Saga Top 10 favorite characters from the Star Wars films

Anakin Skywalker/ Darth Vader
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Luke Skywalker
Han Solo and Chewbacca
R2-D2 and C-3PO
Qui Gon Jinn
Darth Sidious
Ashoka Tano
Plo Koon
Jar Jar Binks

These are in no particular order. And I prefer TCW Anakin. NOT PT Anakin.

My favorites, I am only going to give 5 though.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Not only is the character very well written, it is portrayed in both the new and old trilogies by amazing actors. Alec and Ewan did amazing. Love the snarky humor, the wisdom and confidence.

Palpatine: Tied with Kenobi as my favorite characters of the saga. The writing for this character was, in my view, head and shoulders ahead of other characters. The acting was also well done.

Han Solo: Same as above. Loved the sarcasm and humor.

Chewbacca: Who doesn't love Chewbacca?

C3PO and R2D2: Same as Chewbacca.

I'm thinking of doing a count of this....

You suggest you put every character mentioned from everyone lists up for the count, but put them in order from most-to-least picks. Of course, split off the top ten picked characters from the rest.

10. Jar Jar Binks
9. Lando Calrissian
8. Boba Fett
7. Princess Leia/Padmé Amidala
6. Han Solo
5.Chewbacca/R2-D2/C3PO
4. Yoda
3. Qui Gon Jinn (He should have had a more prominent role)
2. Luke Skywalker
1. Anakin Skywalker or Obi Wan Kenobi (I can't pick they're both too perfect)
Stretches the limits of what one would call a "Top Ten list" but it's not as though anyone will read this far.

I mean "I suggest..." because I some how missed my mistake, twice.

1. Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader (one of my favorite characters in any medium)
2. Palpatine
3. Obi-Wan Kenobi
4. R2D2
5. Count Dooku
6. Yoda
7. Han Solo
8. Padme Amidala
9.Qui-Gon Jinn
10.C3PO

1. Anakin/Vader
2. Palpatine
3. Luke
4. Obi-Wan
5. Yoda
6. Han Solo
7. Mace Windu
8. Leia
9. R2-D2
10. Qui-Gon Jinn

Had Maul on this list, but his recent beat down by Sidious along with him begging for mercy on TCW ruined his mystique in my eyes.

Man, I just like Nute Raygun.

Just because you are a character, doesn't mean you have character. Unless you're Nute.

He should have his own statue and national day of mourning. Wait!

"It's morning in the Republic..."

Random Fact #1:

Before getting into commerce/politics, Nute was a small-time hologram actor.

Random Fact #2:

Before arthritis set in, Nute could play the nose flute, and sometimes, the flose nute.

Random Fact #3:

I'm out of random facts.

HM - Nute Gunray & Padme

Oh man, this is going to be really hard... My list is not in any specific order.

Palpatine/Darth Sidious, Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, Yoda, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Han Solo, R2-D2, and Jango Fett.

Very close honorable mentions go to Leia Organa, C-3PO, Padme Amidala, Count Dooku/Darth Tyrannus , Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian. And probably a ton more.

Hmm, tough one!

Here's my list...

1) Obi-Wan Kenobi
2) Han Solo
3) Qui-Gon Jinn
4) Anakin Skywalker
5) Luke Skywalker
6) Moff Jerjerrod
7) Chancellor Palpatine
8) Jango Fett
9) Leia Organa
10) Commander Cody and his squad

1. Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader
2. Yoda
3. Han Solo
4. Luke Skywalker
5. Obi-Wan Kenobi
6. Darth Maul
7. General Grievous
8. Palpatine
9. Qui-Gon Jinn
10. R2-D2

Ugh wish I could fit Boba Fett in here...and Leia, and Lando. Not to mention Mace Windu and C-3PO.

This topic could have been a top twenty list and I still would have ran out of room.

I wonder if this ever has been (or could be) done as an official forum poll so that we could easily see the rankings?

Impossible, there are too many character and the number of poll options is limited.

1) Luke Skywalker
2) Palpatine
3) Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader
4) Obi-Wan Kenobi
5) Padme Amidala
6) Qui-Gon Jinn
7) Han Solo
8) Leia Organa
9) Yoda
10) Shmi Skywalker

1. The Stormtrooper who falls down the Death Star shaft.
2. The TIE pilot who shot down Porkins
3. The Star Destroyer captain whose bridge is destroyed in the asteroid field
4. The Gungan who zaps Jar Jar
5. The clone in the mess hall who looks around menacingly
6. The rebel soldier who was shot by the AT-AT
7. The Naboo guard who falls of the loading ramp during the assassination attempt
8. The rebel soldier who puts on the Scout Trooper uniform
9. The royal guard that Yoda force slams into the wall (the one on the left only)
10. The first Tusken Raider Anakin beheads

Yeah, that makes sense. Recently starwars.com did a favorite character poll by using a "March Madness"-style bracket system, so I guess that'll have to suffice. I'm sure a lot of people on JCF voted in or at least saw the brackets. I was somewhat surprised that Yoda won over Vader in the final bracket matchup!
