I am going to be including so many random Jedi.

Can we include anyone no matter how big their role in the films? Do (now non-canon) Expanded Universe characters count? Or doesn't it really matter as they'll likely just end up below the top 50?

I guess you could do Wicket for 'ewoks' as he's the best of that bunch anyway. The other Ewoks also probably have names but I don't know them off the top of my head.

I'd say for ones which have like a key lead character under the group, nominate them but for something like Stormtroopers where there isn't any specific ones then that can be a group!

I will attempt to do this tomorrow although the thought of it seems very overwhelming. I'd say I have firm favourites in Vader and C3PO and then Yoda/Luke but after that I'm really not sure where to go! Also unsure how to rank the newbies from VII some of whom were utterly fantastic alongside the classics but I'll have a think. Also also will Anakin and Vader be counted separately? unsure.gif Please say yes, given they are entirely disparate entities and are world's apart in their characterisations..

I put Maz in my list from the new movie, she was just the sort of quirky character I love but she doesn't get enough love online sad.gif

Good choice! I found her interesting and I loved the flashback/vision scenes & fallout with her and Rey.

I'll probably rank the likes of Rey and Finn and especially Kylo Ren quite highly because even though they're just getting started, there is a lot of scope for them and they were fantastic throughout VII (as well as BB-8). They got the casting spot on in the new one in my opinion!

Ooh good. I have included one non-film character as he plays a major role in one of my favourite Star Wars games, and two Jedi who aren't that prominent but you do get to see in the films. The list did get crowded quite quickly, so the rest of it is mostly rather sensible.

I only put two only-VII characters in, I'd like to give most of them a bit more time.

Will pm mine soon. Been so busy, I forgot to actually rate the films drama.gif My fave films rotate though depending on my mood so it's probably best I didn't contribute.
