In the OT Leia comes across as the leader, then you find out  Mon Mothma is the leader. In the old EU she become the first leader of the New Republic, then Leia and when the EU ended the main protagonist was was female, the main galactic villain was female, and the source of all evil was female. The standout character of the last books was also female.  3 most popular characters outside the movies are probably Thrawn, Mara Jade and Ahsako Tano.  To be fair it's easier to develop characters in novels,even the OT would seem rushed in some ways but you only have two hours or so in a movie so a simple line of exposition can be used here and there.  You don't really need back stories for characters where it's implied by their position. Mon Mothma is the rebel leader she must have some skills related to it, Jedi Knights you would assume they would know the business end of a lightsaber. Fett stands up to Vader, he's a badass very simple it works well in the movie format. ANH established Vader as a villain, ESB made him a badass.</blockquote>
