The Hottest Star Wars Characters Are Smugglers


These 16 irresistible rogues and scoundrels make the galaxy a much more interesting, sexier place.

Star Wars is obsessed with the light-vs.-dark duality of the Jedi, but the franchise’s most interesting characters tend to be those who operate on the moral fringe, pulling off schemes and heists amid escalating striation, Galactic Empire fascism, and worsening conflict. A quick note about our methodology: We started with a list of dozens that we made more manageable by drawing a line between smugglers and crime lords (so no Hutts) and excluding animated characters, so our apologies if you are very into, say, Jolee Bindo or Trace and Rafa Martez and are disappointed not to see them here. But in the film’s internal vacuum, his smuggler is a perfectly serviceable sneering, flirting, posturing figure; he clearly lacks the gravitas of elder Lando, but his unbroken eye contact when he tells Han “Everything you heard about me is true” is a great little moment.
