Q&A for How to Create Your Own Star Wars Character

Looking at baby names can have surprising results! Try changing one letter of a common name, such as Kyle to Kylo. Then, think of a color and change one letter for your second name (such as Red to Ren), and you're golden! You can always name your character after yourself or a friend too. Finally, try combining one or more existing Star Wars names.

It depends on what race your character is, what their profession is, and what their gender is. Look through some Star Wars Universe guide books, concept art, and screen shots (both from the films and video games) for some ideas.

I like to think of a human name and edit it from there until it sounds good. Like Max for example, you could turn it into "Mazino" or "Amax," or whatever you want. Just make it sound like it's from another galaxy.

It depends on the bond of the Force. For Jedi, it's usually blue or green for their strength in the force, blue represents their strength while green represents knowledge.

Yes. The lightsaber is the most representative weapon for the Sith or Jedi. It is a representation of their bond with the force and their style of fighting.

Look into the Lore and even other franchises. Try to go against the grain with usual Sith characters. I.e. I have a Jedi during the Clone Wars who had a mother-daughter relationship with her master. Sidious had her and her master tortured for a month before her master was killed in front of her. Using the power of the Dark Side, she managed to break out and fight off the MagnaGuards and Grevious using primarily Dark Side powers. The Grievous fled and destroyed the base trying to kill the Padawan but failed. The Padawan found an old ship in the underground of the base and fled the base with her master's corpse to the Jedi Temple. She spent time recovering and mourning her dead master.

You can go to Hollywood Studios and pay money to create a lightsaber, or go on YouTube and look up DIY lightsaber videos if you want to make one at home.

Yes, you can do anything you want. Imagination takes part in this cosplay/costume. If you want to base it off of Han Solo you are welcomed to. Be creative and enjoy doing it.

Jedis mostly wear long robes with a lightsaber .You can look on the internet for more ideas.

In the Star Wars movies, the soldiers known as troopers use blasters, which look like they came from the year 2070 and shoot red light beams. Your trooper's blaster should look like a gun that is invented far in the future.

Yes. It's your character, so it's completely up to you. You could use any color you wanted!

It is not a bad thing for you character to be a Jedi or a Sith. It depends on what your character is like and what you want them to be.

Yes, definitely! You might want to have it so that at first, the Jedi didn’t trust him.

I have tried this and it was really fun! Just try not to make it too overpowered and/or not associated with the Star Wars feeling. Otherwise, I think it is fine.

Find a name that fits you, your character, and that you would love to be called. Here are some ideas: Daggoe Paxton, Ames Cielo, Aurora Starbeam, Jon Starlowe, Bono Ackron, Rev Oideron and Jayda Starborne.

They would wear golden jewelry and white/grey/black similar to the Imperial Navy Uniform. Imperials would have more professional dress to wear. The republic would have more culturally related clothing and and traditional styles tied into their dress.

Yes, you can do that if you'd like. Make them a species that originally came from the Unknown Regions, to explain why they never appeared.

You can use any program. Kleki and Pixilart are both free to use, and Pixilart is free to create an account.

It refers to moral, ambiguity, reconstruction, and healing. Sometimes, It also means you don't belong to the dark side nor the light side.

Use armor references that have already existed from the same universe or from others like the MCU, LOTR, The Hobbit, or Transformers.
