This is an incomplete list of prominent characters from the Star Wars franchise, sorted by last name. Many of the characters listed below created for the original extended universe now called Legends. These are no longer are considered part of the Star Wars canon but remain on this list. While it's commonly considered that C-3PO and R2-D2 are the only Star Wars characters to be in all 7 movies, Obi-Wan Kenobi also appears in all of the films: during The Force Awakens, Ewan McGregor's voice can be heard saying the newly recorded dialogue "These are your first steps" while via archive recordings Alec Guinness says "Rey", both occur during a flashback caused by Rey's touching Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber. Before The Force Awakens, Anakin also appeared in all of the films, and was planned to make an appearance as a force ghost in The Force Awakens, but was removed in later versions of the story.
Please note that this table includes Special Edition changes such as Boba Fett in A New Hope or Ian McDiarmid replacing Clive Revill in The Empire Strikes Back. Also though David Prowse portrayed Darth Vader in the original trilogy, the character's voice was provided by James Earl Jones, and was replaced by Bob Anderson for the lightsaber duels in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi
Kill me,
so I shall tell you
how it is to die
Kill me,
so you might see
another star in the sky
Kill me,
kill the paper vampire
this is my boon
Kill me,
worship my desire
under the light of the moon
… but you see in my eyes
my hate and my insanity
… but i feel in your lies
your insecure vanity
Kill me,
lay a rose on my grave
Kiss me,
kiss the soul of your slave
this is my weak hope
an etheral praise
please, close your eyes
before my scope
… an eternal place
shall realize…
Kiss me,
until my last breath
hear me
lady of sorrow
before my mind
