We have a feeling that this answer might change once Solo comes out later this month.
Since we all went a little bit Star Wars nuts this week, what with it being May The Fourth (be with you), and the release of The Last Jedi on DVD/Blu-Ray, and the upcoming release of Solo: A Star Wars Story, the folks at our movie review show The Big Reviewski were chatting about their favourite Star Wars characters.
You can here the bit itself from 06:40 to 10:30…
There is a bit of a disparity within the group, because while Eoghan and Paul are very much mega-Star Wars fans, Rory… not so much.
So he went first, and had the audacity to mention a character from the prequels. Admittedly, it was the best prequel, Revenge Of The Sith, and arguably the best character, General Grievous, with the four limbs and equal amount of light-sabres, but he also had robot-asthma…
Paul went next, and almost break the sound-barrier with his choice: Han Solo. “I just love the disdain Harrison Ford played that role with.” Hard to argue with that. Solo is unbelievably cool.
And finally, Eoghan went with the unsung hero of the franchise, by picking R2D2, because if it wasn’t for him, then everyone in the galaxy would be pretty much dead from the get-go. Plus he gets all of the best lines. Remember when he said “Beep”? Amazing.
However, elsewhere in the episode, the lads all agree that there is every chance that the return of Lando (Donald Glover) in the new Solo movie, with his collection of capes, will see him take the top spot going forward.
So tell us in the comments/replies, who do you reckon is the best character in the Star Wars universe, and we’ll read the best answers in the next episode of The Big Reviewski!
