Draw from 122 named characters across seven eras, from the Old Republic to the fall of the First Order. Filter by faction, by role, and by canon or Legends. Every card names the species, the homeworld, the blade colour where there is one, and the first story the character appeared in.

Jedi Padawan, later Fulcrum

Fans disliked her on arrival and now rank her among the best-written characters in the franchise. Her white blades come from Inquisitor crystals she purified.
Lucasfilm Publishing sorts its stories into named eras, and the dial above follows that split with one change: the Old Republic stop reaches back past the official timeline to cover the four-thousand-year gap the Knights of the Old Republic games and the Tales of the Jedi comics filled in. Dates run in BBY and ABY, meaning years before and after the Battle of Yavin, the Death Star run at the end of A New Hope. Here is what separates one stop from the next.
Thousands of Jedi, thousands of Sith, and open war between them. Almost everything here came out of games and comics rather than film, so most of these cards are Legends. Darth Bane is the exception: his Rule of Two, one master and one apprentice, entered canon through a vision on Moraband in the sixth season of The Clone Wars, which is why every later era holds exactly two Sith at a time.
A publishing project launched in 2021, set two centuries before the films, with the Jedi at their widest reach and no Sith on the board. The threat is the Nihil, a raider cartel run by Marchion Ro, who uses no Force at all. This era holds the fewest cards in the pool, so a narrow filter here runs out in a draw or two.
The prequel trilogy plus the seven seasons of The Clone Wars, which is why this stop holds more cards than any other. Jedi Council members, clone officers, Separatist executives and Dathomirian witches all sit inside thirteen years. If you want a Jedi with a Council seat or a clone with a number, this is the stop.
The stretch the newer live-action shows dug into: Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Solo, and the four seasons of Rebels. Inquisitors hunt the Jedi who survived Order 66, and the Rebellion exists as scattered cells that do not trust each other. Characters from this era tend to have the most complicated loyalties in the pool.
The original trilogy and Rogue One. Nine years, three films, and the names most people picture when they hear Star Wars. Rogue One put twenty cards worth of new faces into these nine years in 2016 and killed all of its leads, which no Star Wars feature had done before.
Thirty years with the Empire beaten and nothing settled. The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka sit at the front of this gap. The back half is where Legends and canon disagree most sharply, because the old Expanded Universe filled these decades with the Thrawn trilogy and the Solo children before 2014 reset the shelf.
The sequel trilogy, compressed into roughly a year of story time. The smallest span on the dial and the newest cast. Blade colours get unusual here: Kylo Ren carries a cracked crystal that makes the blade spit, and Rey finishes the saga with yellow, a colour the films had never put on screen.
In April 2014, Lucasfilm drew a line. Everything in the films and television shows stayed canon. Everything else published up to that point, roughly thirty years of novels, comics and games, moved under the Legends banner and stopped counting toward new stories. The change cleared the way for the sequel trilogy, which needed the decades after Return of the Jedi free.
That line runs straight through this pool. Revan, Darth Malak, Bastila Shan, Meetra Surik, Exar Kun, Nomi Sunrider, HK-47, Mara Jade, Kyle Katarn and Jaina Solo are Legends. They are still fully written characters with decades of material behind them, and plenty of tables run campaigns in that version of the galaxy. They are simply not part of the current timeline.
A few characters crossed back over. Grand Admiral Thrawn was created by Timothy Zahn for a 1991 novel and reintroduced in Rebels in 2016 with the same rank, the same species and the same taste in art. Darth Bane came back through a vision. The Canon only toggle removes the 14 cards that never made the crossing.
51 of the 122 cards carry a lightsaber. Blue leads the count, which tracks the films: the Jedi Order issued blue and green crystals to the point where any other colour needed a reason. Mace Windu got purple because Samuel L. Jackson asked for a blade he could pick out of the Geonosis arena crowd, and George Lucas agreed. Ahsoka Tano carries white because she purified crystals taken from an Inquisitor rather than bonding with her own.
| Blade | Cards | Who carries it |
|---|---|---|
| Blue | 15 | Meetra Surik, Exar Kun, Nomi Sunrider, Avar Kriss, Porter Engle, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Plo Koon, Aayla Secura, Shaak Ti, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Barriss Offee, Kanan Jarrus, Ezra Bridger, Kyle Katarn |
| Red | 14 | Darth Malak, Darth Nihilus, Darth Traya, Ulic Qel-Droma, Darth Bane, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul, Count Dooku, Asajj Ventress, Savage Opress, Darth Vader, Grand Inquisitor, Reva Sevander, Kylo Ren |
| Green | 8 | Loden Greatstorm, Qui-Gon Jinn, Yoda, Kit Fisto, Luminara Unduli, Quinlan Vos, Yaddle, Luke Skywalker |
| Darksaber | 5 | Bo-Katan Kryze, Pre Vizsla, Sabine Wren, Din Djarin, Moff Gideon |
| Yellow | 2 | Bastila Shan, Rey |
| Collected Jedi blades | 1 | General Grievous |

| White | 1 | Ahsoka Tano |
The Darksaber is one physical weapon rather than a colour, so the 5 cards listing it share a single blade across three centuries of story. Pre Vizsla holds it first, Maul takes it from him in combat and carries it alongside his own red blade, and it reaches Sabine Wren, Moff Gideon, Din Djarin and finally Bo-Katan Kryze. Mandalorian law treats whoever wins it in a fight as the rightful ruler, which is the reason Gideon holding it for two seasons was a problem for everyone else.

Turn on Hide names and draw 3. Read out the species, the homeworld and the faction on each card. The first player to name the character keeps it. Most cards wins.
Clone cards are the trap. Rex, Cody and Fives all read as Human clone from Kamino, so the only real clue is the role.
Tabletop prep · 5 minutes
Lock the era to the one your campaign sits in, set Cards per draw to 3, and press once. Those three are who the party meets in the first scene. Keep the facts as hooks.
Reign of the Empire works best for this. Its cards carry the messiest loyalties, so any two of them already have a reason to argue.
Writing prompt · 15 minutes
Draw one card with the era set to Old Republic, then draw again with Rise of the First Order. Write the scene where those two meet, four thousand years apart.
Turn Canon only off for this one. The Legends cards are built for a galaxy with thousands of Jedi, which forces a choice about whose rules apply.

Draw 5 with All eras selected. Put the five in timeline order using only the era span printed on each card, then read the facts aloud to check the answers.
BBY counts down and ABY counts up, so 4000 BBY is older than 32 BBY. That reversal is the part people get wrong first.
The first draw on this page shows Ahsoka Tano, listed as Jedi Padawan, later Fulcrum. Every card carries the same ten fields, which is what makes them comparable in a game. Here is what each line means.

122 named characters from 42 species, spread across seven eras from the Old Republic to the Rise of the First Order. 108 are current canon and 14 come from Legends. Every card lists species, homeworld, faction, role, blade colour where one applies, the first film, series, novel, comic or game the character appeared in, and one fact about the production or the story.
Lucasfilm moved the old Expanded Universe to the Legends label in April 2014, so novels, comics and games released before then stopped counting toward the films and shows. Revan, Bastila Shan, Mara Jade and Kyle Katarn sit on that side of the line. Turn on Canon only and the draw skips all 14 of them.
No. Every draw returns a real named character from the films, series, novels, comics or games. For an invented Jedi or Sith name to use in a game of your own, the villain name generator and the superhero name generator build names from scratch instead.
Not until the filter runs dry. The page sends back the last 30 names you saw, and the draw skips them while fresh characters remain. Narrow filters such as High Republic plus Bounty hunter hold almost nobody, so repeats start fast. Reload the page to clear the session list.
Most characters in the galaxy never touch one. 51 of the 122 cards carry a blade, and the rest show a dash. The Darksaber shows up as its own entry rather than a colour, since the same single blade passes between Pre Vizsla, Maul, Sabine Wren, Moff Gideon, Din Djarin and Bo-Katan Kryze.
Yes. Set the era to match your table, then draw three cards and treat them as the faces your players meet first. The role filter maps onto most Star Wars tabletop archetypes, so a Bounty hunter or Pilot draw gives you a ready contact. Rolling a character the players already know is useful on purpose, since a familiar name sets the scene quicker than an invented one.
No. Toolexe built it as a free fan and trivia tool. There are no images and no connection to Lucasfilm or The Walt Disney Company.
