Maybe Lucas just sucks at picking out main characters. Luke and Anakin (both of them, especially the first one, and especially the second one) both suck in all the movies (except James Earl Jones doesn't count, 'cause he's 'cool' Darth Vader then, and not Anakin)...but all of the secondary and even tertiary characters are awesome - Han Solo, Boba Fett, Princess Leia, Obi Wan Kenobi, Padmé (woot, accent symbols)...except all of the movies have a crappy secondary character as well:
C-3PO and Jar Jar Binks (but at least C-3PO wasn't <i>that</i> annoying).
Also, Yoda is voiced by the man who voices Miss Piggy.
...Solo shot first, and he's awesome for doing it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> .

Hand me my light saber. It's the one that says Bad Mother ######.
20 hrs of Mace Windu killing people with a purple lightsaber.....
I might pay to see that (or atleast parts...)
Ninja Edit: I will defend C-3PO You basicly have to take him and R2-D2 as a single set. Witho ut C-3PO you don't know that R2 is a foulmouther little bugger.
I don't know why everyone is obsessed with an obscure, minor character whose last name is the german word for lard and whose only accomplishment is flying head first to his spiky doom.

I thought everyone in the first film, Old Man Ben aside, did one hell of a terrible actings.
Everything else was gold. Well, except our first light saber battler between Darth Vader and Obi-wan, that one sucks, it doesn't stand the test of time.
And clearly, the new Star Wars movies need Mara Jade.

He didn't die, and no one cares about the german language.

I imagine its pretty hard to invent a name that doesn't mean something in any language.
Most of robot chickens stuff is awesome. And some is even star wars related <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />

If he <i>did</i> get his own show, that would be totally wrong. I mean come on, I'm sure it would be awesome, but awesomer than <i>Firefly</i>? Unlikely.
they shouldve made them in the right order instead of jumping around like that
also, more podracing and xwing vs tiefighter action (the empire strikes back is the best movie out of the lot but that hoth ground battle is just sooooooooooooo boring to watch)
I'm a huge Star Wars fan and I know this is probably blasphemy to my people, but I would love to see the original trilogy remade (with noname actors of course), if only so they could expand past that and start turning some of the EU stuff into movies/tv.

There should be a law requiring that shows about bounty hunters in space be made. At least one must be in production at all times, or the USA's entire nuclear arsenal is detonated. Inside the silos.

You could go back in time and urge Mark Hamill to take up acting lessons.
Failing that you can simply digitally remaster them and make bucket loads from fans with more money than sense.
Oh god... you've just flamed Tycho's religion. Be afraid, be very afraid..

I don't see how he's better than me just because he posted some YouTube video.
They're making a full-length Robot Chicken/Star Wars parody. George Lucas is even doing his own voice. It's going to be <i>awesome</i>.
