SW01 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I'd say it'd be a very close run thing between Dooku and Sidious. I liked both as master manipulators, more interesting than a straightforward 'stab-everything-with-glowy-red-stick' Sith character, and a good, fitting contrast in fighting styles - Dooku, as said, very calm and calculating, taunting his opponents, Sidious using surprise, aggression, and sheer skill (it seemed). Also, being played by Ian McDiarmid and Sir Christopher Lee help make them favourites of mine! Now, I would have liked to say Darth Vader (seeing he was, for so long, one of the best villains in cinema), but the PT ruined him a bit...

lockhead Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Okay, I gotta ask, because I'm fairly new at this. Why do people like people like the Sith and those who are unrepentantly evil? Someone like Mara Jade I'm willing to buy, she gets better, but someone like the Emperor enjoys the harm he causes others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKA-001 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Okay, I gotta ask, because I'm fairly new at this. Why do people like people like the Sith and those who are unrepentantly evil? Someone like Mara Jade I'm willing to buy, she gets better, but someone like the Emperor enjoys the harm he causes others. Most of the time when someone says they "like" a villain, they're talking about the actual quality of the character, that is, how well the villain is done. Factors in a villainous character's quality include how effective they are, how realistically/believably they're portrayed, their personalities, their motivations, how much of a threat they pose to the hero(es), and how much they contribute to the quality of the story overall. It's not about whether they are liked as persons; it's about whether they enhance the story and to what degree. Well-done villains are required in order for the conflict in a story such as Star Wars to be gripping and enjoyable. Besides, even clearly evil characters can (sometimes because of justifying factors, and in other cases in spite of lack of any such factors) be liked from an out-of-universe perspective, even if from an in-universe perspective they are mostly or entirely despicable; just look at how much the KotOR fanbase loves to slobber over HK-47 and Darth Revan.

lockhead Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Ah. Well for me my favourite type of evil or Sith character would be the fallen type ones, those who have a justified or at least explainable reason for falling to the dark side. Anakin, Revan and Malek, I'm not sure if Dooku would count. Even that though, for someone to be so corrupted by evil, for genuinely good people to allow themselves to be destroyed that much, is to me rather frightening. So I would have to choose Anakin. He serves as a symbol of how far obsession can make you fall, something which I believe is highlighted at times in the expanded universe. You look at how Vader suffers and you think, who would want to be him. For all his power and fame he is fallen and broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayce76 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I have too honestly said Darth Maul in the Prequel Trilogy. I loved darth Skywalker with the hood , but Maul is just one of the best visual looking Villian's ever . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vierna Drottingu Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 General Grievous for me... although he was weaker than the rest, i still liked his 4-saber style Next is Darth Maul... dual saber, need I say more? xD although, he died in a very stupid way (he could've easily sliced Obi Wan in half, when Obi jumped) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Caedus_Nihilus Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Maul is by far the coolest and i think he wud have been a lot better if they didnt kill him off so quickly. But anakin right b4 he turned into vader was super strong obi wan was just better at controlling his power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SciFiGeek17 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Darth Maul! Has the best skills in my opinion, plus he can use a staff weapon. Double-blades are hard to learn to use. *has some experiance with that* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seikan Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Who is your favorite sith from the prequel trilogy? Which part can't you understand?... "prequel trilogy" it means episode 1-2-3, so no kotor siths, no clone wars siths, etc... So no darth Revan/Nihilus And I'm going with Darth Maul, he's really cool, also love the "Darth Maul" comic, and the tattooed body, his double blade... He's definitely one of my favorite siths from all the star wars universe, he would have been even better after getting rid of Sidious, but he died...

Al_Ciao Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 They are ALL cool, just in different ways. Grievous used four blades! Even though he's not technically a Sith, he's still awesome. Note also, that he seems to be a prototype or test run for the arcane science that created Darth Vader. "Darth Skywalker" in the hood, marching on the Jedi Temple with the clone troopers, is just awesome. He finally becomes wicked cool, until he goes over the edge (literally and figuratively) at Mustafar. Darth Vader from the OT of course is mondo awesome too. The whole choking, breathing, James Earl Jones thing. Darth Maul has the cool look, the awesome double saber, and the whole mysterious "man of few words" thing. Dooku has STYLE. Precision, dignity, skill, power. Plus he's played by Christopher Lee! And Sidious is has consistently been my favorite darksider almost the whole time since I discovered Star Wars as a child 20 years ago. Someone said that his RotJ line, "And now, young Skywalker... you will die, is the coolest moment in the movies? Quoted for truth! :D So they're all cool! I really can't decide. What would be REALLY cool, and admittedly this is more a fanboyish thing than anything else, would be all these Sith teaming up together, in a lightsaber battle against a bunch of Jedi! Say, Sidious, Vader, Maul, Dooku, and Grievous VS Yoda, Mace Windu, Obi Wan, Qui Gon, and someone else like Ki Adi Mundi or Aayla Secura. How awesome would THAT be?
