Faction is one of the most powerful ways to understand Star Wars — and one of the most intuitive ways to organise a Vintage Collection display.
Every character belongs to something: a rebellion, an empire, a syndicate, a temple, a government, a cause, or sometimes nothing at all.
These affiliations shape their costumes, their equipment, their allies, their enemies, and the stories they inhabit.

This hub explores every faction represented in The Vintage Collection, from galaxy‑spanning superpowers to small ideological remnants.
Each faction has its own identity, aesthetic, and storytelling footprint — and each one contributes to the richness of 3.75‑inch collecting.

Major Galactic Factions

Rebel Alliance

The Rebel Alliance is the beating heart of the Original Trilogy — a coalition of freedom fighters, pilots, diplomats, smugglers, and idealists who refused to accept Imperial rule.
In The Vintage Collection, the Rebellion appears through starfighter pilots, troopers from every front, alien allies, and the leaders who held the movement together.
It’s a faction defined by colour, diversity, and the sense that anyone can make a difference.

Galactic Empire

Cold, uniform, and brutally efficient, the Empire represents the height of authoritarian power.
Stormtroopers, officers, pilots, specialists, and dark enforcers form a visual language of oppression that has defined Star Wars for nearly fifty years.
In TVC, the Empire is a collector’s dream: army builders, variants, specialists, and some of the most iconic silhouettes in the franchise.

Criminal Syndicates

The underworld of Star Wars is vast — Hutt cartels, bounty hunters, pirates, smugglers, spice runners, and shadowy crime families.
From Jabba’s Palace to the streets of Mos Espa to the neon underbelly of the Mando era, these characters bring grit, texture, and personality to displays.
TVC has always excelled at scoundrels and aliens, making this one of the richest and most characterful factions.

Neutral & Unaffiliated Characters

Not everyone picks a side.
Some characters are civilians, wanderers, droids, traders, musicians, monks, or simply people trying to survive in a galaxy shaped by larger forces.
These figures add life to dioramas — cantinas, marketplaces, starports, and background scenes that feel lived‑in and real.

Galactic Republic

The Republic represents the final days of democracy before the rise of the Empire.
Clone troopers, senators, Jedi‑aligned forces, and military commanders define this era.
In TVC, the Republic is a blend of Clone Wars dynamism and prequel‑era elegance — a faction full of colour, variety, and iconic designs.

Force‑Aligned Orders

Jedi Order

For thousands of years, the Jedi served as peacekeepers, philosophers, warriors, and guardians of the Republic.
Their robes, armour, lightsabers, and species diversity make them one of the most visually varied groups in the saga.
In TVC, the Jedi Order spans eras — from ancient traditions to Clone Wars generals to the final survivors of Order 66.

Sith Order

The Sith are few, but their influence is vast.
From ancient traditions to modern tyrants, the Sith represent ambition, power, and the dark side’s seductive pull.
In TVC, the Sith appear through iconic villains, apprentices, inquisitors, and dark‑side warriors whose designs are instantly recognisable.

Separatist & Post‑Imperial Powers

Separatist Alliance

The Confederacy of Independent Systems fought the Republic with droid armies, corporate militias, and charismatic leaders.
Their aesthetic is mechanical, angular, and industrial — a perfect contrast to the organic designs of the Republic.
TVC captures this through battle droids, tactical commanders, and the political figures who shaped the Clone Wars.

First Order

A militarised successor to the Empire, the First Order blends familiar Imperial iconography with sharper, more aggressive designs.
Troopers, officers, pilots, and dark‑side enforcers form a faction that feels both nostalgic and newly threatening.
In TVC, the First Order anchors sequel‑era displays with a modernised take on classic silhouettes.

New Republic

Born from the ashes of the Empire, the New Republic attempted to restore peace and democracy — with mixed success.
Its presence in TVC is small but meaningful, represented through pilots, officers, and characters tied to the early post‑Endor era.
As the Mandoverse expands, so too does the potential for this faction.
