Tell us who the greatest ever Star Wars character is for $2

Posted by Alex Sinclair in Film & TV

I've got a great feeling about this! Whether you've read all of the books and watched every animated series or you've only seen the original trilogy, we want to know who your favourite Star Wars character is and why. It can be anyone from canon and non-canon sources, and while this is a Just About Film & TV bounty, we will accept characters who've never appeared on screen.

All that said, if you suggest a character from the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special, we may have to disqualify you. We're a non-judgemental and non-gatekeeping community, but even we have limits!

Kanan Jarrus / Caleb Dume

Kanan survived Order 66 as a young boy thanks to his master, Depa Billaba. He never got to finish his Jedi training, which constantly made him doubt his abilities. Even when training Ezra he seeks to better himself and master his skills. It's the classic underdog story that begins as a rogue like cowboy character. Eventually as he begins to train Ezra he shows more responsibility and grows as a character. I Hate Love the ending but I see how that has to happen for story purposes and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Ooooh! - this is tough.

Scrbzy has already mentioned this, but i feel that Kylo Ren is a vastly underated character.

He seemed to be on a precipice of good and evil at more points during the course of his appearances than possibly any other character (even more so than LS for example).

I can't for the life of me remember the name of the planet, but where Kylo is fighting with Rey and there surrounded by the planet that was basically imploding, and there is all the fire and ice around them, the light and shade of good and evil, heaven and hell etc definitely feel that his character was being torn apart and caused him to be very conflicted emotionally during the course of his appearances.

Ahsoka Tano

My favourite Star Wars character is Ahsoka Tano ❤️, and her appearance in 2023 was fantastic! She's a remarkable character for many reasons; check out her detailed wiki page if you're not familiar (it's impressively thorough, with a 116-page PDF!). What captivates me most is her development. Initially introduced in the Clone Wars as an impulsive, rebellious teen, we witness her evolution into a true Jedi. Her transformation culminates in the recent TV series centered on her, where she emerges as a mature, composed Jedi, embodying the very essence of the Jedi's beliefs and path.
