Favorite Star Wars character(s)

Post Reply New Topic

Do you have one or two? Mine would have to be Obi-Wan (among those with the Force) and and Han Solo (among those who don't really have much in the way of midichlorions).

Visas Marr, if you count The Old Republic era.

Not even sure (or shir--sorry, I can't get Airplane's "surely" and "Shirley" out of my head right now because of something that is on Facebook) who Visas Marr was.

I like the both the Ewan McGregor version and the Alec Guinness version of Obi-Wan. Great warrior, very wise man.

Me.

Darth Shrox

looks like Visas Marr was not in any of the first three movie episodes? ONLY in the novels?

Which novels and games count as canon?

looks like you made up your Sith name. Um, I don't think that counts.

I've only read three of the novels.

I heard there was a character in the extended Star Wars universe called fraac. Mine came first.

I know I did! No wait, it was given to me by the Emperor...

I have worked in video games and I have some friends that worked on Star Wars franchises. Some games follow canon, some do not. Certainly there are many more ships and weapons in the games.

Many of the older novels (1979-1980's) really messed up canon as well, Luke and Leia even made out in one.

There is also a character with the same name as my ex-wife, Guri. She used to be my favorite, not really anymore...

Visas Marr was a Miraluka from the game Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. I tend to prefer the extended universe stuff despite the movies being most excellent.

Darth Vader is the best, but if I did not choose a villain I would either choose Yoda or a tie between Luke and Han.

Han Solo. How can there be any contest?

Darth Maul

I'm not saying Episode 1 was great, but Maul kicks ass.

I personally wouldn't pick a villain--just don't like them much.

I thought Luke and Anakin were just whiney.

Darth Vader in the black robe and mask were mysterious in the beginning.

My top five (with reasoning):
5. Yoda: Interesting how they first made him appear to be a comic relief, only to reveal him as a wise old character. Since he was more a badass in the prequels, he was probably the only character who works equally well in both trilogies.
4. Princess Leia: Two things caused me to choose her over Amidala. First, Amidala's roles throughout the prequels varied from strong leader to tragic mother-to-be. Leia managed to be a strong-willed character throughout her films and still avoid the trap of being a stagnet character. Secondly, three words: Slave Leia outfit.
3. Darth Vader: Why is he so low? Because the prequel trilogy turned him from a cold-hearted badass into a tragic figure with a fetish for dramatically using the word "no." And don't get me started on the most recent change they made to him on the Jedi Blu Ray.
2. Obi-Wan Kenobi: Played by two different actors which I both like (Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor). Personally, I felt his role in the prequel trilogy was far more central to the story than Vader's, Amidala's, or anyone else's. In regards to marrying the prequel and original trilogies, his transition was the most seamless in my opinion.
1. Han Solo: Easily the most badass character in the whole trilogy. Sure he eventually falls for the girl, but he never realy changes who he is. Even that whole "Greedo shot first" BS doesn't damage the integrity of his character. The fact that Harrison Ford plays him is just a bonus. Han Solo is a boss. Enough said.
