Re: Favorite Star Wars Character from original trilogy
Apparently you don't appreciate him very much ... he is the only character with NO votes currently. Or perhaps people were confused as to whether they should vote for Obi-Wan or Ben?

Had to think about this for a long time, but went with Yoda. Even today when I watch Empire, I don't see Luke talking to a puppet. I see Yoda, the Jedi Master. Frank Oz's best work.

Boba Fett went out like a bitch. Never understood his following.
I chose Luke Skywalker. He's the one with all the responsibility.

Growing up it was always Obi Wan Kenobi. Unfortunately how they handled him in the prequels ruined the character for me and that does affect my vote in this poll, so I switched to Luke.
I still find Boba Fett's popularity mystifying. How does a character that barely got any screen time and gets offed in a ridiculous way become the Trilogy's most famous bit character? I do admit he had the coolest spaceship in the original Trilogy.

Han Solo.
He's what truly separated the Original Trilogy from the Prequel Trilogy. He's so down to earth and his sarcastic dialog deflated a lot of tension to made sure the OT didn't take itself too seriously.

Except he wasn't "offed" in the original trilogy.

Re: Favorite Star Wars Character from original trilogy
When we say Vader...it's just meant ONCE he becomes Vader, right? Not the whole Anakin Skywalker part BEFORE he became Vader? Right?
Also...Han Fuckin' Leia In the Closet Solo.
The little kid in me is still polarized by seeing a crusty old white fuck beneath the Vader suit when I knew it was James Earl Jones from the voice. Most traumatic event for me in SW.

Re: Favorite Star Wars Character from original trilogy
Yep, since Vader is the only one who appears in the original trilogy. I'm not voting and waiting for the favorite character in the prequel trilogy thread. There's going to be so many options, they're going to have to add more options to the maximum amount you can put in polls. Can't wait!

He was the very first "new" character introduced as a teaser to TESB. The action figure was a big deal. Too bad Boba Fett himself never was.

Nah. I picked Luke. Solo was cool in the first two movies. In ROTJ he went from cool mercenary/scoundrel to goofball comic relief. That's what happens, kids, when you get frozen in carbonite for a spell...

Re: Favorite Star Wars Character from original trilogy
Your original statement was that he wasn't offed in the original trilogy which he was. There's not a shot of Boba Fett coming out of the Sarlacc Pit in Return of the Jedi, right? That shit was in the expanded universe stuff, right? I think your original statement was meant to correct those complaining about Boba Fett and to prove that you read but I just think we didn't care because Boba Fett's a little bitch.

Wait, is jjcool citing Dark Empire, one of the shittiest, most awful and unoriginal titles in the EU?
