Star Wars is full of characters who are way too confident in their own abilities. As a result, many of the characters we love (as well as a few that we don't) are eventually punished for their own hubris.&nbsp;Heroes and villains alike have bitten off more than they could chew. As Han Solo reminded us though, “Don't get cocky.” Thankfully, these characters are also <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-luckiest-characters/joe-allen">pretty lucky</a>, and occasionally, these moments are also ones where a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-fake-out-deaths/joe-allen">fake-out death</a> occurs. Sometimes, no one dies, and the moment is <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-heartbreaking-non-death-moments/joe-allen">still heartbreaking</a> for other reasons. Whatever the moment may feel like, though, these are the moments when a Star Wars character bit off way more than they could chew. Take a look down below and be sure to vote up the Star Wars characters who got in over their head.&nbsp;

Anyone who knows a decent amount about Star Wars likely knows that the galaxy is divided into rims based on a planet's proximity to the center of the galaxy. The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-outer-rim-planet-facts/joe-allen">outer rim</a> gets plenty of attention, in part because it's where <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-tatooine-facts/joe-allen">Tatooine</a>, everyone's favorite desert wasteland, is located. There's also the<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-galactic-core-facts/joe-allen"> galactic core</a>, where planets like Coruscant and Alderaan are.&nbsp;In between those two, though, is the Mid-Rim, which may be the least explored of the three regions. Even if you know plenty about Star Wars more generally, you may not know everything there is to know about the planets in the Mid-Rim. Thankfully, we're here to help. Be sure to vote up the coolest thing you learned about these Mid-Rim planets.&nbsp;

Great Moments in the Galaxy

For the most part, the heroes in Star Wars stories behave pretty nobly. Sometimes though, our favorite heroes can do things that feel cold-blooded or harsh. These acts can range from a clever con all the way up to a surprise murder, but what unites each of them is they feel like something that a villain might do, even though it's for the greater good.&nbsp;This list includes some moments when the Jedi were tempted by the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-jedi-dark-side-moments/tyler-mitchell">dark side of the Force</a>. It also includes a few of the<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-grisly-moments/jonathan-kantor"> grislier moments</a> in Star Wars canon.

In the years since they were released, the Star Wars sequel trilogy has become (slightly less) controversial among fans of the franchise.

A Galaxy Far Away

Watchworthy

In the Star Wars galaxy, luck is a touchy subject. Sure, the galaxy is filled with mystical powers like the Force, which absolutely guide the hands of some characters and push them towards their destiny, but other times, certain characters seem to find themselves dealt a lucky hand, powers-that-be be damned.Luck may come and go and there are some characters that are straight up <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-unlucky-characters/joe-allen">unlucky</a>.

There's a fair amount of death in the world of Star Wars, but for every real death in the series, there's at least one time that the franchise seems to kill off a character and then ultimately decides to keep them around. These fake-outs are remarkably common and can occur for characters that range in size from main roles to smaller side characters.&nbsp;Star Wars is not alone in using this kind of fake-out as a storytelling device. The <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/mcu-fake-out-ends/stephanroget">MCU has done it too</a>, and plenty of TV shows have had <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/unsurprising-tv-character-resurrections/lina-lecaro">unsurprising resurrections</a>. In Star Wars, though, they usually come with the added benefit of a<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-lightsaber-duel/jacob-shelton"> lightsaber duel</a> and the emotional weight of a tauntaun. Take a look down below and be sure to vote up the fake-out deaths that you think are the most believable.&nbsp;

The Force binds the Star Wars galaxy together and (whether they know it or not) it leads every character we meet along the way to their respective destinies. As it goes, for every character that tries to shape their own destiny regardless of the circumstance, there’s always another character who finds themself facing a string of terrible luck.Those characters may sometimes be one and the same but often they are just the ones who lose the most frequently- will of the Force be damned! They don't win their fights, or they find themselves dismembered, or they face tragedy after tragedy. It's all bad news for them!

Sad Star Wars Stuff

Star Wars has had its fair share of devastating moments. As one of the most important franchises of the past 40 years, it's delivered everything from triumph to devastation, and one of the things fans love most about it is its ability to gesture at broad, sweeping emotions. Often, the most heartbreaking moments in a given Star Wars story come when a significant character dies.&nbsp;Sometimes, though, no deaths are necessary for audiences to be deeply moved. The characters in Star Wars have been through so much, and part of the brilliance of the story is that we understand all of them deeply. Each character feels totally real, which only makes each of these moments all the more heartbreaking. Be sure to vote up your favorite moments below!

One of the foundational lessons of Star Wars is that it would be unwise to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-droid-facts/joe-allen">underestimate a droid</a>. After all, R2-D2 and C-3PO are among the first characters we meet inside of Star Wars, and they remain important point-of-view characters throughout the rest of the movie saga. Even as <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/complete-r2d2-star-wars-timeline/tyler-mitchell">R2's story</a>, in particular, seems to drive a lot of the main action, though, it's also worth considering all the other droids that have come in clutch at various points throughout the broader Star Wars universe.&nbsp;After all, some of the droids on this list have been impressive enough to take down Star Destroyers, and there are still times when people underestimate them. R2-D2 may be the most <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/r2d2-biggest-flexes/joedonley">notorious flexer</a> on this list, but he's far from the only droid who has proved his value in the Star Wars canon.

Star Wars is famous for its remarkably <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-pilot-facts/jonathan-kantor">gifted pilots</a>, but one less frequently addressed topic is how many starships crash across the broader canon of the series. Star Wars has introduced a wide array of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-ship-vehicle-details/joe-allen">fascinating vehicles</a> over the course of the franchise, and in that time, it's also found innovative ways to blow up a number of those ships.&nbsp;There are plenty of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/small-details-final-star-wars/joedonley">details </a>worth looking at more closely inside the universe of Star Wars, and these crashes are among the most fascinating. A shocking number of them are caused by pilots who are supposed to be among the best in the galaxy. You could make the argument that that's a result of how often they wind up flying, but still. At any rate, vote up the Star Wars crashes you just can't look away from.&nbsp;

Although it's not the only thing Star Wars is known for, the movies have consistently delivered pretty shocking twists to their audiences. A lot of those twists have specifically focused on the question of someone's parentage or lineage, but those aren't the only kinds of reveals that happen in the world of Star Wars. As the universe has expanded, some things have been revealed in places like <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-comic-book-revelations/stephanroget">comics</a> or TV shows.&nbsp;Even so, there have been plenty of major reveals that were reserved for the feature films that had nothing to do with someone's parents, and we're counting them down here. There are some real doozies on this list, and a few of them may even rank among the best <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-influential-movie-plot-twists/mike-mcgranaghan">plot reveals</a> in movie history.

You might not think of Star Wars as a particularly graphic franchise, but there has been a fair share of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-grisly-moments/jonathan-kantor">grisly moments</a> in that galaxy far, far away. Anyone who knows anything about the franchise is likely aware that George Lucas has a particular “love” for dismemberment and a number of main characters wind up missing at least one limb at some point in their stories.&nbsp;Of course, Star Wars isn't the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/every-mcu-hand-cut-off/stephanroget">only major franchise</a> where hands get cut off. Even so, though, it's likely one of the most important, in part because Luke losing his hand in The Empire Strikes Back was an important suggestion about where that movie was going to end, and what kind of story <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/things-you-didnt-know-about-original-star-wars-trilogy/jonathan-kantor?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the original trilogy</a> was telling.

Star Wars has introduced a number of memorable characters over the course of its expansive universe.

For every great character that's spanned across the franchise, though, there are others that have existed in much more <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/minor-star-wars-character-facts/jonathan-kantor">minor roles</a>.&nbsp;Some of the most impactful Star Wars characters have been total one-offs– only appearing in a significant role in a single film. That doesn't mean that their canon hasn't been built out to some extent in comics or television shows, but it does mean that casual fans are only familiar with them from a single movie appearance. Characters like <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-qui-gon-jinn-facts/jonathan-kantor">Qui-Gon Jinn</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-general-grievous-facts/joe-allen">General Grievous</a> fit this bill perfectly, but there are plenty of great Star Wars characters with more limited screen time than you may remember.&nbsp;This is a list outlining one-off characters from the Star Wars franchise that have appeared in only one movie.

The<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/jedi-order-facts/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank"> Jedi Order </a>is filled with some of the best-known characters&nbsp;in&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;canon. Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Anakin&nbsp;are all members of the Order in&nbsp;the prequels, but they are also surrounded by a number of other <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/minor-star-wars-character-facts/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">colorful characters</a> who are&nbsp;explored in less depth in&nbsp;the movies.&nbsp;

Among those less-defined characters is Plo Koon, a Jedi Master who has&nbsp;almost no dialogue but is featured as a member of the Council in all three films. Some people may know a few things about Plo Koon, but there are plenty of pieces of his history that have gone under-explored, including his fairly deep connection with <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-ahsoka-tano/tamar-altebarmakian" target="_blank">Ahsoka Tano</a>.

They don&#39;t have a ton of screen time throughout the&nbsp;movie series, but <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/luke-skywalker-facts/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">Luke Skywalker</a>&#39;s uncle Owen and aunt Beru are hugely important to whom he ultimately becomes. They were fiercely protective of Luke&nbsp;and totally aware of all the pitfalls that&nbsp;led his father toward the dark side. Neither one of them was a perfect parent, but they gave Luke all the love he needed to grow into the hero he ultimately becomes in the original trilogy.&nbsp;

Living on <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-tatooine-facts/joe-allen" target="_blank">Tatooine</a> may not seem like the most appealing choice, but Owen and Beru were dedicated to their farm and land, and their isolation proved crucial in hiding Luke from the Empire. Given their relatively <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/minor-star-wars-character-facts/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">minor roles</a> in the story, many fans of&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;may not know much about their history, or whom they would ultimately become.

Of all the characters introduced in the&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;prequels, General Grievous is hands-down one of the coolest. He doesn&#39;t show up in the films until&nbsp;Revenge of the Sith, but his design and his backstory of taking down Jedi Knights make him instantly compelling. Grievous is one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-villain-facts/joe-allen" target="_blank">great villains</a> of the&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;saga, and as the apprentice of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-count-dooku-facts/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">Count Dooku</a>, he also serves an essential role once Dooku has been dispatched.&nbsp;

In spite of the love that Grievous gets, there&#39;s plenty that even die-hard&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;fans might not know about him. For example, he bore great disdain for <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-droid-facts/joe-allen" target="_blank">battle droids</a>, even though he himself was made of plenty of cybernetic parts. He has a rich backstory, and he did quite a bit during the Clone Wars that doesn&#39;t show up in the movies. Grievous may not be the ultimate baddie of the&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;saga, but he&#39;s one of its best side villains.

At first glance, stormtroopers don&#39;t seem like the most interesting part of the&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;universe. For the most part, they&#39;re easily defeated by the heroes in (nearly) every iteration of the&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;story, but that doesn&#39;t mean there isn&#39;t a wealth of information about the Empire&#39;s army worth diving into. For instance, there&#39;s the 501st Legion - AKA Vader&#39;s Fist, was Vader&#39;s personal battalion that he carried over from the Clone Wars, and there were even&nbsp;academies where <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-villain-details/joedonley" target="_blank">the Empire</a> would train and indoctrinate&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/stormtrooper-cameos-sw-universe/tyler-mitchell" target="_blank">stormtroopers</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;

These lesser-known facts&nbsp;show that stormtroopers are well worth thinking about and dissecting. Sure, they may get made fun of for their <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stormtrooper-aim-accuracy/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">terrible accuracy</a>, but it&#39;s far too easy to underestimate the backbone of the Empire&#39;s ground forces. This is a collection of things most&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;fans probably didn&#39;t know about stormtroopers. Take a gander down below and be sure to vote up any facts that surprise you!

The planets of the&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;galaxy are impressively distinct from one another, and that&#39;s in part because each planet has a firm location within the larger galaxy. Worlds near the galaxy&#39;s center tend to be more densely populated&nbsp;and they also tend to have more wealth than their more distant neighbors. Those planets in&nbsp;the Outer Rim are frequently&nbsp;neglected, sparsely populated, and are often still considered part of the frontier (see: rich with exploitable resources).&nbsp;

Although these planets don&#39;t have as many people on them, they&#39;re often where&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;stories are set. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/star-wars-tatooine-facts/joe-allen" target="_blank">Tatooine</a>, one of the most interesting planets in&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;canon, is in the Outer Rim, as are other fascinating planets like<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/mustafar-facts-star-wars/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank"> Mustafar</a>, Geonosis, and Dagobah. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-star-wars-planets/williamsbrianjake" target="_blank">Every planet</a>&nbsp;in&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;has a remarkable&nbsp;history and plenty of interesting facts, and the planets of the Outer Rim are no different. They may not have the same riches or populations as some other planets, but that doesn&#39;t make them any less fascinating. Be sure to vote up the coolest facts about these Outer Rim planets.&nbsp;
