Unconventional, charming, and precocious, ENFPs make for some of the most compelling characters in fiction. They draw us into their stories much like they draw the characters around them into the causes they’re passionate about. There are several ENFPs in Star Wars, and Ezra Bridger is one of them. This young man from Lothal starts […]
The son of two heroes of the Rebellion, Poe Dameron followed in his mother’s footsteps by becoming a pilot in the New Republic Defense Fleet. He rose to the rank of commander before he became frustrated with the Republic’s unwillingness to take action against the First Order and, at General Organa’s invitation, joined the Resistance. […]
I wasn’t really sure how to type Rose, even after watching The Last Jedi three times. I knew she was an Introvert and possibly a Feeling type, but I didn’t settle on ISFJ until after reading Cobalt Squadron, which takes place immediately before TLJ. I’m so glad that Rose appears in a novel as well as in the […]
Luke Skywalker is one of Star Wars’ most important and beloved characters. So it’s no wonder that fans are heavily invested in seeing him portrayed in a way that rings true for his personality. But what is the “right way” to portray Luke’s personality? Or, to put it in a way that reflects this blog’s theme, […]
When we first saw trailers for The Force Awakens, I was hoping the new character Rey would be an NT type. There are so few women of those types in fiction, especially as “light side” characters. It turns out, though, that she’s an amazing example of the ISTJ personality type, which is also one you don’t see […]
I’ve liked Finn since my first viewing of The Force Awakens. After a quick Google search of how other people are typing him, it looks like most think he’s an FP type. From my perspective, though, he seems very much like an ISFJ. I get where they’re coming from typing him as an FP (since these types […]
Hera is a fantastic example of an xSFJ type. She has that Si-Fe blend of prioritizing other people’s good while working to maintain social order. As an extrovert, she lives in the outer world. For her, this involves an active interest in helping other people. She teaches Ezra, “if all you do is fight for your own […]
Quinlan Vos only shows up in one episode of The Clone Wars, but he made quite an impression on fans (including me). In that brief appearance he seemed like an ESTP and (for me at least) reading Dark Disciple by Christie Golden cleared away any doubts about his type within the first few chapters. Kinetic Skills Even when […]
I’d intended to start with a generic Jedi costume for my first Star Wars sewing project. But ever since The Phantom Menace came out when I was 10 years old there’s been once dress that I desperately wanted hanging in my closet. Isn’t it beautiful! It’s got this Middle Eastern lady/Medieval monk style going on with gorgeous […]
I really like all the new characters in the latest Star Wars trilogy, but was surprised to find Kylo Ren the most compelling. One of the main reasons has to do with his personality type. Many MBTI fans will argue that NF types don’t make good villains — that they’re too in-touch with other people […]
