(#2) Galen Erso
The Death Star is a beautiful behemoth of destruction, one of the great superweapons in a galaxy of science fiction. With that said, fans have made fun of the Death Star over the years for being nerfed by one well-fired proton torpedo.
It wasn't until Rogue One that audiences learned that the weakness wasn't a bug, but a feature - implanted by scientist Galen Erso. Erso initially worked for the Empire because he believed the project's goal was to create an unlimited energy source that could provide aid to the galaxy. Once he found out he was working on a superweapon, he took his family and fled.
Eventually, the Imperial forces came for him. Instead of serving out the remainder of his life dutifully working for the Empire, he sabotaged their most powerful weapon, leading the Rebellion to their first great victory. Sadly, the galaxy never recognized Galen Erso for this heroic deed.

(#6) Kit Fisto
- Star Wars
Kit Fisto's legacy grew outside of the big screen, much like Boba Fett's did before him. While film audiences only saw him during the attack on Genosha, and for the early part of the attempted arrest of the chancellor, there's something about Kit Fisto that endeared him to a cult following amongst fans.
He received a bit more screen time in The Clone Wars and was featured prominently in an episode where General Grievous axed his former apprentice. But, like the other Jedi Masters in the room, he'll never get his credit for bravely attempting to arrest the most powerful Sith in the galaxy. If that had gone differently, the entire Empire would have been stopped before it started.

(#4) Paige Tico
Paige Tico is a key member of Captain Poe's strike against the First Order at the beginning of The Last Jedi. She pilots one of the bomber ships meant to take out the First Order Dreadnought. Sadly, the First Order makes quick work of the rest of the ships, leaving her as the only bomber with an intact payload.
As she reaches the bombing zone, she realizes her payload won't drop. She spends her final moments in a tense situation, setting off her ship's payload and ultimately sacrificing her life. While Rose remembers her for her bravery, the mission is ultimately deemed something of an insubordination, and Paige is never properly rewarded posthumously for her final victory.

(#1) Corde
Early on in Attack of the Clones, there's an assassination attempt on the life of Padme Amidala, the former queen and current senator of Naboo. Moments later, the film reassures fans that it wasn't really Padme that perished. It was just Corde, her body double!
Corde is a hero for putting herself on the line for Amidala. Standing in for a woman so an assassination attempt will hit you instead of her is a pretty terrible job, and Corde doesn't get the recognition she deserves. If something had happened to Padme instead of Corde, we never would have gotten the galaxy's most beloved twins.

(#14) BoShek
What if Obi-Wan had never met Han Solo? What if Luke had to face the Imperial army without the galaxy's best-looking smuggler? Luckily, you don't have to answer these questions. Who can you thank for that? BoShek, the man who introduced Obi-Wan Kenobi and Chewbacca inside the Cantina in the first place.
Sometimes greatness comes down to knowing your limits, and BoShek knew that if he were the one to take Obi-Wan and co., the film would have been a lot shorter. Luckily, he was able to put his ego aside and recommend the right Wookiee for the job.

(#7) Bail Organa
- Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars
It's not that Bail Organa doesn't get any credit, it's just that he doesn't get enough.
At the end of Revenge of the Sith, all but three people in the galaxy have seemingly lost hope: Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Bail Organa. These three people quickly enact a plan that would give the future heroes of the galaxy a fighting chance against the tyranny of the Empire.
Bail Organa not only agrees to take Leia in, but he also raises her in such a way that she is able to take on the entire Empire through sheer force of will. It's clear he did something right.
But, unlike Yoda and Obi-Wan, you probably won't find him on a T-shirt at Hot Topic, or as a playable character in Battlefront. Even inside of the universe, Leia never mentions him by name, so his sacrifices and deeds seemed to have faded from the public consciousness.
