5) Grand Admiral Thrawn- Thrawn is the last living Grand Admiral.  He is a military genius of unorthodox tactics.  He found the lost Katana fleet of  starships.  He is also a passionate collector of art.   

 4) Dash Rendar- Dash became a gambler and a smuggler after the emperor banished him and his family from their home planet.  He is a mercenary and has been known to work for the rebellion from time to time.   He died during the period known as the Shadows of the Empire.       

 3) Prince Xizor- Xizor (She-zor) is a evil underworld crime lord.  He was fooled into helping to hunt down the rebels by the Emperor.  He is also the prince of crime and leader of almost everything illegal in the universe.      

 2) Emperor Palpatine- He is the main source of evil in the trilogy, and is the leader of the Galactic Empire.  He used his mind manipulation to make Vader and Xizor race each other in their pursuit of Luke.  He is also former Senator and is well trained in the ways of the force.      

 1) Boba Fett- This is my favorite character in the Star Wars trilogy.  He is the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy.  He was smart enough to collect bounties on Han Solo from both the Empire and Jabba the Hutt.  He is protected by his Mandrolian Armor and his countless weapons.  He survived being eaten by the Sarlacc by using a flame-thrower to toast its stomach, then crawling out the mouth of the beast.
