Star Wars:
Luke Skywalker
"That's... (Beat) very unlikely..."
- Voiced by: Mark Hamill (Season 1), Bob Bergen (all later appearances)
The Chosen One who will save the galaxy, who else?
- Adaptational Jerkass: Downplayed, but this Luke is clearly not as morally pristine as his movie counterpart. Among other things, he is a regular at the Tosche Station strip club, sleeps with Leia and grins when she says that it is wrong, and agrees to Vader's offer to rule together (but falls accidentally when he tries to join him).
- Big "NO!": Obviously, the one after The Reveal in The Empire Strikes Back, which is parodied in several sketches including "Luke learns the truth", the first to reference Star Wars in the show.
- Demoted to Extra: Luke appears in many sketches, but they tend to be short physical gags or revolve around secondary characters promoted to main.
- Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: A variant, in that watchers generally find Hamill to sound more like The Joker than Luke due to his age. Perhaps because of that, Hamill returned in other episodes to voice Joker but never again Luke, who fell to Bergen instead.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He stays to hear reveal after reveal from Darth Vader until he decides one is too much, scolds Vader for not taking things seriously, and leaves: the Force being the work of symbiotic Midi-chlorians.
- Survivor's Guilt: After destroying the Death Star, he enthusiastically says that he cannot wait to tell uncle Owen and aunt Beru before remembering that they were murdered.
- Sitcom Archnemesis: To the Emperor. He challenges and defeats him in a "yo mama" rap battle.
Darth Vader
- Voiced by: Abraham Benrubi
The feared Dark Lord of the Sith. Who is still carrying a lot of baggage from his Jedi days.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: He's still guilty of his canon crimes like killing younglingsnote and serving a dictatorship, but he's a lot more personable here and isn't as much of a Bad Boss.
- Adaptational Wimp: Played with in "Death Star Orientation" as the Imperial officer giving the orientation reveals that his Force Choke ability isn't actually a thing. Officers on the receiving end of his wrath simply fake being choked to death and are given disguises afterwards. However they only do it out of fear of Vader using his lightsaber instead if he ever figured it out.
- Affably Evil: He's generally a nice guy when not on the job, and the show changes him from a You Have Failed Me Bad Boss to a A Father to His Men Benevolent Boss.
- A Father to His Men: This version of Vader tends to get along with his subordinates, and gets upset when the rebels kill or at the least inconvience his men.Vader: (while strangling a rebel) What have you done with those plans?! Gary here never gets to see his daughter because of people like you!
- A Lighter Shade of Black: Compared to his mainstream counterpart, this guy's a saint. He only ever commits acts of villainy under direct orders, and tends not to embrace a Card-Carrying Villain attitude.
- The Omniscient: Somehow he knows every spoiler in Star Wars canon even before it happens, like the ewoks defeating the Empire.
- Pet the Dog: Vader in this show has quite of few moments of kindness and decency and tends not to be a Bad Boss in constant Tranquil Fury.
- He is both touched by one of his stormtroopers(who he knows by name) Gary bringing his daughter to work for bring your daughter to work day and irritated when he finds out that one of the reasons he rarely sees her is because of the rebels constantly making trouble.Vader: (After Gary explains why his daughter is with him and that he loves her)..That really hits me where I live.
Vader:(Angrily while choking a rebel) What have you done with those plans?! Gary here never gets to see his daughter because of people like you! - While dueling with Luke on the Death Star, when Vader learns that Leia is his daughter, his reaction is basically a Flat "What", followed by a long pause where he then calls a time out to the fight so he can go get her an apology card for torturing her on the first Death Star.Store Clerk: Can I help you find something?
Vader: I need an "I'm sorry" to daughter card.
- He is both touched by one of his stormtroopers(who he knows by name) Gary bringing his daughter to work for bring your daughter to work day and irritated when he finds out that one of the reasons he rarely sees her is because of the rebels constantly making trouble.
Emperor Palpatine
- Voiced by: Seth MacFarlane
The supreme leader of the Empire. Who is stuck dealing with all the little annoyances that entails.
- Adaptational Backstory Change: Though relatively the same as it still has him as a politician of noble upbringing who thought he could run the galaxy better than the current system, he became a Sith Lord on his own initiative.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: While still a Jerkass here, Palpatine isn't portrayed as the psychopath he is in canon. He's more a grumpy boss who happens to be a galactic dictator. For example, his first appearance has him apologizing to Vader for bringing up Padme after yelling at him for the Death Star blowing up, while canon Palpatine would at best not give a shit about how he'd feel.
- Breakout Character: Thanks to the famed phone call with Vader
, RC Palpatine became a series standby. Even getting the third Star Wars special focused on him. - Fantastic Racism: He refused to share an elevator with a bunch of Quarren because "I don't want to smell like fish all day!"Quarren: ...That's hurtful, man.
Palpatine: Then next time, just let it go! Let it go. - Incredibly Lame Pun: His original suggestion for Vader, after the latter had lost his limbs on Mustafar is "Darth Matt" - as in "What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs laying on the floor?"
- I Was Quite a Looker: We see him 30 years before the Empire is formed in the third Star Wars special, and he looks pretty good for someone who would in his own words ended up looking "like I have a scrotum for a face!"
- Punch-Clock Villain: A huge drive in his humour. Compared to the loathsome figure of evil he is in the original media, this Palpatine is conveyed more as comedic Pointy-Haired Boss just trying to get his Empire running competently.
- Surrounded by Idiots: Palpatine isn't super impressed by his minions. Especially Vader.Palpatine: Choose your apprentice in haste, repent in leisure as the saying goes.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
- Dirty Old Man: Jedi Mind Tricks himself in the mirror with the phrase "You have a lot to offer a woman."
Han Solo
- Voiced by: Keith Ferguson
- "Fawlty Towers" Plot: "Slight Weapons Malfunction" expands the scene where this happens in A New Hopenote by having Han pick a name of a random from a employee's booklet, who gets contacted immediately and also does not know about any reactor in the area. Then Han mentions Vader must have it installed yesterday, so the guard connects to Darth Vader but he doesn't know about a reactor either, then he calls his secretary to check the Death Star's plans, sees there's no reactor in the prisoner control room but decides to have one built, leading to the guard sending a team to install the new reactor. Han tells him they have it covered, shoots the communicator, before getting hyped up to build the reactor.
- Sitcom Archnemesis: With Boba Fett.
Boba Fett
- Voiced by: Breckin Meyer
The Best Bounty Hunter in the League.
- Breakout Character: Much like with Emperor Palpatine above, RC Boba Fett became a standout character in the Robot Chicken Star Wars episodes.
- Disappeared Dad: Much like in-canon, Bobas' father Jango Fett was killed on Geonosis.
- Expy: RC Boba Fett is essentially Deadpool in Star Wars.
- Merchandise-Driven: Emperor Palpatine gripes about how in Robot Chicken Star Wars Episode III that they were contractually-obligated to follow the story of Boba Fett.Palpatine: That's what you get for selling the most action figures. Thank you, fanboys!
- Sequel Hook: The Stinger of Episode III ends on Boba Fett and the Weequay Guard being ejected from the Sarlacc Pit and the two of them take over Jabbas' Palace.Boba Fett: Episode Siete: "Boba On The Hunt", semi-colon "Watch Your Ass, Solo"...
- Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: Played for laughs; he annoys the Sarlacc so much it takes him out of its stomach.
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe:
Skeletor
- Voiced by: Dan Milano
Arch-enemy of He-Man. And just as incompetent as he ever was.
- Accidental Hero: In "Baby Want More", his scheme of getting slapped in baby form by a nanny because it turns him on accidentally ends up exposing her as abusive to the kingdom.
- Bring Me My Brown Pants: Referenced in "The Death of He-Man" sketch;Orko: (muscle-bound and wielding the Sword of Power) I HAVE THE POWER!Skeletor: I have crapped my pants!
- Butt-Monkey: Nothing goes right for him like in his home series, and with this show's edgier adult humor, he tends to suffer much more, up to and including death.
- Grandfather Paradox: Happens in the "Skele-terminator" skit where he goes back to kill He-Man's dad and his mistress when he figures she might be He-Man's mom. Turns out said mistress is his mom and he vanishes.
- Lampshade Hanging: People frequently question how he can see or hear with his condition.
- Oh, Crap!: Says this word-for-word in "The Death of He-Man" when He-Man is killed for real, which is going to bring the whole kingdom's wrath on their heads for the first ever murder in Eternian history.
- Tempting Fate: Every time he declares his latest scheme is "The perfect plan!"
