I would have to say that the best Star Wars character is Boba Fett. Seriously. What a badass. What do y'all think?

Vader comes in a close second for me, Han Solo third.

Hans Solo...fast car, a gun, got the girl, wouldnt say "I love you too"...he was the man.

Darth Vader............the whole story revolves around him

I always thought General Grievous was pretty cool, for a badguy. Boba Fett is up there, too.

As a character, Boba Fett is pretty one dimensional. I think you can count his number of lines in the movies on one hand, and he enjoys no real character development. Also, he dies like a bitch. What, with being knocked into the giant, tooth-filled vagina in the desert.

Han Solo probably has the most actual character and presence, and has a definitive character arc throughout the movies. I'd probably go with him as "best character."

This topic should not include anyone from the newer movies filled with faggotry.

Star Wars, Empire and Jedi.

That being said, I am going with Obi Wan Kenobi.

He was so cool he was the action figure you got for free in cereal boxes.

Hmm "best character" was a poor choice of words. I should have said "favorite".

How does Arfcom not love Boba Fett??? He was a multiple-gun person, with his universe's equivalent of an RPG strapped to his back everywhere he went, regardless of company. Total BAMF.

Robot Chicken ruined Boba Fett for me.

Jabba is seriously under utilized, Boba was my favorite back in the 80-82 period but the fanboy love for him in the 90's killed off my love there, I thought that the SW films lacked female characters real girls/women could relate to. Vader is the all time best bad guy , Yoda was cool too, Jar Jar sucked but then again I don't really consider the prequels true SW films.

I had this 'action' figure...it was just called 'power droid' so it had a name too? interesting.

I think that Solo is the most interesting character from a writing/development standpoint, but... I dunno. Boba Fett just looks awesome, and you know he's got to have a crazy back story to get that Mandalorian armor.

Darth Vader is one of my all time favorite character period. After him, I'd have to say Yoda.

Boba Fett, all the way!

Followed by Han Solo, the smuggler that shot first. 3rd runner up would be a biker scout, just because that have that sweet speeder bike.

Regardless of how he got out, he still sort of went out like a bitch.

D'Harran, he was in the Bounty Hunter series, he had a giant laser cannon mounted to his shoulders.

So if I was to put up a poll, what characters should it contain?

So far, I'm thinking

Fett
Solo
Chewbacca (he's pretty awesome too)
Emperor Palpatine
Darth Vader
Admiral Ackbar
Wedge Antilles
Pie...?

I will give you that....pretty goofy way to get removed from the action...Lucas was giving us a taste of what was to come in the prequels...

Hit in the jetpack by a guy with hibernation blindness and in to the great pit of Carkoon, IIRC...

...but if you always carry an extra thermal detonator, you can get around many problems.

Boba Fett was set up as a bad ass (and like all iconic Star Wars villains) got punked out like a little bitch in the movies.
Han Solo was a badass.

But I gotta go with Chewbacca. Nobody else gets mentioned in the context of ripping someone's arms off.

I forgot about him, Dengar was also a cyborg though.Its been about ten years since I read those books.

That's "haute"

Here's Dengar, you were right:

One of the few characters in the Starwars universe that was skilled enough in combat to kill multiple Jedi (without having the perks of the force, I mean.) Anyone who HUNTS Jedi is a badass.
