Then: C-3POThis hapless protocol droid was designed to serve humans – something he did well, although often in spite of himself. Together with R2-D2, he played a major role in the eventual defeat of the Empire, despite being captured by Jawas, blasted by storm troopers and sloppily rebuilt by a Wookiee along the way. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Lucasfilm) The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.

Then: ChewbaccaAs half of one of cinema’s great bromances, Chewie spent his time cruising around space in the Millennium Falcon with partner and co-pilot Han Solo.

Then: Luke Skywa...The boyish hero of the saga, Luke lived his own coming-of-age story as he delivered victory to the Rebel Alliance, along the way losing his hand, kissing his sister and discovering that his father is the evil scoundrel he’s been trying to defeat.
