For all the Star Wars geeks on here! My favourites are Darth Vader, Darth Maul and Boba Fett. BTW, you can choose characters from all six films. You can, if you want to, explain why you like the characters, but you don't have to.
For me, I like Vader because, well, he's Darth Vader, you don't need any other explanation than that! I like Maul because he's a bloody good fighter, he looks so cool and I love his double-bladed lightsaber. I've always found Boba Fett pretty cool but I'm not quite sure why. He's just cool.
 
Are we limited to the movies? Because if not my favorite character is Exar Kun, who you'd probably like because he was the first person to create a double-bladed saber. He was probably the most powerful sith lord of all time, being a master of lightsaber combat and of the force. As such he was an extremely proud and arrogant character.

If we're just limited to the movies...Palpatine, for pretty much the same reasons. He's so sure of himself that he's cocky, and he's manipulative, pulling all the strings to achieve his goals. In Episode VI where he's taunting Luke, I love those moments. The way he he raises his eyebrows and gives Luke the 'puppy dog' look and says, "Oh, I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive."

And then he smiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiles.
 
Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed forum, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a forumite on a Half-Life 2 forum, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that forum room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Black Mesa Incident, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed forum, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must be banned! Riomhaire rests.
 
Ok, you're not just limited to the films. You can have characters from the novels and comics and whatever else as well.
 
Boba Fett for sure. Too bad he gets barely any show in the films, and then gets a really embarrassing death. Still awesome, though.

I grew to really like Wedge as a character after playing the Rogue Squadron games and reading quite a few of the comics/books, and then when I re-watched the films he became the one character I always use to look out for. His story and character is barely fleshed out in the flicks, so it was interesting to follow him through the films - which isn't alot - and to see him. But I guess I like him more from the things other than the films.
 
Heh, the funny thing about Wedge is he's played be Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor)'s uncle, Denis Lawson!!!
 
HK-47 in "Knights of the Old Republic"

Nuff said, meatbag.


If you mean in terms of the 6 films, I'd have to say Han Solo.
 
Vergere.

Darkside if you like manipulative this is the gal for you.
 
Boba Fett, certainly. In a book he gets saved from the sarlaac by Dengar. Also, HK-47.
 
The only decent movies are SW and TESB the rest of the films are all adverts for toys, Of those two films, Solo was the man in SW, and Fett in the TESB.
 
R2D2


I personally don't watch much star wars to know characters.
 
You have it wrong Kadayi; Episode IV is boring, Empire and Jedi are the two good movies.

Also, since Que brought up Dengar, is there anyone out there who actually LIKES Dengar? Visually, he offends me. I can't stand to look at that bandage-headed fool. It might be balanced if he were an interesting character, but he's just a lackey to Fett that Boba doesn't really need. He's a tag along. A tag along with toilet paper on his head.
 
What the hell, where's the GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN love?

Bearing in mind I loathe Star Wars, I'd say Piett.
 
You can't loathe Star Wars and know Admiral Thrawn. If you loathed Star Wars you wouldn't know anyone from the extended universe...you wouldn't have picked up any of the books. You wouldn't have bothered to READ any of the books; therefore, a part of you must like Star Wars despite how many times you've claimed to hate it on these forums.

You're a phony.

HEY EVERYBODY THIS GUY'S A PHONY! A BIG FAT PHONY!
 
Old Obi-Wan. But that's probably because it was Alec Guinness.

So, Alec Guinness is my favourite Star Wars character.

I'm not wrong, we merely have a difference of opinion. As for RoTJ being good....are you serious? The best imperial troops in the galaxy get their asses handed to them by a bunch of knee high teddy bear primitives, and George is so stuck for a main plot device, he reuses the one from Star Wars (IE destroy the Death Star)...:dozey:
 
Salacious Crumb!

EH-HEHEHEHEHEEEE!
 
The imperial officer #2317831863219 who says "You rebel scum!"

I like how he says that. Stress the "Rebel" while putting force into the "scum!"

And those guys with the black helmets and uniforms.
 
Probably that Qui - Gon guy, simply because he was played by Liam Neeson. Awesome.
 
First you protect some Jews, then you save an entire ****ing planet. Go go Liam Neeson!

...that was Liam Neeson who was Schindler, right?

Yes. He also led the (old, respectable) IRA in winning the south independance from England. Woot.

His name's Ponda Baba. Don't ask me how I know this (I don't why I just said that, but just don't). K.
