    Interesting topic!

    I'll just list like the top 10 or so major characters:

    Anakin: ROTS
    Yoda: ESB (although I loved him in AOTC as well.)
    Luke: ESB
    Leia: ANH
    Han: SOLO (Don't kill me!)
    Obi Wan: ROTS (Although AOTC is close-Again, don't kill me!)
    3PO and R2: ANH (Of course)
    Padme: AOTC
    Palpatine: ROTS
    Darth Vader: ROTJ
    Lando: ESB

    I based this off of their influence/relevancy to the plot, combined with their performances. I didn't include any of the ST characters, simply cos I'd want to wait till TROS comes out to make a final judgement on those ones.

    My list with brief reasonings:

    Anakin Skywalker: ROTS (he's a true tragic hero in this film and I always feel torn up by his fall to the Dark Side)
    Darth Vader: ESB (Vader is at his most coldly intimidating and calculating in this film)
    Luke Skywalker: ROTJ (Luke reaches the height of his spiritual wisdom in this film)
    Han Solo: ANH (I love his evolution from man out for himself to guy who goes back to save his friends and begins to care about a cause greater than himself)
    Leia: ANH (she seems to be at her fiercest and feistiest in this film-love it!)
    Obi-Wan Kenobi: ROTS (we get to see him as a heroic Jedi but also with traces of that patient wisdom that shone through in the OT)
    Chewbacca: ESB (Chewie's reactions to Han getting frozen in carbonite steal the show)
    R2-D2: ANH (he gets to really shine when he is carrying the Death Star plans, showing Leia's message, and running away from the Lars farm to find Obi-Wan)
    C-3P0: ROTJ (he gets to be an Ewok god in this film)
    Yoda: ESB (he shows both his impish and spiritually wise side in this film)
    Palpatine: ROTS (we get to see the details of his cunning manipulation of Anakin to the Dark Side)
    Lando: ESB (his motivations are best developed in this film)
    Padme Amidala: TPM (love how she fights for her people in the Senate and on the battlefield)
    Mace Windu: ROTS (he plays a larger role and we can understand his motivations)
    Rey: TFA (she's fierce, independent, and making friends in this film)
    Kylo Ren: TLJ (tries to give him depth; sometimes that works; sometimes that falls flat)
    Finn: TFA (shows some of his humor and bravery; gives him more of an arc)
    Poe: TFA (gives him charisma and courage; doesn't portray him with sudden onset sexism)

    ...So, in my post above I mentioned I'd wait till the ST closes out before I list those characters. Well, here we go:

    Rey: TFA
    Kylo Ren: TROS
    Luke: TLJ (Based on actor performance, NOT character writing choices)
    Leia: TLJ
    Finn: TFA
    Poe: TROS

    Not including Snoke since he was offed without much exposition. Also I'd say Palpatine's performance here rivals that of ROTS. To me, Rose and Hux weren't big enough characters to mention.
