Darth Vader, with Han Solo a distant second.

Bobba Fett was probably my favorite toy figure when I was a kid, the mask and jet pack were sweet but favorite overall character has to be Han Solo.  He was cocky, witty and could park the Millenium Falcon between your cheeks if he needed to.

So many excellent choices here!  I'm with Chewbacca, for his loyalty and courage, even in the face of extreme difficulty with human phonemes.

Emporer Palpatine. I love it when he refers to Luke as "My young apprentice". One of the all-time great villians--pure evil with great power.

I said that was odd b/c my favorite was Jabba-the-Hut-prisoner-Princess Leia.



Yes, the golden bikini is legendary, but I actually preferred the blue ;ady that danced before she got there.

But as far as my FAVORITE Star Wars character? Gotta be Yoda.



If you watch the VHS version, the character that dances before Leia (and then gets eaten), has a "wardrobe malfunction" that was not edited out until later versions in DVD.

Because you wore out the VHS pausing, slow-mo-ing,  and rewinding?

I will now expose yet again my utter geekiness.

1.  my fav has always been Chewie. But ya gotta love Yoda.  Wife got me bobble heads of each as she says they express both sides of my personality.  ;-)

2. It was revealed in the expanded universe novels that Boba Fett actually survived being eaten by the sarlac.  He had gotten so popular they had to figure out a way to bring him back.

3. Wedge actually becomes a huge part of the expanded universe novels and leads the legendary X-Wing "Rogue Squadron," eventually becoming a General in the Republic.

luke skywalker was a pretty shoddy jedi. okay, so he gets off a good shot to take out the death star in episode 4, but he had obi wan riding as his wingman on that one. and then in episode 5, he ignores yoda and bails on his training, doesn't save anyone, and gets his own hand chopped off. if it weren't for his sister, he'd still be hanging on that antennae. and what's he do in episode 6? gives himself over to the emperor and has to get bailed out by pops.

granted, luke got his sh1t together in the Thrawn Trilogy. but again, he had some serious issues in the Dark Empire series.

darth maul would have eaten him for breakfast.

my vote is for boba fett. master bounty hunter and ladies man.

mr2tony - 2010-03-12 8:31 AM Wedge. First, he has a funny name that makes me laugh. Second because he's like `Ensign Johnson' in Star Trek, yet he never dies. I also love how he totally wussed out of the fight in #4, only to come back and get the big kill in #5. Perseverance pays off! R2 is badass because he fears nothing and is always there, like a good buddy who you can always count on. Lando is cool, simply because he's played by Billy Dee Williams, and BDW is schmooooove.


Wedge?! Porkins! Cannon fodder, too funny his plowing it in....ahhhhhhh-boom

Barf hands down...

Oh wait you said Star wars not space balls...

In that case it would have to be Chewbacca. No one ever said so much by saying so little. A close second is R2-D2 followed by Yoda and Han Solo. Luke complained to much for me to like him. Obi Wan was close to the top too but just didn't grab my attention as much.

I have a soft spot for Han Solo. He's not bright, not entirely ethical, but resourceful, brave and loyal. Possibly my favorite scene in all six movies is when Han sees a squad of storm troopers and charges them, yelling. A minute later he is running the opposite direction when the storm troopers realize he is just one idiot with a gun.

And you bet he shot first.

I've got to go with Han Solo.

Also, Boba Fett deserved a better death scene than what he received.

I would've said Darth Vader - -he epitomizes the coll, bad-a$$ villain (and ultimately gets redemption)

but then I saw this

stormtrooper

Not sure which movie, but I'm definitely a fan......
