10 Most Hated Star Wars Characters
Those characters the fanbase wants to jettison into space.
There's no denying that Star Wars is one of the most ambitious and expansive fictional universes ever created, and over the last 40-plus years has delivered some of the most beloved and iconic characters in all of media.
But it's also unavoidable that among those cherished, legendary heroes and villains are also a swath of less-than-successful characters, who simply failed to connect with the fanbase - at least in the way their creators intended.
These 10 characters, no matter their allegiance, were all met with extreme derision from the most passionate corners of the fandom, who questioned the process through which they ever came to be.
From offputting digital creations to troubling racial caricatures and failed attempts at fan service, these characters represent the most controversial and widely-despised creatures in all of Star Wars.
The unfortunate flip-side, however, is that the Internet translated this vocal disapproval into wildly misguided hate campaigns against the poor actors themselves. That's the Internet for you.
Your own mileage will vary, of course, and some of these characters are certainly more "worthy" of vitriol than others, but they're collectively the ones who most aggravated audiences both causal and hardcore...
10. Boss Nass
As enticing as a Star Wars character voiced by Brian Blessed might be on paper, it's a shame the legendary thesp's booming vocals were wasted on the gelatinous leader of the Gungans, Boss Nass.
Only more tolerable than Jar Jar Binks (Ahmed Best) due to his sensibly limited screen time, Nass is nevertheless a grating character most every second he's in the movie.
Due to his offputting design - he doesn't even look like the other Gungans! - and penchant for inane chit-chat, even Blessed's spirited performance can't bring Nass to life, at least not in an appealing way.
Star Wars fans may well be prejudiced against Gungans, but with better writing Nass could've been an interesting kingpin-type character.
Instead he's a dull figurehead whose mere physical presence is an eyesore, while most everything that comes out of his mouth is nonsensical if not skating on the fringes of racial stereotyping.
