Who's your favorite minor Star Wars character?

Boba Fett's always been a perennial fave, though I also dig Bossk, that reptilian Wookie-hunting gent.

General Veers, the Commander of the Imperial Walkers on Hoth, was also pretty cool.

Grand Moff Tarkin is pretty awesome. I like his attitude. When one guy is like, "Should we ready your shuttle for evacuation?" Tarkin is like, "EVACUATE? IN OUR MOMENT OF TRIUMPH?!" Too bad he didn't evacuate because he died. For those of you who don't know who this guy is read:

"Grand Moff Tarkin was the Imperial governor of the Outland Regions, and the mastermind of the Death Star project." http://www.starwars.com/databank/cha...andmofftarkin/

Arguably the best pilot in the galaxy.

Agreed.

Grand Moff Tarkin is also an acceptable answer.

Wicket W. Warrick is wrong. Ewoks suck.

General Grevious was a superfluous character created entirely for one fight scene. He sucks, too.

Admiral Ackbar is also an appropriate pick.
