other: none.
I always found it a bit hard to relate to. Star Wars came out in 1977, when I was 10. A whole bunch of my chums loved it. They still do, apparently. I haven't figured out the source of that love. It's not that I don't appreciate the science fiction genre. I'm a big fan. Asimov, Orwell, Clarke, Jules Verne, Bradbury, etc. Big fan. Rarely do I find an episode of Star Trek (the original series or the next generation) that I haven't seen and enjoyed. But I cannot understand the Star Wars cult. I've been dragged to just about every movie by some friend or another, and I have yet to see one I really enjoy. I also enjoyed Dune (both the movie and the book), and I can even sit through Doctor Who (if there's nothing else to watch on TV), but I can't abide Star Wars.
(Sorry to dump on your thread, especially so early in the thread, but it's a rant that I've kept inside too long: Star Wars holds no appeal to me. Maybe I'm just too unsophisticated to enjoy it. Maybe it's just really bad writing. Maybe it's in some secret language that I don't understand. Either way, I haven't found any characters in any of the movies worth relating to.)
You just described my attitude towards Star Trek perfectly.
As for on topic: Qui Gon Jinn
His discovery of the Force Ghost and the secret to obtaining it, his no nonsense attitude when sh%t gets real, and his enduring compassion and preference for the actions in front rather than obsessing over "destiny".
