Then there was 5...



And in the spirit of our current unit, dealing with forces, I give you the top 5 within whom the Force was the strongest...


  1. Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader - Without Vader, there is no story.  Without the story, I'd need something else to obsess about.
  2. Yoda - When you hear "Force," you think Yoda.  It's as simple as that.
  3. Emperer Palpatine - Much like Yoda, he may not have flaunted it on a regular basis, but that guy knew how to bring the noise (and the lightning!)
  4. Obi-Wan Kenobi - Obi-Wan may have been the only character to get a positive make-over from Ep's 1-3.  And along with Anakin/Vader, he plays a role in every film.  He also shows time and again that he's smarter than Anakin/Vader.  (Trivia fact:  Ewan MacGregor is the nephew of Denis Lawson, who plays "Wedge" in Eps 4-6.)
  5. Luke Skywalker - Luke's actually quite horrible.  Bad acting, and a perfect 0-2 against anyone with even an iota of Force in their veins.  But the galaxy needs someone to be the right guy in the right place at the right time, and it's Luke.  Cleverly disguised, he's the Jar Jar Binks of the Original Trilogy.

  1. Of course, if we're looking at this strictly from a midi-chlorian count perspective, I must disagree with you after the first half.
