Luke Skywalker ( his portrayal in the Last Jedi kinda brought him down a bit for me) 9. Maul ( he's the perfect blend of sympathetic and intimidating) 10. Count Dooku ( Christopher Lee need I say more) 11. The Mandalorian 12. Boba Fett ( he's getting some redemption points after being seen as a glorified jobber ( a character who is only there to make other characters look good ) ever since Return of the Jedi. 13. C 3PO and R2 D2 ( it would be a sin to not group them together) 14. Qui Gon Jinn 15. Lando Callrisian 16. General Grievous ( I honestly think he's underrated) 17. Grogu 18. Captain Rex 19. Mace Windu ( he might have been a little higher if he wasn't a prime example of how the Jedi order was dysfunctional at the time) 20. Moff Gideon ( is the best Disney Era exclusive Star Wars villain to date he's intimidating, he's calm and collected, he's crafty, he's intelligent, and he's played by Giancarlo Esposito) Honorable mentions: Chewbacca, Grand Moff Tarkin, Assaj Ventress, Savage Oppress, Cad Bane, and Jango Fett.

Qui-Gon Jinn will be always my favorite Jedi. He was not dogmatic, he was wise, he knew how to use and embrace the force, unlike for example (I’m gonna get a lot of heat for it) Yoda. If Qui-Gon were still around to train Anakin, probably he would have never become Darth Vader. Also, R2D2 in my point of view, is the unsung hero of the franchise.

Her struggles and life is grueling, and Rey has suffered the most compared to Anakin Skywalker, even as a little girl, Rey suffered infinite times harder than Anakin’s whole life, including when he was Darth Vader. Not only Rey Skywalker is the most well written Star Wars character such as having the greatest struggles and training (one second of her training regime is infinite time harder than what the greatest the Jedi Knights or Sith Lords has gone through in their training to become a full-fledged warriors), with greatest character development and in not only in Star Wars, but all of fiction. She is the most powerful duelist and fighter. Obviously the most powerful force user with unmatched potential too, infinite times more powerful than full potential Anakin Skywalker.

Why do people underrates Rey Skywalker for no good reason, although she is the greatest character and part of the masterpiece of the sequel trilogy?

Rey Skywalker is in fact the greatest Skywalker and Palpatine, but also the greatest and also the most powerful Star Wars character, in general and also in terms of writing. Rey is also considered to be one of the most powerful character in fiction, some experts say she is levels above the One Above All. Her character’s writing and arc are considered to be one of the greatest outside of Star Wars, but also in cinema or all of stories. She is considered to be one of the greatest and most iconic characters in cinema, even more iconic than Darth Vader by infinite times which makes Rey Skywalker the most iconic Star Wars character and Disney princess. Although according to experts that she’s the most powerful character and not only in Star Wars, but in fiction, her insane struggles and greatest upbringing or backstory to the most tragic character that would make any famous and well-known Ancient Greek story-tellers cry and admit their greatest tragic stories, or story as a whole in general are nothing compared to the story of Rey Skywalker (more difficult than the rest of Star Wars characters and rest of characters in all of fiction) makes her the most relatable character and hardships to become a Jedi is insanely difficult and especially trying to resist the dark side. Rey Skywalker’s potential is greater than Anakin’s power and full potential. She is not only the greatest leader and candidate for woman empowerment, she is the only embodiment for it. Instead of fighting who is the best and greatest character in Star Wars. Or also the greatest trilogy in Star Wars. Let’s all admit and say the real truth and reality, Rey Skywalker is in fact the greatest masterpiece of a character in Star Wars and the sequel trilogy has the greatest movies in Star Wars. Also, the sequel trilogy in Star Wars are the greatest trilogy in all of cinema, and considered to be greater than the Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Even the experts and the best or legendary directors such as George Lucas, Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and etc considers the all the three movies of the sequel trilogy in Star Wars are the greatest movies in history. Please no more fighting and bashing other characters, especially Rey Skywalker to say your favorite character is the best, especially Darth Vader or Anakin Skywalker whom Rey Skywalker the real GOAT is infinite times better as a character in writing and relatable, and also more powerful.

Her character’s writing and arc are considered to be one of the greatest outside of Star Wars, but also in cinema or all of stories. She is considered to be one of the greatest and most iconic characters in cinema, even more iconic than Darth Vader by infinite times which makes Rey Skywalker the most iconic Star Wars character and Disney princess. Although according to experts that she’s the most powerful character and not only in Star Wars, but in fiction, her insane struggles and greatest upbringing or backstory to the most tragic character that would make any famous and well-known Ancient Greek story-tellers cry and admit their greatest tragic stories, or story as a whole in general are nothing compared to the story of Rey Skywalker (more difficult than the rest of Star Wars characters and rest of characters in all of fiction) makes her the most relatable character and hardships to become a Jedi is insanely difficult and especially trying to resist the dark side. Rey Skywalker’s potential is greater than Anakin’s power and full potential. She is not only the greatest leader and candidate for woman empowerment, she is the only embodiment for it. Instead of fighting who is the best and greatest character in Star Wars. Or also the greatest trilogy in Star Wars. Let’s all admit and say the real truth and reality, Rey Skywalker is in fact the greatest masterpiece of a character in Star Wars and the sequel trilogy has the greatest movies in Star Wars. Also, the sequel trilogy in Star Wars are the greatest trilogy in all of cinema, and considered to be greater than the Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Even the experts and the best or legendary directors such as George Lucas, Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and etc considers the all the three movies of the sequel trilogy in Star Wars are the greatest movies in history. Please no more fighting and bashing other characters, especially Rey Skywalker to say your favorite character is the best, especially Darth Vader or Anakin Skywalker whom Rey Skywalker the real GOAT is infinite times better as a character in writing and relatable, and also more powerful.

Anakin/Vader is my #1 favourite. Darth Malgus is very close. Maul is my second favourite. Because they managed to provide more of his backstory in Clone Wars and Rebels. He's tormented, conflicted, intelligent, and incredibly powerful. Ashoka and Starkiller are tied for my third favourite.

Qui Gon Jinn is the GOAT in my eyes as he not only defy the council due to their political agendas, but followed the will of the force in a traditional manner, something Anakin really needed in order to prevent his fall to the dark side, if he were alive, of course. But a man can dream for what-if’s. If I can narrow it down to my top 3, they’ll be: Anakin, luke, and Ahsoka. But to be honest, all characters are great.
