Top 20 Star Wars Characters

Top 20 Star Wars Characters

Last Updated:: June 12, 2008

Anyone visiting Old-Wizard.com must know that the three original Star Wars movies are some of our favorite movies of all time. Our appreciation does not always end in satisfied acquiescence though, as debate quickly occurs about what the best movie in the series is. Another debate that manifests itself in our nerdy Star Wars discussions is who our favorite characters are in the series. You’ll know if someone is a true Star Wars nerd by the fact that they immediately choose a minor character as their favorite. Wedge and Lando are typically immediate responses from the authentic Star Wars nerd. No one would be caught dead actually saying that Luke was their favorite character for fear of being ostracized from the Star Wars community. It’s as if you weren’t aware of all the discrete information in the Star Wars series by picking someone so obvious. With this in mind, we thought it important to not write just a “Top 10 Star Wars characters” list, but a “Top 20″ list so we could do justice to the not so obvious choices that are often ironically overlooked. Without further ado, here is our Star Wars list for nerds and faux-nerds alike.

20. Wicket

We meet Wicket in “Return of the Jedi” on the forest moon of Endor. Wicket is certainly one of the most lovable creatures in the Star Wars series from the first moment we see him when he is afraid of Leia trying to give him food. Leia who had been knocked off a speeder is left alone on the forest moon of Endor, only to find the moon’s indigenous species hiding in the trees. Wicket approaches her first with an arrow, making you wonder what this little creature could actually do for damage. After this bashful sequence with each other, Wicket warms up to Leia plopping himself on the branch she is on, and eats the food she is offering him. He ends up saving the rest of the rebel alliance from becoming food for the other Ewoks when he takes Leia back to their village. Wicket comes across as the leader of his specific Ewok group at times, and at other times, a clumsy novice at organization and war craft. We all remember when he tried to knock a storm trooper off his transporter with a rock tied to a rope, only to swing it in his own face! Ouch…We also remember the sonorous noise he made when trying to quietly walk around trespassed areas. These characteristics make Wicket into a remembered character in the Star Wars series and one of the most hotly purchased action figures in the Star Wars toy market. Trying to have fuzzy little creatures declare war on species 4 times their size and far more technologically advanced proved to be an ingenious paradox in Return of the Jedi, that made for laughter along with sympathy at the site of these David and Goliath scenes.

19. Wuher “The Bartender”

Wuher was “The Bartender” who worked on Tatooine who we meet when Luke and Obi-Wan look to have a couple minutes of repose in the local slimy bar. This bar was full of the worst of the planetary thugs smoking their outer space haze and drinking only the most average alcohol from Wuher. Wuher had a strong command of his bar which we see when Luke and Obi try to enter into the bar with R2D2 and C3PO. We all remember the fastidious roar of Wuher when he says “Hey! We don’t serve their kind here!”, referring to his inexorable rules of having no droids in his bar. Even the Jedi and the Jedi in training follow the rules of the supreme bartender. Wuher, also showed a blithe placidity, when he witnessed a fight between Luke and a Patron where the Patron carpingly bothered Luke by saying “I don’t like you!”, “He doesn’t like you!” “NOBODY LIKES YOU!” eventually much to the dismay and life of the patron. All this happened without any attrition to Wuher. After the fight scene, Wuher continues making drinks and the bar follows suit in their voluptuous activities. On that same day, Han kills a bounty hunter who is after him in Wuher’s bar, without the slightest disturbance in the mood of the bar. Wuher owned this bar. People would face threats argue and fight throughout the long hours of the bar’s work week. For Wuher, there was only one rule for his bar. NO DROIDS ALLOWED!

18. Chewbacca

Chewbacca is always a favorite among younger Star Wars fans. He’s not for us. Throughout the movies he’s often moaning at the smallest of perceived slights, and crying at the tasks handed to him by Han. Nonetheless, Chewbacca defines much of what Star Wars is about; A character of pure imagination with more hair than a girl from Woodstock and more personality than a late night TV show host. In other words, an always unique character that would be remembered for a long time to come. Chewbacca is always a main character throughout the Star Wars series, most of the time as the sidekick of Han Solo. While Chewbacca seems to bitch at everything that Han wants him to do, he eventually finishes his tasks set to him. Chewbacca while not being the most efficient of Star Wars creatures, makes up for his laziness in his momentary anger where he’s always willing to defend his master to the death, and even pick up the broken parts of an annoying droid, exemplifying a big inner heart to match the actual physical size of this beast. Chewbacca’s trademark roar has been parodied by everything in modern TV culture from Peter in “Family Guy”, to the late infamous “Tourettes Guy” which you can find on Youtube when in need of a laugh at the expense of others. Love him or loathe him, Star Wars would not be Star Wars without Chewbacca. For a time, he is everyone’s favorite character, until the time when one has to prove his Star Wars nerdhood by appreciating much smaller, lesser-known characters, like Wuhr the bartender.

17. Porkins “Red Six”

Porkins, also known as “Belly Runner”, and “Piggy”, was the hefty hero of A New Hope shadowing Luke and Wedge in the dogfight near the first Death Star. We only witness the brave heavyweight in a small section of A New Hope as his valence led him to stay in the battle at the Death Star even when his ship’s stabilizers were damaged and his shields were about to break. There is often speculation concerning other reasons for his Y-Wing’s failure in battle revolving around his being too heavy for the craft itself. Fat jokes aside, Porkins knew his ship couldn’t stand any more damage but stayed in the battle anyways, proving his dauntless fortitude in the face of death. Porkins is most well known to the Star Wars nerd for his persistence in battle, solidified in the dictum often mistakenly attributed to him, “Stay on target…Stay on target…”. Unfortunately, Porkins became the target of a gunner on the Death Star and was the first of the many pilots in the rebel alliance to suffer at the hands of the Empire in the final battle of A New Hope. We at Old-Wizard salute Porkins for his intrepidness and would never stereotype the quality of character of someone who is obese after witnessing Porkins in this Star Wars installment.

16. Greedo

Greedo, like Boba Fett, was a bounty hunter after Han Solo’s life who we meet for approximately 1 minute in A New Hope. So why is he in our top 20 list of Star Wars characters of all time? Is it because he looks like squalid space alien that would best serve as the worst Halloween costume on the block? No. Is it because his suction cup fingers prove once again to be an overpowering afflatus on the Star Wars maker’s parts? Wrong again. Greedo is in our list because he is the first character to make Han Solo look cool. We all remember Greedo telling Han to pay up…or else, much to Hans chagrin, and eventually to Greedo’s life as Han pulls out his blaster from underneath the table and shoots Greedo causing a state of calamity, just for a moment (remember, we’re in Wuher’s bar now where this stuff happens all the time). Greedo gives Han his first appearance as a swarthy outer space thug who would not put up with all the bounty hunters after his life. Han will eventually pay Jabba, but if you try to rush him, you’ll suffer Greedo’s fate. Much controversy would follow this scene as we see from the 1997 re-release of the film where Greedo shoots a missed shot at Han first, much to the dismay of Star Wars nerds around the world. Cries of “sell out” could be heard on Star Wars message boards across the web. The SW nerds liked their Han as he was, which means a once licentious thug who would slowly become much more affable and good natured throughout the series. Greedo was the character to start Han’s development from his abject roots.

15. Uncle Owen

Uncle Owen, or Owen Lars, which we never hear him named, was Luke’s foster father. Owen was a highly important moisture farmer on Tatooine who we meet from the beginning of episode 4 before the Empire destroys the area in hopes of finding information stored in the brave little R2 unit. Uncle Owen did not approve much of Luke’s lifestyle, from his want to see other planets, to his more simple wants of “going to the Tashi station to pick up power converters”. Of course, we know that Owen was just looking out for his wide-eyed nephew, trying to keep him from getting into too much danger with the knowledge of old Ben Kenobi around the corner and a recent outerspace war occurring just some years ago involving some of his own family. Owen was stern and efficient, having his mind on the quality of farming seasons over and above any puerile desires for galactic adventure games that may have been in his own blood. No viewers of Star Wars ever liked Uncle Owen because he reminded them of their own parent’s authority. What type of contumacy must have evolved in anyone who was stopped from picking up power converters is unquestionably certain. Luke however, needed to be raised somewhere, for sometime, in the confines of solitude and repose, so he could eventually become the Jedi he became. With this in mind, Uncle Owen has to be on the top 20 list regardless of Star Wars fans obstinacy for authority.

14. Admiral Akbar

Admiral Akbar was another impressive character only possible in the imagination of Lucas and the Star Wars creators. We first meet this heroic fish in “Return of the Jedi” as the commander of the allied forces in their fight to extirpate the almost-rebuilt Death Star. Akbar embodied the leadership qualities and spirited rhetoric of a Winston Churchill, while maintaining a uniqueness only reserved to a “fish out of the water”. Akbar is clearly most popular in the obsessive Star Wars fan circles, especially with his unforgettable quotes throughout Return of Jedi like “Our cruisers can’t repel firepower of that magnitude!” said with the type of urgency that made viewers believe that they were in the battle themselves. Akbar, while seeming overtly intense in the actual battle itself, proved to be equally placid in times before and after the battle where we witness the erudite fish in modes of absolute philosophical repose. Admiral Akbar, like many characters in the Star Wars series epitomized someone that everyone could aspire too, regardless of species and respitory systems. He would go on to have his fame augmented in subsequent novels in the Star Wars series, but more than anywhere, Akbar was first and foremost known for his quality of character shown in The Return of the Jedi. “All craft, prepare to jump into hyperspace on my mark!”

13. C-3PO

C-3PO was always conspicuously homoerotic (not that there’s anything wrong with that!). C-3PO was also excessively worrisome and carping at times. But C-3PO was more tolerably annoying, and even sometimes more welcomingly annoying, than the kind of annoying that embodied playing Dreamcast for example. Many Star Wars fans love to hate 3PO, but they often forget the intellectual and technical skill of this protocol droid who knew “over 6 million forms of communication” and served over 40 masters in all discursive tasks put to him. Even with all of 3PO’s technical proficiencies, he never boasted himself as highly important, often being heard by his masters as saying “I do not overrate my importance! I daresay I am the most humble droid I know!”. Surely, what one of us, who knew over 6 million languages, would not be overtly prideful of this exorbitant skill. Some of the more entertaining dialogues throughout Star Wars came from 3PO and R2-D2, where all we knew of what R2-D2 was saying were 3PO’s interpretations. What we gathered from the substance of their conversations was mostly R2-D2 making fun of 3P0, much to 3PO’s chagrin, as he was commonly taken back by R2-D2’s apparent impertinence. Love him or hate him, C-3PO was absolutely an essential figure throughout Star Wars, even if his character played the role of someone you would commonly be piqued by in real life. Star Wars could never limit itself to ideal characters, making Star Wars ascend beyond what’s normally understood as “ideal”. Accept that the world will be full of 3PO’s, and you’ll start to see their importance too.

12. Jabba the Hutt

What a character Jabba the Hutt was. Only in the imagination of George Lukas could something so bawdy and amorphous manifest itself. This slimy massive behemoth of Tatooine was the king of the desert, offering rich bounties to all those who wanted to make money by capturing debtors of Jabba’s. Jabba could barely move, could barely talk with out drooling, and was about as attractive as Rosie O’Donnel. Nonetheless, Jabba commanded a respect like no other, running a successful black market establishment with visiting players as cool and surreptitious as Boba Fett and Han Solo. When Jabba spoke, everyone became silent. His sonorous voice echoed over the chambers of his palace, keeping the slaves and gamblers in line, demonstrating who the real count of Tatooine was. It was quite a scene seeing Leia ineluctably chained to the tumultuous beast. It was an even more somber scene when she strangled him to death with her own fetters, making the rats and low life of the palace cry for the resurrection of their master. Jabba the Hutt is what happens when you have creator with an imagination as vast as the infinite universe. No one could dream up this type of character until it was actually seen in reality. Jabba is a testament to the perennial uniqueness of the Star Wars saga.

11. R2-D2

Unless you have been living underneath a rock for the past thirty some odd years, you have heard this voice broadcast to you by some sort of medium, and it sounds rather familiar. The beep-birk-bonk-sqwark-beep-ding is the noise that R2-D2 makes throughout his career in the Star Wars movies. R2-D2 is the most popular Droid in the Star Wars Saga. The reason being you may ask? Is it his lovable character that draws people in? His often rambunctious escapades with C-3PO? All very good guesses. But it’s probably just because he is a lucky little robot that hasn’t gotten blasted by Storm Troopers or bashed into bytes by Wookies. Give the bot some credit though. R2 has been through a lot in the series. Traveling from planet to planet on the outside of a fighter ship is taxing on the clear coat. But R2 often manages to take a lickin’ and keep on kickin’. Or should I say shockin’? It always tickles Star Wars fans when he extends his prod-device arm and shocks critters.R2 served as a good friend to C-3PO, having helped to rebuild him several times, and probably having to continually wax that golden case C-3PO sports. Even though he can be made into interpretive trash can art when he is decommissioned, R2 has saved Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon so many times that it is doubtful he would receive anything less than a full Rebel military funeral. It can be quite moving when the Wookie’s belt out the tune of “Taps” to the setting Endor sun. R2 has helped make Star Wars into what Star Wars really is…one of the greatest sci-fi movie series ever created. The spirit of R2-D2 will live long and prosper (I know, wrong franchise) far into the future because of his impact in saving the galaxy.

Another Solid old-wiz list

How did Wedge get so high? I guess you’re not taking points off for chickening out. He left Luke for dead in the Battle of Yavin, and he talks to much while preparing for battle. “Look at the size of that thing!”
Cut the chatter, Red 2.

Also, the Fett family got jobbed out in the worst way. One accidentally got beheaded, and the other one accidentally got knocked into the Pit of Carkoon. The Almighty Sarlaac got a treat in the “#5″ best Star Wars character.

Oh, and you forgot Bossk.

#3 Gardner Watts says:
March 15th, 2010 at 6:09 pm

Where the hell is Bossk !?

You have the stupid bartender in there, and Wedge listed in the top ten, and Bossk didnt even make the cut?! HE’S A DINOSAUR-MAN FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!!

IG88 is pretty badadd too. And SALACIOUS CRUMB? HELLO? Salacious Crumb should easily be in the top ten.

Also I agree with what Rob Schulz said about Wedge. Wedge should never make any list of favorite SW characters because he pussed out on the 1st death star run. He takes a glancing blow to one engine and uses it as an excuse to run away. Thank God we dont have a army of Wedges over in Iraq right now or Sadamm Hussein would still be power.

Lando was alright, but shouldnt be any higher than like 8.

And Vader is 100x more badass than Han. Solo is cool, and should be in the top 5, but he was basically just The Fonz in outer space, where as Vader was a totally menacing original cyborg fallen-hero who would just assume kill his own men as the enemy.

Vader should be #1. Bossk should be #2. Emperor should be #3.

Actually Boba Fett didn’t die. Supposedly he was able to get out of that pit. I read it in a book. How I remember this, I dont know. I’m not even that big a fan of Star Wars.

you forgot count dooku, darth maul and mace windu.
3 of the best light saber (some more sabers than others)charecters in the saga

#12 JeZeP says:
March 15th, 2010 at 1:18 am

Monkey Man is a f-ing moron. Darth Maul, Count Dooku! You are obviously not a true Star Wars fan. The New three star wars movie sucked!
And Rob Schulz is also a moron because bobba fett didn’t accidentally fall, he got his ass handed to him. And Fett’s father didn’t accidently let Mace windu cut his head off.
I think the list is awesome!

#13 Rob Schulz says:
March 15th, 2010 at 7:05 am

Nerd fight!

Yeah, thats right, I heard ya JeZeP. Tell me how Boba Fett got knocked into the Pit of Carkoon? If you CAN’T remember, and I’m sure Gardner Watts or some other TRUE fans can tell you: Han Solo, blinded from his carbonite sickness, has a gaffi stick (or axe?) and is standing on the sand skiff. He can’t see anything, and Chewie says something, to which Han replies “Boba Fett?!, Where!?” and turns quickly. In doing so, he backfires his jetpack, or something, sending him flying into the side of Jabba’s Sail Barge, and then tumbling into the Almighty Sarlacc’s gaping maw. No skill is involved, and its a TOTAL accident.

The Fetts are the worst. And you’re bad, too.

Your license plate probably reads “SLAVE 1.”

#14 Ben says:
March 15th, 2010 at 12:33 pm

That would be a sweet license plate.

#15 JeZeP says:
March 15th, 2010 at 2:01 pm

First of all Schulz, how does the entire Fett family have bad luc, as I mentioned before the father Fett from the Attack of the Clones did not accidentally get his head cut off by Mace Windu.
Also, Han Solo, although blind, ws still trying to defend himself against Boba Fett. I guess I do see your side that Han accidentally hit Fett’s jetpack, Han was still trying to defend himself anyway he could. All I’m saying is that it wasn’t an accident.
Also, I don’t care at all about any of the Fett’s, nor do I car that you disagree with me.
By the way I bet your License plate says “The driver of this car is a virgin” (even though it may not fit, but I think you catch my drift)

#16 GW says:
March 15th, 2010 at 6:03 am

Wow JeZeP, you really don’t see that Boba Fett’s death was an accident? Have you ever watched Return of the Jedi? Even once? That was the most accidental death of all time.

I agree, Jango’s death was in no way an accident, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t a little bitch.

He got beheaded by one of the lamest Jedi of all time. I mean who has a purple lightsaber and walks around saying things like “This party’s over”?!? What an awful, awful character Mace Windu was. His biggest accomplishment was killing Jango Fett, whose biggest accomplishment was jerking off into a petri dish so some freaky giraffe-necked aliens could clone him. Yeah, those are two awesome characters.

You know who never jerked off into a petri dish? Bossk! He was too busy slaughtering people and banging Twi’lek babes until their head tails were sore.

And don’t give me any of that “if Bossk was so great why didn’t he catch Han instead of Boba Fett” crap! I’ll tell you why, because Bossk has standards. When Vader added the clause of “no disintegrations” to the bounty, Bossk was like “Fuck that, I want to blow some shit up!” Then he left and went after some bigger bounty. Meanwhile Boba Fett bends over for Vader and says “As you wish (because I have no fucking principles and will do whatever you want, like the cheap whore that I am.)”

The Fetts are lame. Bossk is awesome.

#17 JeZeP says:
March 15th, 2010 at 12:47 pm

Calm down man…
I never said Bossk is not awesome.
I also hated the father Fett (It was completely unnecessary). I completeyl agree with you on both those parts so calm down.
I also was not defending Boba Fett, he is not my favorite character nor will he ever be, so calm down about that.
All I’m saying is that the fact that Boba Fett died is not an accident. In fact I have seen Return of the Jedi hundreds of times (always the original). Just because Han Solo was blind doesn’t mean he wasn’t aiming for Boba Fett. Han was swinging to kill whether he knew what he was hitting or not. Boba’s death was no accident!
BTW I don’t care about the Fett’s and I don’t care about Bossk. I’m not trying to defend the Fett’s. So calm the Fuck down!

#18 asguarifgu says:
March 15th, 2010 at 2:50 pm

JeZeP probably couldnt have said it better. I do agree with JeZep that this list is awesome, but even if I didnt, I am not freaking out about how his opinion is absolutely wrong. Calm down, all of you, and respect other people’s opinions.

#19 Adam says:
March 15th, 2010 at 2:45 am

Thank you asguarifgu! Finally someone with some common sense!!

#20 Adam says:
March 15th, 2010 at 2:48 am

JeZep is completely right about Boba Fett’s death not being an accident. Han wanted to hit Boba, so even though he hit his jetpack, he was still trying to kill Boba. JeZeP and asguarifgu are completely right. The rest of you guys are morons.

#21 Fred says:
March 15th, 2010 at 12:58 pm

How was Boba Fett’s death not an accident? Fanboys will try to rationalize anything.

#22 Rob Schulz says:
March 15th, 2010 at 4:29 pm

Weird, Fred, its almost as if you’ve seen Return of the Jedi before!

Of COURSE it was accidental. JeZeP, how can you AIM for something when you’re BLIND and you have NO IDEA where something is? That doesn’t make any sense at all. He had the same chance at hitting Chewie.

Also, if you want to get technical and Star Wars-y about it, Han has no special powers (ie: The Force) that would allow him to have some sort of foresight and ability to locate Fett without seeing him. And don’t site his ability to dodge Greedo’s fake blaster shot in A New Hope. Awful.

Just accept it; Boba Fett’s death was an accident!

(BTW, If Bossk is not your top choice and you don’t care for the Fetts, I bet your favorite Bounty Hunter is Dengar. Pfft, typical..)

#23 JeZeP says:
March 15th, 2010 at 6:59 pm

Your an idiot, plain and simple. With your logic a blind guys ability to walk is accidental. Perhaps next you’ll say it was an accident that Stevie Wonder could touch a keyboard and create music. I suppose it was an accident that Beethoven was a composer even though he was basically deaf. BTW I am not a Star Wars fanboy who tries to learn everything about stupid minor characters. I do not have a favorite bounty hunter. I the only thing I know about Bossk, Fett and Dengar is that they are all bounty hunters. Unlike you I have a life, and I don’t have time to look up the background story on every star wars character.
Han Solo could probably kick every bounty hunter’s ass anyway. My favorite character is Lando by the way. I am also pretty tired of this geek war, i don’t care that you think it is an accident. I respectfully disagree with your stupidity.

#24 Rob Schulz says:
March 15th, 2010 at 7:40 am

For a guy with a big important life you’re pretty quick to strike back! “In fact I have seen Return of the Jedi hundreds of time..” 300+ hours spent on Return of the Jedi? Some life…

–Han Solo wasn’t born blind, or had been blind for years. Are you telling me that if you went blind RIGHT NOW that you’d have full capacities of your senses? Don’t kid yourself. You, sir, are the idiot here. In your mind, every blind guy is like Geordi LaForge, or Stevie Wonder apparently. And as good a guy as Stevie Wonder is, I’m not going to bet on him in any fight anywhere, especially on a sand skiff in the middle of a skirmish.

How is Lando your favorite character? Awful.
I bet you have the same traits as Mr. Calrissian; an untrustworthy turncoat who is terrible at sabacc.

#25 JeZeP says:
March 15th, 2010 at 3:39 pm

I was exaggerating you idiot.
By the way, I see your point now on the blind issue. That still doesn’t mean his death was accidental, Han wanted to shoot Boba Fett end of story.
Also, I’m betting your favorite character is some random cameo who only had one line in the movie. You seem like one of those faggy star wars fanboys. And, to continue, why are you on the computer at 7:40 AM just to shoot back at me. I bet your at your job right now just waiting for me to post this comment. Sad, your life is just plain sad.

#26 Rob Schulz says:
March 15th, 2010 at 6:40 am

Or 7:40AM is the time local to the site. First time on the internet? From the testosterone overflowing in your posts I’d take that as a yes. Anonymity gives everyone the power to say whatever they want without repercussion. Like telling someone repeatedly that they’re an idiot, or they’re faggy, or that they have a sad, sad life. I can guarantee you that you wouldn’t say any of this stuff to ANYONE’S face. Or else you’d “accidentally” get your ass handed to you. Probably by a blind man.

I’m guessing you get email updates when someone posts a new comment. Weird, I do, too. Nutty, huh? In fact, EVERYONE has that option. I read my mail daily. Its not like this site my homepage.
(for your information, I wasn’t at work then..but you should see about getting a job yourself)
–Han didn’t even have anything to shoot Boba with! He hit him (backhanded) with a gaffi stick or something. An axe? Who knows.

I don’t even know if I have a set favorite character. I like Han a whole bunch. He’s hilarious! I like [original] Vader, he’s hilarious, too! He accepts Captain Needa’s apology AFTER he kills him. Brilliant! I like Tarkin (bunny slippers and all). Trilogy Yoda is funny, particularly when interacting with R2 on Dagobah. I also like Bib Fortuna (Jabba’s assistant if you didn’t know.. tsk tsk), cheese-in-a-can eating Jek Porkins (Red 6, DUH), Bossk is easily my favorite Thrandoshian ever, and if I had to choose someone from the Prequels, I guess I’d go with Kit Fisto.
Head tentacles and all, he’s still leagues below most Original Star Wars characters in my book.

#27 JeZeP says:
March 15th, 2010 at 12:54 am

To be honest I din’t know that I could get an email like that, but thanks.
Also ” Or else you’d “accidentally” get your ass handed to you. Probably by a blind man.” That was actually really funny, and quite clever. I just thought I had to give you credit for that one…
Anyway, of course I no he didn’t have a gun, all I am trying to say is that you don’t know the meaning of accident.
Also, I pretty much done with the argument, I am bored and tired of it. I started it up mostly because of your first comment where you said that Jengo Fett accidentally got his head cut off. How can someone accidentally have a Jedi block one of the bullets and then get their head cut off! I didn’t mean to stumble into the Boba thing. It’s not a big deal whether it was an accident or not.
I don’t see what you have against Lando either. He was the one that destroyed the second Death Star, basically destroying the empire.
And, you don’t have to point out who the characters are when you name them, this is old-wizard, I wouldn’t be typing right now if I din’t know all the random characters of Star Wars. Well, not all, I understand that you don’t know what an exaggerration is so I thot I had to point that out.

Kinda surprised the KEY piece of evidence in the whole “Was Boba Fett’s Death an accident?” debate hasn’t been brought up here.

Here’s the scene: Chewie growls. Han says “Boba Fett? Boba Fett!? WHERE!?” and turns around while holding a staff, which (accidentally) knocks into Fett’s jetpack, sending him to his death.

The key piece of evidence here is the word “where.” Han was turning around to look for Fett. He was trying to find him, not blindingly swinging a weapon that might have hit anyone who was behind him. Anyone who questions it should go back and watch the scene again and watch Han’s posture. He isn’t swinging the staff around with his arms. He is holding it still, and pivots with his whole body to look for Fett. If Han were trying to hit Fett, he would have been swinging the stick with his arms.

This is very obvious if you guys go back and watch the scene. Boba Fett’s death was accidental. Case closed.

What a stupid list. This person knows nothing about star wars.How did Uncle Owen, the stupid bartender, and Wedge get on th list whatout Grevious, Darth Maul, Count Dookou, and Bossk? I also would like to know why did you put chewbacca so low at no. 18 and sould’nt Darth Vader be at no. 1 instead of Han Solo being at number 1? P.S. If you put Boba Feet you have put Boosk.He’s like the best Bounty Hunter.

that arguement was absolute comedy gold!
I think you forget about about orrimaarko who should’ve led the rebellion assualt on the death star instead of Han Solo. He was famed for guerilla tactics. Despite being called prune face he was a fierce adversary

Nice list, especially since it includes the bar keeper and no character from the pathetic prequels who shouldn’t be called Star Wars at all. Could have done with Admiral Piett or some other Imperial officer, though.
