Who is your favorite Force user?

Post by Qwerty 42 »

Few people will argue that one of, if not the, driving themes in Star Wars is the Force and its users. In all of Star Wars, who were your favorites? You can pick some from the Expanded Universe, if you choose, just try to list some from the movies for those who don't read all of the books.

For me, it would have to be Obi-Wan Kenobi and Lorana Jinzler (Outbound Flight, Survivors' Quest.) They epitomized they Jedi principles of service and self-sacrifice without throwing out emotions, despite their mistakes.

Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader. Best tragic character ever, and whom the entire series revolves. What more could you want?

Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Nice beard, nice accent, and he beat Anakin Skywalker. :D

Darth Vader, especially as described in Dark Lord, is pretty damned awesome.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

As Knife says, Anakin / Vader is the character of the saga, tragic and quite awesome in both his incarnations.

As for the EU, I've always been a fan of Revan, even those his (or her) story isn't complete yet.

More seriously, Luke. He beat Vader, he mastered himself. He did some stupid things, but he made up for it.

Luke, Vader and Obi Wan.

Luke because he did what Vader couldn't...though got frenched by his sister.

Vader because after falling for poon made up for the fact he was a better villain then hero.

Obi-Wan for being neither and honestly being the best hero of the batch.

From the EU Ganner. None Shall Pass! His last stand in the well of the World Brain was one of the highlights of the NJO IMHO.

From the movies, younger Obi-Wan. He owned Revenge Of The Sith. Cool suave and he kicked ass.

For EU, I gotta echo Ganner. That scene was one of the shining moments of the NJO.

As for my all-time favorite Force User? Obi-Wan, without a doubt. Esp. in RotS, he just kicks inordinate amounts of ass, and manages to convey an aura of "I'm but a humble servant" at the same time. It's sorta like the Kwai Chang Kaine effect: he's so humble, yet so badass!

Thirded on Ganner. I mean, when you're so badass that you become a god-like figure in alien mythology millenia down the line, that's badass.

Obi-wan is awesome too. Not every Jedi can fight the Chosen One and last long enough for him to make a mistake.

Kyle Katarn. Why? Because he uses freaking guns, and consequently is ridiculously effective, something most other Jedi seem incapable of doing unless they have no other choice.

EU? Revan or the Exile. I actually find the Exile far more compelling.

It was "None shall pass" Actually. But it was a very good scene. Better than Anakin Solo's death even.
