Palpatine.

I can't pick just yet. It has to be Han, Darth or Yoda though.

You know. It's amazing how even the most insignificant Star Wars characters have very well detailed Wikipedia entries.

The Star Wars universe is always expanding.

I'll even admit that some of the characters from the new trilogy are pretty badass, like Grievous, Mace Windu and Count Dooku.

I personally don't think the new Star Wars films were that bad, what ruined them was the fact that Lucas didn't get better actors to play Anakin (why George, why?) and Padme and there was just way too much dialogue between them. Oh and Jar Jar.

Aside from them though, the other characters in the new trilogy were pretty interesting I must admit, and at least Ewan McGregor was good as Obi-Wan.

People should realize that polls are for your serious choice and posts are for your sarcastic choice. Admiral Ackbar my ass... I voted for Han, he provides a great antithesis of the seriousness of all the other characters in the epic tale. He also looked cool and made out with Princess Leia :D

The rock in episode three. The most interesting thing in the whole bloody lot. Yes i'm trolling.

^ And that's why Ackbar is in the poll.

None of these choices are "sarcastic", not even Wedge, sure the guy had like 5 lines, but he did play a big role in the defeat of the empire, he even has a whole series of books about him, and he was the main character in the Rogue Squadron video games, so the guy has his fans.

Sorry Boo Boo, I am just pulling the LOTR card. I find that trilogy better personally.

That is awesome...but Vader is my favorite character.

Wedge rules and he's Ewan Mcgregors uncle also

I know you're placement of him in the poll wasn't sarcastic, but I'll be damned if people aren't going to be voting for him just because of "It's a trap!", as someone already has <_<

I have a feeling this joke will be lost on some.

Ok, I think that's enough.

IT'S A BITH BITCH!

Me too, but Star Wars is fun.

And my choice wasn't sarcastic, I think Emperor Palpatine is a great character.

emperor palpatine is a great character....he was easily one of the best things about the prequels.

blah, blah, blah...focus. Blah, blah, blah...Dark Side. But seriously I love Ian McDiarmand(sp). I think he should have gotten an oscar nomination for Revenge of the Sith.

Lando Calrissian is my nigga!

Chewbacca is my Wookie!

Lando Calrissian is the clear winner for me. He's got the cool rogue thing going on like Han Solo but he's so much smoother. Plus he has a great character arc over the course of the two movies he's in.

I thought Ewan McGregor had a better performance, but I don't think either deserved an Oscar. Star Wars movies don't generally show as much emotional depth as most movies nominated for Oscars, it's more about the plot than character development.

I like that overweight guy in the y-wing

"Gold leader gold leader ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Classic.

I think his name was Porkins or something like that. He must have had a rough childhood.

OMG, I was right. His name was Jek Porkins. What a name for a fat guy to go through life with.

I think he's actually the same actor who played the "we have top men working on it" guy from Raiders of the Lost Ark too.

[/dork]

haha nice, I thought he flew a y-wing in the movie though.

Han Solo is the only arsehole i could aspire to be like.

I really like Darth Vader, he is like this big evil dude, with a tragic story, and killer soundtrack. too bad they ruined him with the prequels.

Darth Vader was such a badass in the original trilogy.

And then what do they do? They turn him into an annoying brat in episode 1, an emo pussy in episode 2, and a c0cky punk in episode 3. At least he started getting badass in episode 3. That fight with Obi Wan was pretty sweet.

You know, I'll be honest. I thought the prequels were great as backstory films, explaining everything we wanted to know, though sometimes they explained too much (seriously, the force is just some particles in your bloodstream?) and while I thought the stories overall were good. What kept the films from being great was the poor miscast acting from Christensen and Portman, and the fact that the trilogy focused way too much on their relationship, putting that and Jar Jar aside though, I still think they were decent films.

Admiral Ackbar all the way. i mean come on, a fish headed man in a bright white suit with an accent like that, everyone use to talk about him back then.

I like when he gestures with his floppy red flipper hand.

only more of a reason to love him :p:

I never really got the appeal of Star Wars. Although I've only watched A New Hope and Attack of the Clones. They all seemed really cheesy to me.

Finally, someone else sees it my way :D

And Fruitonica... I guess if you didn't like A New Hope you wouldn't like any of them. Although a lot of people still love the movies, including me, I can see how other people would find it dated and cheesy. But Star Wars, alongside Jaws, brought the movie industry back to it's feet in 1977.

Hint: It's supposed to be kind of cheesy. The whole series is intended as a modernized homage to old sci-fi serials like Flash Gordon, which were extremely cheesy. That's why fans of the Star Wars movies have conversations about hilarious shit like how floppy Admiral Ackbar's flipper hand was in Return of the Jedi or Luke whining about wanting to picking new power converters in A New Hope.

Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope
Return of the Jedi
Revenge of the Sith

Attack of the Clones
Phantom Menace

In that order.
