Well lets keep in mind the only reason Yoda and Obi-Wan lived thru the Prequel trilogy is because of Bail Organa.. .so he is the greatest hero.. bc they both had to train the boy who would show his father the way to salvation
Can Anakin be the hero?
He falls into evil, but finally makes the right choice, fulfills the prophecy and conquers the darkness in himself.

If there is no Qui Gon then there is no Anakin.
If there is no Anakin there is no Luke, Leia, or Darth Vader.
So that would mean no use for the Original Trilogy AND
If there is no Obi-Wan There is no use for Yoda in the Original Trilogy.
also if there is no Obi Wan there is no Darth Vader Suit. AND
If there is no R2 there is nothing beyond the departure from Naboo in TPM.
so now i think R2 should be in the top 5
because without R2 there is no AOTC, ROTS, ANH, ESB, ROTJ
This is true, R2 is made into WAY TOO BIG of a hero. But that can't be helped, Mace Windu, stays on the good side all the way through, stays true to his vision, wants the Republic to live, only loses when Anakin cheats like the totally nonsuperpowerful wannabe jedi he is supposed to be. So we saw both sides of Anakin. Great, but it made him look weaker than it did to increase our opinion of Darth Vader, the best idea for a villian ever. So Mace, greatest swordsman in the entire series.
1) Anakin
2) Luke
3) Han
4) Leia
5) Lando
6) Clone troopers
7) Organa family
8) Padme
Notice the number (or lack of) jedi on this. Why? Because they ****ed up BADLY. Their policies were responsable for the whole Galactic Empire mess, and if it weren't for their pig headedness, Anakin would probably not have turned. Also, they lied quite a bit to Luke, or at least, veiled the truth more then was nessecary.
