Welcome

Obi Wan Kenobi

Are you a fan of some of the great characters in the Star Wars movies? Do you find it difficult to pick a favorite? If you prefer handsome characters, there is always Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. If you want the pretty characters, how about Princess Leia or Queen Amidala? If you're like me and find the wise characters the most appealing, how about Yoda or Obi Wan Kenobi? If you want to be a villain, Darth Vader is the obvious choice. Then, there are the downright funny ones such as R2D2, C-3P0, Jar Jar Binks, Chewbacca and Jabba the Hut.

Everyone who loves the Star Wars movies will have their own top three list, and could argue their case until the end of time. After much deliberation I have come up with my own top three which I hope are included in yours too.

1. Yoda.

Yoda has to be one of the strangest looking characters, but looks can definitely be deceiving. Yoda may be small but he is a powerful Jedi Master and has attained mastery of the Force. His skills with the light sabre are legendary and he is one of the wisest of the Jedi. In this respect, the character of Yoda teaches us not to judge a book by its cover. For example, in The Empire Strikes back Luke Skywalker is sent to Yoda for training. He rashly judges Yoda by his appearance and his strange behavior. His view of Yoda is turned totally upside down when he discovers he is a Jedi Master. Yoga is in fact a great teacher and Luke progresses rapidly in his knowledge of the Force and how to use it with wisdom. Let Yoda have the last word on this: "Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is…."

2. Han Solo

I think that Han Solo is probably the favorite character os most women who watch Star Wars. He was definitely a very appealing character, especially as played by Harrison Ford. Han Solo is just an ordinary but courageous man. He doesn't have Jedi powers like Luke. Han starts out as a sarcastic mercenary but ends up as a hero fighting for the greater good. He becomes a much more compassionate person and as a consequence Princess Leia falls in love with him.

3. Princess Leia

I particularly like Princess Leia. She has many great qualities. Not only is she beautiful but she is very dedicated and compassionate. She has positive qualities that any young woman would do well to emulate. You may be surprised to know that, like her twin brother Luke, she learned some ways of using the Force. It's a fact that she gained great skill in the light sabre and became a skilled Jei Knight herself. Apart from her mental and physical attributes, Leia became very well known in the movies for her amazing costumes, especially the metal bikini which has to be every man's fantasy.

The Star Wars movies are so iconic, full of wonderful characters and a great story of good over evil. If you're a fan of Star Wars like me, why not visit my Star Wars Halloween costume site to see some of the fantastic costumes?
