For me it would be the wise goblin man Yoda, an absolute classic jedi who spits truth and teaches the next generation about the force.

"Do or do not, there is no try" - Yoda, 1980

What about you, fellow jedi or sith, what character brings you closer to the force?

R2D2. I firmly believe that the joke is true that he's constantly swearing up a storm and knows basically everything but everybody who hears his stories just thinks he's making shit up for laughs.

Darth Sidious is literally an evil god emperor. The fact that the power of love defeated him in Episode 6 was poor writing by Lucas.

[–] growingentropy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago

The Care Bear Stare got him.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago

Lio Partagaz the ISB leader in Andor. He is an amazing example of the extreme competency of the empire, and why they should be feared. If the empire was full of the bumbling idiots depicted in most of the media, they wouldn't be an empire.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

This depends. Qi-Gon Jinn saying "concentrate on the moment, feel don't think" oh my, and he does seem very dedicated and not so political.

But R2D2 gets it done. He is a great character every time he appears.

My man R2-D2. Took no shit from anyone, did what he thought was right, was around from the beginning, and survived practically everything. Plus was a loyal friend to Threepio even when he was acting like an idiot

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

When I was a teen I always wanted to get my hands on a machine that makes subtitles on tapes or however TF it was done in the 90s and make my own version where R2 is just absolutely foul mouthed and abusive the whole time.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

Without R2 ANH would have gone very differently.

Cal Kestis, his story is awesome and also really interesting. I don’t think we’ve ever seen a twist to the dark side as good and gradual as his in videogame form. I personally can’t wait for the next game

I always liked Qui-Gon.

A Jedi who was always true to his faith in the force and never fell into to the politics of the order.

[–] Yelena@programming.dev 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Obi-Wan Kenobi for me too. He's wise, calm under pressure, and a skilled Jedi who is always there when you need him, whether as a mentor or a defender of peace and justice in the galaxy

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

as a mentor

ummmmm

Be careful when practicing with him tho. He has a tendency to delimb his opponents.

[–] SineIraEtStudio@midwest.social 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Revan. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic.

[–] thrawn@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

A lot of people like Kreia from KOTOR2 but Revan will always have my heart. My favorite SW character, though canon trilogy Thrawn probably ties.

I started reading some of the books again a couple years ago and every time Bane or Tenebrous think about Revan, I always smile a little inside. Greatest Sith Lord in my eyes.

Chewbacca. Because I am also large, hairy, and communicate in a series of grunts and growls

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It was pretty much Obi-Wan until I saw Rogue One, Cassian Andor is just a great character, maybe because of the way Diego Luna portrays him. The way he analyses his environment and the way convoluted schemes around him play out is some of the best the franchise has to offer.

[–] MentallyExhausted@reddthat.com 3 points 21 hours ago

It’s really nice to see a normal person resisting fascism instead of just magical space wizards.

Salacious Crumb for the galactic win

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My Yorkie looks exactly like salacious crumb at times.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Is that was you call it? I call it my Wookie, but I haven't shaved down there in a while

[–] Lighttrails@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

R2-D2. That spunky little droid is the only reason there is a Skywalker Saga!

[–] sntx@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

War is intolerable. We have been deceived into thinking that we must be a part of it. I say the moment we committed to fighting, we already lost.

She is driving everyone crazy but she cares so much, and empathize with her so much.

Man, the clone wars really fucked me up didn't it...

Always loved me some Mara Jade and Talon Karrde.

[–] Zonetrooper@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Absolutely solid choice both.

Talon isn't that deep of a character, but he's a great look at a smuggler who "made it". Mara, meanwhile, is just distilled awesome.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Darth Momin

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Darth jar jar if we're allowing any peripheral characters/universes.

Otherwise, to me, ol palpy palpy poopoo would be the most interesting man in that galaxy. he controlled the galactic empire for a while. used it to expand power and presence, and sought immortality. etc.

now whether or not I approve of him being in IX... well... let's just say that wasn't him but a revived amalgamation of several sith.

I'm not very well versed in the lore, but didn't he basically follow Plagueis's plan?

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Ahsoka Tano.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 points 1 day ago

Jaina Solo aka Sword of the Jedi

insert explanation that I'm too tired for

[–] Zonetrooper@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Grand Admiral Thrawn - but only the EU version.

Really a fascinating character in so many respects. One of the more complex and difficult to decipher ones. Was he really a genius out for the good of the galaxy? Or a social status-climber willing to latch on to any cause he could while serving his own ends? Were his more questionable deeds really done regretfully "for the greater good", or was that just an excuse?

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In the card game, I was super familiar with this guy, but it was the only card in the game that I had no clue where it came from.

Later, I learnt that is part of a junked 1940's Derwent jet engine. (Scott Manley)

[–] CuriousRefugee@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I loved the SW card game as a kid, but everyone wanted to play Magic instead. I will admit, however, that the rules probably weren't the greatest. You just played for that 1 game out of 20 where you actually managed to get the right cards out to blow up the Death Star or superlaser a planet, or had a Vader vs. Luke fight.

Also IG-88 had a whole backstory in the EU (now SW Legends) where there were FOUR of him

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

And one became the Death Star.
