Stumbled on this. Rating the top 10 sequel characters. Spoiler alert: Rose, yes Rose is 9. Tells you everything about the disconnect between normal people and the media. And of course how shit the sequels are. Not that I will probably ever watch number 8.
Star Wars: The 10 Best Sequel Trilogy Characters
The Star Wars sequel trilogy may have been a mixed bag for fans but there's no denying the greatness of some of the characters from those movies.
Now compare that to the OT or even the PT. Well you can't because there simply is no comparison.
But for shits and giggles.
OT
Luke
Han
Vader
Bob
Obi
Yoda
Wedge
Lando
Akbar
Leia
(Honourable mentions of course are Chewbacca, Tarkin, Jabba and the droids).PT
Obi
Yoda
Maul
Mace
Dooku
Qui Gon
Anniken
Palpatine
F Fett
Padme
(But if you include CW then a stack of Jedi and clone troopers can be added). -
wedge is cool...but over chewie? hes on screen for about 12 sec
i never got the hate for rose and definately all the abuse the actress got. didnt feel she was a big enough character to worry about and we did get to see her zap finn...which i enjoyed because he was a much bigger character...but just ended up spending three movies sulking

I've always had a boner for Wedge. He saved Luke's life in ANH and played a vital role in destroying the 2nd Death Star.
Rose was just one of many really crap and criminally underdeveloped characters in the sequels. As for the abuse (which is of course disgusting and pathetic) you have to take that with a grain of salt. Social media and the mainstream media amplify these things much more these days but it's always occurred. George Lucas copped massive amounts of online abuse for the PT. They even wrote a song called "George Lucas raped my childhood". Websites were created when Daniel Craig was announced as Bond. They mocked his looks, his height and everything else. Same with Ben Affleck when announced as Batman. Imagine the online furore if Michael Keaton was cast as Batman today! Ultimately what the Rose actor faced was unfortunately just par for the course. At the end of the day she got a huge role and will probably be getting residuals until the end of time so who gives a shit what a bunch of basement dwellers on the internet think. It's always astounded me why these people are given oxygen.

No love for General Grievious ?
The sequel trilogies list of characters doesn’t compare in the slightest.

Shit knew I forgot someone. He's definitely there.
Even the Rogue One characters shit on the sequels. The 2 leads are rather meh but the rest are pretty damn good, even the Samurai dude I chose to hate before he stole my heart. The droid was awesome as was chief bad guy. Actually they killed off a heap of potential awesomeness in that film.

@rancid-schnitzel true, but i also really respect them actually doing it, trying to show there was actual loss/sacrifice and not trying to spin everything out for longer than needed

It was a good old fashioned suicide mission

Yeah, I just recall my son being a bit gutted. I reckon I would be too if I watched a film as a kid and every single one of the heroes got killed.

and from memory, that didn't leak before it was released, so those of us who went and saw it pretty early in the cinema had a genuine surprise, my movie cynic side was sitting there assuming theyd get out as "heros" always do....and then you start wondering..."but how?"...and then...oh

The final abomination. Lasted 10 minutes. What utter dross. The Emperor survives and has a massive armada hidden under water. Light speed skipping? Nah fuck that.

Yeah, they tried to “fix” the stuff from the second and fucked it royally, very much dislike what they did in tLJ but RoS real bad for lots of other reasons

anyone watched "Star Wars - Visions" ?
Small 15min episodes where different animators seem to get to do whatever they like, dont think anything is canon but the first one was very cool

First one is my favourite as you could see it being canon. SW is either Samurai or Western or both. Loved the animation style as well.
The one with the band was pants.
