Feb 1, 2024 · A list of the most memorable and influential female characters in the Star Wars franchise, from Princess Leia to Rey Skywalker. See who made the cut and why, based on their roles, actions, and impact in the galaxy far, far away.
- Leia. First Appearance: A New Hope. If you think of women in the Star Wars universe—whether canon or in the old EU/Legends storylines—Princess/General Leia Organa (Solo) is definitely the top pick.
- Rey. First Appearance: The Force Awakens. Though we don’t yet know much about Rey’s past (and maybe we never will), it’s clear she’s a survivor. She can take care of herself, and others—even when faced with an ex-Jedi trained in mind control trying to torture her.
- Mara Jade. First Appearance: Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn. Of all the female characters in Star Wars Legends, Mara Jade, who was introduced in Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy, is undoubtedly the most popular.
- Maz Kanata. First Appearance: The Force Awakens. It takes a lot of awesome to compete with Yoda as one of the coolest characters in the Star Wars universe, but Maz, with her crazy goggles and her knowledge of the Force, is definitely in the running.

- Leia Organa. There is no female character more inspiring than the first female character ever introduced into the Star Wars universe, Leia Organa. Leia, much like her mother, is incredibly diplomatic, a formidable warrior, and a great leader.
- Ahsoka Tano. As easily the best Jedi in Star Wars history, Ahsoka's journey in the Star Wars universe is fully engaging. Ahsoka, along with being incredibly proficient in combat, has had possibly the best character arc and journey in all of Star Wars.
- Padmé Amidala. Padmé is an incredibly inspiring Star Wars character, who possesses deadly combat skills as well as an impressive political power. Her love for Anakin and their secretive relationship layers Padmé's character.
- Bo-Katan Kryze. After making her debut in The Clone Wars, Bo-Katan quickly became a fan favorite, however, it wasn't until her live-action debut in The Mandalorian that the deadly Mandalorian warrior gained the traction she has today.

- Leia. The first isn’t always the best, but that’s undeniably the case with Princess Leia. Carrie Fisher’s rogue Princess, who is working for the rebellion before we even meet her, is brash, tough, and unwilling to allow herself to simply be the damsel in distress.
- Mon Mothma. Although we don’t have the same level of history with Mon Mothma that we do with some of the other characters on this list, her recent appearance in Andor was more than enough to jump her way up this list.
- Ahsoka Tano. Although Ahsoka has been historically underserved in the broader Star Wars universe, all that is about to change, and with good reason. Her relationship with Anakin in The Clone Wars, and her later adventures in Rebels, have made Ahsoka a real fan favorite.
- Rey. Rey’s reputation took something of a hit in the later parts of the Sequel Trilogy, but there’s no denying that the decision to put a female Jedi at the center of an entire trilogy was one of the main boons of these sequels.
