IGN's Top 100 Star Wars Characters
- Thread starter MeanJoePhaser
- Start date
Anybody mind if we turn this thread into a place where we can post our own Top 100 lists since most everybody seems to have overwhelmingly negative opinions about IGN's list?
Let's drop it to 50 then.
I can't even name 100 characters, even though I've watched the movies and read some of the books.
1. Yoda
2. Palpatine
3. Obi-Wan
4. Han Solo
5. Grevious (mainly for the visual)
Grevious is listed at 37, above HK-47 but below Rex from the Clone Wars cartoon.
Started at 100 but got to 99 and then skipped to 40. Oola only got 99...but she got a boob out.
Tarkin at 33...heresy! Ackbar at 28! Amidala 25, Wedge 24...This list makes baby Jedi cry.
Kyle Katarn at 22...should be lower purely because of how some sections of the fan base have made him the Chuck Norris of Star Wars.
I think the top 10 will be an all movie affair, pretty much Termis' list but not in that order. I'm going to see if I can guess the highest place EU character...I'm going to go for Revan from KOTOR. I think he'll come 13th, behind Boba Fett at 12 and unlucky Lando at 11th.
I agree on the Revan bit. It would only make sense seeing as how KotoR is probably the best piece of Star Wars EU
Everyone knows the number one Star Wars character is the guy in ANH who goes "Almost there... almost there... AGGGGGGGGGGGH!"
This. Too bad it'll never be completed.
Actually, a novelization trilogy would be kind of awesome.
Thanks for the warning. I'm glad I trusted my instincts on this one. I used the Force.The Commando books are all about Mando culture and they're replete with all her little Mando curse words she loves to use. Yeah it's a little tedious

Sure there's never going to be a third KoTOR but The Old Republic will tell us what the story is at least, and Bioware being Bioware, we are sure to get a novelization of Revan's mysterious final adventures at some point.
I'd rather actually play out the story myself then read/hear about what happened centuries before the current time frame in TOR.
As for books about Revan, I highly doubt BioWare/LucasBooks would publish any novels actually starring Revan. BioWare's Mass Effect and Dragon Age novels have never featured Shepard or the Warden as main characters, because it's supposed to be up to the fans how such characters' stories are played out.

Well, Mass Effect and Dragon Age are, for all intents and purposes, still working series. KOTOR is all but dead at this point. The XBox games are pretty much irrelevant and the PC versions are becoming harder and harder to get working on newer technology.
But if The Old Republic takes off, there might be a huge profit vacuum that such novels could fill.
Plus, has it been confirmed that it will for sure summarize and close the events of KOTOR? I honestly don't know much about it (MMORPGs aren't my thing), but I was led to believe that they're trying to disconnect it as much as possible.

I guess this video from PAX pretty much confirms it. http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/mysteries-knights-old-republic
Some of those characters are from spin-off media! That doesn't count!
