Colonel Sanders (+8)
"At age 65, armed with nothing more than determination, a bucket of chicken and a secret recipe, Colonel Harland Sanders started KFC and had the whole universe lickin' its fingers a few years later. His reputation as a force to be reckoned with makes him a natural when it comes to showing the Dark Side who's boss. Any Battle Droid messing with the Colonel had better watch out, because this time, he's serving up a bucket full of pain."

The Chihuahua (+7)
"A true dog of the people, the Chihuahua has tirelessly devoted his life to one thing&mdash;the pursuit of tacos. This kind of dedication has allowed him to heighten his natural skills of navigation, negotiation and general deviousness. Now he is putting his considerable talents to work fighting the ultimate evil in the universe. Because, he rationalizes, when the universe is free, the tacos are free. In the meantime, he's confident he'll get that Jedi mind trick to work eventually."

Galaxy at War (+4)
"The battlefield weapons of Star Wars are both spectacular and brutally efficient. Consider that the typical nonheroic character has 4 hit points and a Damage Threshold of 10 at first level. Next, take into account that a blaster rifle deals 3d8 damage on a hit, with an average damage of 13 or 14. Obviously, a single hit from such a weapon is enough to kill a lower-level NPC. Heroic characters, even with their higher hit point totals, are not immune to such damage. An average first-level soldier can take only three such hits. Even taking into account the variables granted by catching a second wind or spending a Force Point, that soldier is reduced to a stage that makes him or her combat ineffective unless medical attention is received. Combat in Star Wars is a deadly business."

Boba Fett (+5)
"Throughout the vast reaches of the galaxy&mdash;wherever fugitives met or lawbreakers conspired&mdash;one name was always uttered in hushed tones&hellip; A name guaranteed to strike fear into the stoutest heart. Some said he was a Mandalore warrior, others that he merely wore the Mandalore battle suit because of its unrivaled killing power. The truth was impossible to confirm, for none had seen the face that gazed with merciless eyes from within that battered helmet&mdash;none, at least, who had lived to tell the tale. What no one had doubted was that Boba Fett was the most heartless being in the universe."

Anakin Skywalker (+3)
"The weakness in his knees he'd felt when he saw Tru walk away was gone. In a strange way, the mission had strengthened him. He had a stronger conviction now, a harder edge to fight with. Everything had fallen away from him - his childhood, his friends, his wish to impress the Jedi Council. He would never be helpless again. He would only grow stronger. He had fought with a Sith and seen true power. One day he would be able to match it. He would be able to fight it. Not yet. But someday. Soon."

Anakin Skywalker (+3)
"As a boy, he hadn't wanted things to change. He wanted to keep those he loved close to him forever. Yet everything did change. He was far from his mother. He had lost Darra. Tru. And Qui-Gon. He couldn't fight against those kinds of losses. So be it. He would have to push them down until they didn't matter anymore. One day, he would face his worst loss, the loss of his Master. By surpassing him, he would lose him. He pictured Obi-Wan turning to him in slow surprise, grasping for the first time the true extent of his power. Seeing that the student had outstripped the teacher. On that day, Anakin's heart would break for the last time. He would feel the weight of impossible sorrow. He would not be able to bear that sorrow. Unless he no longer had a heart."
