With the impending premiere of The Mandalorian, I’ll be able to pick my favorite Star Wars characters from film, animation, comics, and now live action TV.
Currently my top threes:
Film: Han Solo, Boba Fett, Jyn Erso
Animation: Kanan Jarrus, Captain Rex, Ahsoka Tano
Comics: Jaxxon, Doctor Aphra, Beilert Valance
Projected for TV: Mandalorian, IG-11, Cara Dume
To be fair, those are the ones who I have as action figures.
And I find it amusing that there is a bounty hunter in 3 of the 4 lists. There could have been, but I really didn’t like Cad Bane.
Valance actually pre-dated Boba Fett by a couple of months in 1978.
This was the only ongoing Star Wars material back in the day. I picked it up from the corner store. And it was probably the beginning of my obsession with bounty hunters in Star Wars.
And Jaxxon’s on the cover of this issue, too!
