One of the best parts of Star Wars: Visions is that it introduced fans to a rich variety of new characters. Every single episode other than “Tatooine Rhapsody” featured a cast of entirely brand new characters and even that episode included many new faces.

Fans were introduced to compelling new characters, like a rebellious Hutt who just wanted to play in a band, a former Sith now protecting the innocent, and a droid who became a Jedi. The best Visions‘ characters are those who felt refreshing and multifaceted while also tying into the themes of their respective episodes.

10 TO-B1

TO-B1’s curious, innocent, and playful nature makes him a lovable character. He becomes so much more than that, though, as he is revealed to be a droid with a kyber crystal inside of him, a being who manages to defeat a Sith Inquisitor and to bring life back to a barren planet. TO-B1 shows that everyone can follow their dreams and achieve the seemingly impossible as he becomes a Jedi and fulfills Professor Mitaka’s ambitious mission.

The episode skates over the fact that TO-B1 fooling around led to a Sith Inquisitor finding Professor Mitaka and killing him, but that doesn’t negate the positive lessons that can be learned from TO-B1’s character.

9 Valco

Valco of “The Village Bride” gets some serious style points for using nothing but his helmet–and the explosive inside of it–to blow up the raiders’ starship, which gave them control over an army of Separatist battle droids. Shooting at the battle droids and blowing up the starship is vital to saving the village.

Not only is Valco an invaluable ally, but he is also a good friend to F. He helps nudge her back onto the path of being a Jedi, showing that people need her and that regardless of what happened in her past, she has the potential to do so much good for the galaxy. Valco’s influence helps F embrace her Jedi identity again and together they are able to save the innocent villagers from the merciless raiders.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

8 Karre

The young, hopeful, and powerful Karre feels like an interesting mashup of familiar Star Wars characters. His refusal to give up on his dark side-obsessed sister feels similar to Luke Skywalker refusing to give up on Darth Vader in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. By abandoning the dark side and fighting for the light and the people he loves, Karre also feels akin to Ben Solo after his redemption in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Ending “The Twins” episode with Karre on Tatooine and looking hopefully at the twin suns certainly evokes Luke Skywalker gazing at the twin suns in Star Wars: A New Hope. Karre is inspired by some of Star Wars‘ best characters and if the story of “The Twins” ever continues, it will be interesting to see him truly come into his own.

7 The Elder

“The Elder” is a slow-moving episode, but it comes alive when the titular Elder is present. He is an over-the-top and scary Star Wars villain who is having a blast being evil. He is thrilled to face a worthy opponent in the Force and his eagerness is palpable. The mystery surrounding his character makes him even more compelling.

He was once a Sith but left because he felt they were too obsessed with trying to outwit each other. As he dies, he blows up his ship so the Jedi cannot learn anything else about his past and his connection to the dark side. Time eventually destroyed the Elder, but the episode leaves fans wanting to know more about this villain´s journey from a member of the Sith to a lone dark side user.

6 Lop

Lop of “Lop and Ocho” is a Force-sensitive Lepi. The majority of Jedi or Force-sensitive protagonists in Star Wars are humans, and getting a female Lepi protagonist is a refreshing change of pace. Even though she’s only beginning to embrace her connection to the Force and her future as a Jedi, Lop is already wise beyond her years.

Instead of trying to destroy Ocho, Lop is focused on bringing her sister back from the darkness consuming her. Lop refuses to give up on Ocho and on the family they’ve built together.

5 Gee

Fans have seen plenty of Hutts before in Star Wars, but they’ve never seen an emo, rebellious Hutt who just wants to be a musician. Geezer–nicknamed “Gee”–is unlike any Hutt that fans have seen and is probably the most relatable Hutt to ever exist in Star Wars.

Beyond being unique and relatable, Gee is an admirable character as he knows what he’s passionate about in life and pursues it, regardless of what his family wants from him, regardless of the pressure he faces from Jabba and the rest of his family. He is also non-judgemental, as he never judges Jay for leaving his Jedi past behind and helps Jay pursue a new path that is right for him. Gee embraces Jay and is eager to help him get a fresh start. All fans could learn a thing or two from Gee.

4 F

F is reserved and observes from the sidelines for much of “The Village Bride.” She is an Order 66 survivor hiding from the galaxy. She has stepped away from her Jedi path and not only hides her face but her true self.

The events of the episode eventually convince her to take off the mask and to be her true self again in a sincerely inspiring scene. She proudly embraces her Jedi identity and uses her abilities to save the innocent villagers and strike down the raiders’ ruthless leader Lord Izuma. F shows that no matter what a person has gone through, it’s never too late for someone to find their way again.

3 The Ronin

The Ronin is such an intriguing character that he’s gotten his own Star Wars book by Emma Mieko Candon that builds off of “The Duel.” Ronin’s stoic and enigmatic nature makes him intriguing at first. The intrigue surrounding his character only escalates as it becomes clear that he is a former Sith.

Even by the end of the episode, fans are left wondering why this former Sith would fight the Sith bandit leader and save a village from those terrorizing it. His personality, his prowess in battle and in the Force, and the mystery that surrounds him solidify him as one of Visions‘ best characters and one who needed to be explored beyond a single episode story.

2 Margrave Juro

Margrave Juro is an unpredictable and clever character who keeps people on their toes. For much of Visions‘ best episode “The Ninth Jedi,” he seems like a suspicious and potentially sinister character shrouded in mystery. When he finally reveals himself and that he’s been under the Sith acolytes’ noses the whole time, Juro becomes even more intriguing.

He is a powerful Jedi able to defeat almost all of the Sith acolytes on his own and it becomes clear how intelligent and bold of a character he is in his approach to rebuilding the Jedi Order. Juro goes from seeming like a potential villain to being the wise and heroic mentor character, leaving fans eager to see more of his plans to bring the Jedi back to their full glory.

1 Lah Kara

As the main protagonist of “The Ninth Jedi,” Kara shows a lot of character development and potential over a short period of time. Even though she has little experience for what she’s up against, Kara finds ways to rise to the occasion, even when she is struggling greatly.

Kara’s ability to not give up in the face of Jedi hunters and Sith acolytes is inspiring, as is her will to complete the mission that her father entrusted to her. The moment her lightsaber turns green feels earned. Kara is a character who is easy to root for and who fans would like to see grow even further in a continuation of “The Ninth Jedi” story.
