Oola

First Appearance: Return of the Jedi

While Oola the dancer might be a surprise on this list, she’s one of those characters who has gathered a life outside the films with cosplay and parody comics. One of these parody comics is from Blue Milk Special, which rescued both Oola and Biggs Darklighter from their untimely deaths in the Original Trilogy, giving them their own Quixotic adventures in side-strips called appropriately “The Tale of Oola and Biggs.” Surviving Jabba’s palace—and the rancor pit—is a pretty big triumph, even if it’s not canon.
