Mandalorians are a culture of humans from the planet Mandalore with strong warrior traditions. Most of them wear armor and helmets, the strongest ones made from beskar, a blaster-resistant steel that is originally from Mandalore. The Mandalorian culture was carried on by humans from Mandalore around the galaxy. The name of their home planet, "Mandalore", is the same as the title given to their leader. The Mandalorians are also associated with the Darksaber, a black-bladed lightsaber built by Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian Jedi, which has since become a symbol of power for the Mandalorian people and is passed from a leader to the next.

The Galactic Republic is a democractic government, overseen by a Galactic Senate, that governed most of the known galaxy for thousands of years. With the help of the Jedi Order, it maintained intergalactic peace, but during its last years, it became highly corrupt, causing numerous planets and systems to abandon the Republic and form the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The ensuing conflict between the two factions became known as the Clone Wars, which Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious and the mastermind behind the war, took advantage of to manipulate the Republic's Senators and citizens into supporting his plans for the government's reorganization into the Galactic Empire for the purpose of intergalactic "peace". The Republic serves as the protagonist faction of the prequel trilogy, which depicts its downfall and conversion into the Empire.

Clone troopers were the soldiers of the Galactic Republic's army during the Clone Wars. Created from Jango Fett's DNA, they were genetically modified to have accelerated growth and be predisposed toward unquestioning obedience to the chain of command, including being outfitted with mind-controlling biochips, which were put to use during Order 66, when the clone troopers turned on and tried to kill their Jedi Generals.

The Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS) is an organization of multiple planets and systems formerly part of the Galactic Republic, who decided to secess after becoming annoyed with the corruption and injustice within the Galactic Senate. Formed by Count Dooku under the orders of his master, Darth Sidious, it is the main antagonistic faction of the prequel trilogy. Most of the planets that made up the Confederacy attempted to earn their freedom by force, engaging in the three year-long Clone Wars with the Republic using an army of battle droids. Once Sidious achieved his goal of scaring the people of the Republic into supporting his plans for the formation of a Galactic Empire, he ended the Clone Wars by having his new apprentice, Darth Vader, kill the Separatist Council leaders. The remaining systems of the Confederacy were subsequently reabsorbed into the newly formed Empire.

The Rebel Alliance is an organization of multiple planets and systems that oppose the rule of the Galactic Empire, with which it engages in the five year-long Galactic Civil War. It serves as the protagonist faction of the original trilogy. The Partisans are a faction or rebels led by Saw Gerrera known for their extreme methods, who have distanced themselves from the rest of the Alliance. Rogue One is a squad of Rebel soldiers formed in the film of the same name that embarked on a suicide mission to steal the Death Star's schematics.

The First Galactic Empire is an autocracy formed by Emperor Palpatine at the end of the Clone Wars, replacing the old Galactic Republic. Palpatine's rise to power and manipulation of the Galactic Senate into supporting his plans for the formation of an empire and extermination of the Jedi Order with the purpose of intergalactic "peace" are depicted in the prequel trilogy. In the original trilogy, the Empire serves as the main antagonistic faction. At its peak, the Empire sprawled most of the known Star Wars galaxy. The Empire was eventually defeated by the Rebel Alliance and collapsed, but some remnants continued to exist for 30 years and reunited to form the First Order.

The stormtroopers are the elite, faceless shock troops serving the Empire's military. Originally the clone troopers of the Republic's army, over time they became mostly human recruits.

The Resistance is a military organization founded and led by Leia Organa, and the successor of the Rebel Alliance. It fought against the First Order to defend the New Republic and maintain peace in the galaxy, 30 years after the conclusion of the Galactic Civil War. It is the protagonist faction of the sequel trilogy.

The New Republic is a democractic government established in the aftermath of the Galactic Empire's defeat. Formed from the Rebel Alliance and meant to be a restoration of the old Galactic Republic, it governed most of the known galaxy, until it fell after the First Order destroyed its capital, the Hosnian Prime system. The New Republic is only briefly featured in the sequel trilogy, but has a more prominent presence in related works.

The First Order is an autocratic military dictatorship and the successor of the Galactic Empire, formed from its remnants. Its main goal is to overthrow the New Republic and destroy the Resistance and Luke Skywalker, the last Jedi. It is the central antagonistic faction of the sequel trilogy. Ruled by Supreme Leader Snoke, a Force-sensitive being created by the resurrected Emperor Palpatine to act as his puppet ruler, the First Order succeeded in destroying the New Republic and conquering much of the known galaxy, especially during Kylo Ren's reign, who killed Snoke and became the next Supreme Leader. Near the end of its one-year-long war with the Resistance, it allied itself with the Sith Eternal, a secret cult of Sith loyalists led by Palpatine on Exegol, though both were ultimately defeated by the remains of the Resistance and the civilians of the galaxy, who finally gathered the courage to rise against their oppressors.

Much like the Empire before it, the First Order uses stormtroopers as its main military. Most stormtroopers are children who had been abducted from their homes and brainwashed into serving the First Order.
