2. Mace Windu
As well as having the distinction of being in basically every other motion picture from about 1994 onwards, Samuel L. Jackson is also bestowed the privilege of being the most fantastically pointless head honcho in a major feature ever. Exactly why his character in the Star Wars prequels is awarded so much power is mystifying, but that, in general, is the gist of it: everyone presumes Mace Windu is a total geezer of the Jedi Council but no-one actually knows what it is he does. Ostensibly he makes a career out of bullying poor little Anakin Skywalker with completely uncalled for criticisms before arguably causing him the nervous breakdown that makes him flee to the dark side. A long shot? Okay then: if not, he does nothing but stand around being an arrogant sod, and wielding a purple lightsaber that so obviously gets him off his rocker each time he sparks it up and swooshes it about. A total moron in other words.
