Okay my definite favorite is Luke

But I also am very fond of the two Droids, Yoda, Queen Amidala, and the young Obie Wan Kenobi from PM.

Greedo.

I liked him because he was green. My brother and I still use the term "greedo" to designate a certain shade of green. The background color of the Entmoot board is "off-greedo."

As a kid I spent hours trying to match the color in enamel paints so I could do touch up jobs on my Greedo action figures. They sometimes suffered battle damage since we tended to hurl them against my bedroom walls to simulate the effect of explosions.

Occasional arm, leg and head losses were treated with generous applications of red paint.

anakin/vader of course, luke from the 2nd half of ESB on, yoda of course, & old obi-wan of course. hey, i have a jedi thing.

i'm not as fanatic about star wars as i am about some fantasy worlds, so could someone tell me what is the expanded universe? is that the collective name for the 5000 or so SW novels i havne't got around to reading yet?

Yeah, the Expanded Universe is anything Star Wars-related that isn't a movie. This includes the many novels, comic books, video games, etc.

Fett, Maul, Watto, Qui-Gon, & R2.

Obi-Wan is the best character.

I find it hard to choose a favorite. I love Leia because of her strength and cunning and whit. I like Han because,,,well, he's Han.

Well put my votes down for Anakin/Vader, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. And Yoda too. Hee hee...notice a pattern? I don't like Luke though. He's too darn whiny! And in EU I like Mara Jade and Elegos.

oh I am begining to like Mara more and more in the books.

Mara Jade and Grand Admiral Thrawn

Excellent choices!

My three favorite EU characters (it's just wrong to pick favorites from the movies! :lol: ) are as follows:

Mara Jade: I don't think this choice really requires much explanation. I would, however, like to distance the real Mara Jade from the pathetic substitute (actually she's just undercover... ) with the purple lightsaber in Mysteries of the Sith. I would also like to point out to anyone who has not read Hand of Thrawn that what we see of her between the two sets of Zahn books is not always exactly what it seems.

Talon Karrde: Easily the best fringe character. I don't think any qualifiers are necessary for this one.

Grand Admiral Thrawn: Easily the best villain in the EU. (Maybe even the best villain, period---there are no prequels to ruin Thrawn, after all.) Personally, I'd almost rather face Darth Vader than Grand Admiral Thrawn---at least with Vader I would know I where I stood.

From the SW movies my favourite character is:

Darth Vader

Mainly due to the costume, voice and general screen presence. He was about 6'7" after all.

Difficult to pick a favourite from the EU due to sheer size, but

GA Thrawn, Mara Jade, Ghent, and Talon Karde are excellent characters.

Sincerely,

Anthony
:rollin:

If Luke is Darth Vader's son, how come he's so much shorter than his Dad?

Yoda is the greatest character. http://www.tolkientrail.com/images/gollum.gif

Greedo is kinda cool to.
