Slingshot is an uncorked literal ball of cackling mayhem – a truly joyful heel for the Arena, and one you can gladly cheer for instead of boo. Driver and vehicle are nearly inseparable: Dizzy doesn't feel right in the world without his droideka by his side.

The strutting, crowing, laser-blasting proof that the Empire is eternal and will return. Sentinel is the Hunter who the audience loves to hate.

Grozz is a dual-wielding, furious engine of rampaging Wookiee power. A former professional huttballer from Kashyyyk who has become accustomed to the adulation of the masses. He’s a star, and he knows it. Large even for a Wookiee, with his two weapons - ripped from the shoulders of an unfortunate KX droid who got in his way - Grozz is a terrifying presence in the Arena. Stay on his good side and he’ll be your best friend, but get on his bad side and you can see what happens...

Imara Vex’s reputation is already top-notch: she’s the real deal. This professional bounty hunter cuts a striking and intimidating figure in her signature mask. Using the show as a side gig to showcase her talents to prospective clients, Vex's personal and social life is a deliberately-woven mystery. She refuses to talk about herself and doesn't let people in. In her line of work, attachments can complicate things — you never know what or who your next job might be: the less you know about someone personally, the less objection you might have to doing what's necessary. And the less they know about you, the less they can use against you. That's Imara's strict and bold bottom line.
