Most respected SW character

Hmmm...well...

Good guys:
I would think Yoda is the most respected Jedi because he has everything that you can like. He has power, wisdom, great fighting abilities but still he can always make fun out of anything including himself (most obvious in ESB but he still does things like that in the PT - for example when Obi-Wan is searching for Kamino).

Obi-Wan himself follows as a close second - he simply is "the badass".

Bad guys:
Dooku easily. He has everything a bad guy should have. Intelligence, power, great fighting abilities, arrogance and of course Christopher Lee did a great job with the character.

Always have liked him. But when the pre-ROTS rush of moronic fanboys came out saying Sidious and Anakin could and would pwn all it was tiring. Top that off with Darth Somebody arguing semantics trying to put Sidious a level higher than he really is was also tiresome.

I also detest KOTOR obsession and fanboyism, and I like KOTOR. It's possible.

I get the impression most of the fans dont respect dooku...I mean you cant blame them after you see dooku get his ass handed to him twice and then die a pathetic death. The most respected bad guy has to be vader, even people who have never seen star wars recognize him due to his iconic status.

Vader was an icon of evilness from the impression that most people (including myself) had from the OT. He was pure evil...force choking people, killing people here and there, cutting his own sons hand off and so on...Basically he did strike fear in the hearts of his opponents.

But now after the PT that picture has changed - at least for myself because of Anakin. Come on...I always thought of Vader going dark because he's just that evil, he wanted power or something like that. And why did he do it: Because he wanted to save his big love from death. How pathetic. The entire story of Anakin is somehow stupid...the love for his mother, for Padme. His naive confidence in Sidious as well as his naive view on certain things (thinking he should powerful enough to save the life of every single being in the galaxy).

By any means the PT has pretty much destroyed the image of Vader being the ultimate evil and therefore his "icon" status. I still like OT Vader as a character but I have lost very much respect for him because of the PT.

I tend to just look at the PT as a bad dream.

Han Solo?

C'mon guys, he made the Kessel run, shot in cold blood, and is a hero in the galaxy.

All the while with his famous wink and grin.

Well, I disagree.

Dooku is the more respected villain. Because, in truth, he wasn't truly evil. Misguided and used. A pawn.

Sidious is THE most evil person in Star Wars. And he has everything a villain should. If he can manipulate Leia, Luke, Dooku, and Yoda, and worm his way up the hierarchy to effectively reign over his order's greatest enemy, and then destroy its government and his opposition, as well as raise the most powerful empire in the galaxy's history, I'd pit him against ANY Star Wars villain or ANY villain in media.

I dont understand...

Wouldnt sidious be more respected being that like you said he was obviously more evil and overall a better villian?

I think I am the most respected character.

39% of the people hold Yoda in high regard, 24% Sidious, 32% Count Dooku, 30% Darth Vader, 37% Obi Wan Kenobi, 12% Luke Skywalker and 67% Overlord.
