ST Who is your favorite character of the ST?

Definitely Kylo Ren

 

I voted Rey. For me, Ren comes in a close second, followed by Amilyn Holdo, Leia, and Poe. I liked the way Luke, Rose, Finn, and Snoke were portrayed, but I still don't know how to feel about their scenes.

 

This one IS tough. Basically I agree with the idea of progressions and regressions, or at least... not so much regressions but characters you don't necessarily care MORE about than you did before.

For me, Finn is basically about the same, I like him as a character, but he's not a favorite. TLJ didn't do much to change that, for me, even though I DO like him and he has moments where I really like him, I felt the same in TFA. He's not "up there" yet, I guess you'd say.

I was nervous about Kylo before seeing TFA, when I heard "Vader fanboy" and things like that, I thought ugh, this sounds pretty lame. Then I liked him in TFA, but I didn't love him. I love him now in TLJ, he took a big step forward, Adam Driver is just a great actor and I love every nuance of that performance. He does these little things you don't pick up on right away, but as you see the movie again and again and again, you appreciate them even more. It's all there and works.

I also feel like Leia was just there in TFA, I wasn't much of a fan at all, I thought ok, nice to see Carrie back, but... meh, whatever. Then in TLJ she's actually a teacher, she gently nudges Poe in the direction of figuring out for himself that it's not all "rah rah" charge in with guns blazing every single time. I really liked Leia and Carrie's usage in the film, I thought RJ did fantastic, and what a great sendoff for her in my estimation. It was wonderful to see that, given it's her last film, I'm so happy that I feel strongly about it rather than after TFA, where I love the movie but didn't care much about her in it.

Yoda is my overall favorite character, and his lesson was the most valuable to the film, so he's like that supporting actor who only has 8 minutes of screen time but wins the Oscar (only in Yoda's case it's like 90 seconds). You can come in for one scene and make a huge difference, which... it's Yoda... that's exactly what he does, of course!

Rey is my favorite character of the sequel trilogy. I guess I'm surprised to learn some people don't like her arc, or whatnot, because I love Rey. Then again I was a Luke guy in the OT, not Han, so I've always gravitated towards the main protagonist of the trilogy I think. Rey is the one character where I would like to see a bit more about her in IX, though, because I'm ok with her being awesome and extremely powerful, but I wish we'd get even something like Luke or Yoda explaining something more about what an "awakening" means and how her powers grew so fast. I can buy into it without explanation, I won't be let down, but I'd enjoy knowing a bit more about why Rey is so powerful, at least.

 

I'm biased...but I had to go with Yoda, especially since I wasn't remotely expecting to see him!

 

Luke & Leia (+R2)

 

Kylo Ren because he's the only character that didn't crack a joke.

 

Luke
Leia
Ben

 

Ugh, I do not know why I voted for Rey in this poll!

 

Luke, Rey and Ben were the best characters in this episode IMO, but i enjoyed all the other characters too (even if Finn was less important in this one, but Poe took a bigger part). For the supporting roles i especially like DJ, i thought he was an interesting and colourful character even if i dont think we'll see him again. Leia had a more solid part to play than in TFA and it was a very nice surprise.

 

Luke for sure but big ups to Hux, who was consistently hilarious.

 

Who was your favorite character in the OT?

 

Finn. consistently my favourite ST character, and it didn't hurt that he has the best line of the movie...

Phasma: "You were always scumb."
Finn: "Rebel scumb!"

 

Snoke

Had to vote for Ben

He was such a better character in this film and I hope he only gets better in IX

 

Luke!!!!

Let's rank them, to make it more interesting:

1. Luke (amazing)
2. Kylo (great)
3. Poe (awesome)
4. Rey (still good)
5. Hux (smart, funny, cool)
6. Leia (great performance, such a strong woman)
7. Snoke (scary)
8. Yoda (great message)
9. Finn (pretty pointless)
10. Rose (no interest)

 

1. Kylo
2. Luke
3. Yoda
4. Rey
5. Snoke
6. Holdo
7. Leia
8. Hux
9. Finn
10. Rose
11. Poe

 

I agree Holdo is up there for me too. Curious to why you don't like Poe though. Lower than Finn and Rose??

"How is that possible?"

 

Poe killed Luke Skywalker.

 

Interesting take. How?

 

His recklessness allowed the FO to track the Resistance to Crait. Luke died after Force Projecting to Crait in order to allow them escape.

But this isn't the thread for that conversation.

 

Luke. He's always been my favorite, and he was great in this film. I especially loved his talk with Yoda, and of course his time on Crait.

 

"Of Stick, Of Berry, Of LIfesaver" Oh, those were the days.
After I realized I saw what I was seeing, I said "Blue Yoda!" like I did during ROTS when Yoda appeared via hologram.
