Well, I can’t say I’ve ever thought about it before. Which is kinda weird considering how huge the movies were when I was a kid and how much I loved them. I always kinda thought of them as a set; I wouldn’t have thought about picking one, it’s the synergy that made it work.

I guess I gotta go with either Obi Wan or Han though, with Leia being a close third.

Obi Wan because he was the introduction to what Jedi are supposed to be, and anyone else that came after in the movies had to live up to that because Alec Guinness’ performance was so tight. He’s still what I think of when the word Jedi pops up. “These are not the droids you’re looking for”, with a bare minimum of movement and the confidence.

Han shot first. And that’s why he’s a candidate for favorite. He’s a guy that can read what’s going on and not hesitate to trust himself. He doesn’t pretend to be perfect, but he’s got swagger and style. Then he lives up to his own hype.

Leia is not because of the picks obvious reason young men loved seeing her on a leash. Ngl, that scene was… formative. But the reason the scene happened in the first place, story wise, that’s why she’s awesome. She chain chokes a giant alien at least three times her mass while barely clothed, and she got there on purpose. She’s no delicate flower of a princess, she’s a warrior princess, a She-ra or Xena.
