8. LANDO CALRISSIAN
Lando is not a typical hero, on the contrary. His origins are not veiled in twisted mysteries and his behavior is more of an adventurer. His role in saving the galaxy becomes major after becoming the administrator of Cloud City. He is forced by Darth Vader to betray Han Solo, but he will also help rescuing him from crime lord Jabba the Hutt.
He is the type of guy that looks after himself first, yet he has defended the Rebel Alliance selflessly. His acts of heroism include living at Jabba the Hutt’s palace where he was almost eaten by hungry Sarlaac monster, and destroying Death Star with a killing blow from his old ship.
George Lucas had many versions of Lando. At some point, Lucas imagined Lando as a relic from Star Clones who raised from a planet with identical clones. In the end, Lucas decided at one version of Lucas Carlissian.
