For me it would be the wise goblin man Yoda, an absolute classic jedi who spits truth and teaches the next generation about the force.
“Do or do not, there is no try” - Yoda, 1980
What about you, fellow jedi or sith, what character brings you closer to the force?
R2D2. I firmly believe that the joke is true that he’s constantly swearing up a storm and knows basically everything but everybody who hears his stories just thinks he’s making shit up for laughs.
Have you read Darths and Droids? It’s a webcomic using the plot of the movies as if they are a RPG season.
R2D2 is a min maxer player who put all their stats into hacking and in intelligence. So strength 1 dexterity 1 charisma 1 etc.
Darth Sidious is literally an evil god emperor. The fact that the power of love defeated him in Episode 6 was poor writing by Lucas.
The Care Bear Stare got him.
Lio Partagaz the ISB leader in Andor. He is an amazing example of the extreme competency of the empire, and why they should be feared. If the empire was full of the bumbling idiots depicted in most of the media, they wouldn’t be an empire.
This depends. Qi-Gon Jinn saying “concentrate on the moment, feel don’t think” oh my, and he does seem very dedicated and not so political.
But R2D2 gets it done. He is a great character every time he appears.
My man R2-D2. Took no shit from anyone, did what he thought was right, was around from the beginning, and survived practically everything. Plus was a loyal friend to Threepio even when he was acting like an idiot
When I was a teen I always wanted to get my hands on a machine that makes subtitles on tapes or however TF it was done in the 90s and make my own version where R2 is just absolutely foul mouthed and abusive the whole time.
Without R2 ANH would have gone very differently.

I agree
Obi-Wan Kenobi for me too. He’s wise, calm under pressure, and a skilled Jedi who is always there when you need him, whether as a mentor or a defender of peace and justice in the galaxy
as a mentor
ummmmm
Be careful when practicing with him tho. He has a tendency to delimb his opponents.
I always liked Qui-Gon.
A Jedi who was always true to his faith in the force and never fell into to the politics of the order.
Wedge Antilies.
“Yub Yub Comander.”
Revan. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic.
A lot of people like Kreia from KOTOR2 but Revan will always have my heart. My favorite SW character, though canon trilogy Thrawn probably ties.
I started reading some of the books again a couple years ago and every time Bane or Tenebrous think about Revan, I always smile a little inside. Greatest Sith Lord in my eyes.
Damn right, meatbag!
Barf. “I’m a mawg! Half man, half dog. I’m my own best friend.”
Chewbacca. Because I am also large, hairy, and communicate in a series of grunts and growls
I am part of the Power Droid Posse.
Gonk-gonk
Hell yeah there’s more of us!
It was pretty much Obi-Wan until I saw Rogue One, Cassian Andor is just a great character, maybe because of the way Diego Luna portrays him. The way he analyses his environment and the way convoluted schemes around him play out is some of the best the franchise has to offer.
It’s really nice to see a normal person resisting fascism instead of just magical space wizards.
