Erestor Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Jannah The sequel trilogy introduced some characters without a proper backstory or introduction, yet all of sudden they seemed like main protagonists at the time they were on screen. If it was Game of Thrones, I would understand it because we were used to getting to know like every new character in each episode, but while it might have worked for TV series, it certainly didn't work for a movie. I am pretty sure that some viewers didn't even get to know major characters like Finn or Poe, and then we meet someone like Jannah, who all of sudden leads a tribe of warriors from an oceanic moon during the final battle of the movie??? She does have some backstory (she was former First Order stormtrooper, who deserted like Finn), but that's it really. She was an ally for the Resistance and had an energy bow. I have a thing for bows but she ain't Katniss Everdeen or Legolas Greenleaf, so I am sorry girl, but your time is up now. Save Kuiil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven_ Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 CYCLE 2 NOMINATION ORDER Here is how this cycle will work: - Each ranker will nominate 18 characters for elimination. - The other three rankers will cut three characters and save three characters. - No characters have immunity and characters can now be nominated in back-to-back rounds. Derek is the first to nominate, and he's followed by Megan and then Alex and then Patryk. By the end of this cycle, 36 characters will be eliminated and 110 characters will remain. If you have any questions, then let me know. @Alex95 @FrogLenzen @totes4totes @Erestor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex95 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Savage Opress I am really torturing myself by doing writeups on three people I don't know. But I'd rather do them now then have to do them in the top 20! Luckily, Savage Opress does have a page on starwars.com since he was on Clone Wars. You may be wondering why he's a Darth Maul lookalike? Well, he's Darth Maul's brother! Can we pretend that the Darth Maul who popped up in Solo is a secret twin brother or something? Cause that shit was so dumb. Anyways, he was Dooku's assassin and apprentice, but he was more loyal to Talzin. Ohhh so Darth Maul is alive in this series as well. So I guess we really can't retcon that stupid decision. Opress was supposed to find Maul, who was in hiding after his apparent death. He succeeds and the two are together for a bit, but Opress is eventually killed by Palpatine lolpwned.

Alex95 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Cere Junda Cere Junda is a character from the Fallen Order videogame. She's played by Queen Debra Wilson of MAD TV fame. There's a reddit thread about how she's a cool and compelling character. The fact that there's a black woman that Star Wars reddit kinda likes blows my mind and means there's something there. Cere Junda survived Order 66, but was tortured by the empire during that time. She managed to escape the empire, but her friend Trilla Suduri who was tortured with her ends up turning to the dark side. After escaping the empire, she goes on to live in hiding. Cal Kestis does meet her and she becomes kind of a mentor to him. But she has futher goals and motivations as she wants to rebuild the Jedi. Sorry to Cere for this cut, but shoutout again to Debra Wilson! Save Frog Lady lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex95 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Greez Dritus All three of my cuts had entries on starwars.com despite not being from the main movies. Is this my lucky day?! Greez is the captain of Stinger Mantis and worked for my previous cut, Cere Junda. He's not very popular in the galaxy as he's a giant curmudgeon, but Junda does hold him in high regard so that's something! He did have some ups and downs with his crew and some drama, but at the end he was considered family. He probably should've been cut before Junda he seems like a lot less interesting than her. But I mean, it's just one placement lol. As a fan of curmudgeons I would probably like this guy, but overall he doesn't seem like a big character and was just in some video game.

totes4totes Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 DJ DJ is short for "Don't Join" which is his motto. Because he is ambivalent and thinks that there's no good and evil in the war between the Resistance and the First Order. Okay, maybe if this were Battlestar Galactica, but this is Star Wars and the First Order is clearly a fascist evil government. Anyway, he is a "slicer" which is just the Star Wars way of saying Hacker. Anyway, DJ helps Rose and Finn infiltrate the First Order ship and then cuts a deal to save his own life when they are caught. As far as I can tell nothing happened to him after. He's got a weak moral backbone. I think Rian Johnson's original idea of having the character actually be Lando is more interesting but while he says that he believes Lando has a firmer moral backbone than DJ ended up having, I think it's probably because Disney reigned him in on that because it would upset too many dumb fanboys. (Maybe Rian just thinks Lando learned after Episode V though). Saving: Rose Tico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totes4totes Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Owen Lars Luke's adopted father! We all know Owen. He's a moisture farmer! This picture is YOUNG Owen from Obi-Wan because they can't stop giving characters deep backstories. WHO CARES ABOUT THE BACKSTORY OF LUKE'S MOISTURE FARMER UNCLE. Isn't it just cooler if that's what he is. A moisture farmer. If Luke is Jesus than Owen is Joseph and NOBODY cares about Joseph. He is a carpenter. That's what he does. Owen is a moisture farmer. He kept Luke safe until Luke could become the hero. The analogy is imperfect because Star Wars does not map 1:1 with Christianity though I am sure somebody out there has tried.

totes4totes Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Jessika "Testor" Pava The Star Wars f/f fandom is so thirsty for Rey but so bereft of literally other female characters, that Jess is a bit of a figure in the fanfiction scene. I don't read Star Wars fanfiction though so that's all I can say (well...I don't read sequel trilogy fanfiction LOL, too much ReyLo). It's also because Jessika Pava is portrayed by Jessica Henwick who is 1) super hot and 2) her character had a name and survived the first movie. Anyway, she's a pilot for the Resistance and like all minor characters she ends up getting fleshed out more in media outside the movies. In her case, the Poe Dameron comics where she actually appears in almost every issue. But unfortunately, she has just a bit role in the movies. I actually think she only appears in The Force Awakens (yes I just looked) which I do believe she survives but she makes no further appearances. A bit of a shame. Could have had more pilots. Give me a Star Wars pilot tv show. But only make it like 30 minutes. Saving: Bastila Shan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erestor Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Baylan Skoll We meet Baylan Skoll in 'Ahsoka', as a Force-sensitive male nercenary lord who knows how to use a lightsaber. That's because he used to be a Jedi Knight (or even Jedi General) for the Republic. But he survived Order 66 and turned to the dark side. Interesting that he is not being aligned with Siths, even though he does have a red lightabser colour. Baylan was a master for Shin Hati, and an ally of Morgan Elsbeth and Grand Admiral Trawn. He battled Ahsoka on the planet Seatos during which Ahsoka was defeated and Sabine Wren was taken as a prisoner. After Thrawn's escape, he parted ways with Shin, and it remains to be seen what role will he play in the future. The new Disney series introduced too many Jedi surviors and Siths look-alikes, and I suppose they needed some antagonists in 'Ahsoka', so that's why he was created, and will be probably be killed off like Morgan.

Erestor Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Huyang Since Huyang and IG-11 were both left, I decided to cut one and save the other one, and unfortunately for Huyang, IG-11 is cooler. Huyang, or rather Professor Huyang, is an ancient droid whose databanks remain a repository of ancient Jedi lore. He taught Jedi younglings, including Grand Master Yoda and Jedi Master Mace Windu, how to construct their lightsabers. He has records of each lightsaber that has been constructed under his supervision. Smart droid! I guess one of his main contributions to the SW universe was convincing Sabine to take her lightsaber and continue with her Jedi path. He also gave Ezra Bridger a component to complete his new lightsaber. Definitely a helpful droid but does not stand out much in comparison to the other droids left in the game.

Erestor Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Reva Sevander / Third Sister Reva was one of the Inquisitors, hunting down Jedi survivors of Order 66. She was also a Grand Inquisitor for a short time. We meet her in the Obi-Wan series, and again, she is one of the main antagonists of the series who has a red lightsaber. She was once a Jedi who lived at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant as and was trained by Master Yoda. After Order 66, she escaped the Jedi Temple and turned to the dark side. As she watched Vader killing other younglings, she planned a revenge on him, so she joined the Inquisitors, in order to get close to him. She did make an attempt on Vader's life, but without sucesss. She then traveled to Tatooine to kill Luke Skywalker, however realized she would become another Anakin and followed Obi-Wan's advise to let go of her past. Reva had a potential to be an interesting character, but once again, it was hard to get attached during the few episodes in which she made an appearance.
