Your Favorite Obscure Star Wars Character?

FOURTH THE MAY BE WITH YOU. — Yoda.

Ahem.

So! Hey. Star Wars.

Of all the films, shows, books, and so forth, I gotta know —

Who is your favorite obscure Star Wars character?

(They don’t need to be all that “obscure” — just not one of the “main cast.” No Luke, Leia, etc.)

Me, from the original trilogy, I love me some Nien Nunb.

I don’t know why.

I like that the joy he expresses when they win.

I like his workman’s attitude. He seems like the kinda Sullustan you’d want on your side. Or at your barbecue. He just looks like a good dude. I mean, sure, his face is super gross? It’s like, a bunch of moist folds stacked on top of each other. He’s like several layers of animated mortadella bologna just flapping wetly at you, but hey, whatever. You can’t judge him on that.

If I had to go deeper —

The bounty hunter Sugi, from The Clone Wars.

It’s easy to love the bounty hunters, but she’s even easier because she seems noble, somehow — not just your standard mercenary scum, but Scum With Honor. She’s pretty obscure — I think she only shows up in two episodes? But I like that there’s more going on there than what you see. You get the sense of larger story, somehow.

So, your turn.

Fave third-tier, obscure character? GO.
