Lucas deserves credit for putting so much effort in the backstory to really explain to us the universe and characters we've come to live. But maybe he tried too hard, the stories were too convoluted, Star Wars fans want fast paced action adventure and instead got more of a really drawn out backstory.

I totally agree with you, it's just I would had titled it differently.
I voted for Ben, Obi-Wan Kenobi. The whole arc of storyline in Star Wars double-trilogy is the Rise, Fall and Redemption of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Ben Obi-Wan is the one that supports the arc of the story. The plot in Stars Wars (the first one aka Episode IV A New Hope) hinges on Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi. The plea of Princess Leia is intrusted to R2-D2 to be given to Ben. Luke Skywalker finds and befriends old Ben. Obi-Wan Kenobi is the one who provides a hint to the prequels that haven't been made yet, in the stories he tells Luke. Obi-Wan is the one who sacrifices himself during a light-saber dual, which was done to help save the Princess. Obi-Wan guides Anakin, then loses him to the Dark Side, then Obi-Wan guides Luke and it's Luke who saves his father, Anakin. So pretty much Obi-Wan is an impotant character. Plus I like the actors Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor.
