HA! Can you imagine if George Lucas had gone with one of his other picks for Han Solo? Can you even begin to imagine Burt Reynolds as Han Solo? EWW!

You know. Out of all the names that are listed to vote on. I didn't see Liam Neeson for playing Qui-Gon Jinn. Correct me if I'm wrong, but was he not one of the main characters in Episode I? So, where's his name?!?!? Liam Neeson did such an awesome job at portraying Qui-Gon Jinn. I think it was dumb for George Lucas to kill off Qui-Gon. But, obviously there was a story to be told or whatever and that's the way he chose to do it. But still, you gotta give Liam Neeson some props for the way he played Qui-Gon. I just thought it wierd that Liam wasn't on the list of actors.

No 2. Ewan McGregor. He was amazingly good. Yes, he had some really bad lines, "Another happy landing." *shudder* but he made all of them work as best as they possibly could. That shows true acting ability. He can't change the script, but he can work with it. He is a well deserved second place.
I agree, completely. But Carrie Fisher's #3. And Alec Guiness is #4.

He was only in one film. I think that sort of DQ's him.

So was Jake Lloyd... and he wasn't even in the film as long as Liam was. So why is his name up there? I don't really care though... I was just saying, I find it odd that he played such a strong role in that movie and he wasn't even mentioned...

I had to go with Yoda. He's so ass-backwards and cool. Now that I think about it, Ian Mcdiarmid would be second.

Harrison Ford. Is that even a question? There is just no other character like him in the new series.

He still stands as the only actor in the series who had funny lines (not goofy lines, but cynical and snide).

I think Hayden Christensen is retarded, i just dont like him as an actor, Harrison Ford will always be awesome, my favorite starwars would have to be a toss up between 5 & 6
