The Characters of Star Wars Television
|
This is a thread to discuss your favourite, most hated or most memorable characters from any SW TV show. (Holiday special, Ewok movies, Droids, Ewoks cartoon and Clone Wars).
Here's some to start:
From the Holiday Special I like Boba Fett, remember this was the first time he was introduced into Star Wars. He appears to be a friend to the Alliance then when he's discovered he runs away. He also appeared in an episode of Droids and the animators drew him in the exact same way.
I always liked Chucka-Trok from Caravan Of Courage - He was a great character, very strong for an Ewok and brave and his death was always sad to me too. He is also featured in an episode of Ewoks I think it was the "Asha" episode.
From Droids I think a great character that is often forgotten is The Great Heep. He was one mean droid! He had a huge appitite for Astro-droids. Good voice too!
Norky was a memorable character from Ewoks. In one of the later episodes "Bringing up Norky". He was a kangeroo like looking guy who was a real trouble maker for the Ewoks, in the end he came good though! I liked this episode.
Finally from Clone Wars I thought Assaj Ventress was a pretty cool villan. I think she was based on some designs for a Sith witch from Episode I.
Please share with us the characters from any or all of the above series that made an impact on you.
I couldn't see another thread like this, so please lock if I've missed it.

From the Holiday Special, I really didn't like any of it. I hated Bea Arthur. I hated those dancer people. I hated all the wookies except Chewie. I hated how Luke looked. I hated Carrie Fisher's stoned look. I hated Harrison's unenthuised look. The only character that was medicore in it, was Boba Fett. He was pretty cool.
For Caravan of Courage, I liked Wickiet. He was cool, brave, and downright hilarious. He stole the show.
For Battle for Endor, I really liked Wilform Brimely's chracter; Noa. He was mean at first, but then once cindel and Wicket got to know him, he was nice, brave, and he was the kind've guy who would make the best of things in bad situations.
For Droids.  ........Well, I would have to say C-3PO and Artoo. The only worthwhile characters. Mungo was dumb. Jann was stupid. The villains were corny. The droids stole the show. (Which wasn't hard to do)
For Ewoks- N/A- (Haven't seen any of the show)
Clone Wars- Would have to be Obi-Wan as my favorite. He was the bravest. Most bad ***. And most casual, unlike most of the characters, (Yes Anakin, I'm looking at you).

The Star Wars Holiday Special:
Saun Dann. There's just something cool about the way he lies his way out of everything, similar to Obi-Wan in ANH. And, of course, Boba Fett was also cool.
Caravan of Courage:
Cindel (because she was just cute).
The Battle for Endor:
Noa (same as above)
Droids:
R2 (cause he's cool  ), Jan Tosh.
Ewoks:
Logray, becuase he was the wise ewok.
Clone Wars:
Yoda Mace for their super bad-ass force powers, and Obi-Wan for the same reasons as above)

Holiday Special:
Boba Fett, and color me crazy, but I think Lumpy is cute
Caravan of Courage:
Mace, because of his unintentional hilarious one-liners! Chukka-Trok is cool too!
Battle for Endor:
King Terak - he's just plain evil!
Ewoks:
Logray is cool, and the little girl who has a crush on Wicket is really cute.
Droids:
Max Reebo of course  And Mungo Baobab, only because of the extremely ugly, and very funny name.
Clone Wars:
Assaj is cool, and Grievous is awsome. Too bad he was kinda pathetic in RotS.

Clone Wars (only small screen I've seen), I'd have to say Grievous (cool introduction and waaaaay better than he was in either ROTS or most of his other EU appearances) and Shaak Ti.

It's not on. It never comes on, and it never will be on. It only aired once on Nov 17, 1978. If you want to watch it, you can easily find a bootleg copy on eBay. Even the recent book "Star Wars: The Utimate Visual Guide" explained that Lucasfilm has never officially released it, but bootlegs are easily available, so it seems like a statement that they don't mind the bootlegs of the holiday special. And, where did you see clips from it on Empire of Dreams?!? I thought that part was cut.

I really don't see any reason to not see the Holiday Special. Don't get me wrong - I too think it's horrible, and I'll probably never watch it again, but it's not something I regret watching. In fact, I am glad I got to see it!

Yeah. The only ones who find it painful are fanboys.
