[The Amazing Spider-Man]

Some of that list is just wrong. Very wrong.

 

[Bastila]

Oh cool will read it later I got the cover with Mace Windu on couldn't find Qui Gon

 

[Rezzo]

Hm some of those characters should have been higher like Qui-Gon Jinn

 

[Mee]

Well, at least they got #1 right.

Some of those are just on there cause they look cool.

My top 5 would be-

1. Han
2. Vader
3. Yoda
4. Obi-Wan/Ben
5. R2

 

[livrule]

Ahhhhh, Empire do enjoy a good list don't they.

Glad to see Maul in the top ten .... imo the prequels made many mistakes but I was pleased with the way they handled the Sith.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

A list of the thirty greatest Star Wars characters is like listing the 1000 most successful brands of coathangers.

 

[Gilpesh]

Ackbar is number one. The only thing I have to say about this list...

It's a sham!

Admit it, you all thought I was going to say it.

 

[<(o_o)>]

They short changed some actual characters to go with guys dressed in cool looking suits like the Storm Troopers & Tie Fighter Pilots when they were just background characters. Did anyone have a favorite Storm Trooper or Tie Fighter Pilot in the movies? LOL!

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Scout Trooper over Obi-Wan Kenobi

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Ok, they have Obi-Wan Kenobi and then Ben Kenobi, so why not an Emperor Palpatine? I know they have Sidious, but the Emperor from ROTJ was one of the best roles in the whole saga.

 

[Golgo-13]

Vader should be 1.

 

[The Kid]

Wicket is the best, shut up

 

[Golgo-13]

Wicket is the best, shut up

Helen O'Hara (The reviewer) obviously has a fetish for midgets.

 

[Apollo]

no jar jar binks??? WTF!?!

 

[The Kid]

He took a little vacation

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

No IG-88?!?!? Or dude from Cloud City who clutches his beloved ice cream maker as the Empire invades? Or head-bumping storm trooper?

 

[Hunter Rider]

I'd have put Yoda into the top 5 instead of R2 and made him number 3 but other than that the top 10 is fine with me,the rest is kinda screwy though IMO

Edit*I'd also put Kenobi in the top 10 over the Storm trooper and make him one entry instead of 2

 

[shapeshifter]

WTF was that ****

 

[Symbiotic]

Obi-Wan shouldn't be there twice. Even if he does go by a different name in episode IV. I "had a bad feeling" that Jar-Jar was gonna be on the list. Thank God I was wrong.

 

[Speedball]

Vader should be in front of Han.
Obi-wan, Padme, Mace Windu, and Ackbar should be higher than the background characters.

 

[Mister J]

No love for the Rancor or the Dianoga?

 

[Fanticon]

That list was horrible...I agree with it, just not the order...sorry, but it was pretty lame.

 

[Spider-Vader]

No Bossk!? That crap's messed up.
C-3PO should be 1.

 

[Batty Belfry]

When the list starts with Wickett I just have to say that "I have a bad feeling about this."

Tie-fighter pilot over Obi-Wan?

Lists like this drive me nuts because they're always opinions and personal preferences...

It's like Guitar World magazines top 100 guitar players, only 1/2 of your favorites are missing...
