Humanity's Influence in the Galactic Republic

Have you ever wondered if Star Wars could have existed without the Galactic Republic? Nah, man! It was so hyped up how they got all these planets and peeps together under human leadership. But, yeah, things just went haywire from there. The Sith and Clone Army came in and bam! out comes the Empire. 

But even when the Empire ruled the universe, the humans still got to hold vital roles in terms of military leadership and such. And, of course, we can’t forget the likes of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. They were out there grinding, fighting tooth and nail, so the Republic’s values could stay intact despite the Empire trying to erase it completely. That’s dedication to the cause for ya!

The Dark Side's Enablers: Humans in the Sith Order

Have you met the Sith? They’re like the ultimate bad guys in Star Wars! They’re all about the dark side of the Force and basically do whatever they want to gain power and control. The galaxy has seen its fair share of chaos because of these guys, but they’ve also given us some super cool and famous characters like Darth Vader, Darth Maul, and Kylo Ren! 

Believe it or not, anyone can be a Sith and work their way up the Sith hierarchy. But fair warning, they’re not exactly the friendliest bunch out there and would probably put a lightsaber through your back. Even so, there’s no denying their impact on the Star Wars universe. So, whether you love them or hate them, you gotta admit – the Sith are pretty unforgettable and kinda cool too!

Guiding the Force: Humanity's Role in the Jedi Order

Did you know that the Jedi Order is like the ultimate superhero squad in the Star Wars universe? These guys have an awesome connection to the force, and they’re all about keeping the galaxy sizzle-iciously safe! Humans have totally rocked it in the Jedi Order, too – shoutout to Anakin and Luke for being total legends. 

They’ve led the Jedi Council and help brainstorm awesome ideas, which totally proves that human jedi are straight-up spectacular. Sure, there have been a few times when some jedi humans were *ahem* not so great, but let’s focus on the positive: the order is all about spreading good vibes and crazy love across the galaxy. They dig things like justice, peace, and helping others, so they’re like the ultimate friend group. I mean, I’m feeling super inspired right now, are you?”

Humans Thrive in Mandalore

Humans have totally rocked Mandalorian society too! seriously, they’ve been instrumental in bringing all sorts of awesome technology and knowledge to Mandalore. Even during the Clone Wars, a human leader named Satine Kryze helped set up the New Mandalorian government. 

And get this, humans even became tough warriors as bounty hunters and mercenaries! Can you believe it? After his dad passed away, Boba Fett, one of the most famous bounty hunters ever, was even adopted by Mandalorian warriors. It’s so cool how humans and Mandalorians have mixed innovative ideas with awesome tradition to make something completely out-of-this-world! This is the way!

Hey there! Can we take a moment to appreciate how awesome Star Wars is? From diverse cultures and races to even different species…they’ve got it all! The series has always defied expectations, with characters like Lando Calrissian and Princess Leia breaking barriers for people of color and women. 

And let’s not forget the Jar Jar Binks – he may have caught some heat, but he’s still an iconic symbol of diversity in the Star Wars universe. And with the new trilogy, we got to see badass heroines and a cast full of talented actors like John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, and Daisy Ridley. We’re so pumped to see how Disney+ takes Star Wars to the next level in embracing diversity – this sci-fi franchise is here to stay!
