Affiliation(s) Biggs Darklighter was a Human male starfighter pilot who served the Alliance to Restore the Republic and a childhood friend of Luke Skywalker during the time of the Galactic Civil War.
Along with his friends Princess Leia and Han Solo, Luke battled the evil Empire, discovered the truth of his parentage, and ended the tyranny of the Sith.
Along with his companions, Princess Leia Organa and General Han Solo, Skywalker served as a revolutionary on the side of the Alliance to Restore the Republic—an organization committed to the downfall of the Galactic Empire and the restoration of democracy.
Having refounded the Jedi Order and trained several new Jedi including Leia, Luke eventually marries an enemy-turned-ally Mara Jade, and they have a son named Ben, who was voted the 40th top Star Wars character by IGN and the 6th top Star Wars Expanded Universe character by UGO Networks.
Luke didn't get a chance to know Lando that well within the bounds of the original Star Wars trilogy of films, but details from expanded universe material, whether canon or not, help showcase that these two definitely became friends over the course of the Rebel Alliance and the days following the fall of the Empire.
Biggs Darklighter grew up on Tatooine with Luke Skywalker, and shared his friend's dreams of escaping the dull desert world. After graduating from the Imperial Academy, he defected from the Empire's service to join the Rebellion.
In a recent interview with the Huffington Post, Solo co-writer Jonathan Kasdan made it clear he viewed Lando as pansexual — and wanted his motives to be left up to sexy, sexy interpretation. (Kasdan's co-writer and father Lawrence Kasdan was more ambiguous in his response.)
As a teenager, Darklighter spent much of his time in the town of Anchorhead, where he met young Luke Skywalker. A strong friendship quickly developed between the two.
Over the course of the series, Luke recognizes in Mara an underdeveloped affinity for the Force; and although she initially resists Jedi training, she eventually becomes a Jedi Master. Luke and Mara develop a strong bond in Zahn's The Hand of Thrawn duology; he proposes marriage, and the two wed in Michael A.
Luke reestablishes the Jedi Order, marries a non-movie (but fan favorite) redheaded Force-wielder named Mara Jade, and they have a son, Ben Skywalker (named in honor of Obi-Wan “Ben” Kenobi).
Legend had it that Yoda—a Jedi who became Grand Master—was trained by N'Kata Del Gormo. A Force-sensitive Hysalrian, N'Kata Del Gormo was trained in the ways of the Force and achieved the rank of Master within the Jedi Order.
Princess Leia Organa was one of the greatest leaders of the Rebel Alliance, fearless on the battlefield and dedicated to ending the Empire's tyranny. Daughter of Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker, sister of Luke Skywalker, and with a soft spot for scoundrels, Leia ranked among the galaxy's great heroes.
Rey is almost certainly Luke's daughter. I feel that there is just too much evidence to support this notion: Star Wars is ultimately a story about the Skywalker family. The first 6 episodes are the story of the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker, and ultimately his redemption through his son Luke.
R2-D2. Astromech droid R2-D2 has been a beloved sidekick to several important figures including Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker. Because of his close relationship with these central characters, he has been a part of some of the franchise's most iconic moments, like the destruction of the Death Star.
By the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Luke had accepted that Vader is his father, and his hatred toward his father had completely disappeared, transformed into love and hope, like his late mother, Padmé Amidala, Luke believed there was still good left in Anakin and that he could be redeemed.
Trials, Allies, and Enemies: Luke begins the middle of the story by acquiring a pair of allies, or Loyal Retainers: Han Solo and Chewbacca. However, he also encounters an enemy when a disfigured man accosts him at the bar.
Luke and Leia both lean forward to kiss and nearly do so before being interrupted by C-3PO. And with Han not even present in the scene until the very end of this version, there's no way to argue that the near kiss between later-retconned siblings Leia and Luke was simply meant to make him jealous.
Chewbacca, known affectionately to his friends as Chewie, was a Wookiee male warrior, smuggler, mechanic, pilot, and resistance fighter who fought in the Clone Wars, the Galactic Civil War, the Cold War, and the subsequent First Order-Resistance War.
As Wookiees had good relations with Yoda, they welcomed the Jedi Master and clone troopers to Kashyyyk, their homeworld. During one of the Clone Wars' final battles, Chewbacca fought against Separatist droids alongside Republic forces -- until the execution of Order 66.
Finn is Rey's best friend. They first met on the planet Jakku, after he rescued Poe Dameron from the First Order, but the pilot had apparently died during the rescue attempt.
Star Wars character Lando Calrissian is pansexual, and I couldn't be happier. Commentary: When it comes to representation in a galaxy far, far away, it's good to know Lando sees beyond gender to fall in love the way I do.
Lando Calrissian may have come late to the fight against the Empire, but his role in destroying the second Death Star cemented his reputation as a hero.
