The world of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and the world of Dungeons & Dragons are both fantastical lands where everything seems possible and the sky is the limit. The characters in The Rise of Skywalker are dynamic, unique, and interesting individuals who all bring their own distinct strengths and weaknesses to the war between dark and light, and without any one of them the entire story of Star Wars and the story of the galaxy as we know it may be completely different.
Much like the characters in The Rise of Skywalker, the character classes in D&D are all dimensional and complex character archetypes that bring different qualities and weaknesses to the table. So if the characters in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker found themselves thrust into the world of D&D, which character class would they all fall into?
10 Chewbacca - Fighter
Chewbacca is a much more dynamic character and dynamic warrior than he might first appear, but the reality of his formidable size and well developed fighting abilities is that he is truly a fighter more than anything else.
The Dungeons & Dragons Fighter class is obviously one that focuses on interpersonal combat more than all else, but they don't completely rely on their own brute strength to win their fights. They like to develop their skills in combat and beef up their abilities in any way that they can, and they never go into any fight assuming that they're going to win, even if they're masterful brawlers.
9 Lando Calrissian - Bard
Lando Calrissian has proven himself over and over again to be a competent fighter and a pretty great leader too, but what stands out about his character is that he can talk himself into or out of nearly any situation he can find himself stuck in.
Lando is mischievous but has a great heart, and he uses his words as a means of obfuscating his own intentions until the time is right and he can strike. Lando is a leader because he knows how to speak to people, which makes him an obvious Bard in the world of Dungeons & Dragons.
8 Sheev Palpatine - Warlock
Of course Palpatine would be a Warlock class in Dungeons & Dragons. Warlocks are magic wielders who have gained their power through some dark, Faustian bargain, and that is a dead on description of Sheev Palpatine and his seemingly endless grip on the Force of the entire galaxy.
Palpatine goes far beyond what any sane person would in order to explore his own power and the power of the dark side, and the price that he or anyone else has to pay in order for him to push the limits like that is of no consequence to him.
7 Rose Tico - Cleric
Rose Tico is a pretty unique character in the sequel trilogy, because while some of the characters find themselves pulled into this war against their own will, after Rose loses her sister she is on a one person mission to get some kind of justice for it.
Rose never loses sight of the benevolent mission that she's on, but what makes her different from many of her compatriots is that she is not willing to sacrifice the people that she loves now for the sake of revenge. Rose's inner strength and personal moral code make her seem like an ideal Cleric.
6 Luke Skywalker - Monk
Luke Skywalker is pretty clearly the D&D equivalent of the Monk class of character, because in many ways he is the last vestige of a nearly extinct religion and order more commonly known as the Jedi. Luke began his journey as a hopeful young man, but the years were not particularly kind to him, and he learned lessons about the Force and it's limitations in ways that no person really should.
Luke then devoted the rest of his years to an isolated life, both learning what he needed to learn about the Jedi and unfortunately attempting to protect the world from him by sequestering himself away from it.
5 Poe Dameron - Rogue
Poe Dameron is one of the strongest and most useful pilots in the entire Resistance, and it's likely that the light side of the force would not have been victorious over the dark had it not been for Poe.
And while he definitely knows how to make friends and has many people he genuinely cares about and loves, he is not someone who plays that well with others. He can be underhanded and sneaky when he needs to be, and he's not very good at following anyone else's rules. For those reasons, he would best be suited to the Rogue class in D&D.
4 Finn - Paladin
It's actually a little ironic that Finn would be a Paladin in the world of Dungeons & Dragons, because Paladins are characters who are warriors bound to a sacred oath, and in order to become the warrior for the light that Finn became he had to break his lifelong oath to the First Order.
But that goes to show what a strong constitution Finn naturally has, because despite being indoctrinated into the worst of the worst, he couldn't conceal the good person that he was inside. And once he met Rey and Poe, he was more than happy to lay his life on the line in the fight against the First Order.
3 General Leia - Druid
Originally Princess Leia didn't display a lot of obvious signs of Force abilities, but her occasional displays of power in the sequel trilogy definitely showed that she is still Anakin Skywalker's daughter.
Leia preferred to wield her power in the world as a leader of the Rebellion, and she went on to become one of the most important people in the endless battle against the dark side. But the fact that Force abilities came so naturally to her make her seem like a Druid class character, someone who may not have developed their skills, but who has an innate connection to the magic of nature.
2 Ben Solo - Wizard
If anything can be said for Kylo Ren/Ben Solo, it's that he has a very deep intellectual understanding of the Force, even if he doesn't wield that knowledge in the best or even most efficient ways.
Ben spent years in the tutelage of Luke Skywalker, one of the greatest Jedi of all time, and then when he turned to the dark side he spent years learning from Supreme Leader Snoke. There likely wasn't a person alive who understood the dark and light sides of the Force as well as Ben did, which is why he is likely a Wizard class of character.
1 Rey - Gryffindor
Even if she didn't know it, Rey was a girl who was drawing on the enormous power of her own bloodline to use the Force more strongly than even those who had spent years learning how to use it.
So Rey truly embodies the ways of the Sorcerer, a Dungeons & Dragons character class that uses their own blood magic in order to make things happen. Luckily for the galaxy, Rey knew how to keep herself away from the dark side, and instead she just used the pure power within her to change the world for the better instead.
