    Okay. We know everybody loves the main characters of Star Wars. Darth Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan, Leia, Luke, Mace, Chewie, they're all favorites. But what about the oft-overlooked secondary characters? Even without saying a single word or even being identified, these endearing extras touch our hearts with their simple, nonvocal acting style. So, the big question is: Who's your favorite?

    Rules:

    1. No characters with dialouge or named characters, period. This is the time for the obscure to shine.

    2. Emotional outbursts, like screams, warcries, etc., do not count as 'dialouge'.

    3. Any obscure character works, even if they're not being played by a real actor, like small droids.

    4. Obscurity is key here. The more obscure, the better. However, don't take it too far and make something up.

    As for my favorite, I love that Gungan dude who blows the big horn before the battle between Gungans and droids near the end of Episode I. He sets the tone for the whole battle and lets you know those Gungans mean business.

    So! Who's your favorite?

    That Imperial officer behind Piett and Ozzel during Piett's promotion that looks back towards Vader after he chokes Ozzel.

    i like the clone in AOTC who jumps off the transport with obi and anakin at the hangar, but then somehow gets shot seconds after setting foot on the landing pad.

    Definitely. That and the one who raises his blaster rifle up horizontal to the camera, and you can see the red sand reflected off his helmet...

    That is the moment when you realize how bad a** clone troopers are.

    I have to agree on Ice Cream Maker Guy. Empire wouldn't have been the same without him.

    I also like to two Death Star super laser smokers that you see outside as it fires.

    The officer in ESB that is in one of the holograms talking to Vader in the asteroid field, and the asteroid smashes into the bridge and he dies. I always thought that was funny.

    Or the stormtrooper that hits his head on one of the Death Star doors in ANH! That was funny at first too.

    The Ewoks that hang around with Chewie, and that hang onto Chewie when he swings on the vine to get to the AT-ST and Chewie does his Tarzan growl.

    The silver looking colored 3PO that you can see walking behind R2 and C-3PO on the Tantive IV. Its in the scene when C-3PO says "They just shut down the main reactor. We'll be destroyed for sure. I think thats the scene. My memory is a little foggy, since I havn't watched ANH because the tape wore out.

    Darth Elu,

    "Ice cream maker guy" refers to a character seen in the background during the evacuation of Cloud City in ESB. For some reason, the man appears to be carrying an ice cream maker.

    If I remember correctly, it's actually George Lucas' real life ice cream maker used as a prop in the movie.

    The guy who gets shot in the arena on Geonosis that Obi-Wan kneels next to to check his pulse but finds that he's dead :( I actually love this moment so much I made that guy into a fanfic original character. But for random old joke reasons, my friend and I refer to him by the nickname 'Gus' when we watch the movies :p
