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?

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

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

Without R2 ANH would have gone very differently.

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week 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.

[-] Yelena@programming.dev 14 points 2 weeks ago

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 2 weeks ago

as a mentor

ummmmm

Revan. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic.

[-] thrawn@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks 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.

[-] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] Lighttrails@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

Ahsoka Tano.

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...

[-] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

Always loved me some Mara Jade and Talon Karrde.

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)

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 2 weeks ago

And one became the Death Star.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

Ahsoka Tano.

[-] crawancon@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 points 2 weeks ago

Jaina Solo aka Sword of the Jedi

insert explanation that I'm too tired for

[-] sntx@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks 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.

Salacious Crumb for the galactic win

My Yorkie looks exactly like salacious crumb at times.

Glup Shitto is the coolest, i cannot believe nobody's mentioned him yet

[-] Zonetrooper@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks 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?

[-] B312@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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

Finn (FN-2187)

He follows his heart so radically. I admire that.

Darth Momin

[-] vodkasolution@feddit.it 1 points 2 weeks ago

I can't explain why but maybe Kylo Ren

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week 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 1 week 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.
