Once my character just went nutso on a group of aliens. (his girlfriend had just been killed by them) I did a total Ani job, but it was fun thinking up new ways to do the deeds off the top of my head.

My group had been captered by pirates but were inside a ship we had stolen from bossk. In the back was an automated skinning table. when the pirates came to kill us we capture one of the men. My friend put him on the table and started it skinning him alive. We did kill the rest of the pirates but I catorized his leg to stop the bleeding but then threw him into the vacuum of space as we escaped.

A friend of my brother had a character that put several jawas inside a box and made it roll down a large hill. During the event the GM said that there was a lot of noise coming from the box on its decent down the hill.
Another event that was extremely funny was when two other players decided to shave the wookie character in our group. Then they proceded to paint the wookie NEON PINK. This paint was non-removable, so the character was beaten up or mugged by any other wookie he met.
Yet another one was:when a crazed player(one of which helped in the above insident)decided to place a wookie into a airlock and when in space opened the door. Then he flew the ship into the atmosphere of a planet, burning the wookie alive. All the while he drank a glass of water infront of the airlock window.
The same character that was in the last 2 events did another crazy thing. There was a time he obtianed 125 different types of explosives. He then went into the nearest crowded place and said, while holding a thermal detanator, "I will do it!" There was not any point to do this at all. He had to remake his character several times because he actually did do it sometimes.

Well, I've been a GM now for a very long time, but that means I've played all the other characters in campaigns, particularly the evil ones. So....
It's the little things that do it more than the big obvious ones I think. It makes the players think that you have planned for everything, when really you haven't. I guess it makes them a healthy amount of paranoid. Not too paranoid, just enough...
In the last campaign, there was a kindly old professor at a local university on the players' (starting) homeworld. He sent the players off on a mission with a Jedi Knight that he knew. The mission was to find some relics that would complete particularly puzzling map and then go to where the map indicated to uncover whatever was hidden there. The hope was that powerful artifacts, weapons, or even an enclave of Jedi in hiding might be found. As it turns out, the kindly old professor was actually rather evil at heart. He traveled in the company of a level 20 bounty hunter of my creation and tracked the characters during their adventures. He showed up at the very end of the campaign, during the final showdown, and managed to make off with an object of vital importance through a portal of somekind (think stargate).
The players of course were all mortified that the kind old professor turned out to be evil. Of course, the professor was able to make his escape, because the players also happened to encounter Darth Vader at this point in the campaign (hey...they're force users now; he was bound to catch up with them sooner or later).
Vader being able to find them at all, is of course, another evil twist of the GM enacted upon the gallant players. The players were enroute to this place before all this happened. As they were travelling deeper into the unknown regions, they were interdicted by Thrawn (at that time a captain or somesuch) and brought aboard his ship for a "random inspection". The players talked their way out of the situation and got underway. Thinking they were being smart, they spent three days flying off in another direction to some random planetoid where they landed and searched the ship. They found a tracking device planted by the Imperials, ditched it on the planetoid and took off again, resetting their course for their original destination. Thinking the Imperials foiled, they were quite happy with themselves.
Of course, what they failed to remember is that Thrawn tracked their interrupted vector when he originally interdicted them and triangulated the possible locations they were originally going to. (The players had plotted a course straight there, but of course, who would expect Imperials to be in the Unknown Regions?) Being the person that he is, Thrawn narrowed it down to the only habitable planet in the region. He contacted Vader because he had recognized the players' friendly and accompanying Jedi Master NPC during the "talk" he had with the players (the Jedi Master is one of the most wanted persons in the galaxy afterall). Thrawn knew he was no match in personal combat for a Jedi Master that was standing right in front of him, even with a ship full of Imperials backing him up, he'd probably fall to the Jedi long before his forces overwhelmed the Jedi. So caught unprepared for a Jedi Master, he let the players and their Jedi friend go and called in Vader.
Anyway....when the players finally got to the planet, the Imperials, with Vader, had already arrived and set up a nice little trap for them in the main chamber where this yet to be activated 'stargate' was. The players arrived, activated the thing and then had a series of traps sprung on them: 1. The professor and his bounty hunter and the hunter's droids 2. The bounty hunter hired by an imperial inquisitor that had also been tracking the players for awhile and arrived just after they did, as well as his battle droids and 3. Darth Vader and a few squads of handy stormtroopers and a noghri bodyguard contingent.
The situation seemed bleak...oh yes.
The battle ended with one player having jumped to his own death (comical story for another time), one player exploded to bits ('chunky salsa' is how that player refers to it) from trying to internalize and defeat a dark side force wraith, one player (the Jedi) frozen in carbonite, one player fallen to the dark side and pursuing the good Jedi Master NPC #1 through the stargate portal, and two other players making a hopeless escape run in their space transport. Despite all this, I would say the battle was a victory for the forces of the light side (again, a story for another time).
The players have been somewhat paranoid in the newest campaign about leaving evidence of their passing considering what had happened to them last time. Of course last time, they left no less than 3 war-torn planets in their wake, not to mention they were making massive use of the Force that lit up their locations like signal flares to those that were watching. The players have also been somewhat more suspicious of 'allies' when they meet them and work with them for awhile.
Hmmm...let's see, also in that campaign, the players were captured by professor's bounty hunter and made to believe they were going to be prisoners of Jabba the Hutt. Well, while imprisoned, the professor showed up to free them from their predicament. While freeing them, he pumped them for information about their mission progress. Then, having a majority of the information he needed and deeming the players' usefulness at an end, the professor recommended the players escape through a ventilation unit that led out to a cave that opened into the desert. I can't remember how the professor was even there and how I explained it away, but the players completely bought it because they trusted the professor implicitly. Anyway, at about the time the Krayt Dragon in the cave was swallowing the players' NPC wookie sidekick whole, the players started to wonder about the professor a bit. But afterwards, they decided that the event had been just coincidence and that the professor didn't REALLY mean to send them into a Krayt Dragon lair. (Ha!)
Also in that campaign...multiple players were being grappled in the jaws of Sith Dragons at one point. One player was actually extricated from the maw of one beast by a heroic effort of another player. The other player had to endure horrible death throes of the dragon whose mouth he was trapped in as still other players killed the beast (pulpy). This wasn't so much necessarily evil, but when the players then decided to jump into the lake near the beasts' lair, I had to have the queen sith dragon make an appearance and really do some damage (we'll just call that incident: "the rewards of stupidity").
They also received dark side points for trying to penetrate through some really wicked psychological tests in a dark side temple. (It was pretty bad, forced to make decisions in terrible moral dilemmas...most failed utterly, hence the dark side points. Of course the nature of the tests, being in a darkside temple and all, made it almost impossible not to fail.) Part of the point of the campaign was to have the players walk the edge between light and dark, and generally players want to be "angelic-heroic", so having them end up in some no-win situations brings out their baser side usually. (As my friend says, "I'm tired of lawful good characters being played like "lawful dumb.")
They were then forced to kill a Jedi Master that was barely holding onto his sanity after trying to imprison a dark side spirit within himself to prevent it from escaping to damage the world outside the temple. (File that under: "Where's the treasure?")
They were randomly attacked by a rodian and his buddies in a cantina on Tatooine and later in the fight, the bartender exhibited more heroism than the players did (not evil I guess, just funny).
All of the players' parents and families were captured and/or wiped out by Imperials early in the campaign soon after they had defected from their Imperial duty stations (hey, what did they expect?)
The Jedi PC was later forced to kill his own parents who were trying to kill him while held in the thrall of the dark side by a powerful sith acolyte (ouch).
One player permanently lost two points of his Constitution score from Sith Poison. (File this under: "Do you want to make your players think you are evil and capable of anything?") For some reason, players grudgingly look at the nice little game master in a new light when someone has an ability score get jacked. Gee...wonder why that is? <sarcasm> I'm sorry, but Sith Poison exists. When a Dark Side Marauder has some Sith Poison and knows he's laying a trap for force users, does he pack up his gear and say, "Gee, I think I won't need this Sith Poison to gain victory over the most powerful of potential types of foes I could face. I'll leave it home this time."
That was all in the last campaign.
This campaign hasn't highlighted as much evil yet, although I, the GM, have put the characters in many tight spots again. No, this campaign has been more of a comedy of errors by the players. Jedi attempting heroic leaps, but coming up short and splatting against a wall, then sliding down it, cartoon-style. Or Jedi characters heroic surging to finish off the bad guy only to make a critical miss on the heroic surge attack. The bad guy then immediately followed with a critical hit. It was sort of humorous...if you weren't the player in the midst of dying. Jedi character often implored to by others: "Aren't you a Jedi? Do something!" Player then looks at his sheet and his paltry vitality, "I'm feeling weak in the Force today. It's failing me." Ah...poor Jedi. We've been thinking of renaming the heroic surge feat to unheroic surge for this guy. Hopefully it will make his eventual success all the sweeter...if he lives to see the day.

Yeah, that's usually pretty terrible. I've had to cut campaigns short like that due to unfortunate circumstances.

RE: The Worst Thing Your Character Has Ever Done?

Hello all! Well, I really only played two Star Wars RPG characters ever, the first, and far and away my very favorite shares the name i use on here. I played Warn for something like 4 years. He saw the death of the Old Republic, the birth of the Empire and the rise of the New Republic. I digress though, this is supposed to be about evil.
So Warn is missing an arm, courtesy of our favorite black clad bionic Lord of the Sith. He's also mising his bestest pal who was a Jedi Padawan, slain like a dog before his eyes. So he has his very own lightsaber that he can't use, a machine right arm which comes in handy, and a healthy dose of hate! Basically he spends the duration of the Empire era trying to find a way to bring about Vader's fall, all the while ebcoming more and more and like him, up to the point where we stopped, the only organic parts he had left were face and brain.
D'oh, gotta run for now. I'll hopefully continue later when I get a chance.

After several rather annoying encounters with Bossk. My pirate character Raster decided he finally had enough of the trandoshian once and for all.
Previous encounters had always ended bad for the bounty hunter. On one occasion Raster decided to cut off a finger on each hand and just stood their laughting at him as he tried to hold his blaster. Raster wasn't force sensitive but he still managed to rack up a few DSP's. Seeing is how he always regenerated his limbs, and kept coming back was rather ammusing, but Raster soon grew tired of tormenting the lizard so he was going to end the relationship the only way he could think of. By spacing the trando.
The only thing Raster had to subdue Bossk with was detonite tape. You know the duct-tape that goes boom. No self respecting pirate should be without some. As Raster was draging him back to the ship. Bossk’s back up arrived. All of a sudden the Raster was dodging blaster fire from above. Raster had enough streetwise to recoginise the attacker as Boba Fett. Rather than attacking the bounty hunter he did what any good pirate would do, use Bossk as a human… I mean trandoshian shield.
Bossk goes boom! The rest of the group decides they can take on Boba Fett, by doing this they happen to delay him for a few rounds. That was enough for Raster to run away. The look on the other player’s faces was golden when I told the GM I had no intention of fighting and was running away.
So Fett has captured the entire party, so what does Raster do? Go rescue his friends, of course not he promotes himself to captain of the ship and leaves.

One group had a really annoying person as a player. The mission was for the rebels to get to the x-wings and escape. The party finally gets there, and the annoying player has bad pilot skills. The bounty hunter offers to let him ride in the gunner seat of the Y-Wing. The rest of the party takes off, and the bounty hunter flies straight to imperial base, and turns in the annoying guy for the bounty. The Rebels loose a mediocre agent, and the annoying player has to come up with a new character.
Everyone else was ammused.
I did have to ammend the house rule.
Former rule: Any character that kills another PC gets an instant DSP (and in d6, that's a lot bigger problem).
New rule: Any character that kills another PC or otherwise makes it impossible for the player to continue using a character within the game gets a DSP.

Worst I've done? It's very low, and somewhat disgusting, I'll warn you now.....
The DM was testing my restraint and ability to keep from doing something darksided. I was a jedi. He made a little group of children walk up to me and start teasing me about everything my character did or said. Next thing I knew I had one child forcegripped and forcelightninged(all at once for about a half an hour) until blood poured fourth from his eyes, ears and mouth.

Not StarWars, but definately SW related.
Just started a Vampire game last night for the first time in over a decade. Not one to play normal, I opted for a Malkavian. A Malkavian who thought he was Lando Calrissian. It got so bad at one point, I'd find a fitting StarWars reference for just about every scene, and players would start to wonder which game they were actually playing! Malkavian, spreading the insanity one fragile mind at a time!
