What's your favorite SW character?

Here's my favorite
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Not sure if I have an absolute favorite. Luke was cool, until he grew up, got all jaded, and almost killed his currently innocent nephew while he slept.

My favourite comes from an animated series and was never mentioned in a live action movie.
Early in the Clone Wars Anakin Skywalker got himself a padawan; a togruta female by the name of Ahsoka Tano, who Anakin nicknamed “Snips”.
The character took a bit of getting used to, but she really grew tobe interesting as her story unfolded.

I have heard that the animated series did a good job, but I never got around to watching it.

The show really filled in a lot of gaps and introduced some really fascinating characters. My only real complaint is that they resurrected Darth Maul.
The mood of the show really helped to give a sense of why Anakin turned to the dark side, especially after Ahsoka left the Jedi order after being accused of a crime she didn’t commit.

Joe. I found his sexual ambiguity both sad and touching.
