* Expanded Universe Characters *

This is a list of all the characters in the various books that don't appear at all in the movies. There's quite a list, so you may want to make sure you have a lot of time to read. Anything you can add is much appreciated, especially characters I've forgotten (or haven't read about yet). Most of the characters in the books after ROTJ should be here, the main ones at least, but I haven't read many of the New Jedi Order or any of the Young or Junior Jedi Knights, so someone please send me characters from those.
