Rey from the new Star Wars trilogy is also used in crossovers. Her self - taught Force abilities and determination can lead to interesting interactions. Kylo Ren is often in crossover fictions as well. His conflicted nature between the light and dark side can be explored further when put in different fictional settings, and his lightsaber skills are also a draw for crossovers.
Darth Vader is often a main character. His menacing presence and complex character make him a favorite to explore further in fanfiction. Writers can delve into his inner thoughts and his relationship with the Emperor.
Clone troopers are often main characters. Since Umbara was a significant location in their story arcs, fanfiction might focus on their experiences, like Captain Rex leading his troops through the dangerous terrain and battles on Umbara.
Jedi are often main characters. Jedi like Obi - Wan Kenobi or Yoda might be the focus as they deal with the aftermath of Order 66. Also, clone troopers are common. Some fanfictions might feature a particular clone who has a change of heart during Order 66.
Darth Vader is another main character. His menacing presence and his fall from grace as Anakin Skywalker are important aspects of the Star Wars lore. In the '5 minute star wars stories', his battles and his relationship with the Emperor might be told.
The clones are often main characters. They are the ones who execute Order 65, so fanfictions explore their motives and feelings. Some clones might be remorseful, while others are just following orders blindly.
Han Solo and Venom could be main characters. Han might initially see Venom as just another dangerous creature to avoid or make money from. But as the story progresses, they could end up teaming up against a common enemy, like the Hutts who might want to use Venom's power for their own evil purposes. And Chewbacca could also be involved, adding his strength and loyalty to the mix.
A natural choice for a main character could be Spartacus himself. Transplanted into the Star Wars universe, he could be a freedom fighter against the Empire. He could inspire the downtrodden species in the galaxy with his unwavering will for freedom. Another could be Anakin Skywalker. If he were to meet Spartacus, he might learn different perspectives on leadership and freedom. Spartacus could show Anakin that true power comes from the people, not from the Sith Lords.
Rey is also a central figure. Her origin story could be rewritten in different ways. Some fanfictions might explore the idea that she has a more direct connection to the Skywalker family or other important Star Wars lineages, rather than the somewhat ambiguous origin in the original TLJ.
Obviously, Surik herself is the central character. She is the focus of these stories.
Some fanfictions in 'Brothers in Arms Star Wars' focus on new, original characters. For example, a young Jedi trainee and a smuggler who cross paths. The Jedi trainee is on a quest to find a lost Jedi artifact, and the smuggler has information about its whereabouts. As they journey together, they become brothers in arms, facing pirates, Sith assassins, and other perils.
