Justice for Aayla Secura, nicest looking Jedi around.

Lovely to see a few characters I'd have never expected to make it on here, some even I have no idea who they are. Amanaman? Sy Snootles? Bring the diversity anyway.

Both are from return of the Jedi (jabbas palace) and are famous 80s action figures, along with yak face. Sy snootles is the singer in jabbas palace.

Ah. See I recognised Salacious Crumb as being from that part but I had no idea what the most of the other assorted aliens in those scenes were called. And of course I'd have no idea about the action figures.

Justice for SNOKE because that is his name, not STOKE.

Evidently I wasn't the only person to vote for Shaak Ti ohmy.gif

Aww poor Jango Fett sad.gif Though he wasn't really given time to develop in his film I guess. Nien Nunb, Watto & the Jawas too <3 No huge losses overall though.

No big losses so far. Some potentially brilliant characters that didn't quite go all the way.

I'm a little surprised to see Darth Tyranus there but then I'm guessing that's because people haven't realised that's Count Dooku's Sith title

Are they the same character?

Had a feeling I might have missed a couple out who have the same name as another character so please tell me if there are any others!

It's the only one I can see (unless the internet is right and Snoke is Plagueis but I personally doubt that)

Removed Darth Tyranus from the list and added the score with Count Dooku which is later to come!

I thought there was something about Tyrannus in here but I couldn't remember what! I vaguely remember his name being mentioned and linked to Dooku now I come to think of it tongue.gif

25) General Grievous 33 (19 Points: Spun, 14 Points: Severin)
26) Stormtroopers 33 (14 Points: Torresgirl)
27) Anakin Skywalker 26
28) Maz Kanata 24
29) Kit Fisto 22 (11 Points: Iz, Josh)
30) Admiral Ackbar 21

The scores in the brackets are any scores the character got over 10!

Kicking off the top 3 are Admiral Ackbar (a veteran commander) and Kit Fisto (an alien Jedi). I can't really remember either of them at all off the top of my head. Into 28th with a solid 24 points is our first character from the newest entry into the franchise, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, in the form of Maz Kanata, voiced by Oscar winner Lupita N'Yongo. Maz is over a 1,000 years old and views history as a struggle against the dark side and is force sensitive. Maz was a very interesting character in the small part of the movie she appeared in, and hopefully a character we will see more often and get to know more about in the upcoming sequels. General Grievous was a Separatist military strategist who was a feared Jedi hunter that appeared in Revenge Of The Sith. Grievous scored all his points from a nearly top score from Spun and another high score from Severin. The Stormtroopers just miss the top 25 at 26th, I actually didn't realise till just now that they'd be lower than Grievous so may have missed a high score in there. The Stormtroopers are characters that have appeared in the Star Wars movies and are meant to be menacing and controlling but usually aren't. Still good characters though.

And just lol at Anakin Skywalker completely bombing in 27th with only 26 points from 17 voters!! Despite being the main character of the prequels, Anakin was widely hated on (and won Jake Lloyd a Razzie nomination for Phantom Menace + Hayden Christiansen two Razzie wins for Attack of the Clones & Revenge Of The Sith), though I still expected him to do better than this! He was originally a Jedi Knight and we saw his progress of how he became a Jedi in the prequels- mainly Attack Of The Clones. Though Anakin eventually turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader after being tempted by Palpatine. Anakin is also famous for his love plot with Queen Amidala/Padme (who is still to come) which was critically reviled by audiences and critics. Skywalker tried to tempt Obi-Wan Kenobi & Queen Amidala to join him but failed and this was the last we saw of Anakin in human form. I'm still shocked he came this low despite all the hatred for the character (especially considering a character who beat him).

#21-#24 coming up later and features 2 well known characters. Who could they be?

It's difficult for Anakin as he is Darth Vader who will surely appear much higher up and is much more memorable than Young Anakin.

Grievous flopping sob.gif

Anakin is a very important character to the plot of course but his personality can be a bit of a hit and miss for me. It's quite thrilling seeing him have his Dark Side moments and then finally turn to the Dark side fully in III dance.gif

I wonder if Clonetroopers are higher than the Stormies laugh.gif

I really want to like Maz, but I feel like there's something missing from her character. Something doesn't connect with me and I don't find her all that interesting or unique.
