My friend's favorite character is Luke. (I think; though I'm not sure.)

We had a Star Wars marathon, and she and her sister were arguing over whose jump or flip was better: Luke's in Ep. 6, or Anakin's in Ep. 2.

(Personally, I thought it was stupid.)

Hehe...my friends and I had a Star Wars marathon for New Year's Eve last year, and we counted Anakin pouts/tantrums and Luke whines. Turns out that Anakin pouts 23 times in all 6 movies (only three of which were when he was a kid), and Luke whines 17 times in the OT. :teehee:

My favorite character is, without doubt, Obi-Wan. I just love his dry humour and how he just takes everything in stride. And his accent. Can't forget the amazing accent.

Wow. Why is ESB so far down on your list of favorites? Second-worst? Any particular reason? I thought the lines, plot, and music were best in that one. RotJ is 3rd-place, but it doesn't have a thing on ESB except for the presence of the A-wings.

Oh, I just remembered. I've read Luceno's Star Wars The New Jedi Order: Agents of Chaos books, and I did enjoy those. Maybe he just wrote those for an older audience than Labyrinth of Evil. Either way, I enjoyed them a lot more.

Han is my favorite character from the movies, most likely. Luke whines too much, Obi-wan has his older self to take away from the coolness, and Leia....um...she's just not as cool as Han.

But if we go to the books, my favorite character was Jacen Solo, before the horrible turn of events in the Legacy of the Force series. Grrr. I'm so made at Jacen now.

So now I guess my favorite character is either Luke or Han.

Well, it's not that I dislike it at all. I don't dislike any of them. There are simply aspects of the others that I enjoy more. So don't look at it as second worst; look at it as fifth best. ;)
I still love ESB. It's really actually tied with ANH, but...yeah. Return of the Jedi, for me, is just the ultimate Star Wars movie. The final battle between Luke and Vader and Anakin's redemption is my favorite part of any Star Wars movie ever, with the Immolation scene coming in very close second (though Obi-Wan's dialogue in that scene is my favorite all-time). ROTJ is just so powerful.

Yes, and he's cute. :drool:

Sorry to any fans, but I can't stand Jacen. I mean, immorality is really high on my list of the worst possible sins, and he, well, is bad. I also think his whole confusedness thing during the Yuuzhan Von ordeal was kind of pathetic. Now on the other hand, I totally love Anakin Solo. If he had lived, things would be so much better.

Lol....I never would have guessed you thought that. Despite your username, and your signature. :)

That's the three best worlds combined.

LOTR, POTC, and SW.

Agreed.

Though, no matter how much I love LotR and PotC, Star Wars will always have that special place as my first love. I was 7 years old when my dad first sat me down to watch A New Hope, and I haven't looked back since. :lightsabre:

And the Ewoks! Can't forget them! They make me laugh.

My favorite character is by far Boba Fett. He is just so cool - bounty hunter, jet pack, tons of weapons. But if you go for main characters, I love R2-D2 and Han Solo.

My favorite movie? Gee, that one is hard. Um...Well, I like the OT a lot more than the PT. So probably ROTJ, ESB, ANH, ROTS, PM, AOTC. Not sure about the order on those last ones.

The Duel of the Fates was the second-best lightsaber battle....Anakin v. Obi was the best, though.
