Favorite SW Character

[bmilder]

Mine's Yoda. I also like Vader and Maul.

[Elanor]

Chewie. And C-3PO and Jar Jar. Maybe I just go for the sidekicks. :)

[Darth Tater]

Me. What, you don't remember me? Watch the movies again! Are you blind?

[dmaul96]

Oh yeah, I think I remember you. Weren't you the female slave that was singing at Jabba's Palace?

[dmaul96]

After extensive research, I was able to obtain the name of Tater's character. I also found a picture. Sy Snootles <img src=http://www.starwars.com/episode-vi/production/sy_snootles/img/sy_snootles3_bg.jpg>

[Son of a Hutt]

Hehe... :D

[anduin]

...character is, I will tell you mine. :P Actually there are two: Obi-Wan and Wato

[gdl96]

My favorite character is definitely Darth Maul. I also liked Watto, Vader, Yoda, Palpatine, Amidala/Padme (hot hot hot), and Leia (hot hot hot) :p There's more, but these are on the top.

[Darth Tater]

LOL!!!

[Gimli the Dwarf]

Mesa favorite Character Jar Jar Binks. Mesa also like'n Obi Wan, an' R2-D2.

[emilsson]

Mine are Luke, Leia, Yoda, R2 and Qui-Gon.

[General Ceel]

All of them

[DarthNut]

I like Han, Wedge, R2, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Qui-Gon.

[Ryan6233]

I liked leia in the gold slave outfit *mgrin*

[dmaul96]

Favorite character is dvader

[Bloop TK 421]

Vader

[Samfast]

As a parent I think Luke is a great example for kids. I also like Darth Vader as a tragic figure and did from the first movie.

[Son of the Suns I]

I'm not sure. Probably Anakin/Vader.

[Ganger]

Darth Vader of course!! and then it would be Obi Wan Kenobi

[Darth Snack]

Maul, sidious and old yoda.

[jedi master princess]

old yoda? as opposed to the younger yoda who had less of receding hairline?? ":) i like all the characters too...but my favorite is obi wan kenobi. old or young. ::goes back to jedi meditation::

[Brewhaha]

Admiral Akbar!!!! All the way!!!! (I'm new by the way)

[anduin]

TPM...

1) Qui-Gon
2) Padme

[bmilder]

And how could I forget... Lieutenant Kettch! :lol:

[gatito]

Okay my definite favorite is Luke :)

But I also am very fond of the two Droids, Yoda, Queen Amidala, and the young Obie Wan Kenobi from PM.


Luv Always,
gata

[easygreen]

Greedo.

I liked him because he was green. My brother and I still use the term "greedo" to designate a certain shade of green. The background color of the Entmoot board is "off-greedo."

As a kid I spent hours trying to match the color in enamel paints so I could do touch up jobs on my Greedo action figures. They sometimes suffered battle damage since we tended to hurl them against my bedroom walls to simulate the effect of explosions.

Occasional arm, leg and head losses were treated with generous applications of red paint.

[arynetrek]

anakin/vader of course, luke from the 2nd half of ESB on, yoda of course, & old obi-wan of course. hey, i have a jedi thing.

i'm not as fanatic about star wars as i am about some fantasy worlds, so could someone tell me what is the expanded universe? is that the collective name for the 5000 or so SW novels i havne't got around to reading yet?

aryne *

[bmilder]

Yeah, the Expanded Universe is anything Star Wars-related that isn't a movie. This includes the many novels, comic books, video games, etc.

[Fox609]

Fett, Maul, Watto, Qui-Gon, & R2.

[Gwaihir]

Obi-Wan is the best character.

[Aara Hakey]

I find it hard to choose a favorite. I love Leia because of her strength and cunning and whit. I like Han because,,,well, he's Han.

[Miralys]

Well put my votes down for Anakin/Vader, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. And Yoda too. Hee hee...notice a pattern? I don't like Luke though. He's too darn whiny! And in EU I like Mara Jade and Elegos.

[Aara Hakey]

oh I am begining to like Mara more and more in the books.

[Xivigg]

Mara Jade and Grand Admiral Thrawn

[SarahStar]

Excellent choices! :D

My three favorite EU characters (it's just wrong to pick favorites from the movies! ;) :lol: ) are as follows:

Mara Jade: I don't think this choice really requires much explanation. I would, however, like to distance the real Mara Jade from the pathetic substitute (actually she's just undercover...;) ) with the purple lightsaber in Mysteries of the Sith. I would also like to point out to anyone who has not read Hand of Thrawn that what we see of her between the two sets of Zahn books is not always exactly what it seems.

Talon Karrde: Easily the best fringe character. I don't think any qualifiers are necessary for this one. :cool:

Grand Admiral Thrawn: Easily the best villain in the EU. (Maybe even the best villain, period---there are no prequels to ruin Thrawn, after all.) Personally, I'd almost rather face Darth Vader than Grand Admiral Thrawn---at least with Vader I would know I where I stood.

[MITHRAND1R]

From the SW movies my favourite character is:

Darth Vader

Mainly due to the costume, voice and general screen presence. He was about 6'7" after all.

Difficult to pick a favourite from the EU due to sheer size, but

GA Thrawn, Mara Jade, Ghent, and Talon Karde are excellent characters.

Sincerely,

Anthony
:rollin:

[easterlinge]

If Luke is Darth Vader's son, how come he's so much shorter than his Dad?

[Jonce]

Yoda is the greatest character. http://www.tolkientrail.com/images/gollum.gif

Greedo is kinda cool to.

[X Rogue]

Because Vader probably got "extended" in height when he got his suit, in order to loom over people. He's an intimidator.

I like Luke, Han, Yoda, Anakin/Vader, Ackbar, and the Emperor. (don't shoot)

[Lief Erikson]

Actually Anakin's actor in Episode 2 is pretty tall as well.

[easterlinge]

"Because Vader probably got "extended" in height when he got his suit, in order to loom over people. He's an intimidator."

Vader in platform shoes? :lol: Ooo I'm scared.

[X Rogue]

Woops, I meant longer legs, not platform shoes. I always visualized Vader as being mostly torso after that lava pit incident. Obviously he had at least ONE mechanical hand, so I was assuming he'd had the other hand off and maybe one or both feet as well. (or should that be, 'to boot') So if Vader was limbless, why not have his enviro suit made w/long legs in order to loom over the masses.

[Lief Erikson]

:rolleyes:

[easterlinge]

What lava pit incident, Xrogue? I'd heard rumours about that oh, 15 years ago, but no one I knew could tell me how they know Anakin/Vader fell in. Could have been a red herring for all I knew.

Maybe Vader is like the Borg Queen, head and spine only preserved? "I use Head & Shoulders" :lol:

I believe some internal organs may have survived.

And what is "Asondre Eborgava Donimasaltre", Master Erikson? "Hello"? :D

[Lief Erikson]

Basically. :) I just dislike dull titles for subject headings. Even if 'Asondre Eborgava Donimasaltre' doesn't mean anything, it certainly sounds a heap cooler then 'Hello'.

The lava pit thing is a battle which will happen between Obi-Wan-Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. Anakin loses and falls into the pit, which results in his need for the armor plating you see him with in the classic trilogy. However, this is entirely a theory. I'm not sure where it started, but doubt it'll happen. George Lucas doesn't allow himself to feel forced by things that happen in books or comics about Star Wars to follow what they say happened. He is completely changing Boba Fett from everything all of the books say about him, and I think that this theory began even before Episode 1 was released.

[X Rogue]

What Lief said is basically what I heard about Darth's injuries in the lava pit. I'm not sure if it's canon and will be used by Lucas either. All I know is that there has to be some kind of explanation for the suit, etc. *shrugs* I guess the lava pit theory could be used, but I'm not at all sure how it got started.

And for all anyone knows, head and spine *is* all he had left inside that suit. All we saw at the end of ROTJ was his head, and from the battle scene, we can be sure Vader had one mechanical hand. However, there is some wiggle room in there, it just depends how Lucas wants to play it. I just hope it's nothing like that silly midi-chlorian theory.

[Lief Erikson]

Oh, I rather seriously doubt that. Maybe Yoda will blow him away.

[X Rogue]

Could be. But Yoda always suspected Anakin would be a problem, and would probably have been forced to make absolutely sure he'd killed Anakin in a battle. Yoda would have realized that if he left Anakin alive, Anakin would have done his best to wipe out the Jedi. And that is pretty much what happened. I know Vader wiped 'em out under Palpatine's orders, but it was to his own advantage as well, and Vader wasn't above twisting or manipulating Palpatine's directives to suit himself. Yoda and Obi-Wan both ended up hiding out at the ends of the galaxy, the only Jedi left. Obi-wan as Vader's duelist makes more sense, he trained Anakin and may not have had the heart to make sure he was dead. ( not that most people who get knocked into a lava pit end up crawling out of it anyway.) It's just that with Yoda's suspicions of Anakin, he would have risked life and limb if necessary to crawl after him and make sure Anakin was dead. JMHO

[Lief Erikson]

That's probably true. Yes, I expect the duel to happen too, I'm just suggesting alternative possibilities.

[The Black Lieutenant]

I don't know about you guys, but I actually wept when Darth Maul bit the dust.

[Lief Erikson]

I think almost every person who has watched Star Wars agrees that Darth Maul's demise was ill timed. Certainly everyone I know. But it'll be interesting to see Darth Sidious fight Yoda. That's one thing I'm looking forward to.

[X Rogue]

You, me and no doubt some other people as well. Yoda in a fight with anyone would be cool enough, w/ Sidious.......:D I'm gonna be glued to that. I loved the duel with Maul, and also thought it poorly timed. Never mind that he could have been so much more as a useful character, instead of being portrayed in such a one or two dimensional fashion. I mean, I would have loved to be a fly on the wall during his training, or his discussions w/ Sidious, or even have loved to see him have a conversation with Qui-Gonn, or Yoda, instead of just seeing Maul swooping in for the kill (again). Why is there never good character exposition on the baddies? I didn't even think there was good character exposition on the good guys this time. And I *know* GL knows better than that. Yargh.

[The Black Lieutenant]

I'm inclined to agree with you. Darth Maul's training would have been pretty interesting. As for his death, well, we all know he had to die at some point to make way for Darth Vader to become Sidious' new apprentice, but he could have at least survived until the second movie.

[Lief Erikson]

Yes, I think he should have. I can't entirely agree with you two that his training would have been neat to see in this movie, but I certainly wish there were more scenes with Darth Maul. Preferably a few where he talked a little. Episode II would indeed have been a good one to finish him off in, I think.

It'll be interesting to see how Anakin meets Palpatine and gets involved with him. He might get turned to the dark side on first acquaintance, but I rather doubt it.

[X Rogue]

I think a lot of people would have liked to see Maul last till the second movie. Face it, Palpatine hasn't declared himself yet, he needs an agent to move about and do things, and who better than Maul for a quick quiet job. Easy to send, reliable to the death, and trustworthy beyond all others. I know it would never have been possible, but oh, what I would not give to see a Maul/Vader or Maul/Luke duel. Whooo.

I would certainly have liked to hear more about the Sith/Jedi feud and get a feel for the history of both Orders. The first 3 movies had plots and character expostion galore. I loved those movies. I cared about the characters. I cannot watch Yoda or Ben die without crying. TPM, uh-uh. No such luck. I realize it was hyped too much, but this was way beyond that. I hope the next one is an improvement.

[Lief Erikson]

Darth Maul is also a person who, if scene on the job, would raise a lot of questions. His features and choice of garb make him easy to identify, and I doubt he can go around altering every single person's mind that he meets. He's good for some jobs, but others . . . I think there are some assassins who would draw a lot less attention than Darth Maul.

I never cried about any of the characters dying and I think that all of the deaths in the classic trilogy were well placed and thought out. The characters in TPM weren't as well developed, although they were still likable. I think that in this next one, the scenes will be far more intense and it will be picking up more and more on the emotions of the different people. Particularly the romance between Amidala and Anakin.

[X Rogue]

Quite true. I just thought TPM wasn't as good as the previous films, not that it was bad.

[Lief Erikson]

Yes, that's what I thought. And that's how I feel too. The next two I think are likely to be a good deal better.

[X Rogue]

/me raises a glass of 1420 in a toast to George Lucas's Muse and sits back to sip in anticipation
I think they will be better. I hope they will. :)

[Mace McClain]

*Sees Yoda beating Sidious in a fight*

It could happen.

[Lief Erikson]

I think they'll both live.

[The Black Lieutenant]

If I remember correctly, Maul got cut in half didn't he? But that doesn't necessarily mean he won't be back in the second film, the way I see it. I mean, Darth gets messed up pretty bad in his fight with Obi Wan and he's saved by futuristic technology. Perhaps Darth Maul will be resurrected as a machine-man as well, or maybe the Emperor will clone him.

On second thought, maybe I'm just prone to wishful thinking.

[Lief Erikson]

I think you probably are. Darth Maul might return, but I'm inclined to believe that if there was any life left in that body after it was sliced in two, it was snuffed out the instant he hit the bottom of that pit he fell down.

[The Black Lieutenant]

:lol: Forgot about that part. . .

[X Rogue]

Yup, splat!

[Lief Erikson]

In that case the only other option is that Darth Sidious took a bit of his flesh before he died, and cloned him.

[X Rogue]

Yah, but that would be cheesy. I wonder if they do that, will they work it like the gholas in the Dune series where the memories of the gholas' original life could be awakend? Hmmmmm...... that might help.

[Phalanor]

my fav sw character?
mine would have to be Ponda Baba. remember that ugly dude from the cantina. that gureilla/walrus guy that got his arm cut off by Obi-wan?

wanna see him?
starwars.hasbro.com/produ...7114_b.jpg (http://starwars.hasbro.com/product_images/57114_b.jpg)
there ya go!

[easterlinge]

Speaking of clones, does George Lucas plan to shed a little more light on the Clone Wars? I remember Wedge saying something about having known Anakin during the Clone Wars in "A New Hope".

[Lief Erikson]

Oh I'm sure he does. I think the Clone Wars will take place in Episode II. I don't know if they'll end during that one or during Episode III, but I know that they'll be involved in these upcoming films. Obi Wan said "I fought in the Clone Wars the same as your father." With a duo like that involved, I'm certain that they'll be important to how things happen in the upcoming Star Wars Episode.

[The Black Lieutenant]

That must be it! The Clone Wars will be fought against an army of Darth Maul clones!!!

Or worse yet, an army of clones of Jar Jar!!!!

[ryan]

Wow.. Just to show how long this post has been going on (or how inactive the forum is).. Theres a post on the first page from me, when i was admin! Thats gotta be.. more than a year old or so, right?

[Darth Tater]

Actually, rumors look like Yoda will be fighting the sith played by Lee, not Sidious

[Lalaith]

Yeah, actually I found a "favourite Star Wars character" thread. I have to bring it back to life, not that Episode II has been published (acutally almost a year ago).
So which is your favourite character?

From the old movies?
Luke and Leia

From the new ones
Amidala, Obi Wan and Anakin (okay, I like Hayden, not Anakin)

[Estel13]

HAN SOLO ROX!!! I always liked him the best. Chewie is cool, too, of course! Ok, kid, now blow this thing up and go home! One of many great lines.;)

[Kalile]

I think my favorite is actually Qui-gon Jinn. He sort of reminds me of my grandfather, wise, but not at all averse to fun. (except my grandfather isn't a Jedi.) The other best, if they had a better actor, is Anakin/Vader. As Anikin, the tradgedy and turmoil in the character is amazing. It gave me chills in the movie. Imagine if they'd had a real actor!

[Orion]

My favorite character is Han Solo - he´s such a rogue.. :D

I don´t have any faves in these new movies, actually I have seen only the first one and think that I won´t see the two last ones..

[Lalaith]

What's wrong with Hayden Christensen?

[gandalfstormcrow]

Obi-Wan, Vader, Luke, Palpatine, Yoda, R2D2, Han

[Bombadillo]

Han Solo and Yoda. Does anybody not like Yoda?
They were the first comic reliefs in SW, and were better than Jar Jar.

[Lalaith]

Yoda was funny in Episode II!

[Bombadillo]

Yeah, I still think they should have extended that fight scene to like... a long time. I think Lucas was trying to play with us. Maybe in Episode III he'll be shown in all his Jedi glory!

[Lalaith]

I really liked the pink sword of Mace Windu.

[Aralyn]

Leia is my fave character and Han solo. Next is R2-D2

[Elf Girl]

Jar-jar.

































Just kidding.

[gimli7410]

As opposed to Princess Leia any other time?

[gimli7410]

yes as opposed to princess leia at other time

[Aralyn]

Okay:cool: I like her ALL the time. Anothe person I like-Anakin cause he's evil

[Lalaith]

Okay I like her ALL the time. Anothe person I like-Anakin cause he's evil
I like Anakin too, but because he is damn cute.

Jar-jar.
god, my heart stopped beating.

Just kidding.
What a relief.

[Bombadillo]

Ah speaking of gold I forgot C-3PO! He and Han have the best one-liners in the series.

[gimli7410]

i like jar-jar.. is that wrong or somethin;) :D

Really? I liked him playing Anakin and I believed every sentence he said as Anakin. I think he played very well. I went out of the cinema and thought: That Hayden Christensen must be a very stupid and antipatic person.
So impressed was I with his acting skills. But the same evening I saw him on the late night show and he was so nice and friendly. That's when I started realizing that he must be a great actor.

[Bombadillo]

I agree with gimli7410 on Hayden. The casting crew could have done a much better job, this is Star Wars! Just his looks alone should have gotten him disqualified from the part, and he wasn't even a good actor at that.

[gimli7410]

i saw him in the extras of the dvd and he seemed like a good guy and seemed like a determined actor but he was just not any good.

[Lalaith]

What was wrong with his looks? (I want to point out that there is a thread to discuss Haydens abilities and looks)

[Tinuviel22]

Most of you guys dig the bad ones. At least I know I'm not the only one that thinks DarthMaul
is awesome:) Oh ya, and princess Leia and R2-D2 are really cool too!

[Bombadillo]

Originally posted by Lalaith

But he really doesn't look like Anakin. In RotJ he removes his helmet and reveals his remarkably round face. And i was glad when little Ani had a round head in Ep. 1, but in 2 he doesn't even look related to Anakin.

Know what? That was the first thought that came to my mind when I first saw a picture of Hayden as Anakin. I though: Hey, young Ani had a round face and wasn't that thin.

[Tahquamenon]

favorite would have to be a three way split

yodas humor

han solos attitude

obi ones aura





but the two droids are a crackup too :)

[frodosgirlfriend]

Chewie is my fav :D

[The Ben]

I have no idea why, but I just like R2-D2. For no reason. none at all.

[The Ben]

I like them ALL!!! All!! you here me??

[The Ben]

I really have no idea. I like them all.

[hectorberlioz]

#1.HAN SOLO
#2.OBI
#3.LEIA
and CHEWIE to round it off, dont worry luke, vader,and maul are next in line.

[hectorberlioz]

Now for favorite least known carachter in star wars.....

NOTE: must be in movies!

I know. the made up characters from the dumb star wars books hardly count as star wars like 'Mara Jade' and stuff like that.

[XRogue]

Hah, and I was right about the lava pit after all! :D

[Daphne_daughter_of_Eowyn]

My fave characters are:

Padme, because she is really pretty and really kind but she is brave and stubborn. (Just for the record, I am a girl so don't get any funny ideas even tho my name says it all even though people mite have thought me a boy in disguise.) :rolleyes:

Anakin, because he is cooooool! And so hot! His long wavy hair is SO gorgeous! He is also very sweet and loveable at the start of RotS.

:) :)

Obi Wan cos he can be quite sarcastic and funny. :D

I also like Darth Vader even though he is Anakin but he is so cool! :evil:

[Lief Erikson]

My favorite character of the prequal trilogy is Obi-Wan. With the Original Trilogy, I really couldn't say.

Anakin, Padmé and Palpatine are also all brilliant, of course :).

I guess my prequal list would look like this:

[Halbarad of the Dunedain]

Sam Jackson is a bad mother.... i like Mace Windu and his purple lightsaber! But as a whole character... i like Obi-wan and Anakin/Darth Vader the most. The new trilogy is susposed to be about Anakins fall to Vader? i think not, it is the story of Obi-wan and Anakin!

[me9996]

Mine's Yoda. I also like Vader and Maul.
I like yoda too... He's crazy but he also can fight and he's on the right side...

[me9996]

OH, COME ON!!! Why does every one leave when I post?!? :(

P.S.
If there was a frustrated smiley I'd use it. :(

[Smeagol_fan]

My favorite character is Yoda. He's the only one who does logical things on a regular basis.

[hectorberlioz]

My favorite character is Yoda. He's the only one who does logical things on a regular basis.
Hehe, though you have to admit, he was a bit arrogant when he entered the emporer's chamber;)...it was cool, but it was pretty dangerous. Yoda and Han Solo are the most consistently cool characters.

[rohirrim TR]

it would have to be yoda or obi-wan kenobi

[Lief Erikson]

Hehe, though you have to admit, he was a bit arrogant when he entered the emporer's chamber;)...it was cool, but it was pretty dangerous.
On the other hand, at that point in the story, Yoda's life is worth less than the Emperor's. If the Emperor died then, the Empire may well have collapsed. The Republic might have been able to regain control. Certainly the Empire's great intellect and power would be gone, and successors would not be nearly so much of a threat.

If Yoda died, I don't think much would change. It would be very unfortunate, but with no big consequences such as the Emperor's death would have had. Yoda could afford to be brave :).

That makes sense...though it would be pretty shaky with hopes of resurrecting the jedi line if Yoda had died...it's a good thing Yoda had that comlink:p

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

Obi-Wan's my favourite, what can't he do?

[JTB]

Sidious! :evil:

[Curubethion]

Obi-Wan's my favourite, what can't he do?
He can't do all that crazy acrobatic stuff Yoda does :D . Yoda's awesome.

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

That was a retorical question :p

[Curubethion]

That was a retorical question :p
Oh yeah? :D

[The Witch-King of Angmar]

lol, alright but at least Obi-Wan is tall enough to go on rollercoasters :D
