    I think it's a tie between Mark Hamill and Ian McDiarmaid.

    I think you are right. Mark Hamill loves to be the hero und Ian McDiarmaid loves to play the bad guy :)

    Bingo. This is the answer.

    Mark Hamill will interact, and talk lore with fans at Cons, on social media and other platforms; while Ashley does all the same things she is also co-owner of Her Universe a SW female clothing line after going to SW executives and pitching the idea, I learn more towards Ashley she really is a huge part of my love for the character of Ahsoka Tano

    Mark Hamill for sure. Although I think for the most part all of the heavy hitters aside from Harrison Ford loved their roles

    I think nowadays you can also add Daisy Ridley to the list of SW-actors who like their role. Especially after TROS she made her position clear and didn't jump on the critizising wave against the movie and her role but defended her role in public. Okay, you might say that she did it to stay on the radar of Disney for whatever future movies but I bought her statements. I think it's cool that she appeared to not sink in doubts. Also I think she can be proud of herself. She was good as Rey in my opinion.

    Ian M Diarmid is the obvious answer here.

    I can tell that Joonas really loves playing Chewie but I had to vote for Mark. Just because I keep coming back to the way he felt compelled to speak out about Luke and the writing/treatment for the character in the sequels.

    I'd vote none of them, because it is completely impossible to judge how much another person loves something, much less to compare different peoples love for something.

    Love also shows in completely different ways. Being outspoken about your character, or interacting with fans on social media,or having your own clothing line, doesn't mean you love your character more than someone who is more introverted and does none of those things. You can also love your character but think that you've done everything you could with it, and going further would only make things worse. There simply is no way to measure how much someone loves something unless the person directly tells you. And even if someone does that, it would still not be possible to compare the love of different people.

    Maybe a mirroring thread like “What actor/actress cares the least for his/her figure?“ could follow on this. ^^

    Harrison Ford, Natalie Portman and John Boyega would be ranked kind of highly, I guess...
