As the new "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" film makes its debut in theaters, why not look back on some of the coolest and interesting characters from the famous movie series? (Note: No spoilers will be shown here from the new movie.)
I know I left some big names off this list. Let me know who you think should be on here?
10. Darth Sidious
First of all, the guy has a face only a mother could love. The evil mastermind behind all six of the original Star Wars movies is obviously Chancellor Palpatine in disguise; creating un-orderly chaos throughout the galaxy. Who else as a little kid always wondering who the dark sith lord was? And then when you find out, you feel super naive right? He reveals himself as the dark lord in Episode III when good old Mace Windu turns him into an even uglier man. I do admit though, his lightsaber and lightning from his fingertips is pretty awesome.
9. Mace Windu
The man who turned the previous guy into an ugly is an easy choice for an interesting character on this list. Plus, any character played by the great Samuel L. Jackson should be on any movie list. Don't be fooled by the pink lightsaber, people. Master Windu is a beast when it comes to sword combat. His most memorable moment was from Episode II when he chopped off Jango Fett's head. What a boss, right?
8. Darth Vader
Oh Darth, easily the most naive character in Star Wars. Formerly Anikan Skywalker, he was once fighting for good and peace. Until that ugly man stated at number 10 came and manipulated him into joining the darkness to save his true love; who ironically ends up dying anyway, because his power kills her. Then, his former master, Obi-wan Kenobi, cuts his limbs off into a lava pit and... yeah. He ends up with a black suit of armor and a mask that makes him breathe very deeply and loud. If Star Wars is ever mentioned to anyone who is familiar with it, one of the first names to pop up is easily this guy's.
7. Han Solo
Han is like the honey badger. He doesn't give a s***. His laid back personality keeps him loose with fighting and shooting bad guys, also with the ladies (cough cough Princess Leia). Along with his furry, Wookie sidekick, Solo is almost like a bounty hunter, except he doesn't kill people for money; he lets people get killed for money.
6. C3PO
A human droid might be the future of society. If it's this droid, then I don't want to live in the future society. C3PO is basically R2D2's b****. His spineless nature makes him one of the most annoying characters in Star Wars. However, "sometimes annoying" turns out to be "hilarious" to some people. If C3PO was a real person though, he would definitely be hated by everyone.
5. Jango Fett
This bounty hunter is one of the coolest-looking characters in Star Wars. His armor is amazing with a sweet jetpack and dual pistol rifle guns. If he had a lightsaber, he would be a Star Wars god. There's just something interesting about him that just cannot escape my mind. He donated his DNA for money to be cloned by the good guys to make an army ("Episode II: The Clone Wars"). So does that technically make him a good guy, even though he worked for the bad guys to kill people?
4. Darth Maul
He's only in one movie ("Episode I: The Phantom Menace"), but he's amazing in that one movie. The guy is like Marshawn Lynch of Star Wars. He goes beast mode on everyone with his double-sided lightsaber and skillful marshall arts ability. If it wasn't for a young Obi-wan Kenobi slicing him in half, the producers should have brought him back for another movie.
2 (tie). R2 D2
The "coolest droid" out of all the droids in Star Wars. If an R2-D2 unit was a real life thing, I would definitely buy one. It could repair your home, clean your home and even give you life advice. Someone needs to invent one. Anyways, back to Star Wars, the droid has been in ever movie so far... and he has been amazing to watch every movie. My favorite moment was in Episode III when he destroys a group of droids with his flamethrower and oil spill.
2 (tie). Chewbacca
Stand up if you can do the Chewbacca call! Because if you can, then you have a unique talent. "Chewy," as referred to by Han Solo, is a Wookie creature with human traits. He has a wicked crossbow and knows how to fly a ship! What else can you ask for from a furry man-dog?
1. Yoda
If I had time to conduct a research poll, the most popular Star Wars character would easily have to be Yoda. The little green, furry Jedi might speak backwards, but his moves and Jedi skills definitely surpass everybody else. I call his backwards words of wisdom: Yoda-isms. There should be a religion know as "Yoda-ism." I would become a believer and a follower right away.
