Jason Statham (/ˈsteɪθəm/ STAY-thəm; born 26 July 1967) is an English actor and producer. He is known for portraying tough, gritty, or violent characters in various action thriller films and has been credited for leading the resurgence of action films during the 2000s and 2010s. By 2017, his films had grossed over £1.1 billion ($1.5 billion), making him one of the industry's most bankable stars. While working at local market stalls, Statham began practising Chinese martial arts, kickboxing, and karate recreationally in his youth. An avid footballer and diver, he was a member of Britain's national diving team and competed for England in the 1990 Commonwealth Games. Shortly after, he was asked to model for French Connection, Tommy Hilfiger, and Levi's in various advertising campaigns. Statham's history of working at market stalls inspired his casting in the Guy Ritchie crime films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000). Both films were commercial hits, and they helped catapult Statham to stardom. He played supporting roles in the American action films Turn It Up (2000), Ghosts of Mars and The One (2001). From 2002 to 2008, he played the title role in the first three films in the Transporter film series (2002–2008), which solidified his status as an action star. In 2003, he appeared in the ensemble heist action film The Italian Job. He went on to play leading roles in the commercially successful films Crank (2006), The Bank Job (2008), The Mechanic (2011), Homefront (2013), Mechanic: Resurrection (2016), The Meg (2018), Wrath of Man (2021), Meg 2: The Trench (2023), and The Beekeeper (2024). Statham has also starred as Lee Christmas in the ensemble action film series The Expendables (2010–2023) and as Deckard Shaw in the Fast & Furious franchise (2013–2023), including the spin-off Hobbs & Shaw (2019), which he co-produced. His voice acting work includes the documentaries Thai Boxing: A Fighting Chance (2002), Truth in 24 (2008) and its 2012 sequel, and the animated film Gnomeo & Juliet (2011).

In an alternate universe where Anakin Skywalker left Mustafar unscathed and killed Obi-Wan Kenobi on the high ground, the new Sith Lord managed to save Padme Amidala from death and successfully converted her to the side of The Galactic Empire, while he continues to serve Darth Sidious up until ten years after Order 66, where Darth Vader secretly murders his Master in cold blood and takes the throne for himself, the now Empress Amidala, and their Dark Side children, Luke and Leia Skywalker. However, around seven years after Emperor Vader claimed the galaxy, a new threat begins to arrise in the form of a secret Sith Apprentice of his named Galen Marek, codenamed "Starkiller", who believes his Master is favoring Luke and Leia over him and has assembled an army of Vader's Emperor's Hands and Inquisitors to overthrow the Skywalker family. Now, a new Sith Civil War has broken out inside the very core of The Galactic Empire, as Emperor Vader and his family have to stop this unrest before it gets any worse.
