Who was your favorite Jedi, Sith, and non-Force-user?

Mine are:

Jedi: Mace Windu

Sith: Darth Bane

Non-Force-User: Boba Fett

Boba Fett -> Karen Traviss. Ugh.

Jedi: Mace Windu / Obi-Wan Kenobi / Luke Skywalker
Sith: Darth Bane / Darth Vader
Non-Force-User: R2-D2

Jedi: Farfalla
Sith: Bane
Jedi/Sith: Ulic
Non-Force-User: Bomo Greenbark

wow. not even trying to cloak your identity anymore eh, noobaris?

jedi=Zayne Carick
Sith=The Exile (i dont give a @#%# if she was supposed to be lightside)
non force user=Grand admiral Thrawn

I like the spelling Nebaris not doubt after DarthSith's typo.

Admiral Thrawn would be my second choice for non-Force-user.

Jedi= revan/luke/ obi-wan
Sith=Vader(the original)
Non= Canderous ordo/N-11 Ordo

thrawn is really the type of leader i could follow. He wont choke you to death if you breach protocol.
minion-"im sorry if i spoke out of turn"
thrawn-"im not palpatine..."

Jedi: Mace Windu
Sith: Freedon Nadd
NFU: Padme

Jedi: Mace (at least he had the gusto to kill an unarmed opponent when it was required)
Sith: Vader (c'mon, the original Star Wars badass many of us grew up with)
Thrawn: (brilliant, rewards creative innovation)

Putting Revan or the Exile as your favorite anything is a farce, really...

Jedi: Obi-Wan Kenobi, the epitome of a Jedi Knight and the first Jedi we meet
Sith: Darth Vader, for the same reasons as TG
Non-Force: Han Solo, because he shot first

Jedi: Revan as Light Side. Shut the **** off with Revan he is one of the few who turned away form darkness / Obi-Wan
Sith: Revan dark side, Traya; explained in another thread why
NFU: none

jedi - yoda/obi 1
sith - vader
non - R2D2/Han solo

Jedi: Obi-Wan- because he is the perfect jedi
Sith:Bane- because he kicks a$$ and his books rock.
NFU: Jar Jar Binks- because he is stupid and funny.

Watch the language, and I find Revan to be inexorably boring. People don't come to love characters simply through their actions, but actions are all Revan has to go off of. He doesn't have any character development other than his name and what he is; we don't know his personality or real opinions on anything because all of his personality and opinions belong to the player controlling him.

I believe Ush has called it a new form of narcissism.

You can change the way he speaks, his decisions, or how light or dark he is; but him being a jedi knight after the reign as a dark lord is canon
and i've played with jaden, kyle and exile too
though in kotor 2 you can rich a higher level with more powers and the same thing with light and these things i like him more than the exile
boring? you wanted to play with 4 main characters to not get bored?:-|
we've seen him only in a game not in 6 movies or in dozens of books like luke, anakin, bane (still in 2 books it's revealed almost everything to know about him)
you maybe like vader or luke... your decision though i'm not seeing something special at them like you're doing with revan
after all... peace

I'm going against the grain with my choices here (as per my pro-EU bias), so here goes!

Jedi: NJO Luke
Sith: Darth Caedus
Non-Force user: HK-47

HOW COULD YOU PEOPLE FORGET HK-47?!

Jedi: Obi-Wan Kenobi, simply because he was the ideal Jedi; but he still maintained a sense of humor and a likeable persona.
Sith: Darth Sidious. The ultimate incarnation of evil.
Non-Force User:Boba Fett. Because he's just badass.

I didn't mean that KOTOR was boring, it is plenty of fun to play through! And yes, I realize that the Light Side ending is consider canon as far as the Expanded Universe goes.

My point was just that Revan really has no character, pun intended. People remember Vader not only for his actions, but for how he acted and what he said and so on. Revan doesn't have that.

for that, the exile has no character either. no character where you can change his reactions and actions in a video game has any character, by that logic.

Jedi: Count Dooku

Sith: Darth Tyranus

Non-Force User: Grand Moff Tarkin
http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/4941/129902758grandmofftarkin2ym5.jpg

wow, dont blame you for liking dooku and tyrranus, but obviously, you have a thing for geezerz (rofl)

Meh, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee are old school. Easily the two best actors in the saga. I enjoy watching their performances upstage those around them (Dooku more so than Tarkin, for obvious reasons).

i would have said that james earl jones, harrison ford, and Christopher lee were the three best actors in the saga, (in order of least to greatest).

James Earl Jones hardly acted. His voice over was superb, no doubts about it, but actualy physically performing in front of a camera is a different thing entirely.

Harrison Ford was good. Definatly one of the best in the OT, but I wouldn't rank him in the top three.

1. Christopher Lee.
2. Peter Cushig
3. Ian McDiarmid
4. Liam Neeson
5. Harrison Ford

i guess so yea, except i havent heard of 2&3 except for in star wars.

Hmm... Jedi I think I'm going with Mace Windu. Sith, Darth Sidious, undoubtedly.

Non-Force users Durge, General Grievous and Han Solo.

whatever

Jedi: Erm........... Bastila (lack of opposition)
Sith: Revan/ Bane- revan has got a character, you just need to look for it.
NFU: HK-47- just f*uckin' hilarious.

well, then let's hope for a novel to show us his opinions, his way of speaking and anything else you can see

Jedi- Quinlan Vos
Sith- Darth Maul
doesn't need the force- Boba Fett

second choice:

Jedi- Mace
Sith- Darth Vader RotS
nfu- Jaing Skirata

Yeah, I loved HK-47, one of my favorites as well. Actually, he's probably one of the reasons why I have played KOTOR more than five times.

No, you got it all wrong there.

As hard as it is to place actors in any numerical superiorty over each other, the throne really goes to Sir Alec Guinness, even you can't begrudge him that. No one can match the gravitas of such a great actor as that, and I'm sure Lee and Cushing, while modest men in their field and about their work, would acknowledge that. Doctor Zhivago, Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, Kind Hearts and Coronets, The Ladykillers, Passage To India and my personal favourite, The Quiller Memorandum. I am not just listing them as the films he has appeared in (which were all great) but his performances in them. Top of his field.

Christopher Lee is up there, as is Peter Cushing, although both had there best work elsewhere, and to that I would also give Cushing the edge. Cushing had some great roles in his time which, I have to say, were alot more diverse than Lee's. His role as Winston Smith in the original adaptation of 1984 is phenominal.

McDiarmid doesn't deserve a say in the matter in my opinion, while he hit the right notes occasionally, some of it was just awful and cringeworthy: I didn't know whether to laugh or not in Revenge of the Sith. True, you can't deny Palpatine is sinister, but there is a line that is crossed when the character just becomes pantomime.

Liam Neeson is a fine actor, and it is a role well built for him. But his impression, while strong, isn't lasting. It is a shame because I enjoyed the character for what it's worth. Same could be said of McGregor, but to a much lesser degree; he is a fine, fine actor (Shallow Grave anyone?) but the character is so diluted that there isn't anything left for him to play with. They try and give Obi-Wan the cocky lines that, if Solo had been present, would have been dished to him. Sadly, it doesn't work.

Harrison Ford is a completely different kettle of fish to the others, so much so that they are incomparable. His presence and delivery make movies, literally, into franchises, but he does not have the gravitas nor the finesse of the more classically trained. He is an American actor, an embodiment of alot of things which allow American cinema to develop outside of the snobbish Theatrical circles that hindered a true British cinema. I rate him highly as a leading man for a certain kind of film, and I love the films he has appeared in, but he can be considered limited in some ways.

As for the rest (I know I've gone off on one), I'd say Han Solo is my favourite character in the entire saga, thus being my favourite everyman devoid of that ridiculous Force malarkey. Obi-Wan is my favourite Jedi, possibly because of his role within the Skywalker story (Quite tragic in some ways, but not too much so; no need for Lucas to feel too pleased with himself) and the actors who portrayed him. As for favourite Sithy-thingme, I'll go with Vader. Mainly for this:

^ Good summary.

Yes, I've seen this, it's truly hilarious.

I completely agree with every word, Exanda. Well said.

aye, i had forgotten about alek guinnes. he was in star wars, wasn't he? Even though he fought like a 90 yearold compared to christopher lee.

Because Christopher Lee is the shizz.

o yea

Because he had a sunt double and alot of CGI.

ssshhh! anything else you want to ruin for me?

No matter, its rumoured that during his distinguished career Christopher Lee has been in more sword fights than any other actor. Quite impressive if I do say so myself.

Aye, that's impressive as it stands.

indeed
Christopher Lee ftw!

Jedi- Yoda:
Sith- Maul: probably because we don't have to listen to him prattle on about his own power... to be honest, i don't like sith.
Non- Padme's hot, but Fett is just cool. Thrawn's a genius. So yeah, those three.

wasn't he the six fingered man in the princess bride too? do magic fights count cause christopher lee was saruman.

Jedi - Obi Wan or Jolee Bindo
Sith - Darth Revan
Non - Carth Onassi

Griffball?

yea. I only played the original halo, and unreal tournament 2004 and they have a basketball like bomb based game, so i know what he is talking about. His new one isn't as cool...

RA was a good game though. Hopefully Halowars will be as good.

What was RA?

Are they coming up with another halo game? i think they are just overmilking a good success by now if they are.

Well Halo originally did start being an RTS so it doesn't surprise that they would want to go back to their original idea.

hmm. good thing they went to fps, its probably the most popular videogame worldwide aside from mario.

Its amazing how much a thread can evolve in only a few days.

Peter Jackson sucks?

The cigarettes do, apparently.
