The Fastest Character in Star Wars History

Let me tell you something—there’s one non-Force user who’s actually faster than a Jedi using Force speed. Sounds unbelievable, right? But it really happened, and I’m about to break down exactly who this character is and how it went down.

Agent Kallus – The Fastest Man in the Galaxy

The moment I want to talk about comes from Star Wars: Rebels Season 1, Episode 3, “Droids in Distress.” I won’t go into the full episode, but let’s jump straight to the scene where we witness the fastest man in the Star Wars universe.

During the battle between Zeb and Agent Kallus, Kallus challenges Zeb to a Lasat honor duel, wielding a stolen bo-rifle—one he took from a Lasan High Honor Guard he personally killed. To provoke Zeb even further, Kallus taunts him, claiming he ordered the T-7 rifles to be used in the pacification of Lasan. Furious, Zeb accepts the challenge, and the fight begins.

But here’s the moment I really want to highlight—when Zeb nearly wins. He knocks Kallus to the ground, seemingly sealing his victory. Then, out of nowhere, Kallus pulls off an insane counterattack, spinning around at incredible speed to escape his corner.

It happens so fast that you might miss it, but don’t worry—I’ve got the video below so you can see exactly what I’m talking about.

You can hit that replay button as many times as you want, but yes—it’s real, and it’s so ridiculous that it’s hilarious.

The fight itself was already wild, but it didn’t stop there. A dedicated fan took things even further, actually calculating how fast Kallus was moving during that insane spin—and they posted their findings on Reddit.

I’ll drop the link here so you can check out their full breakdown, but here’s the direct result from their calculations:

According to their work, Kallus was moving at 69.75m/s² (about 7.1 Gs)—or, in simpler terms, he went from 0 to 60 mph in just 0.39 seconds.

Yeah, you read that right. Kallus wasn’t just fast—he was breaking physics.

Kallus Was One of the Most Skilled and Dangerous Imperial Officers Before His Redemption

We don’t talk enough about how dangerous Kallus actually was before he switched sides. He wasn’t just another Imperial officer barking orders—he was an ISB agent, and that meant he was trained to hunt, eliminate, and dismantle enemies of the Empire before they even had a chance to fight back. This guy was on the front lines of counterinsurgency, espionage, and brutal military operations, and he wasn’t just good at it—he excelled.

I mean, look at his record. He was directly involved in the near-extermination of the Lasat, and he didn’t just sign off on it—he played an active role. The Empire deployed those devastating T-7 ion disruptors, and Kallus stood right there as an enforcer of that destruction. He even kept a bo-rifle as a trophy from a Lasat warrior he personally killed. That’s the level of brutality we’re talking about.

And we can’t ignore his combat skills. Most Imperial officers let their stormtroopers do the dirty work, but not Kallus. He fought on the front lines, took on rebels himself, and actually held his own against Zeb—a Lasat—who had the raw strength to throw stormtroopers like ragdolls. That fight wasn’t just a fluke either. Kallus was trained in hand-to-hand combat, weapons handling, and survival tactics. He wasn’t the kind of officer you could just outgun or outrun—he studied his enemies, adapted to their tactics, and set up traps that nearly wiped out the Ghost crew multiple times.

That’s why his redemption hits so hard. Kallus was one of the Empire’s best, a guy who carried out missions that changed the course of history. And yet, he still realized he was fighting for the wrong side. That shift—from one of the Rebellion’s most dangerous enemies to one of its most valuable allies—is what makes his story so powerful.
