Bib Fortuna
Bib Fortuna is the special advisor to Jabba the Hutt. Wherever you find Jabba, you’ll find Bib Fortuna. Other than helping Jabba, though, Fortuna can’t really do a whole lot.
He doesn’t carry a weapon, so his fighting skills are limited. Up close, he can throw a punch or two, but chances are he’ll be dead by then from a long-range blaster shot.
Chancellor Palpatine
This old man likes to keep his mastery of the Force on the down low. Instead, he engages others in the way a politican does: with his cackling voice.
Gamorrean Guard
The Gamorrean guard might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he is the biggest. That’s probably why Jabba has them employed to protect his palace. These large porcine creatures carry around big axes.
These powerful axes can take out some enemies with one stroke, can be used in a lunging attack, and can even block incoming attacks. But the Gamorrean guards aren’t all work and no play.
Whenever a jukebox has been assembled, they rock out and play air guitar on their weapons.
Gonk Droid
The gonk droid can be a dangerous droid if you get caught using one in battle. It’s extremely slow and has no means of defending itself or accomplishing tasks.
If you find yourself about to play as this character, be sure to change right away.
Imperial Guard
Wearing their bright red uniforms, the Imperial Guard are loyal guards sworn to protect the Emperor. Because they are mostly used for defense, they don’t have a lot of offensive power.
They carry a staff that they can swing at enemies who are really close, but don’t try a jump attack or you’ll wind up on your face. If an enemy tries to shoot you from far away, use the staff to deflect the shots right back at him.
Imperial Spy
The Imperial spy is great for calling in backup and ratting out the location of wanted Rebels. But when it comes to fighting, the Imperial spy is less than ideal.
He has absolutely no means to defend himself, so selecting another character might be more helpful during your adventures.
Lobot
On the Cloud City of Bespin, Lobot is Lando Calrissian’s right-hand man and does his every bidding—even if it means going against the powerful Empire.
Unfortunately for Lobot, he is not much for shoot-outs, and doesn’t carry any kind of blaster weapon. If he does find himself in a fight, at least he has his hand-to-hand combat skills.
He throws right and left uppercuts before tossing in a headbutt for good measure. He fights dirty!
PK Droid
This little droid can get you in trouble if you ever find yourself in a battle. They are not very quick, and they have no weapons. The best that they can do is hide until trouble goes away.
Create Your Own Character
The last two spots in the characters selection screen are reserved for two characters that you create. You could have a lightsaber-wielding Tusken Raider with a large poofy afro. Or you could have a skeleton-faced Queen Amidala, sporting a bowcaster.
There are thousands of different unique and creative characters you can make. Whatever character you wish to create, you can play him, her, or it in the game’s Freeplay mode. Your newly created character even gets a buff at 100% completion.
