Wait...
Kreia was Handmaiden's mom? :O!!!

Yup. Stuff like that was so subtle that it just got completely overlooked. Yet another reason why Obsidian >>>> Bioware.

MIND BLOWN. And I've beaten that game several times.

I'm actually surprised there's 100 star wars characters even worth mentioning. Hell I'm surprised there's more than 20 worth mentioning.

Exactly! Anything beyond 20 is just some nerds jacking off on all they know about the franchise.

These lists are including expanded universe characters... Outside the movie saga
In that case, throw Vergere into the top 10. Great character in Traitor, one of the few expanded universe books worthy of serious attention, and one of the only I've not just considered but been compelled to read twice. I wish Vergere's take on the Force were canon.

Kreia should have ranked much higher on IGN's absurd list. She has moral nuance, something not so common in the Star Wars franchise. Also, she made me play KOTOR2 all the way through and not regret it afterward. Big bonus points for that. KOTOR2 would have been extraordinary if not for the production issues. If any Star Wars game deserves a remake, that's the one.
 
Plo Koon and Kit Fisto! But it's odd they named the movies as references, since they were barely there. They are really Clone Wars characters.

So basically this is taking all the characters from Star Wars and listing them in order?

Not really. They are missing out on a lot of people.

The Star Wars universe is huge.

IGN lists their first appearance. The descriptions go into more detail.

Ah OK.

Still debating with myself if I should go to IGN just for this. But if I do, this means they already won.

Nailed it.
 
Needs more Maarek Stele.

As much as I like the female Exile being canon, I'm still disappointed that the canon playthrough doesn't have the Handmaiden join the ship's crew. That subtle reveal was so great.

Agreed - biggest mistake. But then again, you also miss out on finding your apprentice if you're male, so... either way - you lose...

I like it though - it forces you to replay the game for something more than just light side/dark side ending.

The canon would be tolerable if it weren't for the Disciple being such a ninny.
 
Also, Obsidian never actually revealed it, which is why it works so well. It's like what KoTOR would be if they didn't shove the twist in your face and just let you analyze the clues for yourself...
 
I like that one funny looking alien that sits in the background and doesn't say anything but will get action figures, websites and shitty fan fiction made about him/her/it.
 
Padme is too high :< She did fucking nothing throughout the prequel trilogy, how can he be named so high on the "GREATEST Star Wars characters" list? Influential? Sure. Great? Naaaah.
 
Rest of them are up.

Jacen at #17... fine, I'll take it. Somehow he ranked higher than Mara Jade, surprising.

Vader being #1 is a bit predictable... at least it wasn't Luke though!
 
Really think the prequels should prevent Vader from being 31. Also disappointed that more KotOR characters didn't make the list (No Exile? really?)

Love that Revan ranked higher than Palpatine though.

I could see a Top 100 Greatest "The Wire" Characters... but Star Wars?

I like the original trilogy and all, but :lol
Could you? I'm only on season 3, but I can't imagine top 100 list where you're not just listing every character in the show in a certain order.

With star wars, there are movies, novels, comic books, tv shows. There's a huge universe with a lot more than 100 characters.

I can't believe fucking Darth Malak was ranked higher than HK-47. He's dumber than a Saturday morning cartoon villain.

Just block out the prequel trilogy and it's okay.
