    2. General Grievous
    3. Embo
    4. Bossk
    5. Aayla Secura
    6. Cad Bane
    7. Boba Fett
    8. Han Solo
    9. Obi-Wan Kenobi
    10. Shaak Ti

    1. Ganner Rhysode
    2. Kreia/Darth Traya
    3. Gar Stazi
    4. Jacen Solo (Pre Denningverse)
    5. Boba Fett (Pre Denningverse)
    6. Scout
    7. Zayne Carrick and Marn Hierogryph
    8. Atton Rand
    9. Count Dooku
    10. Desann
    I know there are technically 11 characters on this list, but Zayne and Gryph are greatest when they are together, kind of the Star Wars equivalent of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser. What makes them shine is their partnership and separating them really diminishes both characters, as exemplified by the exceptionally dull KOTOR: War miniseries.

    Heroes.

    1. Luke Skywalker. He is the hero in the original trilogy I love how he shows signs of perhaps falling to the dark side but ultimatelly he does not.
    2. Obi wan kenobi. I like him better in the prequal trilogy but he is pretty awesome in ANH aswell.
    3. Qui Gone Jinn. I like his self reliant nature he always knows what he wants and always gets what he wants as a result of trusting in his of judgement rather then others. He might seem a little arrogant but I like a character who knows what he wants and is not afraid of apposing other peoples judgements even when he has no support from others.
    4.Anakin Skywalker. I dont care much for him in AOTC but I like him in ROTS and ROTJ he is also great in the EU material,
    5.Leia Princess. I dont think that every female character has to be a strong role model but Leia was quite unusuall for her time remember the first star wars film was made in 1977 and back then strong female leads were not to commen
    6.Padme Amidala. Like how she has a warm gentle side to her aswell as a strong serious authority side to her. Although I think this was intentional so people would not figure out that Padme was the same person as Amidala
    7.R2-D2 Not much of a personality her but he makes up for it by being proactive in every singel movie he is in.
    8.Jar-Jar binks. He is actually really usefull in TPM and unlike most people I actually think he is funny.
    9.C3PO. Somebody had to translate for the Ewoks if they were going to help the rebels.
    10. Alpha A-17. Badass clone enough said.

    Villains.

    1.The emperor. He is behind every evil in all six films.
    2.Darth Vader. The Empires number one space pilot need I say more.
    3.Darth Plaguise the wise. He is the catalyst for pretty much everything happening in all the six films.
    4.General Muff Tarkin. He is such a cold hearted pyschopath.
    5.Naut Gunray. If you have not noticed it he is the only person in the six film saga who has any character development while still reemaining a villain. By that I mean that he goes from a greedy opertunist to somebody who has a personal vendetta against Amidala.
    6.General Grevious. Not much to say about him in ROTS but he has the most interesting back story in the EU as far as movie character are concerned.
    7.Lord Tyrannous. Intresting back story he was a good villain for AOTC and ROTS.
    8.Darth Maul. I almost consider him the precursor to the Orc general in the first lord of the rings movie dark skin, war painted, yellow eyes kills one of the main characters. Although I preffer Maul.
    9.Boba Fett he is pretty much the reason for half the stuff happening in ROTJ.
    10. Jango Fett. He is like a more dangerous and skilled
    Boba Fett unless you count the EU material.

    Hmm ... well - I do happen to be intrigued BY THE FORCE of these individuals and I have to be compelled to put down more than 10 on the list ... - not in order BUT:

    1.) Rahm Kota - tough no-nonsense Jedi Master veteran and one of them Jedi whom didn't use Clone Troopers...
    2.) Starkiller - Galen Marek - putting over-ratedness aside - consider he did have quite some potential and he did redeem himself somewhat and helped start the Rebel Alliance...
    3.) Dash Rendar - well an anti-hero mercenary ...
    4.) General Grievous - enough said ....
    5.) Cad Bane - also enough said ;)
    6.) Surprisingly ... THE ZILLO BEAST! As a Godzilla Big-G Gojira aficionado since the age of 2 and seeing how the Zillo Beast is a homage to the Kaiju King ;) ...
    7.) Captain Rex - afterall he is still kicking ass in Rebels :)
    8.) Darth Plagueis - need I not mention next to being Palpatine's Sith Master, Mentor and an Esoteric and Mysterious yet Powerful Sith Scholar of the Midichlorians ;) ...
    9.) BRAND! >:D Afterall in the EU comics Dark Empire he did sacrifice himself to stop Palpatine for good :)
    10.) Kar Vastor - Mace Windu's Ghosh Windu Clanbrother and yet the fact he developed Peletokan - or the Force at Haruun Kal on his own with no training, intervention, help, food, water and all the whilst the Jungle Justice to survive ...
    11.) Commander Cody :) Our loyal crisp Clone Commander :)
    12.) Bossk ... our tough-ass beloved Trandoshan Merc...
    13.) Darth Nihlus - didn't 'Give a Force' about the Sith ...
    14.) DURGE! >:D - practically a Hulk/Doomsday/Wolverine like Brute with the smarts and experience to match ...
    15.) K'Krukh - he's practically a VETERAN like Master Yoda ... he don't need to be nearly 1000 years old to experience the Galactic to the Galactic Triumvirate eh?
    16.) Gar Stasi :) Another Duros I like and with the leadership comparable to Ackbar ...
    17.) Do various Battledroids count? So like the Self-Motivated-Heuristic-Programmed-Humaniform-Automatic-Combat Droids aka the IG-100 Magnaguards or Droid Commandos count?
    18.) Walon Vau - a tough hard-boiled no-nonsense Mandalorian Merc and hard to read ...
    19.) DELTA SQUAD - particularly CC-1140 - Fixer :)
    20.) Marka Ragnos - SITH EMPEROR!
    21.) Freedon Nadd - he does have a similar story in a sense to Anakin at times ... and the fact he was the Sith Ruler of Onderron ...
    22.) Naga Sadow ...
    21.) Jango Fett - I dunno - I just like him better than Boba Fett ...
    22.) EMBO - another tough-ass bounty-hunter and practically he could hold off on his own ;)
    23.) Count DOOKU! Afterall - he did really want a better Republic ... perhaps he was abit too arrogant and too expectant ...
    24.) The Revanchist!
    25.) Bastila Shan
    26.) LEIA :D And now that Disney bought Star Wars - they should really count Leia as a Disney Princess ...
    27.) Darth Andeddu - Essence Transfer is the Life is it Not?
    28.) King Katuunko - well Watto may be an example of a Toydarian but alteast King Katuunko wasn't always motivated by greed or credits ...
    29.) Prince Xizor - afterall one of the wealthiest heads of the Galaxy and of Black Sun ...
    30.) Commander Bly - dunno 'WHY' haha :)
    31.) Surprisingly Wat Tambor; well most of the Separatists are morons and greedy idiots but then again Wat Tambor was stated to have been capable at times of fending off for himself - better than say Nute Gunray ...
    32.) Sly Moore - she's a 'SLY' one ...
    33.) Admiral Trench - the fact how he survived being tricked by Anakin ...
    34.) Kul Teska - Skakoan Mercenary ...
    35.) Mon Mothma! Mother and the Heart and Soul of the Rebellion :)
    36.) Salacious Crumb surprisingly - as he is a tricky Monkey-Lizard :)
    37.) Various members of Master Yoda's species - some whom served as prominent Jedi Masters :)
    38.) Moralo Eval - I dunno WHY but then again he did plan a plot to kidnap Palpatine and set The Box ...
    39.) Tarfful - I like Chewie BUT Tarfful afterall had been 'fighting Trandoshan slavers for years...'
    40.) Darth Sion ... a walking talking Angry Sith Corpse of a Mummy practically ...
    41.) Clone Commander 1138 BAKARA >:D - using just pure wit and skill when his prototype armor suit's weapons malfunctioned he and his team took down Super Battle Droids ...
    42.) Dexter! Our beloved Besalisk Diner and 'the guy who can get you information :)'
    43.) CHEWIE! Enough said :)
    44.) Mara Jade Skywalker :)
    45.) The Jedi Exile ....
    46.) Clone Commander Gree :)
    47.) I suppose Echo and Fives ...

    Oh the list goes on beyond the 47 I like here haha!

    1. Grand Admiral Mitth'raw'nuruodo (Thrawn)- the ultimate tactical genius, and the only man (or alien) who refused orders given by the Emperor on multiple occasions
    2. Starkiller/Galen Marek - The only person to so utterly defeat Darth Vader... oh yeah, he also sucked up lightning and shot it at Vader
    3. Darth Vader - the ultimate iconic villain
    4. Darth Maul - highly underused villain with huge potential
    5. Mara Jade Skywalker - Luke's wife and also the woman assigned to assassinate him (can you say a 180?)
    6. Count Dooku - brought class to the villains of the PT
    7. Jango Fett - father and DNA supplicant for Boba Fett, supreme bounty hunter
    8. Commander Cody - ROTS's clone general, stoic and loyal
    9. Grand Moff Willhelm Tarkin - The only man besides the Emperor who can both give Vader orders (and not die), and also refers to Vader as "my friend"
    10. Revan/grey knights - I like the idea of balance of the "light" side and "dark" side

    Yikes, the first half came easily enough but the second half was tough to pin down.

    1. Dr. Silas Tagge
    2. Baron Orman Tagge
    3. Grand Moff Trachta
    4. General Cassio Tagge
    5. Admiral Conan Antonio Motti
    6. Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin
    7. Obi-Wan Kenobi
    8. Emperor Palpatine
    9. Oola
    10. Jabba the Hutt

    As you might gather, a) the DS-1 conference room and Jabba's Palace are some of my favorite scenes in the OT; and b) the original Marvel Star Wars run and Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison are my favorite comics. :) I'm big on baddies, especially goofy, hammy, sarcastic, and/or flamboyant ones. Striking costuming/hair and species design helps, too.

    10. The Jedi Exile/Meetra Surik

    8. Bria Tharen
    7. Winter Retrac/Celchu
    6. Corran Horn
    5. Tahiri Veila
    4. Thrawn
    3. Aayla Secura
    2. Atton Rand
    1. Anakin Solo

    I gotta give honorable mentions to Revan, Darth Sion, Jaina Solo, Mirax Horn, Ben Skywalker, Ailyn Vel. Ikrit, Natasi Daala, Canderous Ordo, Celeste Morne, Kit Fisto, Quinlan Vos, Zayne Carrick and Teneniel Djo. (Yes, I'm aware thats A LOT of honorable mentions, but I just love the EU so much, and it has so many rich characters - these are just the ones off the top of my head!! :p)

    Luke-because he's the most powerful Jedi to ever live
    Obi-Wan-because he's f'n Obi-Wan
    Anakin Solo-because he SHOULD have been the next chosen one
    Mara Jade-not nearly as powerful as Luke, but still every bit as dangerous. ROFLSTOMPED Caedus, until he played dirty
    Corran Horn-despite lacking basic telepathic abilities, he was still pretty much Luke's right hand man. An amazing duelist.

    Darth Vader-because, duh
    Darth Bane-he laid the groundwork
    Darth Sidious-as wise as he was powerful
    Darth Zannah-probably equal to Obi-Wan in dueling, and scary as hell with her sorcery
    Darth Caedus-because he's so freaking powerful
