I would say its a tie for me between Darth Vader and Obi-wan kenobi. But I like han solo and luke a lot to. Hell they're all cool.

My vote is for OT Yoda. I don't much like the way he is portrayed in the PT, but much admired the OT character. He's closely followed by Chewbacca.

[J m HofMarN]

I gotta role my money on OT Obi Wan. Followed by Yoda. R2 gets honorable mention for being able to define his character and personality by using only variations of the word "beep".

[Lord Aquaman]

Han Solo. Nuff said.

Qui Gon Jinn

Qui Gon Jinn

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

WTF?

[jariten]

Qui Gon Jinn (for a second time)

[Helena]

I always had a soft spot for Obi-Wan, pretty much the only character in the entire OT with a British accent who isn't evil.

[azerty]

You said it Jariten. Qui Gonn Jinn for me too. (Outside anybody in the original of course)

I said my reasons in another thread, but just to continue the boredom (do you realize the over half of all threads in the first 5 pages of this forum have been started by Lord Aquaman!!!), here is why.

Qui Gonn is endearingly wooden. He is quietly rebellious. He doesn't get exctited about anything. He gets the job done. He dislikes Jar Jar, but tolerates him. He fights with his light saber and doesn't talk while he is doing it. He has the dignity to die and to stay dead. He is basically super cool - coolest of any of the Jedi so far. I mean, Luke is a bit of a whiner, and then an irritatingly ineffective Jedi. Mace Windu holds his lightsaber like a girl. Yoda is a gibbering fool. Annakin is a wanker. The jedi council are jam tarts. Those little kid jedis, well let's just say I wish Annakin would do a Sand People on them. Obi wan is excellent of course, but only in the original and in Phantom Menace. (Have I mentioned that Phantom Menace doesn't suck yet by the way?)

and finally, one of Qui Gonn's very first lines is --- "I don't sense anything."

THANK GOD! That should be enough for any of you guys.

Wedge! I don't know why, but I just like Wedge, he may not of had a lot of screen time, but he's the only pilot other than the main cast of characters that didn't get blown to pieces whenever they had an interior shot of a rebel cockpit. Plus HE was the one that blew up the 2nd death star, how Lando got the credit for that after Wedge had so obviously fired the first shots is beyond me. Anyway honorable mention goes to Porkins, just because he was aptly named.

[azerty]

Yeah, Porkins never made a fuss either. 10 points.

Slightly off the subject, I was watching "All Creatures great and Small", the old 1978 British veterinarian TV series, and General Dodonna plays one of the vets, Ewan Ross. Seeing him with is arm elbow deep up a cows ass was kind of fun.

Not only that, but the X wing pilot who says "the guns, they've stopped" in the original, plays Boy Mulcaster in "Brideshead Revisited", also from the late 70's. Nice to see actors with a life after Star Wars...

Wedge is my favorite character in all the Star Wars material, like in the EU books and comics and video games, though I don't think he can be counted in the movies, since he has such a small role.

The fact is, saying of the entire saga makes it very difficult. I would say Darth Vader, but seeing that he was an annoying little shit when he was younger, I don't like him as much anymore.

My favorite is Luke. I'm a Luke guy, not a Han guy. I think Hamill did a great job and is very underrated, making a great transformation from naive, idealistic farmboy to cocky but immature Jedi-in-training to calm, collected, and powerful Jedi. His character arc is done very nicely throughout the trilogy, and his acting complements it very well. Solo, while a great character in his own right, basically stays the same, becoming a bit more mature and trusting, maybe, but does not really change too much. And ROTJ does bring him down a bit.

Luke's exp​ression at Vader's pyre in ROTJ shows a level of acting Christensen couldn't touch, and it gets me every time.

[Lord Aquaman]

I have too much time on my hands.

Should Wedge get his own movie?

[HK 47]

A Wedge movie? "Star Wars: The Rogue Squadron"? I don't know, but I think there's a good chance we'll get to see an Antilles in the TV-series though. Considering Lucas strong tendency to include recognizable OT-material in the PT my prediction for episode III is this little scene:

Annoying little kid playing in the cockpit of a pre X-Wing fighter: "Zap! Zap! I wanna be a pilot just like you dad!"
Proud orange-clad pilot: "Hahaha, yes little Wedge, I'm sure you'll become one of the greatest pilots in the galaxy."
Annoying kid: "That would be wizard!"

Vwing-- I think your overrating marks acting ability. Hayden can perform good to. Just you wait til episode 3.
