Saga Favorite characters from the Star Wars saga

I was watching ANH the other night and I particularly enjoyed the performance of Peter Cushing as Tarkin.

 

Updated list:

1. Tarkin
2. Dooku
3.Obi-Wan (Ewan)
4. Luke
5. R2

 

Just out of curiosity, but why did you specify Ewan's Obi-Wan? I too prefer Ewan McGregor's version. That's not to say that Alec Guinness did a poor job, but I preferred the way the character was handled in the PT.

 

Basically the same reason you stated. I thought Ewan's handling of the character was better and much easier to understand and relate to. I don't mind Sir Alec it's just he's not well explored we have more time with Ewan's. I do wish people would stop saying Alec's Old Ben lied though. It's not his fault the OT and PT have different approaches.

 

Poor old Sir Alec / Ben was a casualty of make it up as you go along storytelling.

 

Yes he was and he gets labelled liar when it isn't his fault. I think it's rather unfair.

6. Obi Wan
6. Mace Windu
7. Ani/Vader

Qui Gon Jinn
Boba Fett

I know I am going to touch a nerve with many when I go on this rant but here goes, whenver I see someone rated Han Solo as their favorite Star Wars character I am guessing they must be a casual Star Wars fan and not a devoted fan. I know this is all subjective but I don't know how someone comes way watching the OT not having Darth Vader as their favorite character. To me Han is a great supporting character, he is just a notch above Boba Fett as someone fans want to give way too much increased importance to. Yes I know he saved Luke's life twice and he was a key leader in the rebellion, still he wasn't irreplacable. Luke and Leia were irraplacable so much was on their shoulders if either of them failed it would be a key victory for the empire. I will always think Lucas put Han's character to attract the casual viewer who would have otherwise said what are all these weird sci-fi characters in this movie, Han is the renegade cowboy that viewers related to. Even with a new hope which is many people's first Star Wars movie they watched I thought the movie was more Luke's journey and the mission to rescue a captive princess.


Here is my top 10:

1.Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker
2.Luke Skywalker
3.Yoda
