Star Trek vs. Star Wars (and a collection of memes)

Well, between this and the crap about Jedi being hedonistic casual sex maniacs, Disney are doing a good job in mutilating the High Republic beyond all recognition.

And it had such potential when it brought in a Trandoshan Jedi as a genuinely cool character...

 

Nanu, nanu!

 

This should be fun...



Mind you, that this is not the same as "who are your top 4 favourite SW characters". I love characters like Darth Bane, Trawn and Darth Maul, but I would never consider them to be SW Mount Rushmore material.

In my opinion the SW Mount Rushmore would be comprised of (in no particular order):

• Darth Vader
• Luke Skywalker
• Yoda
• Han Solo

 

By far the best way to end the messed-up Sequel Trilogy - kill Rey and Kylo at the same time!

 

I would agree with this but replace Han with Obi-Wan, either Ewan version or Alec version. To me at least Obi-Wan was more influential throughout the franchise's storyline. Han helped Luke destroy the first Death Star, but Obi-Wan also had a hand in this plus influenced Anakin's turn to the Dark Side, was the cause of Anakin/Vader being forced into his Cyborg armour, began Luke's training and sacrificed himself to save the rest of the gang. Han saved Luke a second time but after that really didn't do that much to be honest aside from shooting Stormtroopers, and walking/running through point-blank-range blaster fire.

 

Those are some good points. I must admit that Obi-Wan does indeed have a greater role in the story. I gave Han the nod due to popularity and his (i.e. Harrison Ford's) role in making Star Wars a success in the first place. However, Obi-Wan is a fine substitute.

 

• Admiral Holdo- for developing the Holdo Maneuver and sacrificing herself for the survival of the Resistance
• Rose Tico- valiantly stayed behind while the main cast went off on adventures to study specifications of the resurrected Palpatine's Imperial Star Destroyer fleet
• Jar Jar Binks- mastermind of the Sith rise to power by secretly orchestrating events behind the scenes of all three trilogies and ultimately responsible to giving Palpatine the powers required to take down the Jedi
• Gonk Droid- because GONK

<-- also did anyone know we had a low-key Princess Leia forum smiley?

 

An interesting take, but it does mean that the single most iconic character (Vader) is left off the list.
