Best Star Wars Character
A long time ago -- technically the 1970s -- in a galaxy far, far away (OK, in California), an aspiring filmmaker named George Lucas created a dozen or so protagonists and antagonists for his sci-fi space opera. Nearly 50 years, countless films, TV shows, video games, novels, action figures, and comic books, and literally BILLIONS of dollars later, it is safe to say that his Star Wars creations changed the landscape of pop culture in ways no one -- not even wise Jedi masters -- could have predicted. And now, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to determine: who is the Best Star Wars Character ever? Is it Luke Skywalker? Princess Leia Organa? Han Solo? Darth Vader? Grogu? The Mandalorian? Chewbacca? R2-D2? Or someone else entirely?
Host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Kara Austin, Kate Racculia, and Michael Schwarz head to a galaxy far, far away and discuss the best Jedi, Sith, droids, and scoundrels that populate the Star Wars universe.
