[C] Luke Skywalker | Hamill auditioned while sporting a broken nose from a car accident. The farm boy became cinema's most hopeful Jedi, proving destiny starts with twin suns.
2/16
Harrison Ford?
[A] Han Solo | Ford was originally hired as a carpenter on set. His cocky improvisation turned "I know" into one of film's most memorable romantic replies.
3/16
Carrie Fisher?
[D] Princess Leia | Fisher designed her iconic buns inspired by Mexican revolutionary women. This princess proved royalty could wield blasters better than diplomats wielded treaties.
4/16
Alec Guinness/Ewan McGregor?
[B] Obi-Wan Kenobi | Two actors, one legendary Jedi master. Guinness initially doubted the script, while McGregor studied his predecessor's mannerisms to bridge thirty years perfectly.
5/16
Anthony Daniels?
[A] C-3PO | Daniels is the only actor appearing in every theatrical Star Wars film. His golden droid speaks over six million languages but masters complaining fluently.
6/16
Kenny Baker?
[D] R2-D2 | Baker operated the beloved astromech from inside the dome. Artoo's electronic whistles were created by sound designer Ben Burtt using synthesizers and his own voice.
7/16
Peter Mayhew?
[B] Chewbacca | Standing seven feet tall, Mayhew landed the role after meeting Lucas in a hospital. Wookiee roars blended bear, walrus, and badger sounds beautifully.
8/16
David Prowse/James Earl Jones?
[C] Darth Vader | Prowse provided the physique while Jones delivered that unforgettable baritone. The breathing sound came from recording scuba gear in a recording studio.
9/16
Jake Lloyd/Hayden Christensen?
[B] Anakin Skywalker | Two actors portrayed the chosen one's rise and fall. Young Lloyd won a Razzie, but his podracing scenes required real miniature photography genius.
10/16
Billy Dee Williams?
[D] Lando Calrissian | Williams brought smoothness to Cloud City's administrator. His cape became so iconic that costume designers created multiple backups for every filming day.
11/16
Frank Oz?
[D] Yoda | Legendary puppeteer Oz voiced the Jedi grandmaster for decades. Yoda's backward speech pattern was inspired by how native languages structure their sentences differently.
12/16
Larry Ward?
[C] Jabba the Hutt | Ward provided the voice for the slug crime lord. The massive puppet required three puppeteers working together to animate convincingly onscreen.
13/16
Denis Lawson/Colin Higgins?
[B] Wedge Antilles | Lawson refused to return for Rise of Skywalker, calling it boring. Wedge survived both Death Star runs, becoming Rebel Alliance's luckiest pilot.
14/16
Timothy Rose?
[A] Admiral Ackbar | Rose operated the fishy admiral's facial mechanics from inside. His famous trap warning became internet culture decades after Return of the Jedi premiered.
15/16
Jeremy Bulloch/Daniel Logan?
[D] Boba Fett | Bulloch played the mysterious bounty hunter, while Logan portrayed young Boba. The iconic armor was originally designed for white-suited super troopers.
16/16
Temuera Morrison?
[C] Jango Fett | Morrison portrayed both Jango and older Boba. The clones' New Zealand accent came from Morrison's heritage, adding unexpected cultural depth galactically.
