    Updated after Solo:

    1) Obi-Wan Kenobi. The grand master chess player for the Light orchestrated most of the Skywalker saga as the true opposite to Palpatine in the battle of the hearts and minds of the Skywalker family. A star student of the Jedi Order, he gave his entire life to it from start to finish. Very few weaknesses except for his ambition to stop Vader and being willing to lie to Luke to start him on that journey via revenge. That he cared more about balance, and cared so much about it that he was willing to wait 18 years on his bet, makes him my favorite Star Wars character of all time. He's like Michael Jordan. He'll do anything to help win in the big picture & in the end his efforts did end up getting the better of Sidious.

    2) Luke Skywalker. Rises above Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader BECAUSE of The Last Jedi. The Dark Side has called out to EVERY male in the Skywalker family line at some point and each of them have answered it but he is the only one with the control to fight it off and keep it at bay only briefly. Some saw him as perfect and a paper thin character but his weaknesses make him one of the most complex and intriguing protagonists of all time. He's not incredibly smart. He's not incredibly strong. He's as emotional as his father and nephew are just in more of a sulky way than an angry way. He's given up on himself multiple times and even tried killing himself after realizing his father was the enemy & that this seemed to be an unwinnable situation. But despite all he's been through, and all the times the Dark Side has called out to him, we only know of 2 fleeting moments where he listened and each time he caught himself and then made a choice to do what he thought in that moment was best to to help others. He's guided by his heart and not by his brain and that heart has got him into some tough spots and also saved a lot of lives. In The Last Jedi that choice to stay away and end the Jedi was wrong and he realized it and gave his everything to return and make amends.

    3) Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader. Luke's fleeting moment of darkness helped me to better appreciate the fall of Anakin and Ben Solo. The greatest villain of all time. So much has been written about him that I won't even try.

    4) Ben Solo / Kylo Ren. The Supreme Leader is routinely underestimated but he seems to possess several strengths of all of his mentors and family members and when he's focused and makes use of all of those strengths together he's not only magnetic; he's a force to be reckoned with. There's aspects of Anakin / Vader / Luke / Han and Leia in him that combine to make something unique.

    5) Palpatine. The grand master of antagonism regarding the Skywalker family and the true opposite of Obi-Wan in the saga in my mind for the hearts and minds of the Skywalkers themselves.

    6) Rey. Born into a life where she had to fight to survive, her skills in hand-to-hand combat are more advanced at her age than anyone we've seen in the saga films since Anakin himself. She's the biggest optimist we've seen in Star Wars and that optimism leads itself to tremendous Light side power but that optimism has also finally been revealed as weakness in the form of naivete and Kylo Ren begun to chip away at that and expose some of that optimism she had for her family and also him as a weakness. How will her biggest Light side strength react to these new doubts and weaknesses? I'm looking forward to finding out.

    7) Han Solo. The coolest scoundrel with a heart of gold there is. Would be higher if he had more complexity beyond ANH but he sort of plateaus as a character. He's so charismatic and awesome that it doesn't really matter. When you reach those highs plateauing is still better than where most characters peak.

    8) Yoda. Arguably the most popular philosopher in North American pop culture history.

    9) TIE: R2D2 and BB8 - Whomever thinks dogs are a man's best friend never met these two loyal, passionate, inventive droids.

    10) TIE: Leia and Finn - Leia for realizing she wanted to be a leader at a young age and giving her life to her beliefs. Finn for not knowing who he wants to be as a young man but knowing who he definitely doesn't want to be. If Finn is on your side or believes in what you believe in you have somebody who'll give his life for you or your cause.

    11) Lando Calrissian. Cape game is on point. Glover added even more swagger & cool somehow.
