Are you a fan of some of the great characters in the Star Wars movies? Do you find it difficult to pick a favorite? There are the handsome ones such as Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, the pretty ones such as Princess Leia and Queen Amidala, the wise ones such as Yoda and Obi Wan Kenobi and the evil ones such as Darth Vader. Then, there are the downright funny ones such as R2D2, C-3P0, Jar Jar Binks, Chewbacca and Jabba the Hut.
I’m sure most people who love Star Wars have their own favorite characters and may disagree with my favorites. Nevertheless, I’m going to tell you about my own three favorite characters. It wasn’t easy to pick from all my favorites.
1. Yoda.
Possibly the strangest character in Star Wars is Yoda. He doesn’t look much but looks can be very deceiving. Yoda may be small but he is a powerful Jedi Master and has attained mastery of the Force. His skills with the light sabre are legendary and he is one of the wisest of the Jedi. In this respect, the character of Yoda teaches us not to judge a book by its cover. For example, in The Empire Strikes back Luke Skywalker is sent to Yoda for training. He initially thinks that this strange character is quite comical, but to his shock discovers that Yoda is the Jedi Master he’d been sent to see. Yoda teaches Luke almost everything he knows about the Force and imparts many words of wisdom which sets him on his path of self-discovery. In fact, it is all neatly summed up when Yoda states “Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is….”
2. Han Solo.
I think that Han Solo is probably the favorite character os most women who watch Star Wars. He was definitely a very appealing character, especially as played by Harrison Ford. Unlike Luke Skywalker, Han doesn’t have any special powers, but what made this smuggler and mercenary so great is that we see him change from a sarcastic rebel to someone who realizes the importance of being part of a group and fighting for the greater good. As Han changes his outlook to become less selfish and more altruistic, he is able to win the affections of Princess Leia.
3. Princess Leia
I particularly like Princess Leia. She is not only beautiful, but feisty, forceful, strong-willed, humorous, compassionate and dedicated. These are all positive attributes that all young women should aspire to. You may be surprised to know that, like her twin brother Luke, she learned some ways of using the Force. In fact, she became very capable Jedi knight herself and was very skilled in the use of the light sabre? Probably, one of the most memorable things about Leia, especially for all the men in the world, is her metal bikini, also known as her slave costume.
