Idle is the animation used when a character or vehicle is not moving. The animation you see when you select a character to play is an idle animation.

"Yes to ObiWan u listen" (Obi-Wan=Teancum in this quote from Ep5)

Think of the word idle, which means to stand around doing about nothing (My definition. I dont go to the dictionary to give a great def.)

Some games have several Idle animations, if im not mistaken. The main one lets the character breathe, if he stands around, and some others make him do stupid things like juggling with his lightsaber if you dont touch the keyboard for some time. Or there are Idle-Sounds, which make the character say random stuff.
