50. Starkiller / Galen Marek

Starkiller was the apprentice to Darth Vader in the video game The Force Unleashed, set between Episodes III and IV. Vader's purpose of training the apprentice was cemented in the idea of defeating the Emperor.

His sacrifice inspires the foundation of the Rebel Alliance. 

49. Adi Gallia 

Adi Gallia was a leading member of the Jedi Council during the final days of the Republic. She was known for having gone on missions with Anakin and Obi-Wan during the Clone Wars. One of them involved rescuing Jedi Master Eeth Koth from the clutches of General Grievous. She clashed with Grievous more than once, but was killed by the brutal Savage Opress, in an attempt to end the trouble of the Sith brothers.

Greedo later makes an appearance in Episode IV, only to be shot by Han Solo in the Mos Eisley Cantina. 

45. Hondo Ohnaka

The first pirate to have been introduced in the Star Wars universe on-screen, Hondo Ohnaka makes up for an insanely crazy pirate, the equivalent of Jack Sparrow in the Star Wars universe. Their is a reason why so many love this guy: It's hard to cast him as either a bad or a good guy. He first takes hostage both Count Dooku and the Jedi Obi-Wan and Anakin, all whom later escape. Hondo goes off to try to steal the farmers crops in one episode, only to be stopped by the Jedi. He later gets involved neutrally in the Boba Fett feud, and then helps the Rebel forces on Onderon. He later kidnaps Ahsoka but then joins the Jedi as they seek to defend themselves from General Grievous.

Obi-Wan had a romance with her during the time when he was a Padawan and Mandalore was going through a civil war. She later became the ruler of Mandalore, and becomes the number one enemy of Death Watch during the Clone Wars. She faces mutliple attempts of murder, all by men who she trusted and worked closely in her government. She looses her throne by a coup d'etat Pre Vizsla makes with the help of Darth Maul. Satine later dies in the hands of Darth Maul, as a way of enacting revenge on his former lover Obi-Wan. At least, Obi-Wan will remember her as the woman who always loved her...and always wil. :(

43. Wedge Antilles

He manages to help blow up the Second Death Star, along with Lando Calrissian, bringing an end to the Empire once and for all. He was one of the best pilots of the Rebel Alliance.

He later goes on to assist Anakin, Padme and Ahsoka in the Mon Calamari Civil War. He later dies at the hands of Darth Sidious, once he reveals himself as the monster that he really is.
