Got taken out in a crappy way but oh well
I know, right? Obviously, Sidious was supposed to be majorly powerful, but neither Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar or Saesee Tin lasted long in that fight, despite the fact that the Jedi Masters had Sidious outnumbered four to one. That was really lame. But, I guess Lucas felt it would have been foolish for Mace Windu to go against Sidious alone, so he went in with some backup, for all the good they did. |

Well, Vader was always my favorite growing up and I loved him when he was still Anakin also. So, I'd have to go with Anakin/Vader. However, Qui-Gon Jinn is a very, VERY close second.

What do you expect when a few Jedi face the power of the Dark Side? |

Something resembling realism. Four highly trained Force Masters against one should have ended differently. Of course, it couldn't end differently because we knew beforehand that Palpatine wouldst survive. They could have at least make it look like dispatching three Jedi Masters was difficult, especially since Mace Windu nearly defeated him and Yoda gave him a run for his money. |

I know who he is, I just don't understand his popularity.
I think for the whole, jedi turned Sith then redeemed himself story, Ulic Qel-Droma's is a better and far more interesting one.
Well, I think a lot of the fascination comes from the KotOR game. I mean, after all YOU were Revan  ! Thinking of KotOR: I guess my favorite character would be HK-47. Who does not love a murderous sarcastic droid  ?

The prevailing theory is that the gutteral roar coming from Palpatine when he launched himself into battle was actually a Force Scream that caused the Jedi present to take pause. Frankly, it frightened them, including Windu, giving Palps the opening he needed to take out three of them before Mace recovered and went on the offensive. |

I was joking. That fight always bothered me too, unless. . . The prevailing theory is that the gutteral roar coming from Palpatine when he launched himself into battle was actually a Force Scream that caused the Jedi present to take pause. Frankly, it frightened them, including Windu, giving Palps the opening he needed to take out three of them before Mace recovered and went on the offensive.
Where did you learn that? |

That explains why they got filleted quickly. Seriously, 4 against 1? It's no wonder the siths around here are popping their chests out |

With such a huge universe, especially now that we have a totally new EU in addition to the old Legends stuff, I find that I have to categorize my SW favorite characters.
With Legends (old EU), it's always a struggle to nail down favorites. Grand Master Luke is brilliant, power and wisdom all rolled into one, so that's an obvious choice. Kyle Katarn is legendary, going from mercenary to Jedi Battlemaster (and a snarky one at that). You have awesome Jedi like Corran Horn and Kyp Durron as well. However, I think my favorite has to be Jacen Solo, despite my mixed feelings about his arc in LotF. He has such a great period of questioning his place in the world, and I can relate to that strongly. After that, his journey through NJO is incredibly compelling, and ultimately his character arc there is absolutely my favorite.
Regarding the Prequel era, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi take the cake. Qui-Gon is Liam Neeson, and for that reason alone he's glorious, but obviously his character is fairly interesting as well (despite all the major issues with the Prequels). Obi-Wan effectively takes his training and grows as a person, finding ways to reconcile his devotion to the Jedi Order with the rebellious streak he got from Qui-Gon.
For the OT era and beyond (canon), Luke is the easy choice. His growth from bratty farm boy to noble Jedi is amazing to watch, and I can't wait to see him return in Episode VIII. Kylo Ren gets an honorable mention though, for his character's complexity - and obviously the badass Force powers he demonstrates lol
