41. Han Solo rocked
He added the grittiness that has been missing from Eps 1 & 2.

5. Which Obi-wan Kenobi?
The younger Obi-wan played by Liam Neeson or the older Obi-wan played by Alec Guinness?

12. Ewan McGregor played Obi-Wan in Eps I and II
Liam Neeson was Qui-Gon Jinn, his master.

7. Wedge Antilles!
The only non-main character to appear in all three movies! The best X-Wing pilot and commander the Alliance/New Republic ever had.

15. No, it isn't, there is no relation between the two.
Wedge was never a Captain, anyway.

30. *toink*
I remember one Y-Wing and two X-Wings surviving the attack on the Death Star, but I don't know who piloted the Y-Wing. General Jan Dodona's cousin? Dash Rendar? Buck Rodgers? :silly:

33. I'll take a stab
The Y-wing squadron commander from the raid on the Imperial moon base in book 1 or 2 of the X-wing series (don't remember the name).

I'll throw one out myself.

What did Wedge think was a contributing factor in Jek Porkins' death at Yavin?

34. That's easy
Porkins always had his compensator set on full, completely negating his sense of gravity.

43. I thought Wedge was going to be
In "Empire Strikes Back" when Yoda says "No, there is another (hope)" I bet it was Wedge. Oh well.

The Darth Vader of ESB is the greatest villain of modern cinema.

And he provides a great tool for Johnny Cochran to defend his defendants, because, he does not make sense.

29. Darth!
He made the entire series. Ask yourself, why did we sit through two lousy movies and will do so with the third? Because we want to know Darth's story. That says it all. We're watching sub-par sci-fi movies because we want to know Darth's story.

One of the greatest characters ever and maybe the very coolest.

39. I liked General Veers because he was a tough Armored Cavalry
commander; great stuff for this former tanker. I liked and pitied Captain Needa. He seemed like a fairly okay guy overall; just a schlub who joined the Imperial Navy for the career perks and because home was a one-stoplight hellhole (I don't know, I'm just making this up!) The simple, horrible resignation he displays when the Falcon disappears just makes me ache a little.
