Remnant Threat characters
From Jalassociatecomics
Most of the characters in the story are from the actual continuity of the Original Trilogy of Star Wars developed by George Lucas. As the story is based but a few years after The Return Of The Jedi, most of the main characters remain. You can view articles on them by clicking on the links on the names of the recognizable characters (they will take you to the Star Wars Wiki.) (The following bios begin after the end of Return Of The Jedi)

Protagonsists
Luke Skywalker
Luke is beginning to recruit young Jedi and is in the process of training his twin sister Leia in the ways of the Force (Read about her later)in the story, he has to investigate mysterious happenings surrounding a rogue Imperial figure, accompanied by the fiesty astromech droid R2D2. As a Jedi Master, the story sees him wielding his lightsaber yet again, although quite reluctantly.
Leia Organa Solo
Leia has honed her Force skills, and is now a Jedi Sub-Consular, being recently promoted to the rank by the New Jedi Council (consisting of Luke.) Apart from being administrative ruler of the New Republic, she also plays the part of warrior-woman in the story, showing her skills in the lightsaber and the quadblaster cannons mounted on the Millenium Falcon.
Han Solo
Han Solo, notorious ex-space pirate and owner of the legendary Millenium Falcon, is now commited to rebuilding the New Republic, and is an invaluable ally. He spearheads the attack on the new threat (in the story) and is also Leia's boyfriend. Han gives up his prievious reservations on the Jedi (and the Force) heavily assisting Luke and the other Jedi with carrying the weight of the Galaxy on their battle-worn shoulders.
Chewbacca
Chewbacca is the Wookiee co-pilot and best friend of Han Solo. He takes a backseat in this paticular story, though still serves a pivotal role commanding the Millenium Falcon without Solo's assistance in an emergency situation in the story. He plays a far bigger role in the second part of the series. Sadly, his bowcaster skill comes not to much use in the first third of the Grand Marshal tripdych.
R2-D2
After many instances of service in plenty of Rebel crafts, R2-D2 is far from retirement, due to the new threat to the safety of the new New Order. He is still the astromech of Luke Skywalker in the story, and is usually quick to comment on any situation with an interjecting "beep beede beep beep beep." He accompanies Luke on an important mission, proving as important as he was before
C3PO
The feisty astromech unit's inseparable companion, the worrywart protocol droid joins Han on the seige against the new threat on board the "Millennium Falcon" (an experience he does not enjoy, this instance being no exception). Expect to see more "Oh my!"s, "Oh dear!"s and other Threepio-isms.
Antagonists
Grand Marshal
A bitter, sordid, original character. Once a personal enemy of Luke Skywalker in his hey-day, his T-16 crashed in Beggar's Canyon, and was believed to be killed. He later joined the Empire, and the topple of the Emperor enabled him to rise through the ranks. In 6 ABY he, with the aid of many a bribed soldier, he declared himself Grand Marshal of the Empire, and started his campaign to overthrow the New Republic, especially since the head of it is...Luke Skywalker.
