13 Best Original Characters In Star Wars: The Clone Wars

13. Duchess Satine

After Padme Amidala, Duchess Satine Kryze is the next big female politician on the show. The leader of Mandalore, Satine is a kind and loving leader, and her aversion to the war made her a strong figure on the show.

Though she could be overly stubborn and difficult for the Jedi and the Senate to deal with, her conviction makes her one of the show's best and most compelling creations.

Her biggest role in the show comes in the form of her relationship with Obi-Wan Kenobi. The two share a past and are often at odds about both the war and the fate of Mandalore, and whilst this gives Obi-Wan the opportunity to get a more fulfilling backstory, Satine's role is both affecting and powerful, making her a strong leading lady in her own right and an interesting figure.

Her Season 5 death at the hands of Maul remains one of the show's most devastating and shocking moments, and her absence is the catalyst leading to the series' epic Siege of Mandalore.

Despite her stubbornness, Satine is a character we loved by all, and one all Star Wars fans can only wish more people thought like.
