9. Boba Fett
Boba Fett is one of the most popular figures in the Star Wars universe, but also a pretty divisive one. Is he an incredibly cool and dangerous bounty hunter, whose deadly ability means he even commands the respect of Darth Vader, or is he instead a character who actually does very little before getting killed in the most humiliating way possibel? As you might've guessed by his presence on his list, I'm very much in the former camp. Boba is not only awesome looking, but he's one of the most bad-ass and feared men in the galaxy (even if his death did him a huge disservice). Sure, he's not a Sith Lord and doesn't have a lightsaber, but Lord Vader doesn't just treat anybody with that kind of respect, as if he is almost an equal. He's the best bounty hunter in the business, even more ruthless than his father Jango; he flies Slave 1; he captured Han Solo; his backpack's got jets; he bounty hunts for Jabba Hutt to finance his 'Vette. Respect is power, and he sure has that.
