Corran Horn should be deemed retroactively an apocryphal character.

Why the hell does Fey'lya get an honorable mention!? Because he blew himself up? I hate that fucker. He has far more blood on his hands than any Imperial politician.

Anyway, here are mine:

5. Soontir Fel
4. Thrawn
3. Jaina Solo
2. Jilad Pallaeon
1. YVH-11A

I don't imagine many other people agree with me though. :wink:

Because Corran Horn is just Michael J. Stackpole with a lightsabre, an X-wing, and Force powers.

The mad-on is mainly directed at Miachel Stackpole.

I would have liked Pellaeon to have been on the list; he's certainly evolved and contributed greatly to the course that the EU has taken since the Thrawn trilogy.

Perhaps, but does that make him a fan favourite?

I liked Corran when he was being all 'Batman' in I, Jedi. Thrawn should be at the top, though.

Corran Horn shouldn't be there. But then, most fans vote for the guy who's "coolest" rather than the best.

Anakin Solo - I'm reading "Star By Star" inspite of knowing the bittersweet ending, and the guy is pretty cool.

Nom Anor - same as Anakin, he's a cool villian. But I hate the Yuzzhan Vong (I know that's not how you spell their name - see me care? No? Good!).

Mara Jade - Yes.

Thrawn - Not surprising. I liked him, but I don't obsess over him.

All in all fairly predictable. OT - is Aalya that blue Twi'lek chick who was glimpsed in AOTC? Where else has she appeared?

In my opinion, Jade should have been No. 1. I've always liked her the best.

Yep, and the person who plays her in real life is agood looking blonde as well...a bit petite but helluva a looker(made my last year Pittsburgh comicon fun to stare at for three days)

Actually you spelled Yuuzhan Vong correctly.

And as for Aalya Secura, yes she is the blue Twi'lek seen at the end of AOTC. She's appeared in the Clone Wars comics I think.

Yes, yes, we all know you hate Corran by now. Will you quit harping on it? It gets tiresome.
