Star Wars Black Series Characters — Every Figure Guide

The Black Series covers hundreds of characters across its full production history. The pages here cover the characters with enough release history to warrant dedicated comparison — multiple costumes, multiple eras, and real decisions about which version to buy. Browse by faction, species, or display scene for other ways into the collection. Track what you own with the Black Series Checklist.

What the Character Pages Cover

The Black Series is not a single product. It’s a line that has evolved across four phases, shifted from pre-Photo Real to Photo Real face printing, introduced Galaxy Collection packaging, and produced anywhere from a handful to dozens of figures for individual characters. Knowing that a character exists in the line is only the first step. Knowing which figure to buy, which era it covers, and whether it’s been superseded by something better — that’s where these pages help.

The core questions each character page answers: What does each figure cover? Which production era is it from? Which is the display recommendation? Which should you skip?

Characters With Extensive Figure Ranges

Some characters have figures that span the line’s full history. The Original Trilogy protagonists — Luke, Leia, Han, Vader — have accumulated releases spanning every major costume and era across their film appearances. These ranges reward understanding, because buying the wrong version of a much-produced character is easy and happens more than it should.

The Original Trilogy protagonists are the most complex to navigate — multiple film appearances, multiple costume changes, multiple production eras, and often two or three simultaneous recommendations depending on which scene you’re building. The character pages work through that complexity and give specific recommendations by display context.

Characters With Animated and Live-Action Splits

Rebels and Ahsoka characters present a specific collecting decision that doesn’t apply to film characters: the same person exists as both an animated figure and a live-action figure, in different aesthetics that don’t display naturally together. Ahsoka Tano, Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla, Grand Admiral Thrawn — all have animated and live-action versions that serve different display contexts.

The character pages for these figures explain the split clearly and make display-specific recommendations rather than treating one as simply better than the other.

Anonymous Soldier Types

Stormtroopers, Clone Troopers, Scout Troopers, Snowtroopers, First Order Stormtroopers — the army-building characters have their own logic distinct from named characters. The relevant questions are about production era parity (whether older figures hold up for army building), variant identification (which version is for which display era), and quantity strategy (how many creates the visual effect you want).

The character pages for soldier types include dedicated army-building sections that address these questions directly.

Characters From Gaming and Comics

The Black Series extends beyond screen productions to cover gaming-original characters like Cal Kestis, Starkiller, and the Second Sister Inquisitor, and comics-original characters like Doctor Aphra. These pages explain the specific Canon status, the gaming tie-in context, and why the Black Series chose to produce them alongside the film and television cast.
