Inspired by the discussion in the most powerful character Nihilus can beat thread.

Which characters in Legends tend to be the most discussed, emulated, etc. in-universe? Not necessarily just by the general population.

Luke, Anakin and Palpatine seem to take the top spots, although we never really get to see how long their legacies are remembered. From a more ancient era, Revan is really heavily cited.

Someone like Vitiate is remembered for shit; out of universe we know it's because he's only recently existed as a character, but I guess it's a nice reinforcement of his failure.

Revan and Malak were household names even during Rebellion era.

I assume the Droma and Kun duo were also infamous.

The Skywalker and Kenobi duo was also known by everyone in the galaxy.

Not sure if Obi Wan is a household name, but Luke obviously is.

But here is a strange thing: few of the younglings need comfort. It is instead the younglings who offer comfort to their elders. Across the Republic--in words or pheromones, in magnetic pulses, tentacle-braids, or mental telepathy -- the message from the younglings is the same: Don't worry. It'll be all right.

Anakin and Obi-Wan will be there any minute.

They say this as though these names can conjure miracles.

Anakin and Obi-Wan. Kenobi and Skywalker. From the beginning of the Clone Wars, the phrase Kenobi and Skywalker has become a single word. They are everywhere. HoloNet features of their operations against the Separatist enemy have made them the most famous Jedi in the galaxy.

Younglings across the galaxy know their names, know everything about them, follow their exploits as though they are sports heroes instead of warriors in a desperate battle to save civilization. Even grown-ups are not immune; it's not uncommon for an exasperated parent to ask, when faced with offspring who have just tried to pull off one of the spectacularly dangerous bits of foolishness that are the stock-in-trade of high-spirited younglings everywhere, So which were you supposed to be, Kenobi or Skywalker?

Kenobi would rather talk than fight, but when there is fighting to be done, few can match him. Skywalker is the master of audacity; his intensity, boldness, and sheer jaw-dropping luck are the perfect complement to Kenobi's deliberate, balanced steadiness. Together, they are a Jedi hammer that has crushed Separatist infestations on scores of worlds.

All the younglings watching the battle in Coruscant's sky know it: when Anakin and Obi-Wan get there, those dirty Seppers are going to wish they'd stayed in bed today.

Revan and Malak, Luke, maybe Vitiate (other Sith maybe being inspired by him.) Among others.

Lolwut. Who besides the Jedi and the Sith knew about Bane?

Oh, Malgus is another one.

I doubt Anakin and Obi-Wan were all that well known decades later. Anakin was probably more remembered as Vader.

Anyway, Palpatine, Luke, and Krayt would likely be the most remembered. Revan and Exar would likely be up there as well.
