Jar Jar Binks is by far the most annoying.

Ya think?

You are spot on! Batman and Phantom are two of my favorites.

Yes indeed, nearly made me not want to watch the prequels!

You know, everyone hates on the Ewoks, but you know what? F*ck those assh*les.

Ewoks are awesome, a bunch of cudly teddy bears just chillin', but when the stormtroopers try to f*ck with them, they unleash a can of whoopass. Seriously what's not to like?

I don't think the Ewoks hurt RotJ at all, in fact I thought they were one of the best things about it. The idea of nature overcoming technology might be a tried and true plot device, but I think it's more well executed here than people give Lucas credit for.

First off. It's a common misconception when people say the Ewoks singlehandedly overthrew the empire, they didn't. They just distracted the bad guys so everything else was made possible. And c'mon, whining about how unbelievable that scene is, well it's kinda dumb when we're talking about, you know, A GODDAMN SPACE OPERA.

I actually found it to be quite plausible, I mean think about it, AT-STs aren't exactly flawless in their design. Just like the AT-ATs in Empire, they're big machines with long and lanky legs, the mere mistake of tripping over something renders them completely useless and vulnerable, and since they were in the freaking jungle there was a lot more stuff to trip over. Also the small size of the Ewoks made them hard to detect, especially when facing off against such large and bulky machines, and they also knew a lot more about their environment than the stormtroopers did. So of course they had a lot of great advantages.

The argument that Ewoks shouldn't have been capable of defeating the stormtroopers simply because of the technological gap is a pretty damn retarded one, especially when we all know stormtroopers aren't that bright to begin with. Geez, don't you idiots know anything about war? The environment can change the tide of any battle.

Jar Jar but no probably R2 since I'm not a major Star Wars fan to be too interested in the other characters

Alright, I realize that this is a dead thread resurrected by some jackass, but I've gotta ask: what's with the love affair with Boba Fett? He was a random character in two of the movies with all of five minutes of actual air time, no personality, and, what, two or three actual lines? Sure, his armor looks cool, but the obsession with him just seems completely random.

I've thought the same thing too, especially considering how he's not very good at his job.

Not true. His day job was as a licensed home inspector and he was damn good at it.

Isn't there someone here with a Boba Fett avatar? I think it's Ki.

**** Ki.

Now now now, no need for that lol. He just jumped on the "everyone on MB loves Boba Fett and you should too" bandwagon.

Jar Jar Binks

















(just seeing who's paying attention)

I can't believe you had the nerve to ask that. If someone voted anyone besides Boba Fett they should have their head examined.

It's not so much the character itself but what he stands for and his profession. Being a bounty hunter with a jet pack, cool looking armor and being able to hold your own against jedi is pretty damn cool overall. You have to dig deeper into the mythos of Bounty Hunters to really understand how bad ass they are. Sure Boba Fett was a fuck up but overall they are pretty ruthless and have flawless execution. Overall, I really don't like how they portray Bounty Hunters in the movies. They always show them messing up in some capacity.

As opposed to portrayed... somewhere else? The whole Star Wars franchise began and is centered around the films.

As opposed to the novels and everyone else where Bounty Hunters are mentioned. I don't mind if it's canon or not.

I was really big into Star Wars novels during high school.

Fair enough, I just assumed that this poll would be based on the original Star Wars, i.e. the films :) Therefore when people are voting on characters chances are they are using the film depictions.

I'm explaining the Boba Fett love though. He has a rich background that was never explored on film and should have been at least mentioned

His rich background came after the fact though.

well his cool looking armor is what everyone loved then and was enough to inspire his own fandom.

Which I'm sure did little to help assuage the pain of being digested by a sarlac after being accidentally bumped into by someone much cooler.

People fell in love with him with Empire though. I'm pretty sure he was brought back in Jedi because he was so popular.

Meh. He was just a dude and was not even in view of Darth Vader's league.

I read the novels. He was...there. And don't mention those abortions in my presence. Even the "good" books were just readable.

Pox on your house for saying the novels were lackluster. Did you read his series?

Storm Trooper #TK-421


...and Porkins. Poor, poor Porkins. He didn't stay on target.

i never watched star wars or star trek

or harry potter or lotr


many ppl can not fathom

Nah. I read enough with him in it, and the short story where he escaped the Sarlaac. That series would have to do a whole lot to bring me around.

And how can you like those books? Darksaber? Crystal Star? Children of the Jedi? New Rebellion? Abortions all. The X-Wing series was pretty entertaining when I was twelve, but I don't know that I'd really be able to appreciate them as much these days. Even more so with the Young Jedi series. Zahn's books were the only ones that truly justified the Expanded Universe, but his writing style made Stephen King look like Ernest Hemingway. I stopped reading around the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion and I'd still like to finish those just for nostalgia purposes, and then of course I'll have to catch up on all these newer ones I see around. Read much mediocre writing will I.

How do you guys feel about The Clone Wars?

As in the cartoon? Never saw it. Didn't have cable. Besides, it was the new trilogy that killed a lot of my love for Star Wars, so I wasn't really interested anyway.

The X-Wing series is what I fondly remember. I also enjoyed the Young Jedi series. I did read Zahn's books because I was going through the events chronologically after the events of Return of the Jedi. I am tempted to read up on the newer ones but I'm a bit overwhelmed and not sure where I'm going to start.

Why not just go chronologically? Oh and I almost forgot, if you're going to use the Expanded Universe to call someone your favorite character then how could you pick Boba Fett over Mara Jade? Emperor's hand? Smuggler AND a Jedi? Redhead? Win.

Yeah the cartoon mostly, but now there's a series of toys and books available (I doubt you're gonna rush over to Toys R Us to purchase them though lol). There's also a movie.

I'm sure the cartoons are available online, like on Let Me Watch This or Project Free TV if you ever get curious about them.

The original hand drawn micro-series was great. I never saw the movie they made or any of the other shows.

Yeah the animated series was really well done, but the 2008 CGI movie was awful.
