    With Anakin filling/mirroring the Luke role (he appears 24 min into the film and Luke appears 20 min into ANH, barley a 4 min difference) all these plots go on around it the way the film is structured with Jar-jar simply being supported/backed up by all these other plots:

    Like many things about the film its misunderstood what a good prequel it actually is in more ways than one when it comes to setting up themes. This is how and why its the best SW movie to watch first in any marathon. Its designed to set up all the fundamental themes of SW as a first Episode.

    Qui-Gon is definitely underrated. Without Qui-Gon, we wouldn't have Obi-Wan, Vader, Luke, or Leia.

    You forgot the Force Ghost technique.

    Really good point! Without Force Ghosting, the Death Star would have destroyed Yavin!

    Qui Gon literal saved the galaxy and is probably in the top 3 most important jedi in the last decades of the Republic.

    Jerjerrod. His interactions with Vader are telling about how the Empire works and the deleted "destroy Endor" scene shows him trying to be reasonable.

    Qui-Gon Jinn was fantastic. If only all the other characters in TPM were as good as him.

    Mon Mothma, the George Washington of Star Wars, is definitely underrated.

    What's her face... Zam Katana or something. The walking orange with glasses. That fruit needs an anthology movie.

    Wedge deserves more love. He was the only Rebel pilot that survived all the major OT battles (except Luke, of course).

    Dooku. The idea of an aristocratic duelist villain was just perfect for the PT, and Lee's screen presence was great.

    Not sure he's underrated.. .but Blue Leader from Rogue One is one of my favorite characters in the whole saga. I had a sad when they took him down

    Was reading through ScreenRant's list of the 15 Criminally Underrated Star Wars Characters and it got me thinking who I would choose.

    Probably Wedge Antilles.
    But if we're including the Expanded Universe then without a doubt R5-D4.

    Here's the original article: http://screenrant.com/star-wars-best-most-underrated-characters

    Jango Fett - Gets overshadowed by his son but deserves way more credit. Not only did he accomplish more than his son, but he also served as the template for the entire clone army. His armor is also way flashier than Boba's (not sure that that's really ideal for bounty hunting but who cares it still looks great).

    Watto - he's funny, alive, and a very well acted, and nobody seems to give him the time of day because he's only in the two most unpopular episodes.

    R2-D2
    Ok he's probably not the most underrated character but he is overshadowed by the other protagonists a lot. He repaired the shields on the Queen's ship in TPM, saved Padme from being incinerated in AOTC, destroyed the Buzz Droids on Anakin's ship and stopped the out of control elevator on Grievous' s ship in ROTS, carried Leia's message and the Death Star plans in ANH, fixed the hyperdrive on the Falcon in ESB and carried Luke's Lightsaber for when he needed it in ROTJ. He even did his small but important part in TFA by showing his half of the map to Luke.

    So yeah he may not of destroyed a Death Star or brought balance to the Force, but the galaxy would be a much darker place without him. R2 is the true hero of the saga.

    General Grievous, that dude was a badass! And a whole lot of the Jedi, like Kit Fisto, Aayla Secura, Shaak Ti and Plo Koon etc.

    Wedge Antilles is one hell of a hero. Jango Fett kicked some jedi ass and that was impressive. I'd include Dooku, but he was underused by Lucas.

    Yes, but the man used mind tricks in everyone. That's unethical.
