What is the name of the first Star Wars Funko Pop! figure, released in 2011?

The story behind the answer

The first Star Wars Funko Pop! figure, released in 2011, depicted Darth Vader.

Funko introduced its Star Wars Pop! figures in 2011, beginning with a Darth Vader figure. The stylized vinyl figure used the oversized head, simplified features, and compact body that became characteristic of the Pop! format. Darth Vader was a natural starting character because of his instantly recognizable helmet and central role in the original trilogy.

The Star Wars range later expanded to heroes, villains, droids, creatures, holiday variants, exclusives, and characters from newer films and television series. Collectors may remember early waves differently because retailer-exclusive variants appeared alongside standard releases. The question refers to the first Star Wars character represented in the Pop! line, not the first Funko product ever made. Funko had produced other licensed collectibles before Star Wars joined its Pop! portfolio.
