A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I remember creating a female Twi'lek Jedi in some of the old LucasArts Jedi games.

LucasArts Jedi something something
KOTOR
Baldur's Gate
Fallout Although these were more like "create-your-own protagonists" rather than "known hero protagonists" that people recognize.

Aside from the classics already mentioned in the thread, Lara, Chell, Samus, Valentine, Redfield, etc. here's a few that come to mind:

Peach in Super Mario 2, the game that feels more like a mushroom trip, than a trip to mushroom kingdom
Aya from Parasite Eve
Chun Li from Street Fighter, also Cammy
Mortal Kombat
Tekken
Soulcalibur
Dead or Alive
Sarah Kerrigan in Starcraft(s), although it's an RTS, so protagonist is a bit loose.
Rayne from BloodRayne, the first video game character to appear in PlayBoy, eh
Ellie from The Last Of Us, damn it's been 10 years already? Is that an old game already? Am I old? Nevermind, don't answer.
Clem from The Walking Dead
Joanna from Perfect Dark

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others.

I believe the default choice in the jedi academy character creator was a female twilek..

Quite possible, I must admit it's been long enough that I don't remember much detail and mix the multiple games in the series.
