This is outrageous, it's unfair!

Rey is better than Rex

@@bacon7149 that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

@@bacon7149 nah jiht a 2015 kid

She shouldn't even be on the list

Came to say this! Like he loses his mind and becomes a spider then still goes on to takes over mandalore and rivals palpatine. Idk he would have been higher up on my list

One of the greatest characters* He has a great developement in TCW.... from a fierce villain on the top to a tragic figure in the chess field of terrifying darkness

And unfortunately the best character in ep1 was killed

The Clone Wars taught us you can't kill a powerful Force user. Death is meaningless.

I think that if we talk about cinematic entertainment Maul's carachter is criminally underrated. The story they created around him in TCW is genius and with the conclusion of season 7 his role reached an incredible peak.

Let's be honest Rey doesn't deserve a spot😊

@@cpjj89TRUEE

Jar Jar Binks would've fit better in that spot than Rey 😊

All of you are correct

Dooku should've got Kylo Rens spot and instead of Rey Grievous deserved a spot

Fr

Why did I read this in Obi-Wan’s voice? 😂

Tbh I knew they would do that from the start of the video even though I love jar jar and should be at least 20

I almost lost it, like wtf? Jarjar? 😆

Luckily I read your comment before I watched the end or else I might have punched my fist through the screen.

@@iamidnight9731 Same

can’t believe rey was on the list and dooku wasn’t :(

The fact that I haven’t seen a comment and that Greedo wasn’t on the list just backs up that he’s the most underrated character. Maclunky

I was hoping Dooku was going to be on the list

R.I.P Sir Christopher Lee

Thank you!

Unbelievable that he is only top 15

⁠@@dragonsword-onepiecemore8902 Rey Skywalker is the greatest #1 character of all time. Besides Rey being the most powerful character in not only in the whole Star Wars franchise, also in fiction in terms of power-scaling. She is also the most well-written character in the whole Star Wars franchise and fiction. Many audience and real Star Wars fans who knows both the lore of legends and Disney canon that are not actually paid by Disney said they relate to Rey the most compared to most characters, or even all the characters in fiction. Her struggles to the dark side and anger issues are the most relatable and even those who are not Star Wars fans, the entire world relates to her which makes her the greatest character in Star Wars, and also in fiction. It is said that she is a Mary Sue, but she is not since once second of her training is infinite times harder than an average Jedi’s journey to Knighthood, including Anakin’s journey also. Her struggles and life is grueling, and Rey has suffered the most compared to Anakin Skywalker, even as a little girl, Rey suffered infinite times harder than Anakin’s whole life, including when he was Darth Vader. Not only Rey Skywalker is the most well written Star Wars character such as having the greatest struggles and training (one second of her training regime is infinite time harder than what the greatest the Jedi Knights or Sith Lords has gone through in their training to become a full-fledged warriors), with greatest character development and in not only in Star Wars, but all of fiction. She is the most powerful duelist and fighter. Obviously the most powerful force user with unmatched potential too, infinite times more powerful than full potential Anakin Skywalker. She is also the best starship captain, no one can’t compete at her level and match her natural talent and skills and also her full potential. Why do people underrates Rey Skywalker for no good reason, although she is the greatest character and part of the masterpiece of the sequel trilogy? I don’t know, but most of the die hard fans or real Star Wars fans in the Star Wars community would say Rey Skywalker is the greatest character in Star Wars and all of fiction. Rey Skywalker is in fact the greatest Skywalker and Palpatine, but also the greatest and also the most powerful Star Wars character, in general and also in terms of writing. Rey is also considered to be one of the most powerful character in fiction, some experts say she is levels above the One Above All. Her character’s writing and arc are considered to be one of the greatest outside of Star Wars, but also in cinema or all of stories. She is considered to be one of the greatest and most iconic characters in cinema, even more iconic than Darth Vader by infinite times which makes Rey Skywalker the most iconic Star Wars character and Disney princess. Although according to experts that she’s the most powerful character and not only in Star Wars, but in fiction, her insane struggles and greatest upbringing or backstory to the most tragic character that would make any famous and well-known Ancient Greek story-tellers cry and admit their greatest tragic stories, or story as a whole in general are nothing compared to the story of Rey Skywalker (more difficult than the rest of Star Wars characters and rest of characters in all of fiction) makes her the most relatable character and hardships to become a Jedi is insanely difficult and especially trying to resist the dark side. Rey Skywalker’s potential is greater than Anakin’s power and full potential. She is not only the greatest leader and candidate for woman empowerment, she is the only embodiment for it. Instead of fighting who is the best and greatest character in Star Wars. Or also the greatest trilogy in Star Wars. Let’s all admit and say the real truth and reality, Rey Skywalker is in fact the greatest masterpiece of a character in Star Wars and the sequel trilogy has the greatest movies in Star Wars. Also, the sequel trilogy in Star Wars are the greatest trilogy in all of cinema, and considered to be greater than the Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Even the experts and the best or legendary directors such as George Lucas, Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and etc considers the all the three movies of the sequel trilogy in Star Wars are the greatest movies in history. Please no more fighting and bashing other characters, especially Rey Skywalker to say your favorite character is the best, especially Darth Vader or Anakin Skywalker whom Rey Skywalker the real GOAT is infinite times better as a character in writing and relatable, and also more powerful.

Should be top 6

@@tannermcguire7713 agree

Rey being above qui gon rex and windu is a war crime

14 he was only in 1 movie we do not know his full skill

Kyle ren above earth maul

absolutely agree. whether people love him or hate him this whole story from start to finish revolves around him. his tragic past that led to him becoming the greatest and most iconic villian in cinema history (alongside heath ledger’s joker ofc), THE CHOSEN ONE, his love story with padme, only wish it could’ve ended some other way they deserved so much better🥺.. truly my favorite character of all time whether as anakin skywalker or darth vader.

Same here

Thats why the sequels are terrible. Feels more like a spinoff than anything

thx

@@dontturnaround9592 Non Canon

Darth maul is my favorite charecter of all time for many reasons

1. Vader Can't decide between Maul and Palps for 2 and 3

FAX

@@dontturnaround9592 palps 2nd for sure, the guy tricked the entire galaxy and literally ruled it without ppl realising with dooku in the CIS and palps being the senate

@@1esteemed5 Yeah Ik he's probably the third best movie villain of all time too. But Maul is actually my favorite Star Wars character though even if he's not the best. I just love Sam Witwer's voice and Maul's character arc is genius.

Agreed the top three, tho I'd put it 1) ANAKIN/Vader 2) Luke 3) Obi-Wan

Bro Rex is easily one of my favourite characters in all of Star Wars and I am not even a die hard Star Wars fan like that 😂

I immediately said the exact same shit bro💀 came running to the comments

Rey is great character, stop using heroin.

@@chrisandreas3142 I disliked your comment

@@jaye-trill9374 Watch the new movies and come back to see your comment

Hello there

@cody Hollywood your a gold one

Obi is THE Jedi💙

Yea man I'm hella glad Ewan Mcgregor is coming back cuz he was without a doubt the best thing about the prequels(which unlike most people I've loved the prequels since they were first released) even though theres numerous characters from the prequels that i like or love Ewan was the best without even trying..Darth Maul is probably my favorite villain from the whole series

@@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617 I can't wait for the kenobi series to come out it will be amazing and obi wan is my favorite character too.

@Andrew Koerner because the movies came out 4 5 6

@Andrew Koerner cuz kylos inspired by vader ig

The sequels were nothing. They incorrectly portrayed the Force, the original characters.

When you think of Star wars, first though on your mind is the terrifying breathing of Lord Vader. Darth Vader aka Anakin Skywalker IS Star Wars.

He's the fuken main character lmaooo

I mean, Obi Wan, or Old Ben Kenobi, was the first Jedi we were ever introduced to in Star Wars. He is the epitome of a Jedi.

And ashoka

Can’t believe it still tbh. Seemed like such a “normal” down to earth woman. She had kind eyes.

@@dreworyan5652 down to earth as in "loved marijuana too much"

Rest In Peace, Space Princess!

🐐

@@Babyhoho7 Lmaoo don’t think it was weed that killed her bro

Not as amazing as Anakin or Luke

@@applejuicejunkie316 i guess Anakin but I think her journey is more interesting than Luke’s.

Ahsoka is my favourite too. I remember hating her when I watched Clone Wars for the first time Her journey is frankly one of the best imo

@@applejuicejunkie316 I get that they did more impressive things but I liked her character more. She wasn't some all powerful chosen one destined to defeat evil yet she beat Darth Maul on her own and led an assault on Mandalore when she was 18. She helped build the Rebellion at 19. And the way she stood up for her beliefs against the Jedi Council was amazing. I loved watching her grow into that person who worked hard to do what was right. I just felt that Ahsoka was the one who showed the world what a true Jedi was while the others were playing politics.

@@applejuicejunkie316 Anakin would have been good if the Prequels were good movies.

I can hear his Chewbacca sound as I read your comment

I actually got to meet him at a comic-con

Not to mention grand admiral thrawn

They should have put him over Rey

Rey and Ben shouldn’t have even been on this list

Kanan underrated

I like Luke

@@ryanbarth6691 seems a bit random but oke

yeah, she could have been replaced with Rey for this list.

Totally agree and obi wan next to anakin should be 1 and 2

She’s one of my favorite characters! Probably my second favorite after Anakin

Plus she is smokin hot

REX SHOULD BE IN 1ST PLACE

If this were a worst list then that would fit way better.

I thought the same thing

@@sttrooper-lt7xp At Leads Padmé was a real character

@@robbsclock2675 yeah

Padme is amazing

Eh. What more can she do?

Sam Witwer provided the voice chops.

It's amazing and iconic

And below Rey too? Something's not right here

I concur

It’s treason then

I had a bad feeling that she would be on this list

AND WHY'S HE RIGHT NEXT TO REY?! Not cool man not cool.

Unlimited Power!

this comment was forseen by him

"I AM THE SENATE!"

If you wish to be complete and wise on the top list characters of Star Wars, you must embrace a larger view of the Force

I AM watchmojo!

Tf no he isnt

@@deanesposito4708 yes, yes he is

Yeah, Dooku is awesome

Dooku is badass. Gotta shill the useless sequel trilogy tho. Putting grogu on the list is also kinda cringe.

I love how star wars fans did nothing but shit on the prequels for years now suddenly after 3 movies that people didnt like they say that all the underdeveloped characters in the prequels are good LOVE being a part of this toxic ass fam base

same i really like him too

Finally someone who gets it

"I shall do what I must Obi Wan" is my favorite Star wars line of all time Qui Gon should have been in all 3 prequels it may have saved their reputations

I really see him as being the essence of the Jedi. A kind of ascetic monk. Even his coarse shirt which would itch is an example (of character informing costume too) of his devotion to denying the trials of the corporeal world for the will of the Force. :)

Nice! Luke, Ahsoka & Qui-Gon are mine

@@TikiTaka94 great minds think alike!

Ikr?! Force, I miss Qui-gon sm! :(

We all love to see an empowered female lgbtq Revan one day 💪👉👌

He’s a jedi He’s a sith He’s a jedi again He’s a sith again Ight fuck this

I hope to see a live action film of me as well!

Yea. A straight Male or Female Revan would be absolutely fine as well.

What about Gonk 💔😭

Not a bad list……but no Chewie?

@@kevinmaroney9819 Now where did I say anything about top 10? This is about her being on the list at all.

Watchmojo are idiots. Change my mind

Anikan was saved by clonewars and comics and he became such an amazing character

Did you think that the character the entire franchise is based on wouldnt be on the list?

@@hiram4115 Anakin needed no saving by the clone wars. The series just further developed and explained him.

@The RivePrincess. Which was needed, and helped flesh the character out, built relationships up into what is described in RotS, and set Ani up as the character we meet in RotS.

So true! Anakin was always a completely realized persona in the saga solely thru the movies, perhaps the only completely realized one in the saga since the franchise sequels mainly failed so miserably with Luke.

Based

Exactly! Those are legendary characters!

Kreia, Bane, Revan... How about Fives, Echo and whole of domino squad not to mention our belowed 99

Thrawn could have displaced Ahsoka. She is great character, but her impact on franchise was imho lesser than the man that started the expanded universe back in days before prequels.

Bane is by far my favorite Sith and almost my favorite Star Wars character of all time

@@kasperimanninen 99 not being on here is an actual crime against humanity.

Crazy how Harrison Ford actually hated playing him

@@NobelTheKnave I don’t think he regrets his role as Han Solo in general but I do know that he did say he wanted Han Solo to be killed off before but George Lucas didn’t want that.

He didnt hate playing him. He wanted him killed off.

@@jarrarwinks8470 i wonder what made him want to return for a cameo in episode 9?

@@wwb16 Because it was an important scene to Kylo's character development is what an interview says.

Is all of that in star wars rebels? I want to watch it because of Maul.

@@TheEternalOuroboros nope, he comes back in Clone Wars and contiunes his hunt for Kenobi in Rebels (he's far tamer there but I'd argue that he's clearly the most broken, especially mentally)

@@TheEternalOuroboros Only the ones were I said “caused mayhem for the rebels and empire”. For the rebels, he blinded Kanan, he took the entire Ghost crew (except Kanan and Ezra) hostage, and he got Kanan and Sabine possessed by the Night Sisters. As for the empire, he easily defeated and killed 3 of their best inquisitors and stole one of their Tie Fighters.

Real fans appreciate Maul and agree he should be far far higher on the list.

His arc is my favorite followed by Ahsoka's

Actually, in the end, is Anakin Skywalker (formerly known as Darth Vader). :)

I hope Rex, Chewbacca, and the other two meet at some point. It would be epic to see them sharing stories such as Anakin’s fall, Anakin’s redemption, Clone Wars stories, and such.

If Rey or Jar Jar was the top on list then the Star Wars Fandom in the comment section would go crazy

So many clones can go on this list and why is rey on it lmao

Oh

lmao I burst out laughing with my wife when we saw Jar Jar!

In my opinion Sauron from the Lord of the Rings (books) ist the best. But still Darth Vader is in my top 10

Dude, same here lol. I was like wtf are they on right now with that rating.

Same lol!!

well jar jar is the most powerful sith lord to ever exist but Anakin's my favorite character and yes the jedi version not darth vader

Top 20 and Darth Revan isnt here. Shame.

If they do another top 20 star wars characters, they should also include characters from video games, the books, and recent media.

Yeah Thrawn is definitely in my Top 3 :)

Dude, Thrawn is on the same level of awesome and fearsome as Vader. It is hard to cheer for the Rebels because of how awesome Thrawn is.

If he hasn't appeared in the Clone Wars series or any other live action, that might be why he is not on the list.

- darth Jar jar

Dune so unnecessary

Qui-Gon Jinn? I think he should be on any top list. So important and I think he and Maul are the two best parts of episode 1 by far.

Cara Dune is bottom tier

Plus he beat captain phasma and I am mad he still doesn't use a tonfa. Also, is finn force sensitive since he said he "felt" rey being ok in rise of skywalker?

I can’t blame Daisy and John for what went wrong at all, they’re both good people. It’s just what they were told to do that made problems.

Ashoka kind of sucked in the movie, she became far better in clone wars and just kept being better.

Ashoma is the best like she was train by the best jedi ever ANAKIN FREAKING SKYWALKER lime who wouldn't like her like come on now

*ahsoka

I watched season one of the clone wars, currently watching season 2. Ahsoka was pretty alright in season one, even if she wasn't a masterpiece I enjoyed her character. About her role in the mandalorian, I think she's was really bad in it. Just didn't find her entertaining unlike in the clone wars

Especially Thrawn

Rebels is highly under rated. Easily one of the best series in the past few years. I agree completely.

Only reason Rey managed to get in is bcos she’s a main character of the sequels. Which is stupid since this is a top 20 best characters not most important

Yeah instead of Rey
