Hey folks, Fuji here with a random but awesome Top Ten list. I haven't done one of these in awhile, but the topic intrigued me enough to sit down and think for enough time to warrant it. In choosing these characters I looked only to my personal favourites, as opposed to their level of importance in the grand scheme of things. Hopefully I make a good case for these ones....
10. Lobot
First up is Lobot, Lando Calrissian's chief of staff (or something) on Cloud City. I've gone into more detail in the past about how great this character is, but I thought he deserved some love on my list as well. The best part about Lobot? He GETS SHIT DONE! This guys air of authority is awe-inspiring and his weird headband computer just makes him even cooler.
9. Garven Dreis (Red Leader at the Battle of Yavin)
Yeah, I had to look up his name, but it doesn't change the fact that this guy is all kinds of awesome. From his totally obvious American accent to his gradual shift to excitement during the Death Star attack, this guy just reeks of cliche but somehow makes it work really well. Plus he gets to go out in a blaze of glory like a REAL MAN, and that's always enough to win me over.
8. Luke Skywalker
Obviously Luke would rank highly on any Fave Five list of Star Wars characters, but while I understand his importance I've always found him a little bit blah. Of course I have to include him on my list, because he's a total Jedi badass with a nifty chip on his shoulder, but he's also really wholesome, a trait that doesn't always gel with me. However, he destroyed the Death Star and basically the entire Empire by being a whiner and getting his dad to kill Emperor Palpatine. Good job Luke, a gold star for you and a spot on my list.
7. Jabba the Hutt
Is Jabba the Hutt the coolest slug-like gangster who encases people that owe him money in Carbonite ever? You won't find me arguing because I know that its just the cold hard truth. Jabba is everything you want in a slimy villain, right down to the actual slime! Plus, how can you not include a guy who had the foresight to make his henchmen put Princess Leia in the costume that we all know and love? Give this man a medal men, he deserves it.
6. Wedge Antilles
I've often likened the orange jumpsuits worn by Rebel Alliance pilots to the red shirts in Star Trek. Nothing says "we're about to see some extras get offed" quite like the sight of these dastardly uniforms, but one man in the Star Wars universe finally had enough. Wedge Antilles was not only instrumental in destroying the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin...he also helped destroy the Death Star at the Battle of Endor! Did you hear me? He destroyed TWO Death Stars while living through all the movies in death clothes. They should check his mediwhateverians count, he's probably a Jedi.
5. Obi Wan Kenobi
So yeah, this guy helped train both Luke Skywalker and his father Annakin. Allow that to sink in for a moment. He was a mentor to not only the Dark Lord of the Sith, but also his offspring, who just happened to be the Jedi that restored order to the freakin' galaxy! If that's not enough, he also enjoys riding around on really cool monsters (I refuse to look up the name), loses planets with a smile and waxes poetic on clumsy and random weapons like blasters. Like our hero Garven Dreis, Obi-Wan also had the sense to go out like a man...and he came back more powerful than Darth Vader could ever imagine. He's my hero.
4. Lando Calrissian
When Han Solo said Princess Leia would like this scoundrel, I had no idea he was also talking to me, but by gosh I do like him...a lot. Lando not only has a moustache that some men can only dream of having, he's also got this absolutely boss swagger that just makes you want to stare at him. I'm pretty sure Lando is the only character in the Star Wars universe that I'd go gay for, he's just that much man. Oh, did I mention he managed to con his way into becoming the Administrator of an entire city? In the clouds? Yeah, he's the man alright, and just look at the way he stares down that bitch of a bounty hunter Boba Fett...pure magic.
3. Darth Vader
When I think total badass that would kill me if he didn't like the cut of my jib, the first character that comes to mind is none other than Darth Vader. Cold, calculating and seemingly beyond any sense of empathy at all, Vader is the ultimate villain and the very definition of a bad guy. When he's not force choking bitches for dissing his sad devotion to that ancient religion he's busy killing everyone around him who so much as apologizes to him the wrong way. To this day, I'm suspicious of anyone in a Darth Vader costume, and usually do my best to appease them by finding the droids they're looking for or, even better, destroying escape pods that may have just "accidentally" launched from a ship.
2. Han Solo
The charming rogue just misses out on the top spot, but believe me it was not by much. Han Solo is the epitome of the anti-hero and just an all around fantastic movie character. Solo shoots green bitches before they can shoot him and then casually flips some change to the bartender and apologizes for the mess. He also seems to be the only character in the entire Star Wars universe who's aware of the very human concept of heaven and hell, or at least hell since he shouts that he'll see some loser in it if his Tauntun freezes before it reaches the third marker. It does, and do you know what Han does? He saws the crap out of its stomach with a lightsaber and shoves his buddy inside so he'll stay warm in the frigid Hoth night. Oh and for kicks, he also destroyed the shield generator that allowed Wedge and Lando to blow the damn Death Star up. He also gets to bang Princess Leia so yeah, he pretty much wins the universe.
1. Yoda
If there is anyone else truly deserving of the top spot on this list, I'd love to see them make their presence known. Of course if they did Yoda would just force toss them against a wall and then tell them that they're too old to begin any sort of meaningful training. Yoda is by far the most awesome character in the Star Wars universe and that isn't just because he's almost as old as Doctor Who. He's just one hell of a crotchety old loon who delights in messing with the minds of anyone he comes across. From getting all super-creepy and telling Luke he'll be afraid to belittling old Obi-Wan for losing a planet, Yoda is a first-class psychopath. Yet he's so damn loveable you can't help but want this guy to continue to insult and scare the crap out of you for the rest of your days. He's pretty handy with a lightsaber too, which is even crazier when you think that he'd never actually need to use it since he's perfectly capable of dropping a cave on your head. The best? He's better.
So there you have it, my return to the Top Ten and a list that I hope was real fun. As always, any and all comments are appreciated and just for fun, throw down your own lists if you want. I know a lot of you love Star Wars, so why not show how much by telling us who you love the most. The floor is yours and may the force be with you.
