Most popular SW character of all time

[Dark_Raven]

Mara Jade for a recent SW.

Nomi Sunrider is a favorite from a long time ago.

As an aside, while I don't have a specific hands-down favourite character, I do have a hands-down most hated character... and that would be Borsk Fey'lya. He is the reason I have come to hate all Bothans.

Ok well, I can understand that, but I think he would have to come in second. Please tell me he's better then Rosh Penin (Forgive my language)

luke is the most popular.

[jodo kast 5]

Luke. He showed us that even a simple farmboy can become something great if he puts his mind and heart into it. That and his current form aswell as DE form would beat Revan.

That was actually a result of being the son of the chosen one which gave him a medeclorian level possibley close to or equel to that of vaders. And let's not start a revan debate.

 

Anyway I think if you ask pretty much anyone who luke skywalker is the would know who he is. I think he is the most popular.

Maybe five years ago, Luke Skywalker. But since Anakin came along, Luke/Anakin are mistaken for each other by the younger crowd. Put somoene in donut buns and they instantly know it's Princess Leia. So, the cake goes to Leia here.

don't forget the slave outfit.

[Pidesco]

Darth Vader is Star Wars. One just needs to block out the disaster that was Anakin in the prequels.

[WinterSun]

They should've got James Earl Jones to read out Anakins lines, and then dubbed them over Hadyn Christiansen. His spoilt brat routine would've been a lot less annoying that way.

They looked more like cinnamon rolls to me

[thepixiesrock]

Yeah seriously, donut buns? Come on.

[mandalorianx]

list: Revan!!!!!!!!!!

 

Other:Quinlan Vos

[Emperor_Palpatine]

Im going to have to say Palpy. The whole conflict revolves around him in the movies. I know, you are going to say " Nuh uh! Revan PWNS the palpster"Well, did revan have a whole trilogy x 2 made around him and his doings ? NO

If you are to pick someone that the 6 movies revolve around, Anakin/Vader is an infinitely better choice.

 

How can you say the whole conflict revolves around him in the movies, when he doesn't even appear in one of them, and in another one of them he only shows up for a brief moment to listen to Vader's report on the Executor.

 

The movies were not made around Palpatine, no matter how much you may think Palpatine is the best. Palpatine's roles were ancillary to a great number of characters in the Star Wars movies.

 

 

And there's no way a video game character is going to come close to the most popular Star Wars character of all time. I guarantee that the vast majority of people that have seen the Star Wars movies, have no idea what the heck Knights of the Old Republic even is.

 

Given the nostaligic factor of the original movies, and how they set the standard by which all others would be judged, I'd have to pick someone from the original Trilogy.

 

I'd probably go with one of Luke (he is pretty much the hero of the OT), Vader (the antagonist, and an all round badass), or Han (scores huge points because he's played by Harrison Ford, hence turns in a decent performance. He's also a scoundrel who, while isn't a bad person, plays by his own rules. He oozes charisma and has a definite swagger about him).

 

Honorable mention could go to Obi-Wan, because IMO his stock skyrocketted after the new trilogy. Which isn't too surprising, given that he, along with Natalie Portman, were far and away the best actors in the original Trilogy. Unfortunately for Portman, her character wasn't written all that well.

[Xard]

Movies are about Anakin

[alanschu]

I'd actually say the movies are about the Skywalkers, as Luke is definitely the focus of the original trilogy.

[Calax]

Movies are about Anakin

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

from a certain point of view... if you view them from Episode I-VI strait... but if you view them IV-VI-I-III then it's ultimatly lukes story.

[Xard]

I remember that in some interview GL said that movies are about Anakin.

[alanschu]

It's easy to say that because Anakin is actually able to be in all of them.

 

I heard the same thing too, and I don't entirely disagree.

 

But it's clear that the original trilogy revolves around Luke. During breaks in the action we don't see to much of Vader chilling on the Executor, but Luke training in Degobah, or Luke rescuing his friend Han on Tatooine. Luke destroys the Death Star, and defeats the badass Vader.

[Xard]

Indeed, I think that GL came up with "Anakin's story" with prequels

[vaxen83]

Either Carth or Atton. While both had flaws, they also had strengths in being serious about certain things when necessary.

[alanschu]

You think either Carth or Atton is the most popular Star Wars character?

[Krookie]

The question was who's your favorite SW Character, not most popular.

[Xard]

"Most popular SW character of all time, Vote now!"

 

hmm...

[the_all_powerful_mike]

Grand Admiral Thrawn will likely pwn just about everything in site.
