(#14) BoShek
What if Obi-Wan had never met Han Solo? What if Luke had to face the Imperial army without the galaxy's best-looking smuggler? Luckily, you don't have to answer these questions. Who can you thank for that? BoShek, the man who introduced Obi-Wan Kenobi and Chewbacca inside the Cantina in the first place.
Sometimes greatness comes down to knowing your limits, and BoShek knew that if he were the one to take Obi-Wan and co., the film would have been a lot shorter. Luckily, he was able to put his ego aside and recommend the right Wookiee for the job.

(#16) Boss Nass
- Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Star Wars
When you're the leader of a kingdom, you do what's right for your people. So, when the queen of the overworld comes to you and asks you to join her people in their fight against an invading army, you have a lot to consider. Is it worth it to put your people's lives on the line to do what's right?
With that said, it didn't take much for Boss Nass to agree to step out of the water and lead his people in the protection of a different nation. Would the fight have eventually come to the Gungans? Sure, most likely, but that doesn't take anything away from Boss Nass having the foresight to enter the battle before his people were threatened - and turn the tide of the invasion, to boot.

(#4) Paige Tico
Paige Tico is a key member of Captain Poe's strike against the First Order at the beginning of The Last Jedi. She pilots one of the bomber ships meant to take out the First Order Dreadnought. Sadly, the First Order makes quick work of the rest of the ships, leaving her as the only bomber with an intact payload.
As she reaches the bombing zone, she realizes her payload won't drop. She spends her final moments in a tense situation, setting off her ship's payload and ultimately sacrificing her life. While Rose remembers her for her bravery, the mission is ultimately deemed something of an insubordination, and Paige is never properly rewarded posthumously for her final victory.

(#1) Corde
Early on in Attack of the Clones, there's an assassination attempt on the life of Padme Amidala, the former queen and current senator of Naboo. Moments later, the film reassures fans that it wasn't really Padme that perished. It was just Corde, her body double!
Corde is a hero for putting herself on the line for Amidala. Standing in for a woman so an assassination attempt will hit you instead of her is a pretty terrible job, and Corde doesn't get the recognition she deserves. If something had happened to Padme instead of Corde, we never would have gotten the galaxy's most beloved twins.

(#13) Mon Mothma
Within the Star Wars universe, Mon Mothma is far from an unsung hero. She led the Rebellion and then was the first leader of the New Republic. It's hard to get more "sung" than that. Outside of the fictional narrative, though? A household name she is not.
In a lot of ways, it's odd she isn't better known. Fewer people know her name than Admiral "It's A Trap!" Ackbar. She may not be the flashy hero in the middle of the battlefield, but she led the Rebellion to victory. #MonMothmaSpinOffMovie! Less lightsaber battles, more paperwork! The power of public service!

(#5) Owen Lars
- Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars
If knowledge of Luke Skywalker's existence got out into the wrong hands, the scariest and most powerful people in the galaxy would show up on the Lars's doorstep to forcibly take him. With that in mind, Owen and Beru still readily agreed to adopt him. Raising a kid is hard under any circumstances, let alone when that kid is the spawn of the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Owen and Beru were simply good people. Sure, Owen wanted Luke to stay and help with the farm a little longer than Luke wanted to, but that's just part of being a good dad! Sometimes you have to put your foot down. A growing boy can't spend all his time picking out power converters at his favorite spaceports.
Ultimately, Owen and Beru lost their lives as casualties of the galactic civil war. Surprisingly, it wasn't for their involvement with Luke, but instead for unknowingly harboring R2-D2 and C-3PO. They were just decent folks caught up in a galactic conflict, never once questioning their decisions to do what's right.
