I voted Emperor. I mean he took over a GALAXY, made the DEATH STAR, had the robot army, took over the clone army, killed most of the Jedi. Complete and wonderful badass. Didn't he nearly neuter Vader as well? And some day, Palpatine will tell the entire world what a whiney b**** he was over padda mommy or panda bear or whatever her name was. |

Boba Fett rules, I mean he's the only guy apart from Palpatine and Tarkin in the whole origional tilogy who spoke back to Vader and didn't get made to "see the error of his ways"

"No disitgrations!" "As you wish." I have a feeling Boba worked with Vader before  |

I say "Vader", but I mean in 'A New Hope'. There was no one nearly as iconic or badass as him. Once we found out that he wasn't the Big Baddie, though, it was kind of all downhill.

If you guys ever get a chance, there's a great book out: www.amazon.com/gp/product/0345477324/sr=1-1/qid=1153684954/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-8791966-3079916?ie=UTF8&s=booksIt goes into detail about Vader's rise as a dark badass in the Star Wars universe right after Episode III. The only thing that does kind of ruin it for me was (spoiler) it showed how unsure Vader was of himself in the beginning. He second guesses himself and has little to no control of the new suit. I guess to me I always had it in my head that he was always a tough mother******. Like Samuel L. Jackson. Only he's a cyborg. |

Fett is just as if not more badass than Vader  This comic is about events before Empire Strikes Back (maybe even before A New Hope) so the fact he survived speaks volumes |

I'm partial to General Grievous. After seeing him handle five Jedi at once in Clone Wars, it sealed the deal for me. Too bad for him, he got wussified in Episode 3. Pity...
Darth Malak is a close second for me, his deeds were very evil, and his power on the Star Forge was nearly that of Darth Revan's.

Grievous was phenomenal in Clone Wars, but got completely jobbed in ep 3. Unfortunately most people judge him on the movie. |

I gave Dooku my vote ... he dealt with Obiwan and skywalker on his own, before the meddling green midget got involved. lol.
Plus it's Christoper Lee!! ... He is pure evil in the bad guy roles.

I should've said Thrawn... I mean, c'mon... study a culture art for the ways to defeat it... truly a mastermind, but I chose Palpy, another great mastermind who I wish to become...

Vader's the clear choice...but I picked him before I saw the "expanded universe" option.
While Vader's still probably the best, I've gotta give credit to Grand Admiral Thrawn, from Timothy Zahn's trilogy (which was really the first thing done in the "expanded universe", and still widely considered the best, to this date). That's just a great character.

I'd also like to show some respect for all those poor independent contractors who got destroyed when the second Death Star blew up.
I know how reluctant people are here to use Wikipedia, but if you go there and punch in Boba Fett and/or General Grievous, you get some pretty interesting information on their origins.

I never understood the Boba love, sure he looks cool, but all he did was get hit in the back by Han and then eaten by the pit. That's pretty much it.
You gotta take into consideration I know nuttin' beyond the flicks.
Even with expanded whatisit, I feel confident in saying Han > everybody else though.

the grievster (ie general grievous) loved his lolloping movement, and of course, being able to swing four lightsabres around he's also one of my favourites in lego star wars ..... how could you NOT love his wee cheeky face in it!!   |

Basically, Boba Fett survived by blasting his way out of the Sarlacc Pit. He continued to work as a bounty hunter while at the same time holding a rivalry with Solo. He was rescued and nursed back to health by Dengar. Without his help he would've died. The fact is, in the movies Boba Fett never once does anything to deserve his reputation as a badass. In II he's a little kid. In IV he walks across the screen for 2 seconds(ooh scary!). In V he does track Han and the Falcon, but let's Vader do all the dirty work. In VI he gets accidentaly knocked in the Sarlaac pit by a blind man. |
