• Top 5 Worst Star Wars Characters

  The Star Wars series was full of some of our favorite movie characters of all time. In the near future, we will be releasing our favorite characters of all time from the series, but for now our focus will be on the worst ones. During the original trilogy it was rare for George Lucas to ever make a mistake in production, storyline, and character development. But since then he certainly HAS made his mistakes, mostly in the newly released episodes 1-3 which had more things wrong with them than great about them. To start with, there were characters in these episodes who were not only forgettable, but stultifyingly annoying. That Lucas ever thought these next characters could pass for the greatness of Star Wars lore makes no sense for the diehard fan of the series. That episodes 1-3 would become forgotten because of Lucas’s interpolations in these movies was a fate that would become certain after one watched episode 3. The superfluous nature of these next characters will be recognizable signifiers of a movie series gone wrong. The diehard Star Wars fan though will always have the crass demeanor of Han Solo to bring back memories of all the characters from the old series that they had come to love. Just look at all the action figures collected from the original series compared to those collected from the new series to understand the different degrees of affectation that the characters in each had. With this in mind, the difference between the character development in both was obvious and will be addressed in this list.

  5. Dex

  I honestly don’t know if I even really have to explain our #5 worst Star Wars character of all time. The scene in Dex’s diner in Episode II: Attack of the Clones is a perfect example of how lazy of a story teller George Lucas has become ever since The Empire Strikes Back. Basically, Lucas needed to find a way for Obi-Wan to find the planet Kamino, even though the Jedi Archives themselves couldn’t find it. So the obvious answer, of course, would be to ask a short order cook at a 1950’s Earth Diner. How this repulsive creature could know that the saber dart that Obi-Wan retrieved from a bounty hunter must have come from the planet Kamino (one of fifty MILLION planets in the Star Wars universe) just by looking at it is beyond me. And Dex’s line after he “figures out” which planet this dart was made on is even more ridiculous. “I should think you Jedi would have more respect for the difference between knowledge and wisdom.” What? What the hell does that even mean? And why did Obi-Wan consult a cook at a diner to get this “wisdom” anyway? Isn’t there a better source of information on Coruscant than a diner? This is the capital of a galaxy wide empire. There must libraries, universities, and countless other places to get information from. Why a diner? Yeah, its cool that Lucas wanted to give a shout out to American Graffiti in a STAR WARS movie, but couldn’t he have found a more subtle way that this? And considering the fact that the entire prequel trilogy is pretty much nothing more than a six hour long shout out to the original trilogy anyway, I’d say the shout outs have gone a little too far at this point.

  4. Yaddle

  Was there really any need to add a female version of Yoda into the prequel trilogy? Not only that, but does she also have to be a Jedi Master on the Jedi council along with Yoda? What George Lucas has done with the prequel trilogy is to make each character in the original trilogy a cliche of themselves. Any member of Yoda’s species we see has to be a powerful Jedi, just because in the original movies Yoda is a powerful Jedi. (in the same line of thought, any bounty hunters we encounter in the new movies would have to be like Boba Fett, but more on that later). We see this theme again and again in the prequel trilogy. I could have gone the rest of my life never seeing another member of Yoda’s race. When I was a kid one of the coolest things about Yoda was that he was unique. Yeah, deep down I knew there must have been more of his species out there in the galaxy, but it still didn’t mean I ever wanted to see another member of it in a Star Wars movie. I liked the mystery a whole hell of a lot more. Sometimes I imagined that he was the last of his race. Other times I imagined that maybe he was once a human, but after 900 years of using the force he became a twisted little green creature. Either way, it was a nice little mystery. But, as would happen many more times to many more of my favorite Star Wars characters, in the new movies, any sense of mystery Yoda might have held for me though disappeared immediately after seeing Yaddle in the Phantom Menace.

  3. General Grievous

  Where to start with General Grievous? It was really hard to place General Grievous at #3 on our list. Everything was telling me to put him at number one. The only thing stopping me was that by the time General Grievous made his appearance it the Star Wars saga in Episode III: Revenge of Sith, all hope had already been lost for the prequel trilogy. This alone saves General Grievous from otherwise dominating our number one spot as the worst Star Wars character of all time. The villain of a movie is usually supposed to inspire some fear in you, as the movie goer. Darth Vader and the Emperor, and even Grand Moff Tarkin accomplish this feat rather well in the original trilogy. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of General Grievous. Sure, he looks scary…At first. But then he starts hacking and wheezing and any sense of dread you might have had soon vanishes. As a matter of fact, during the scenes in which he is on the screen for longer periods of time, the dread quickly turns into annoyance. You just want him to shut up. Its like watching a movie while sitting next to someone with a really bad cough. As if a coughing robot weren’t dumb enough, the guy is basically a professional Jedi assassin. What? Is it really that easy to kill a Jedi? You just need to hire a robot with a really bad cough? Why the hell was the emperor so afraid of Luke becoming a Jedi in the original trilogy? Shouldn’t he have been more afraid of someone building another robot with Asthma? This guy has a collection of lightsabers from all the Jedi he killed. Throughout the entire prequel trilogy our reverence for the Jedi knights, reverence that was built to epic proportions by the time we saw Luke take down all of Jabba’s henchmen almost single-handedly in the Return of the Jedi, has slowly evaporated. In Episode II we see Jedi falling by the hundreds on Geonosis at the hands of battle droids, we see a bounty hunter casually shoot one down of a balcony, and now we find out an Asthmatic robot has been killing them one by one and collecting their lightsabers. Where will it end?

  2. Jango Fett

  How many lives were ruined when it was revealed in Episode 2: The Attack of the Clones that Boba Fett was in fact the clone of Jango Fett, and not only that, he was raised as his son? Boba Fett was in like three scenes in the original trilogy, and had maybe two lines. Why was he even included in the prequel trilogy at all? Couldn’t George Lucas have come up with a new bounty hunter? The only reason I can come up with is because Boba Fett’s action figures fly off the shelves. It’s like George Lucas had to find a way to fit every character from the original trilogy into the new movies. (C-3PO, R2-D2, Jabba the Hutt, even Chewbacca made an appearance in Episode 3!) Boba Fett himself was cool before we knew what he looked like and where he came from, and now that we know, he’s lost all of his original appeal (especially after we see what an annoying brat he was as a kid). Jango Fett’s inclusion in the prequel trilogy in and of itself would be enough to warrant his place on his list, but to make matters worse it is with Jango Fett that all of our ideas we had about how bad ass the Jedi Knights were when we were kids were shattered. During the Coliseum battle between the Jedi and the droids on the planet Geonosis, a Jedi knight lands on the balcony with Count Dooku and Jango Fett. Jango simply pulls out his blaster and shoots the Jedi in the chest, after which he falls off the balcony to his death. I’m sorry, but I simply refuse to believe that a Jedi knight (remember these are the guys who spend their free time deflecting laser blasts with their lightsabers) could possibly be dispatched this easily. And how humiliating would it be for a Jedi knight to die at the hands of a lowly bounty hunter like that after a lifetime of training? Let’s face it, the only reason Jango was able to dispatch a Jedi so easily is because he is “cool” ( and the only reason he is cool because he was the progenitor of Boba Fett). In putting Jango Fett in the prequel trilogy, George Lucas made both Boba Fett and Jedi Knights less cool.

  1. Jar Jar Binks

  Jar Jar Binks was the worst character in all of Star Wars lore, and it’s fitting that like the other four characters on this list he came from the new series. The character of Jar Jar Binks was unbecomingly puerile, coming across as annoying to anyone above the age of 3. His voice was grating, his lines were superfluous, and the way he walked was vexing. Every time Binks came on the screen, the viewer was overcome with a sense of embarrassment that they had to watch this character who was supposed to be comic relief, but failed in all instances. While trying to adapt the Star Wars enterprise to a younger market, they lost their core audience who first fell in love with episodes 4-6 for their mettle and rigor in production. While C3PO was explicitly annoying, Jar Jar Binks would try to cajole the audience into placid acceptance. Jar Jar Binks was supposed to be accepted as a “fun” and “laughable”. Instead, he came across as the ultimate sell out move by George Lukas who was obviously trying to adapt to an audience he thought was dumb enough to fall for the lackluster comedic appeal of Binks. His clumsiness is never entertaining. One wonders how he survived past episode 1 into Episodes 2 and 3. The Star Wars series won its success from its unabashed forays into aggrandized space war themes. It’s toughness made the viewer believe in what he was watching. That Lucas thought the series would improve by adding this unctuous and mawkishly cute character was beyond fans of the original Star War series. Clearly, Lucas was taking the Star Wars series to a place the original fans wanted nothing to do with.

   Greivous’s breathing thing, regardless of whether you know or care what caused it, is awesome because it’s dramatic foreshadowing for Darth Vader. He’s one of the only prequel characters who has any sort of themeatic reason to exist, he’s version 1.0 of a more machine than man Imperial killing machine. He’s a vision of things to come for poor, stupid Anakin. When Obi wan rips him open and sees a big ball or organs underneath his droidery, that’s about as good a momment as we get in the Prequels. Which isn’t saying a lot, but it’s nice when the filmmakers use their CG hackery to attempt something interesting as opposed to the bland vision of cool and cutsey that they seem to think people like.

   Point taken, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that a robot that kills Jedi and collects their lightsabers is a really stupid idea.

   Great list, great points; however I don’t think anything from the prequels makes me think less of anything in the originals… but now on to my point:
   I have a son, 8 nephews, and a lot of my friends have sons, all of whom are no more than 8 years old, and whenever any group of them are over and one pops out the ol’ “I wanna watch Star Wars” NONE of them EVER say they want to watch ANH, ESB or ROTJ. They almost ALWAYS want to watch The Phantom Menace or Revenge of the Sith.
   As a huge fanboy of the originals, I consider myself also one of the few that realize and acknowledge that these are KIDS movies that Lucas has made.
   They may indeed have captured that same magic that the originals did when we were kids, we just don’t know it because you have to BE a kid to know that magic.
   How many adults do you think thought that having a “Muppet” in ESB back in ‘80 was ridiculous? Or giant armored walkers that looked like their top speed was about 2 MPH? Ewoks and talking squid?
   I think the only thing about the prequels (well, other than JJB) that bothered me most was teenage queens who were elected into power. THAT is your most ridiculous Star Wars anomaly. He can explain it all he wants, but it’s just asinine.

   Personally, I think that the prequels did not ruin anything about the origionals, maybe it’s because when I saw the prequels, I was only 7, 10, then 13. However, even the prequels are better than most movie sequels, such as:

   Alien 3 and 4
   Terminator 3
   Fantastic Four 2, (the First still sucks)
   Spider Man 3
   Matrix 2 & 3

   Need I go on?

   Other movies even worse are:

   2001: A Space Oddysey
   Thelma and Louise
   The Matrix, (Only watched for it’s special effects, still sucks)
   All Movies Based off Videogames
   All Movies starring or made by:
   Adam Sandler, Aaron Seltzer, Jason Friedberg, A sports player, a professional wrestler, a singer, and Dane Cook (FUCK, I HATE DANE COOK!)

   Fortunately for all of us, Greivous was killed by the bad ass Obi-Wan, Jar Jar was thrown out of an airlock by Darth Vader (Robot Chicken), I don’t even remember seeing Yaddle in any of the movies frames, Jango’s decapitated, and Dex can go fuck himself.

   Also to be noted are awesome prequel characters:

   Qui Gon
   Whoever decapitated Jango
   Obi Wan
   Mace Windu
   Anikin, (Forget his acting, he still blew up a ton of shit and decapitated Dooko)
   The Wookie Army
   The Emperor
   Yoda
   Darth Motherfucking Maul
   and The Jedi Army

   Pardon the length, I know some of these guys appeared in the origionals, but their still awesome!

    Good list, though I don’t remember much of Dex or Yaddle. I’d sooner replace them with Rotta the Hutt, (A character who didn’t need to exist, and was on the same level of Jar Jar for sheer nuisance.) and Ahsoka Tano, (A 14-year-old Jedi who only exists as a way to rope in teenage girl demographics.) both characters made for the abysmal new Clone Wars movie.

    Yeah, Clone Wars (that animated movie that came out in the summer of 2008) was the worst thing to happen to Star Wars since George Lucas’ dialouge and Natalie Portman, speaking of which, you should have put Padmae as Number 1, at least Jar Jar never reproduced and stays the fuck out of 2 and 3.

But Clone Wars came out after this list was made, I think I’ll watch it to see how bad it is.

    Grievous was hysterical. I love when he whips out the four lightsabers after mocking his foe for only having one… and then proceeds to lose two of his arms almost instantly. If not for the breathing effect, which made him somewhat annoying, he would be a fairly likable character. Of course, comical villains (except one-offs) wouldn’t belong anywhere but in the kiddy prequel trilogy. I’m surprised Young Anakin isn’t in the top5 worst characters, as he was an irritating brat in the first film, a bratty jedi recruit in the second, and an angsty loser in the third. To top it off, he was basically the protagonist in 2 & 3.

    General Grievous- he was one of the best villians I found, if you read and I do hope you have looked through the books Grievous got that cough just before that battle.
    I found he died to easy, why can’t a robot be more powerful than a jedi?
    They don’t feel pain, they can be faster, they can blow up and take others with them, they have so many things they can do that jedi can’t do, Plus then when you want to go jedi train there whole lifes so do droids.
    Jedi take 20 years to train and theres not many people who can become one?
    Droids take couple of hours and there lifes training can be downloaded into them.

    Now….
    Jango Fett- If a jedi has life training? why can’t Jango… The force could be strong in Jango and if you read the books? all people of greatness have the force its just he chooses to use the force through guns because he never trained and well? never will be so he’ll just keep getting faster and faster with that gun.

    Dex- why not? he might of been a great black arms dealer? then yes they can look for some great number of files but two reasons. well 3 really
    One the files got deleted from a jedi.
    Two they haven’t got the greatest amount of time to look for files on another world with a chance that thoughs files also got deleted.
    Three well if this Dex was a black arms dealer why not ask him? he was giving free imformation. Why not ask Dex you should be asking.

    Now I won’t be going on this site again but I can say couple more things

    I didn’t even know about Yaddle, Binks dose suck and before you check through my spelling.
    You need to get a life and think wow that movie wasn’t so bad because you know? the movie isn’t just for you its for everyone.
    So give him more credit and get a life or a girl friend.

    JarJar was the worst thing to happen to a movie, much less a beloved saga in Flim history!

    Directly followed by the generally LAME script of Ep. 1-3 and the turning of Darth Vader into a whining crybaby???

    Lucas should of NEVER been allowed to write and direct, he’s an “idea” man, NOT the sole contractor.

    Words can’t describe how utterly disappointed I was in all 3 films.

    Yaddle doesn’t belong in any list of Star Wars characters. She isn’t even on screen for more than a few seconds, and then disappears. Jar Jar was annoying, but other than him, I though Episode 1 was okay. Certainly the best of the new trilogy.

    I have to say, you put Greivous and Jango into perspective for me. And I never did like Dex.

    list could easily go to 10.

    you left out anakin, almost tarnished everything cool about darth vader, by making him stupid and annoying.

    dooku had potential, but he was just another cannon fodder by ep3.

    #3 was choosen because you didn’t see the stort story comics between Ep 2 and Ep 3. Grevious kicks ass. But right before Ep 3 starts he gets a force crush to the chest by Windu… causing him to weeze and crap throughout the movie. Of course this wasn’t available to the casual Star Wars traditionalist… which is why you guys missed it.
20. #20 honestly says:
    November 20th, 2009 at 3:34 pm

    Grevious is not a robot. He is a cyborg. Really even if you don’t read the novels, which is clear you don’t, you could of at least watched the Clone Wars series presented by adult swim. Maybe then you would have a little more respect for one of the greatest villains in the star wars franchise.

25. #25 Core Nakatani says:
    November 20th, 2009 at 2:12 am

    Okay, where to start?
    I like Dex because he ads comedy, plus, he was first mentioned in Jedi Apprentice, so when Lucas makes movies, it’s nice because he likes to ad a background story, that’s what he did with Boba. Boba is my favorite, I hate him in the old movies, love him in the new. I love the books they made about him, Bounty Hunter, it gives even more background story of how he became the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy, and the friends and enemies along the way.
    General Grievous. The name is awesome as it is. Okay, he could have been more scary looking, but I have to say, he wasn’t just a robot, he was half alien, and not just any alien, the most skilled warrior on Kaleesh. He had more training there then Dooku gave him, so it was pure skill he killed those jedi, not because he was a robot.
    And then you say that jedi are dying at the hands of a few droids on Geonosis, well, for your information, there were 212 jedi, and 3.96 million battle droids. Seriously?
    And then comes Jar Jar. I like him in the CLone Wars series, and in Episode 1, not so much in 2 and 3, but he’s stil the comedy in episode 1.
    I kind of agree on Yaddle, but I don’t care that they added her. Probably wasn’t the smartest, but I don’t care.
    You don’t have to agree or argue, just listen to my points, that’s all I ask.

    I am a 25 year old woman and life long Star Wars fan. You can calculate how old I was (or wasn’t) when each of the movies came out if you want to, but I’m not going to. Though I was too young and/or not alive to see the original trilogy in theaters the first time around, I was raised watching them on TV and VHS very frequently. Although, I can vividly imagine the excitement of seeing the original trilogy the for the first time on the silver screen because of the way I felt as I was leaving the theater from the re-release.

    That being said, although I fully believe that the main purpose of the prequel trilogy was to hear Vader’s respirator for the first time, I disagree with almost every point on this list.

    First, you look only at the movies and ignore the numerous books and video games set in the Star Wars universe–ALL of which are considered cannon. Though I have never read any of the books or played any of the games, I do get accounts of them from my boyfriend and our friends. Even so, I lacked knowledge on the backgrounds of some of the “new” characters in the prequel trilogy and still was able to use my intellect and narrative sense to divine more of the background than your writers could. Now I will discuss my take on each of the characters on your list.

    5. Dex. Dex is a character of which I had no prior knowledge, be it first or second hand, and yet I understood everything that went on in that scene. Obviously, Dex is and old friend of Obi Wan’s. He was once in a career field that caused him to spend a great deal of time on deep space travel and had now settled down and become a short order cook. His travels took him to Kamino or a system near to Kamino, and so he recognizes the dart. He then acknowledges that while droids are great and recognizing raw facts (knowledge), they lack the ability to apply those facts (wisdom). It’s all perfectly simple.

    4. Yaddle. Yaddle is barely in the movie. In fact, I didn’t know she had a name until I read it in your list. She is a backdrop that I am pleased exists for two reasons. First, Star Wars movies are male dominated and, as a woman I like to see what the females of alien species look like. Second, I am a strong woman and the only strong women in the Star Wars moves are Padme and Leia. All other strong characters in the movies are men, and all other women are dancers and slaves. It makes me feel good that Lucas is acknowledging that while the story doesn’t focus on them, other strong women do exist in the Star Wars universe.

    3. General Grievous. Grievous is the most discussed character in these comments so I won’t discuss him other than to reiterate that: Grievous = Vader 1.0

    2. Jango Fett. This is where knowledge of the books and games comes into play. It was well established for years before the release of even TPM that the Fetts are the best of the best of the best of the Mandalorian warriors, and anyone who ever believed that all Jedi were badasses was fooling himself. The Jedi are people first and people do not all possess an equal amount of skill in every skill set. Take knitting for example. I knit with medium quality, but I know people who knit very well, people who knit very poorly, and people who can’t knit at all. Extrapolating that fact to Jedi skills, it is obvious that some Jedi are badasses, some are O.K., and some just plain suck. We know nothing about the Jedi that Jango killed, he may not have trained for very long (comparatively), or he may not have been very strong with the Force. If you put a mediocre Jedi up against the hands down best bounty hunter in the galaxy, the Jedi’s chances aren’t very good. As for Jango diminishing the appeal of Boba, in my opinion Jango increased Boba’s appeal. I’ve always had a little crush on Boba; I’ve always felt that there’s nothing quite so yummy as a man in Mandalorian battle amour, and when I heard his father was gong to be in AOTC, I was very excited. The only thing that disappointed me about Jango was the way Samuel L. Jackson, who, granted, is the badass of all badasses (excepting Ginsu Yoda, as we call him), was able to run by him and with a casual swing of his lightsaber decapitate him. I mean, come on!, even the six-legged monster that Obi Wan was fighting got a better death scene. But in the end, the shock and sadness of the moment from Boba’s eyes deepened the way I felt about him because, like most women, it made me want to take care of him and do my best to help ease the pain.

    1. Jar Jar Binks. Jar Jar was my favorite new character. I thought he was very funny. Also cute and cuddly like a puppy. I find that a person’s feelings toward Jar Jar fall much less often into age categories than they do gender ones. Women like Jar Jar, and men hate him. “My give up! Myyyy give up!” still makes me laugh.

    If you read the book that came out just before Episode III (can’t remember the name) General Grievous is indeed a very fascinating and deep character.

    In the hands of Lucas though: ROFL.

    whoa, terrible list.
    Maybe I disagree because I am a huge star wars fan but come on.
    Jango and grievous were BADASS
    Yaddle was in the movie for like 15 seconds
    Dex was pretty cool
    I agree with Jar Jar Bunk

    I disagree, partially, with this list
    1. Dex: He is a very minor character in AOTC, and was only used as a way for Obi Wan to find out about Kamino
    2.Yaddle: I cannot really say much about her but from what I have heard she has a mind-blowingly insignificant part so should not really be included
    3.General Grievious: All I can say is, he is one of my favourite villains from the Star Wars universe and I feel he could, and should, have had a much larger part in Ep III: ROTS
    4. Jango Fett: I agree with the list here and i say he was a monumentally unnesessary, annoying and badly acted character, and a far better Bounty Hunter could have been used to base the Clones upon, and he certainly didn’t need to be Boba Fett’s father. It is just overkill
    5. Jar Jar Binks: I don’t really know where to start on how much i disagree with this choice.Jar Jar is one of my favourite Star wars characters, with his clumsiness and all-round humour he realy lightens the mood of Ep I: Phantom Menace, and i wish he could have played a larger role in EPs II and III.
    Finally, why is Anakin in this list as he tainted my opinion of Darth Vader for life.

    Thank god for Mandy. If she had not said what she did I either would have spent the rest of the day WRITING what she said or being bugged that no one had said it. lol (Note: maybe someone else did, i only read a few of the posts).
    Granted, i am a rabid star wars fanboy and am aware of the EU canon that accompanies most of these characters.
    I will say this: Dex was just a plot device. Mandy got it right. yaddle wasn’t even a plot device, I never even notice her when i watch the movie so wtfc? Grievous was awesome as all get-out (See: Clone Wars) and served a good thematic purpose. Also note: Grievous was not a robot. He was very MUCH a Vader 1.0 because he was a dude who got his shit fucked up and was put into a cybernetic body afterwards.
    Jango was a disappointment for me. Knowing how much of a badass boba fett is, I was really expecting more from Jango. But yeah, not all jedi are very good at blocking blaster bolts. And being a jedi doesn’t make you automatically a badass. Just that Qui-Gon Jin, Mace Windu, Yoda, Kenobi, and Luke are some of the best jedi ever. But essentially, mandy got this one.
    I will not defend jar jar. I didn’t mind him, he made me laugh when i was 17. But he’s definitely a stupid character… this is the only point where I disagree with Mandy. So maybe she’s right about the gender disagreement.
