10 Minor Characters Who Would've Broken Star Wars

10. Mas Amedda

Mas Amedda is possibly better known as that slimy blue guy that's always standing beside Palpatine, occasionally throwing in a little exposition, but mostly just looking a little sinister as he lurks in the background.

Mas Amedda's importance might be fairly self-explanatory. The Chagrian politician was the Senator/Chancellor/Emperor's right hand man from the very beginning of the Skywalker saga, serving and advising him faithfully until the aftermath of The Return of the Jedi, when he signed the Galactic Accord, dissolving the Empire and allowing the New Republic to rise.

Exactly how could he have broken Star Wars, you might ask?

Well, he was the one who suggested giving Chancellor Palpatine emergency powers during the Separatist Crisis, which, while most likely at Palpatine's behest, went a long way towards securing the future Emperor's power in the last days of the Galactic Republic.

There's also the matter of Amedda's actions after the fall of the Empire to consider: reputation as a spineless bureaucrat aside, if Amedda had attempted to rally the Empire's remaining scattered forces instead of surrendering to the Rebels, the sequels might have looked a whole lot different.
