Ranking 14 'Star Wars' Characters From Worst To Best
Star Wars characters are one of the most hotly debated aspects of the franchise. There are plenty of great characters, but there's also a whole bunch of not-so-great characters. Each one of them is unique (or a little too similar to another unique character), and we have a lot of opinions about them. From those we've known all along to those we first met in The Force Awakens, take a look at some of the best Star Wars main characters, ranked.
14. Rey

Rey Palpatine (or Skywalker — agree to disagree) has been adored by some, but hated by many others. Rey has a complex and interesting role in the final trilogy, but she fluctuates between a very overpowered Mary Sue and someone who generally makes awful decisions.
13. Jar Jar Binks

Yes, I’m ranking Jar Jar Binks above Rey. Jar Jar was some awkward comedic relief that didn’t quite work out, but he’s a more interesting character than Rey in many ways, the first of which being the possibility that he’s a Sith lord sent to disrupt the Jedi order, and honestly the “Darth Jar Jar” theory makes a lot more sense than Jar Jar’s original role in the movies.
12. Poe Dameron

While Poe Dameron has a huge role in the movies and can be a fun character, he honestly is a little too reminiscent of Han Solo. He doesn’t have as much of a role as the latter, and his personality isn’t as well defined.
11. Yoda

Yoda had a great role in the originals, but he wasn’t quite as likeable in the earlier movies. His treatment of Anakin while on the Jedi Council wasn’t perceived favorably by fans, and it’s believed that if Yoda had taken him more seriously, he could have prevented the events that were to follow.
10. Finn
(Source: Wikipedia)
Finn had a lot of potential, but it started to get convoluted when it came to his love story with Rey and the fact that the writers really wanted to make him force sensitive, but didn’t want to actually put any of that in the movie. But he made an impression quickly as a former stormtrooper, and he’s one of the most interesting characters in the sequels.
9. Kylo Ren

Though spectacular acting from Adam Driver has (almost) made up for the faults of Kylo Ren’s character, we have to say he read more as a knock-off Anakin skywalker. However, this means he was very “emo” in mannerisms and honestly kind of funny at times. This makes him a very divisive character among fans and haters of the sequel trilogy
8. Padme Amidala
(Source: Wookiepedia)
Padme was featured a lot in the prequels. From the moment she met him, she developed a close bond with Anakin. They eventually fell in love and she got pregnant with twins, Luke and Leia. But while her role in the movies was strong and interesting, fans can’t help but find her a little flat as a character and also point out that the age gap between her and Anakin was a little concerning.
7. Chewbacca
(Source: Wookiepedia)
Even though we can’t ever understand what Chewbacca is saying, he’s a great supporting character. We would have rather seen Han Solo live instead, though. But at least we got to learn a little more about the weird side of Wookie culture through the Star Wars Holiday Special.
6. Luke Skywalker
(Source: Wikipedia)
Luke was a great character and a stereotypical hero. Fans loved everything about his determination to grow as a character, and he did just that by the end of the second movie. However, his role in the sequels was a bit confusing, as no one expected Luke to be so adamantly reclusive (no one expected him to try to kill a kid, either, but maybe that runs in the family).
5. Emperor Palpatine
(Source: Wikipedia)
While we’re not sure how Palpatine just reappeared still, he made a great villain. He took down the Jedi system from the inside and provided a great antagonist to contrast Anakin in the prequels. And while his appearance didn’t make a ton of sense in the sequel trilogy, his special effects and power were still creepy enough to add something good to the The Rise of Skywalker.
4. Leia Organa
(Source: Star Wars Fanpedia)
Princess Leia was beloved from her start in the original trilogy all the way through the sequels, even when she was being posthumously edited into the story after the death of Carrie Fischer. But while fans were still nostalgic about seeing her on screen again, she never served as big of a role in the sequels, likely due to what happened to Fischer.
3. Obi-Wan Kenobi
(Source: The Verge)
Obi-Wan Kenobi never swayed to the dark side, providing a great contrast between him and Anakin. Obi-Wan has huge roles in both the prequels and the start of the original trilogy, and he serves as a reliable teacher for Luke Skywalker after his years of hiding.
2. Han Solo
(Source: Wookiepedia)
Han Solo led to a whole character archetype of “good guys, but a little bad,” having a convoluted history while still remaining a hero throughout the series. And people aren’t perfect, so Solo’s layered character worked great — up until his death in the sequel trilogy.
1. Anakin Skywalker
(Source: Wookiepedia)
Throughout the saga, no character is quite as complex and fun to watch as Anakin Skywalker. His frustrations about the Jedi council and once-charming personality gradually dissolved into the character we all know as Darth Vader. Though the prequels weren’t always as appreciated as the original trilogy, Anakin’s journey to the dark side was by far the best thing they had to offer.
