I was just wondering what the people here thought the attributes of an ultimate SW anti-hero were (Ie. villian)

Black clothing, an inhuman face, a lightsaber that isn't white... you know, indirectly racist stuff.

White clothing, an human face, a lightsaber that is white... you know, completely unracist stuff.

Anti-heroes ARE NOT villains! Anti-heroes are people who find themselves in extraordinary situations and must perform, usually when they don't want to or are lacking heroic qualities. John McLean from the original Die Hard is a perfect example of an anti-hero.

Dracula in bram stoker's dracula is considered an antihero by some people in there essays and articles(I think ebert was one of these, if I remember). Yet he is also known as a villain by others. Yet still to others he is both.

Sometimes it seems to depend on the point of view of a person.

Yeah, I agree that anti-hero isn't villain. Also, isn't it kinda bad that there's a Harry Potter spoiler in this thread? Oh well, as long as it isn't Star Wars then I guess it's ok. wink

Kier - can Borsk Fey'lya be considered an anti-hero?

For the most part, no- he does what's best for Borsk and not too often, others. And I don't want to spoil anything for anyone.

Anyone see that movie with mel gibson, payback?

Where he goes around destroying the badguys all for himself, just because they got on his bad side?

It came out a few years ago, and it was mel gibson against a crime syndicate that took his money(as I remember he stole in the first place.), and turned his girl against him.

It is known as an antihero film, and mel isn't doing stuff for the good of all either.

Yes, by the standards that dracula, or payback are put under.

But to some he would be a villain as well.
