Treya as low as she is is a fucking travesty. I know, lists. But to not acknowledge one of the most fleshed-out, well established and contributing to the quality and lore of the Star Wars expanded universe is stupid. She's below fucking watto for christs sake. It's a goddamn video game website that has shitty characters from shitty books and prequels above not only an amazing character in the star wars fiction AND the plethora of SW games, but an incredible character in general.
 
Despite his personal misgivings, Anakin led a distinguished life as a Jedi trainee. His true test of greatness came during the Yuuzhan Vong War. Anakin didn't have such a great start, as Chewbacca sacrificed his own life to save Anakin's in the opening conflict. This had the unfortunate side effect of turning Han against his younger son. With a mountain of guilt and plenty to prove, Anakin set about proving to his father that Chewie's sacrifice wasn't wasted. And prove it he did.

Look at the description I posted. I don't think they understand what makes an interesting character in the first place, so don't take it seriously.

The love for Treya is scary :lol

Found her whole storyline to be highly contrived and bloated for no reason. I was like "that's it?"

You can't find a reason why Obsidian would want a character with motivations that defy almost all Star Wars convention?
 
I wonder if there's any possibility at all that the top 3, in whatever order, won't be Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Anakin Skywalker/Vader.
 
Hm, my top 10:

10. Emperor Palpatine
9. Baron Soontir Fel
8. Gilad Pellaeon
7. Obi-wan Kenobi
6. Lando Calrissian
5. Wedge Antilles
4. HK-47
3. Lieutenant Kettch
2. Han Solo
1. Darth Vader

Conspicuously missing any ladies, but I really can't think of any awesome enough for the top 10.

Boohoo no one likes me, so I'm going to destroy the force. Hours of her talking in circles just to play people into helping her destroy the force which in itself sounds ridiculous. Didn't really find anything sympathetic about the character, she was annoying in the game, and it was a silly plot.
 
#1 Vader (I'd also accept Grand Admiral Thrawn)

Edit: ONE fucking person mentioned Thrawn. You are all idiots. No doubt about it.

You find free will silly? :P

Although, I do want to know if the reason you found her annoying was because she criticized you every step of the way. That's what most people I talk to complain about.

I found this description of Kreia quite humorous:

Kreia eventually betrays you and reveals herself as Darth Traya, the leader of a hidden Sith cult on Malacor V. There she tries to persuade you to... well, we're not really sure what she wants from you, but she's able to telekinetically fight with three lightsabers at a time, so that's pretty badass.

:lol Never change, IGN.

The fact that they even listed her as Darth Traya shows how retarded IGN is.

If you want to understand everything there is to know about Kreia - Obviously... spoilers:

Edit: And they listed her beneath Sion, who's such a non-character it's pathetic.

Wouldn't call him a non-character. But outside of basic game design purposes, both he and Nihilus serve only to illustrate Kreia's force of will.

100? Huh?

I couldn't name 20 really outstanding ones and I saw the trilogy bout 50 times..

'1. Jar Jar Binks' would be the greatest day on the internet.
Click to expand...

:lol

But do people really still care about that?
 
1. Jar Jar Binks
2. Anakin Skywalker (teen)
3. Anakin Skywalker (young kid)
4. Boss Nass
5. Lumpy


For those who not know who the last is, it is Chewie's beautiful son

Prequels ruined Vader. I hope he doesn't rank that high.

Honestly, they ruined Obi-Wan Kenobi worse. And I still expect him to be in Top10.
Characters they will probably include in Top 10, in no particular order: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Chewie, Palpatine. Another possible character is Boba Fett. Maybe Jar Jar for shits and giggles, who knows, this is IGN.

Doesn't change the fact that this is ridiculous, Top 100? Jesus Christ, I mean
68. Shaak Ti - Attack of the Clones
Who? What?
 
Did a crossword today because I was bored. One of the clues was: 'Star Wars Character Solo.' Went to the box and it had 4 spaces for it. Checked the answers, they had it as 'Hans'...
 
Kyle Katarn and Mara Jade will probably be the highest ranking EU characters on the list.

Don't agree with her view of the force, lot of people and writers kind of have their own so I found alot of what she said to be nonsense or didin't agree with it. She was an annoying travel companion as well, critiques everything, doesn't get along with almost no one, tries to brush off your potential love interests. As a villain she perhaps was not that bad but it was all so obvious from early on story wise.
 
I'm actually surprised there's 100 star wars characters even worth mentioning. Hell I'm surprised there's more than 20 worth mentioning.
