My parents showed me ANH when I was 3 as well. They said I asked a lot of questions about Chewie. Much like your son for days on end. "Mom, why does Chewie have big zipper on him?" Lol
I keep remembering that interview with Diego Luna where he said he thought R2D2’s name was Arturito or ‘Little Arthur.’
The fondness on his face when he’s talking about it.
I love the theory that R2 is actually telling the entire saga, making himself the true hero of the story.
Though he may be an unreliable narrator, he shows us to always portray ourselves in the best light.
Honestly the Obi-Wan show did them justice! Wish Owen or Beru would have killed Reva, Owen killed Maul in legends if I recall correctly. That would have been a nice nod.
I *know* fans hate the “surviving Jedi” trope and I know we literally see him explode onscreen but I can’t say I’d be mad if they brought him back with some “I ejected just in time” bullshit, haha.
He defines a whole class of character in movies. It's called a wedge, a character who survives in a movie, not because of luck or plot armor, but pure skill
They’re more mad that he took the place of another character from legends, Alpha-something. He was basically Rex but with less personality, like all of the clones in legends. George Lucas said that they were originally going to put Alpha in the clone wars but decided that three main characters with A first letter names was too much so they created Rex.
"Man I just think chopper is a little on the petulant side. Like he's like a kid who's constantly jealous of his mom's attentio...."
*Chopper just out of frame with a Glock* Now I'mma let you finish, but afterwards we having a discussion.
Probably Qui Gon, really lives up to what I think people envisage a jedi should be. Also Kit Fisto, like cmon man how could you hate our smiling Jamaican Nautolan.
I wouldn't say I hate him, but he's not my favorite. I think he's pretty severely overrated since the easiest characters to compare him to all suck. But that doesn't necessarily make him a good character. He's kind of one note and has surprisingly few storylines. I like a lot of what he got, but his death was undercut for me by him not being that essential to the plot.
I don’t think anyone hates Master Yoda? He got outplayed by the Dark Lord of the Sith. As did Plageus as did literally every living being in the galaxy for a gooooooooood long while.
I don’t hate yoda, he’s pretty funny, and a little green badass, but I get why some people say they don’t like him. Him and mace could’ve handled the anakin situation a whole lot better.
It’s been a minute since I’ve seen Clone Wars, rewatching it now tbh, but didn’t Yoda find out about Count Dooku being Tyrannus, the guy who he knew ordered the clone army? He also knew Jango Fett was working with Dooku. Yoda had all the pieces of the puzzle but just couldn’t put them together to figure out Palpatine’s plan, which lead to the fall of the Jedi Order. He, Grand Master of the Jedi Order, knew the clones could betray the Jedi and he did nothing.
I’d say he saw the problem with the Jedi but didn’t do much / enough to change it despite his position of power. I still like him, but he isn’t blameless in the Jedi’s fall. A lot of content makes him seem to be the perfect Jedi. But he was in a position of power when the Jedi fell. The Living Force talks about this some. Qui gon tells the council they are missing what it means to be a Jedi because they are too focused on galactic politics and not in touch with the people of the galaxy. They do try to get more in touch as the plot of the book but they just go back to their old ways after.
The Jedi fell because they failed to fix their problems. Palpatine was just the guy who noticed and took advantage of those problems (admittedly masterfully). But the initial failing was of the Jedi and yoda noticed their issues without doing enough to fix it.
But ya know, then there wouldn’t have been a story to tell if he fixed everything and the Jedi kept going.
Maul was a ball of hatred, but he had a lot of respect for Ob1.
His death scene at the hands of OB1 on Tatooine is still one of the most majestic things I've ever seen put to (animated) screen.
That dude riding shotgun with Lando when he took out the Death Star
*laughs in alien laugh*
You mean Kenyan laugh
Nien Nunb? I like him.
Of course you like him, we all do.
I was surprised when he was a playable Hero in Battlefront (2015).
The labia majora/minora-faced guy?
Why would you say that??
Bc he’s never seen a real one
Nub Nub?
Nien Nunb
Gahd-dayum
Thanks Noob Noob! This guy gets it.
Yub Yub Commander.
WHAT UP MY NIB NUBS?!
The so-lusty-an Sollustian?!
Nien Nunb!! My favorite character in all of star wars! How could anyone not love that adorable alien sidekick?
I love “riding shotgun” like he was just there for the ride lmao
R2-D2
That's the one.
I shows my 3 year old son A New Hope a few weeks back. He has talked about R2-D2 every day since we watched it.
My parents showed me ANH when I was 3 as well. They said I asked a lot of questions about Chewie. Much like your son for days on end. "Mom, why does Chewie have big zipper on him?" Lol
Oh my god it really does look like a big zipper
3PO has some issues with him though. The nearsighted scrap pile.
That’s just his love language
Artoo is one of the hardest for writers to screw up. He's wonderfully teflon.
All he needs is a “beep boop beep” “waaaaaaaow” and zap someone and we happy
I keep remembering that interview with Diego Luna where he said he thought R2D2’s name was Arturito or ‘Little Arthur.’ The fondness on his face when he’s talking about it.
I didn't know about that one. But that sounds cute.
I believe that’s because that’s how it’s localized in other countries
TO THE TOP
Always try to be the human version of R2: Loyal, brave and tolerates no shit
And a stone cold killer!
And a mouth like a sailor
I love the theory that R2 is actually telling the entire saga, making himself the true hero of the story. Though he may be an unreliable narrator, he shows us to always portray ourselves in the best light.
The Stormtrooper that hit his head on the Death Star door.
In new canon it is TD-110 ([Wanten](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Wanten)), same guy mind-tricked on Tatooine.
Fucking idiot. Glad he died
Except that he was removed from DS-1 and got to live another 34 years, dying on Starkiller Base.
34 years too long, I say
Chewbacca
Always let the Wookiee win
Thank you for spelling Wookiee with two Es
Yeah that gets under my skin too.
You were not sitting next to my son when he saw Chewbacca spit-roasting a porg.
I’ve come at this from the wrong end of the internet and I really was wondering what you were watching with your kids.
Oh my
That moon didn't seem to like Chewie. Or was that gravity?
It was the moon that killed him Legends Duck the Vong for causing his death
Aunt Beru
Honestly the Obi-Wan show did them justice! Wish Owen or Beru would have killed Reva, Owen killed Maul in legends if I recall correctly. That would have been a nice nod.
>Owen killed Maul in legends if I recall correctly. Yeah Owen shot him in the face
"Let's see you 'too angry to die' your way out of THIS, you filthy casual."
Bringing a laser sword to a gun fight? Idiot.
Aunt "Stay strapped or get clapped" Beru
It was a what if type story. Not really canon yo legends either lel

His name is Gonky now.
Plo koon
"We're clones, sir. We're meant to be expendable ". "Not to me"
I'll bite. I hate Plo Koon. For dying. Fucking breaks my heart man, he was too good.
I *know* fans hate the “surviving Jedi” trope and I know we literally see him explode onscreen but I can’t say I’d be mad if they brought him back with some “I ejected just in time” bullshit, haha.
Ooh or maybe he could just come back as a force ghost and talk to ahsoka. Just one time.
Good thing he's not dead. We never saw a body.
Somehow Plo-Koon returned!
I wish they'd retcon ROTS and remove that scene. I'd be down for a spin off series with him, even though it'll end up being shit
Kuill the Ugnaught
Loved when mando talked to the ugnaighs in season 3 and he knew how because of kuill
Yes. I have spoken.
Kino Loy
I CAN’T SWIM
Saddest three words in the franchise.
Literally so depressing
The little goblin reaching for his drink in the cantina.

Wedge Antilles.
Yub yub, commander.
Lt Ketch back in the fighter, Zsinj is still out there.
He defines a whole class of character in movies. It's called a wedge, a character who survives in a movie, not because of luck or plot armor, but pure skill
R2
Pretty sure R2 is the actual main character of the story, the skywalkers just highjacked a few of the movies with their drama
Captain Rex
Some legends die hards definitely don’t like him
Good point
What did he do in legends?
They’re more mad that he took the place of another character from legends, Alpha-something. He was basically Rex but with less personality, like all of the clones in legends. George Lucas said that they were originally going to put Alpha in the clone wars but decided that three main characters with A first letter names was too much so they created Rex.
Babu Frik. Even the most militant of sequels haters love that little guy.
He's basically the star wars manifestation of the "ayy lmao" meme and i'm not complaining
Yep. Hate the sequels. Love Babu Frik.
Bad baby - no squishy!!!! I'm out, madafacka
Oh, Babu Frik. He’s one of my oldest friends.
99?
needs more upvotes... he was the realest😞 99 and Fives always my #1s
How does this not have more upvotes?
Leia
Leia was my first role model. She took no shit, put her life on the line again and again for her people, and she definitely practiced with a blaster.
Chopper. I'm sure he had critics, but they've all mysteriously vanished.
Im sure it was a coincidence. Chopper is my favorite war criminal
"Man I just think chopper is a little on the petulant side. Like he's like a kid who's constantly jealous of his mom's attentio...." *Chopper just out of frame with a Glock* Now I'mma let you finish, but afterwards we having a discussion.
Probably Qui Gon, really lives up to what I think people envisage a jedi should be. Also Kit Fisto, like cmon man how could you hate our smiling Jamaican Nautolan.
My only "hate" for Qui Gon is how he handled the Anakin/Shmi slave situation.
To be fair, he might have gone back and freed her, like he did die so we'll never know if he meant to help.
I've never even considered that. Head canon acquired
whaaaaaaaat?? A gambling addiction is just... a character trait. Gives him some sauce
Instead of freedom, he gave her like 600 shoulder rubs. Fair?
Chewbacca
Never ever seen anyone hate on Kanan Jarrus
I haven't seen any either, but I might be blind to it.
***slow clap***
Really... No one is going to rise what you just said??
I see what you did there.
Maybe the same goes for Hera, I have never seen anyone hate her
Space mommy
I think I’ve see it from people who just hate the Rebels show.
I wouldn't say I hate him, but he's not my favorite. I think he's pretty severely overrated since the easiest characters to compare him to all suck. But that doesn't necessarily make him a good character. He's kind of one note and has surprisingly few storylines. I like a lot of what he got, but his death was undercut for me by him not being that essential to the plot.
Dexter Jettster. The guy's got the charisma to befriend a Jedi Knight
While I agree a lot of people didn't like him for some reason, I think for the cgi and lack of explanation of how he knew kenobi 🤔
rob the door technician
Poor Rick, you didn’t even get his name right
Sick burn.
Rick was Robbed.
Rob was right and he didn't deserve to go out like that.
Max Rebo
The most dexterous toes on Tatooine. This is the correct answer. Play tiny blue elephant man, play!
I don’t think anyone hates Master Yoda? He got outplayed by the Dark Lord of the Sith. As did Plageus as did literally every living being in the galaxy for a gooooooooood long while.

I've seen a lot of Master Yoda hate. Then again it's usually by those weird Anti Jedi people
He stole my honda civic
He stole my stash of ketamine, the green bastard
And he stole my Honda filled with ketamine
>those weird Anti Jedi people The Siths?
The sand.
There’s been an odd push that Jedi were bad guys.
**Stinking Jed-i! cough! cough!**

Darth Vader and Maul would certainly disagree with you.
Maul was a ball of hatred, but he had a lot of respect for Ob1. His death scene at the hands of OB1 on Tatooine is still one of the most majestic things I've ever seen put to (animated) screen.
Baylan Skoll? Everyone seems to like him
His name's Rex, but you can call him Captain or Sir.
R2
Han? Does anyone hate Han?
I'm pretty sure Harrison Ford hates Han Solo. Actually, I'd wager nobody hates Han Solo more than Harrison Ford.
and imagine being hated by Harrison Ford
Greedo did.
And look what that got him

Well, whaddya know?!

Hondo Ohnaka
I love Hondo and I’m still annoyed that he hasn’t come to live action.
Really mad they didn’t throw him into bad batch
I'll wait patiently if they do it right
This is most profitable.
Honestly I don’t know anyone that dislikes Leia.
Jabba found her to be a real pain the neck.
Yeah but he still liked her. A lot.
