So often in movies, audiences cheer on the hero, laugh at the sidekick, and swoon over the heroine. But what about those forgotten, pushed-aside, characters who so often are indirectly responsible for the success of the main characters? So, I pay tribute to the forgotten by starting this thread.

Who is the best non-main character from the OT. Since this is the "Star Wars: Episode IV-VI" please refrain from characters in the PT...unless you just have to.

The best non-main character? Wedge Antilles! He fought in the Battle of Yevin, fought against the walkers on Hoth, and fought against the 2nd Death Star over the forest moon of Endor. He's a definite hero in his own right. Tho, I was watching ESB the other day, and I thought I saw wedge explode in that snow speeder, or was that someone else?

Salacious Crum

I agree, Wedge Antilies also

That was not Wedge search for Han and Luke on Hoth. It was some else. Wedge is the best secondary character in the OT.

No, not in that scene. He was the one in the battle of hoth who had the bleeding nose and such, and when he was going after another walker, I thought it was his speeder that was shot and blown up, right before Luke's gets shot down. I could be mistaken tho.

Overall Wedge

wedge Antilles. This is why

i see wedges... men... cover your butts

Could someone explain the whole Wedge Antilles thing to me? He's in the movies for about three minutes total, and he doesn't even do anything very interesting. Is this a guy thing?

Like Boba.

Say C, say H, say E, say W!

He is fat, He is back!
Chew chew chew!
Bacc , bacc, bacca!

Yes, but even I can see how Boba is cool.

Oh yeah.

Give Wedge some credit. He survived the entire trilogy

He did. He's Luke's buddy. He helped destroy TWO Death Stars. No one can say the same.

It has got to be Jabba the Hutt. We are not talking about a farm boy friend of luke here - we are talking about a renowned gangster and crime lord of the outer rim.

And before you say....yeah but he died at the hands of a girl. This only came about due to a very random chance meeting between Luke Skywalker (future Jedi) and Han Solo - if not for this Jabba would still be alive and well!

Nothing is random in SW.

Why would dying at the hands of a girl make him less cool?

If a girl tried to strangle me, I'd say to her, "Hey, missy! Why don't you knit me a sweater-- and stop dressing me up like a ballerina-- and making me watch while you have sex with some guy on my father's bed!"

yep, good point chik4lit.
I guess I meant dying at the hand of someone you wouldn't expect to have a strong physical presence or been trained in combat (she is a princess remember).

Wedge is a bit of a straight edge character though. I can see the appeal, and in the story he was the nuts in a cockpit, but nothing in his character during the OT really endeared him.

Boba Fett is a cool character, and I like the fact that he is the Man With No Name too. And even if he is an obvious choice, squeals a bit when he dies and has had his mystery raped away from him, he has some sublime credentials.

Understood.

Wedge and Boba are two pretty awesome choices, but what about Wickit? :P

Ootcha?

yeah gotta go with wedge.

YES!

The Fett gets my vote, if he qualifies.

I guess he does.

ITS A TRAP!!!

Chewie all the way

Ugh, the carpet? His greatest moment in the EU was when he was crushed by a moon. Lol, I loved that.

omg where was this so i can find it, and relish every second of it?

Vector Prime. Best book in NJO.

its a novel? darn. Star wars eu is just too corny to be a novel. Comic book i can understand, but novel, no. Id much rather read shakespeare, tolkien, or dickens if im going to seriously read....

EU ALERT!!! Take it somewhere else.

aw common im just trying to get this dangerously off topic and get it moved/closed

It's working.

haha i love it when you do that smilie... maybe its because im part evil...

Do you like chicken burgers?

Only when they're bloody.

eeew salmonella.

Yummy.

eee my mum wouldnt want me to talk to you. you are strange.

Indeed... But err... you're not suggesting YOU're normal, do you?

no, i would be lying tremendously to suggest that. either that or everybody is strange exept for me... cheers

That makes sense.

I'm your sort of guy that would blend in that pub scene at the beginning of 'American Werewolf in London'. Thats the mother of strange - right there

wow u are strange.

i take that as a compliment

You sure you're not more like the people in the movie theatre later on?

WHAT?!!!! Amazing.

Boba Fett
He only gets 30 lines if you include his scream as he falls into the sarlacc
but he is still the best character ever!!
