In Fandom, we all ask who/what are favorites are:
- Favorite Show
- Favorite Movie
- Favorite Character
Each can further be quantified buy genre or specific show or movie, in the case of characters.
In the case of Star Trek, for example, my favorite characters are Spock, Data, and Odo in TOS, TNG, and DS9, respectively.
In Star Wars, my favorites are Han Solo, Boba Fett, Captain Rex, Kanan Jarrus, Jyn Erso, and The Mandalorian.
But if I had to chose an overall favorite in each?
Spock, obviously, for Star Trek.
In Star Wars, it’s trickier, for me, but if pressed on it, Boba Fett would be chosen over Han Solo.
That is, until now. 3 episodes in and The Mandalorian is fast becoming my overall favorite character. He’s what Boba Fett should have been, had the prequels never been made and his backstory changed from what had been written or speculated.
This comes from a comment/thread on a friend’s timeline on Facebook, where it was asked if Boba Fett was cool or just looked cool. I replied that some of the Expanded Universe stories with Fett were cool.
I still think Fett is cool, though. The Mandalorian is simply better.
