    I think that Plo Koon (that orange-faced Jedi master who sits and does nothing) is a most underated character. He is even in Episode II during the big battle sequence. Look for him.

    P.S. please submit something

    Over-rated: Luke, the series really wouldn't sell if it wasn;t for Han.

    Underated: All of the Star Wars bad guys. Seriously no one gives credit to the fact Star Wars has the best bad guys. Vader without a doubt is the best villian in film history. At least thats how I feel.

    Storm Troopers from the original movies. They were supposed to be elite soldiers, and they were beaten up by teddy bears?!

    "You see the Storm Troopers were forced to fight where as the Rebels faught for a cause they believed in."

    No trained solider, no matter how little he cares for his cause, could be as bad as the storm troopers were.

    Over - Obiwan in the original ones. I really wasn't a big fan of him. Not the acting, just his part in general.

    Under - Yoda and Han. In the original series that is. Now that Yoda has fought everyone loves him. In the original series I thought he was one of the best characters. And Han carried the movies. Or, Harrison Ford did.

    Correction

    No UNTRAINED solider, no matter how little he cares for his cause, could be as bad as the storm troopers were.

    I could do better than them

    hmm... I think Jango didn't get enough time in the movie, but he wasn't underrated. I mean, he killed a few jedi and lasted more than a minute against windu. It takes balls to go up against him!

    The most underrated character in the original was Grand Moff Tarkin. He was more evil than palpatine in more ways than one. And how about that stormtrooper who bangs his head on the blast door? He deserves some credit.

    The most overrated is almost any of the jedi. Their lightsabre techniques are too focused on looking kickass that I could take out almost any of them. It's hard to enjoy stupid flourishes when you know as much about swords etc. that I do.

    Ben, if you did not know by now I am somewhat of a swordsman myself. And yes evey movie I can think of that pictures sword use (except fencing maybe) are quite false in the way they picture it. However, we are dealing with lightsabers, fictional devices that look incredibly cool whilst being twirled around.

    Is it just me or do the jedi appear to show their back a LOT to the enemy in a fight?

    Luke is not overrated, I had a crush on him for weeks, or was it more...he was soooo cute.
    Darth Maul on the other hand...totally plastic.

    The storm troopers were seriously overrated.

    They took the place of the Keystone Cops and it would seem could do no right. How could any empire fight with such troops? Much less win. To be the size that the films suggests the empire is either there are a lot of whoosies out there begging to be taking over or the film failed to build a serious creditablity for the basic bad guy.

    Remember that Jedi Knight in the big battle with the green skin and tendrils for hair?

    KIT FISTER!

    "What can I do for you today, Master Fister?"


    hoohooheeheehahahahahaha...now THAT'S underrated!
