Never Seen Star Wars

Question

_{This puzzle is part of the Monthly Topic Challenge #1: Restricted Title: xkcd 1xxx}

Shortly after Cueball dodged a bullet, he receives an e-mail from Megan. To his misfortune, the topic is once again Star Wars...

Hi Cueball!

I know you love puzzles and I just got word you're also a Star Wars fan, so guess what I've prepared for you ;) This (imprecise) lightsaber clock hides the name of my favorite Star Wars character. Tell me who it is so I know you're not lying about all this :P

Cueball does not want to face the horrible consequences of admitting he has never seen Star Wars. Can you help him solve Megan's puzzle and make him look like a Star Wars fan

_{It might not look like it, but there are 3 steps in this puzzle, so partial answers are welcome.}

Answer 1

Megan's favourite character is

Yoda

The first thing to notice is that

Like SQLnoob wrote in the comments, the numbers 1, 3, 6, 10 and 12 have been replaced by U, I, G, M and R in the Aurebesh script. Reordering these gives IMGUR and reordering the replaced numbers in the same way gives 3, 10, 6, 1, 12.

Now, there is also x2 written besides the 12 so taking A1Z26 for the numbers 3, 10, 6, 1, 24 gives CJFAX.

Taking them lowercase brings us to the following imgur link depicting the galaxy map of Star Wars.


Now, we can overlay the clock with the center of the deep core of the galaxy like this


Next, we should look for the planets that the clock hands are pointing at. Furthermore, we should look for planets in the same colored regions as the clock hands.

The hand pointing north points at Ord Mantell inside the Mid Rim. The hand pointing south east points at Denon inside the Colonies and Ando inside the Mid Rim. The hand pointing south points at Yag'Dhul inside the Colonies.

Taking the first letters of these planets and putting them in the correct order gives
YODA
