For me it would be the wise goblin man Yoda, an absolute classic jedi who spits truth and teaches the next generation about the force.
“Do or do not, there is no try” - Yoda, 1980
What about you, fellow jedi or sith, what character brings you closer to the force?
My man R2-D2. Took no shit from anyone, did what he thought was right, was around from the beginning, and survived practically everything. Plus was a loyal friend to Threepio even when he was acting like an idiot
When I was a teen I always wanted to get my hands on a machine that makes subtitles on tapes or however TF it was done in the 90s and make my own version where R2 is just absolutely foul mouthed and abusive the whole time.
Chewbacca. Because I am also large, hairy, and communicate in a series of grunts and growls
I am part of the Power Droid Posse.
Gonk-gonk
Hell yeah there’s more of us!
It was pretty much Obi-Wan until I saw Rogue One, Cassian Andor is just a great character, maybe because of the way Diego Luna portrays him. The way he analyses his environment and the way convoluted schemes around him play out is some of the best the franchise has to offer.

I agree
Ahsoka Tano.
She is driving everyone crazy but she cares so much, and empathize with her so much.
Man, the clone wars really fucked me up didn’t it…
I’m a simple man, so any ewok will do.
I always liked Qui-Gon.
A Jedi who was always true to his faith in the force and never fell into to the politics of the order.
In the card game, I was super familiar with this guy, but it was the only card in the game that I had no clue where it came from.
Later, I learnt that is part of a junked 1940’s Derwent jet engine. (Scott Manley)
I loved the SW card game as a kid, but everyone wanted to play Magic instead. I will admit, however, that the rules probably weren’t the greatest. You just played for that 1 game out of 20 where you actually managed to get the right cards out to blow up the Death Star or superlaser a planet, or had a Vader vs. Luke fight.
Also IG-88 had a whole backstory in the EU (now SW Legends) where there were FOUR of him
The Special Edition version of Sy Snootles.
“Jedi Rocks” rocks.
My namesake doesn’t last terribly long…
Cal Kestis, his story is awesome and also really interesting. I don’t think we’ve ever seen a twist to the dark side as good and gradual as his in videogame form. I personally can’t wait for the next game
Wedge Antilies.
“Yub Yub Comander.”
Finn (FN-2187)
He follows his heart so radically. I admire that.
R2D2. I firmly believe that the joke is true that he’s constantly swearing up a storm and knows basically everything but everybody who hears his stories just thinks he’s making shit up for laughs.
Have you read Darths and Droids? It’s a webcomic using the plot of the movies as if they are a RPG season.
R2D2 is a min maxer player who put all their stats into hacking and in intelligence. So strength 1 dexterity 1 charisma 1 etc.
