Star Wars: 25 most empowering female characters of all-time

15. L3-37

In Solo: A Star Wars Story, the droid L3-37 was one of the best parts of the movie. She spoke her mind and made those around her uncomfortable. Who doesn’t love that?

L3-37 also had an amazing bond with Lando Calrissian. They were more than friends, more like family though she loved to push his buttons on a more intimate bond.

What sets L3-37 apart though was – despite being a droid – was her ability to feel. She didn’t just feel love for Lando, but also empathy for others. When the crew went to Kessel, she had a secondary goal of saving the droids and leading a rebellion against the slavers.

Unfortunately, the rebellion also led to her death. But L3-37 lives on becoming one with the Millennium Falcon, which became its own character throughout the Star Wars saga. Its temperamental attitude doesn’t occur without the fusion of L3-37.

However, the tough part about the droid becoming one with the Falcon is that it wasn’t what it wanted. In the Solo novelization, it was angry and upset about being held captive in another form.

L3-37 is a hero, fighting for what she deemed as good. She was one of the few free droids and let everyone know that she made the choices.
