My favorite Star Wars characters (Male Edition)

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today I’m gonna narrow down my favorite Star Wars male characters to my top four or five. I couldn’t put them into rankings so it’s not in any particular order! Be aware that I am VERY biased on my opinion for these men. Thank you for reading and enjoy! 

SPOILER WARNING!!!

Fatherless Behavior: Kylo Ren

Kylo Ren, also known as Ben Solo is one of my favorite characters for so many reasons. One of my favorite parts of his character is how I can take him seriously, yet also make fun of him. For example, I can laugh at him because he always looks like he’s gonna cry but when you think about it he DOES have a lot of reasons to cry. He also has amazing character development. He went from a very… very angry and depressed dude to someone who wants to atone for their actions. They could have done better on the dialogue though.

 Anakin Emowalker

Anakin Skywalker is the original chosen one turned youngling murderer. Yeah, you heard me. Despite his actions his character is just so intriguing to witness because of how different he is than other Jedi. I also agree with his opinion on attachments in the Jedi way. It’s understandable because you’re more likely to fall to the darkside because of this (proven by Anakin himself). I just don’t agree because of emotional reasonings in the next character.

 Hot Bucket Head Dad: Din Djarin

THE MANDALORIAN HIMSELF!!! I absolutely LOVE this character. He is so freaking cool in so many ways. Yes, he may not do cool little tricks with his mind but he doesn’t even need those anyways. That’s what’s so cool about him. I also love his character development in his show. He goes from a closed off man only living for the advancement of his creed and the way of the Mandalorians to a fatherly figure to a force-sensitive youngling named Grogu. His armor is also another reason why I love this character. Having something that shiny and that strong surround your body is so much cooler than the Jedi robes we are used to. Spoiler warning: HE HAS THE DARKSABER. How could you possibly get any cooler? Maybe learning how to wield it without burning your leg but we won’t talk about that. All I’m saying here is that this guy is one of the coolest people in the galaxy.

Fluffy Beast Man: Chewie

Finally, we have our fluffy but deadly friend Chewbacca. Even without understanding his language most of the time, we, as the watchers, can form an attachment to this character through Han Solo. I love Chewie because of just how cool he is! He’s super strong, yet his personality doesn’t show that around Han. When he gets shot in the arm, he whines like a child, and I think that that is just really adorable. It gives us a sense of depth in his character traits and personality that I can appreciate. (I feel like I should note that my step-dad can do the Chewie sounds spot on!)

Thank you all for reading this week! I hope you enjoyed! See you next week <3
