Top Ten Most Pointless Star Wars Characters

The characters that Star Wars could have done without.

1. Jar Jar

   

   Jar Jar Binks is a fictional character from the Star Wars saga created by George Lucas. A major character in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, he also appears in a smaller role in Episode II: Attack of the Clones, makes a one-line cameo in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and features in the... read more

   Now I don't watch Star Wars, but HOLY COW, this character is one the UGLIEST things I've ever laid my eyes on. I mean look at him, he's hideous. His face makes me want to vomit every time I look at it. Plus, he's supposed to appeal to kids, but I don't really understand how children are going find this character funny when they can clearly how physically unappealing this character is. They'd rather run away crying in fear and disgust! Bleugh!

   No, let me explain. Without Jar jar, Qui Gon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi wouldn't have found the Gungan City which provided the submarine that transports them to Naboo, in which Padme rode the spaceship to Coruscant, while finding Anakin. If Jar jar wasn't alive they wouldn't have found Anakin. Without Anakin discovering his powers, there wouldn't have been any Darth Vader. So if Jar jar wasn't alive the Original Trilogy wouldn't have happened. Huh.

2. Boss Nass

   

   I agree he is annoying, but he did provide a ship for jar jar, qui gon, and Obi wan, as well as an army to fend off the battle droids, so he is kind of important to episode one.

3. Rose Tico

   

   They threw her in the movie because she's Asian but they forgot to give her a role. I would love a strong powerful female Asian Star Wars Character. But that's not what they have us. I love Diversity but the point of Diversity isn't just throwing a bunch of different ethnicities into a movie with no direction. We want goodly written diverse characters for representation. We're not just gonna like a character just because they are a certain race.

   This list was made too early. Rose is a totally pointless character, they added her for the heck of it, she's unneeded and does nothing worth mentioning. Her kiss with Finn had no buildup, and felt forced and very awkward as a result. Hope she dies soon

4. Boba Fett

   

   Boba Fett is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He is a bounty hunter who appears in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, working for Darth Vader and Jabba the Hutt. Boba Fett also stars in his own series, The Book of Boba Fett, which premiered in 2021.

   Let's get something straight I AM NOT VOTING. I am writing this comment. What the hell is boba fett doing on this list?!?! May I remind some people of the Star Wars expanded universe? In the EU boba became the leader of the mandalorians. And in episode five he is the ONLY one of an elite group of bounty hunters to track down Han Solo. And in the new marvel comic Star Wars: Skywalker strikes and Star Wars: Darth Vader, he tells Vader that he has a son. So boba fett is directly responsible for the ending of Star Wars the empire strikes back.

   Why does everyone love Boba so much, he does nothing cool. And he has the lamest death of all time. He says nothing, does virtually nothing, and is only popular because he looks cool.

   But please, go ahead. I know what your typing, tell me how he is totally redeemed in the joke of an expanded universe that is the Star Wars EU.

5. Jabba the Hutt

   

   Jabba the Hutt is a fictional character from the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. He is depicted as a large, slug-like alien. Jabba first appeared on screen in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi and was later included in the special edition of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope.

   Saying he sucks because he's ugly, creepy, a criminal, ugly, slimy, fat, etc. missed the point. He's SUPOSED to be that way. Also, he plays a big role: it's because of him that Solo is captured, he composes the whole start of RotJ AND, to top it all off, he is the reason Boba, a very popular (although overrated) appears on screen

   He was in episode one, four, and six. At least 3 episodes, that makes him pretty relevant.

   Jabba The Hut sucks! He's so pointless. He should be #1 plus he's worst than Jar Jar binks.

6. Greedo

   

   Greedo (or Greedo the Young) is a fictional character from the Star Wars franchise. He is portrayed by Paul Blake, as well as by Maria De Aragon in some close-up pickup shots in Star Wars (1977). Greedo is a Rodian bounty hunter best known for his encounter with Han Solo in the Mos Eisley Cantina.

   No way should he be here. I'm not saying he plays a huge role in anything but he does two moderately important things: he helps set up han solo's character in episode IV and helped build up the events of the beginning of episode VI.

   Jar Jar had some importance, as he gave palpatinr emergency powers. I hate Jar Jar much more, but Greedo was the most pointless person in the film's, as he did nothing.

   What does he have to do with anything. He's on screen for about 30 seconds confronting Han then just gets his face blown up. Pointless, didn't do anything

7. General Grievous

   

   General Grievous is a fictional character and antagonist in the Star Wars franchise. He served as the Supreme Commander of the Confederacy of Independent Systems' Droid Armies during the Clone Wars. Grievous is voiced by Matthew Wood and first appeared in Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003) before appearing... read more

   Just the worst Star Wars character in my opinion. His fight with Obi Wan is absolute garbage filmmaking. He takes up too much screen time and just takes important time that could go into Anakin's character development or developing Obi Wan and Anakin's friendship. He's not even cool, just a stupid coughing robot that gets taken out way too easily to be seen as a threat. L-A-M-E

   Incredible it's not Matthew Wood's fault that he was stuck with a character who was not the best in your minds but was a personal favorite of mine and the level of acting that Wood acted on WOW 11/10 mind blowing performance. If you try to voice out the General it is nearly impossible to get right and the coughing sounds so real. So overall I think what makes this character so good for me is the actor

8. TC-14

   

   She actually appears in Empire Strikes back. When C3PO is investigating that room in which he saw TC14 walk out of, he says hello to her and she replies with something offensive. So she does appear in more than one film, BUT she is still pointless

   C3Po was fussy but he was still a hero. Tc-14 is only in for like a minute at the beginning of The Phantom menace and thinks she's in charge during her conversation with the Jedi.

   I'm only voting for her because I don't want someone as awesome as Boba Fett to be in third place.

9. Rey

   

   Rey is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise and is portrayed by British actress Daisy Ridley. She made her first appearance as the central protagonist in the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

   Rey begins as a solitary scavenger on the desert planet Jakku, where she was abandoned as... read more

   She piloted the Millennium Falcon, first try. She fixed the Millennium Falcon before Han ' Solo did. She beat Kylo Ren with the force, despite not knowing what it was 24 hours previously. She had never picked up a blaster and was a perfect shot with it every time after a single miss. She beat Kylo Ren, who had presumably trained for years under Luke Skywalker and Snoke. His training wasn't complete, but it almost was, as demonstrated by the fact that he was literally undergoing a final trial of faith.

   She is not useless to the Force Awakens.

   But she IS useless to the entire Star Wars universe, just like the entire movie was.

   It seems that the people who voted Rey into the top ten are just people who have sour grapes about the Force Awakens. Rey is actually a better character than Luke in my opinion. The main reason people hate the movie and character and the movie is because she isn't Luke and the movie isn't the originals.

10. Nute Gunray

    

    Nute Gunray is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He appears in the prequel trilogy and in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Gunray is the Viceroy of the Trade Federation and later becomes a member of the Separatist Council during the Clone Wars.

    Nute gunray is just useless he is a pawn for darth sideous and appears to have no measure of personal desire or will. We are not told his motivations and his person is just cgi useless crap

    I mean, I'm not voting here, he was basically the leaded antagonist in Phantom Menace so the fact that he's here doesn't make sense.

    This is outrageous. Now there are 2 of them. I'm surprised the other guy with Nute throughout the prequel trilogy isn't on this list.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    Mon Mothma

    

    Mon Mothma is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. She served as a leader of the Galactic Senate's Loyalist faction and opposed Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's policies during the final days of the Republic. She later played a key role in forming and leading the Rebel Alliance.... read more

    UGLY and just stands there with that ugly grin.

12. ?

    Admiral Holdo

    
The Contenders

13. Maz Kanata

    

    Maz Kanata is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. Introduced in the 2015 film Star Wars: The Force Awakens, she is a CGI character voiced and performed through motion capture by Lupita Nyong'o. Maz is a wise and ancient alien who runs a tavern on the planet Takodana.

    She hasn't had a chance to do anything yet! She was in 1 movie...she will be important soon

    She was an okay character. She wasn't pointless

14. Ziro The Hut

    

15. Jango Fett

    

    Jango Fett is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise, created by George Lucas. He made his debut in the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, where he was portrayed by actor Temuera Morrison. Jango is the genetic template for the clone troopers and the father of Boba Fett... read more

    Leads to the clone wars and was the best bounty hunter ever in my opinion for three reasons.

    1. Had the clones modeled after him

    2. Had the power to train a clone to be his son Boba who ended up almost as good as him

    3. Killed the Jedi Master Colman Trevor in about three seconds with one but something some Sith Lord couldn't do and to boot Trevor was looking right at him

    His death was so scary. I mean, you saw him get beheaded. Nobody lives through that, not for long anyway. I mean sometimes the brain is still active for a few minutes after the beheading but... To be honest you guys I can't imagine a worse kind of hell.

16. L3-37

    

17. C3PO

    

    C-3PO is a humanoid robot character from the Star Wars franchise who appears in the original trilogy, the prequel trilogy, and the sequel trilogy. He is a protocol droid fluent in over six million forms of communication. C-3PO is often paired with the astromech droid R2-D2 and provides comic relief throughout... read more

    I love C3PO but despise R2,why do people like R2 better? 3PO is the perfect example of a brit.

    I know it was too dangerous! Why can he talks 3000 languages and be afraid of everything!

    No, C3PO is awesome. He appeared in every movie and face so many dangers and lived! In II with the battles droids, IV by stormtroopers, V by Stormtroopers and Darth Vader along with AT-ATs, and VI by Ewoks and Stormtroopers along with AT-STS! He is awesome and should not be on the list.

18. Sebulba

    

    Me. Why is anakin laying dead on the floor with blood.

    Sebula. Uh.

    Me. I will kill you

    Sebula. Ah.

    Blood flies

    He just added more minutes to the already horrible Phantom Menace

19. Finn

    

    FN-2187, better known as Finn, is a character from the Star Wars franchise. He made his first appearance in the 2015 film Star Wars: The Force Awakens, where he is introduced as a stormtrooper for the First Order who decides to defect after being horrified by the group's actions. Finn is portrayed by... read more

    He doesn't do anything. Rey is our hero! Replace this character with Rey right now!

    I know sidekicks are almost always useless but he just sucks at everything he does. like he had combat training in the empire and still managed to get stunned by a riot trooper while weilding a lightsaber.

    Finn is awesome there is nothing wrong with him if anything he is better than jar jar

20. Padme Amidala

    

    Padmé Amidala is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. She appears in the prequel trilogy and is portrayed by actress Natalie Portman. Padmé is the Queen and later Senator of Naboo and the mother of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa.... read more

    Padme didn't need to exist, in fact, the entire prequel trilogy never had to exist for Star Wars to tell a whole story. The original trilogy told us enough about Darth Vader's backstory. It's clear George wanted to capitalize on the name of Star Wars for as long as possible. Unlike her daughter, Padme is a bland character with no spunk or charisma. She's just boring to watch. And she has the worst character downgrade in Star Wars history. By ROTS, Padme was restricted to being a housewife who dies of a broken heart. Sad that she couldn't even live for her children. No offense to Natalie Portman, it's not my intention to make fun of her. In the story, she is obviously important though as she is the wife of Darth Vader and the mother of Luke and Leia, but she didn't need to exist.

21. Zam Wesell

    

    She doesn't exactly have a big part. She could have been as good as other bounty hunters if jango didn't kill her. She's a great female role that probably could have gone further. But lucasfilm gave her a 5 minute part and then she died. Classic for star wars

    There may not be much said about her, but I on the other hand thought that she was one awesome bounty hunter.

22. Darth Maul

    

    Darth Maul is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. Trained as Darth Sidious's first apprentice, he serves as a Sith Lord and wields a distinctive double-bladed lightsaber. Darth Maul first appeared in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace and later featured in Star Wars: The Clone Wars... read more

    This character had no reason to exist for 13 years. Until 2012 he was only a cool looking Sith. He had no large influence on the star wars galaxy. He was just there to look cool. It wasn't until he was put into the Clone Wars that he actually did something and even then all he did was get in the way of Obi Wan, do some stuff on Mandalore, and make Ezra act like he was going to the dark side for a couple of episode.

    Most overrated character. All he did was a random with lord who barely was scene in 15 minutes of the film. His only point was to kill qui gon forcing Obi wan to take anakin as his padawan, which might I add anyone could have done. In reality, he is just an overrated guy with horns and face paint, and a useless double sided lightsaber. Seriously, what is the point to that?

23. Watto

    

    Uglier than my sister. Well, maybe not.

24. Ezra Bridger

    

    Ezra Bridger is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise and the main protagonist of the animated series Star Wars Rebels. He is a Force-sensitive orphan from the planet Lothal who is taken in by the Ghost Crew and trained as a Jedi by Kanan Jarrus. Ezra was voiced by Taylor Gray in Star Wars... read more

    Who's this half Indian half Arabian bad face who could draw this and say oh yes lets make a star wars animation with him I mean who's deciding this I would say this is the worst star wars character ever and seriously just look at his dumb face and bad hair Disney should kill him before he lays eggs... pointless and dumb nothing more..

    He was part of the original rebels! Before a new hope and everything! He played a part by kicking off the entire rebellion

    The most annoying and terrible character of all...even worse than Jar Jar. Holdo, Rose, Jyn round out the top five worst.

25. Jyn Erso

    

    Jyn Erso is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. She is portrayed by English actress Felicity Jones in the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Jyn is a rebel soldier who plays a key role in stealing the plans for the Death Star.

    The protagonist overshadowed by all the supporting cast in all possible ways: acting, dialogue, development, charisma, action scenes...

    She's the most derivative and bland character of the Disney era.

    She was a main character in one movie! That is not pointless non - sensicle espes!

26. Kylo Ren

    

    Kylo Ren, also known as Ben Solo, is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He commands the First Order with a temper as fiery as his unconventional lightsaber. Kylo Ren first appeared in the 2015 film Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens. Ben Solo, the son of Han Solo and Princess Leia... read more

    Jar Jar was, for a long time, the worst Star Wars character ever made, but now, ever since Kylo Ren's behaviors took place, and because of what he did to one of the best characters of all time, he now surpasses Jar Jar as the worst SW character of all time.

    Seriously #28. Kylo Ren is the weakest villain in history and plus the top 4 pointless star wars characters are:

    4. Jango Fett

    3. jar Jar Binks

    2. Kylo Ren

    1. Jabba The Hut

    Ugh I hate this angry spoiled brat, he's just as bad as Jar Jar. Note to Kylo Ren in a stereotypical Brooklyn accent: Sweetie if you wanna imitate your grandfather next time remember to take off your mask in the last movie not the first one. Also why are Maz Katana and Supreme Leader Snoke not on here?

27. Salacious Crumb

    

    That laugh makes fanboy and chum chum look amusing.
