Who are the greatest Star Wars heroes of all-time? Let us take a look

Embed from Getty Images Chirrut Imwe, from Star Wars: Rogue One, displayed both faith and courage. Yet, Imwe did not make my list of greatest Star Wars heroes. The Star Wars movie franchised has had some great characters over the years. In this opinion piece I will explore my list of great Star Wars heroes.

Yoda: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Last Jedi. The great Jedi Master, wise strong and can use a lightsaber. and icon of Star Wars to be sure.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi. Obi-Wan was the best part of the prequel trilogy in my opinion. Patient, wise, loyal. Not too mention became one with the Force in ghost form first.

R2-D2: Star Wars:The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker. R2 is a life saver and bails people out with regularity. To not have him on a greatest heroes list would be a huge injustice to the grest Star Wars droid.

Luke Skywalker: Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (quick baby shot) A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker. A seemingly average hero, who turns into much more. The Luke loses it all and is darker in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. Yet finds it in himself to help Rey.

There it is, my list of greatest Star Wars heroes. What’s that you say? No Han Solo? No, the bitter cargo smuggler turned Rebellion hero just missed my cut. If Solo is on your list great!

If it makes you feel better I did almost put the poor aiming Stormtroopers on my list, for regularly missing their targets and heroes while  allowing them to escape many times.

Who are the greatest Star Wars movie villains? Let us take a look

Embed from Getty Images Captain Phasma was cool looking, but the reality she did very little to make my list of great Star Wars Villains. Star Wars is well know for the heroes and villains the franchise has put out over the years. Fans argue, they agree, they are passionate. In this opinion piece I will explore my list of great Star Wars villains.

Orson Krennic: Star Wars: Rogue One, portrayed by the great Ben Medelsohn, Krennic was a strong leader who played a huge part in getting the first Death Star built. The prideful, arrogant Orson Krennic, felt overshadowed by Darth Vader and betrayed by Grand Moff Tarkin.

Grand Moff Tarkin: Star Wars: A New Hope/ Rogue One (CGI). portrayed by the late Peter Cuchings, Tarkin was a ruthless leader. Even the CGI form of Tarkin in Star Wars: Rogue One, Grand Moff Tarkin towers over Director Krennic and the brief glimpse we get of Darth Vader.

Darth Vader: Star Wars:Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Rogue One.  No greatest Star Wars villain list is, should or would be complete without Vader. He is a villain, you know you should hate but simply can not.

For me the greatest Star Wars villain, is Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine. The man played both sides in order to gain control of the galaxy. In a stunning turn of events, Emperor Palaptine, is seemingly alive and will be in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Making him the landslide greatest Star Wars baddie hands down.

That is my list and I am sticking to it. What’s that you say? No Boba Fett? No re-watching the original trilogy Fett actually did very little and got knock around by a partly blind Han Solo. No Darth Maul? No it was difficult keeping him off the list.

If it makes you feel better I did almost put Jar-Jar Binks on my greatest villain list.
