elementalheroOnce again, time to revisit this meme!

digthenym asked me for:
TOP FIVE JEDI (I'm adding a corollary: Jedi who aren't Luke, because he's amazing and I love him, but his characterization is surprisingly (or unsurprisingly, really) inconsistent across the EU, and everybody knows him already anyway.)
5. Ganner: Because, a.) he's to sexy for his shirt, and b.) he has the BEST DEATH IN THE HISTORY OF THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE, EVER. "None shall pass." Turst me when I say, in context, it is the brain-explodingly awesomest shit ever. Oh, Matthew Stover, you brilliant beacon of amazing, you.
4. Kyp Durron: He's kind of one of those archetypes I have a weakness for, the hot-headed guy who runs off thinking evil's kinda cool for a while and ends up being manipulated/used/possessed/any-number-of-permutations-of-this-concept by the Big Bad, but then realizes what a dick he was and comes back to the liiiiiight~ Plus he's a total bamf, and kind of a lol factory, with his arrogance and his snark and his hawtness (in my head, anyway). Best line ever in the EU was sometime during the Vong War, when Luke ends up having to sort of admit, based on new information, that their concept of what "the Dark Side" really is might be kind of out of date, and Kyp's like, "Hey, we could have been casting awesome lightning bolts and crazy shit this whole time??? When this war is over, I call first dibs on punching Luke in the face." And then later in the book, someone else (might have been Jaina, possibly?) was talking to Luke and said they'd like to punch him (annoyed with him for some reason I HAVE TO REREAD ALL THIS), and Luke's like, "You'll have to get in line behind Kyp first." lololol ilu, Kyp~
3. Jaina Solo: She's pure awesome on wheels. Nothing can stop the Jaina machine. She's the Sword of the Jedi, she's a fantastically awesome person who does not put up with shit, and she's the smarter half of the Solo twins.AND WAS NEVER GIVEN BRAIN CANCER BY BUGS, FRACK YOU TROY DENNING
2. Jacen Solo: The dorkier half of the Solo twins, Jacen is a philosophical hotbed of amazing fantasticness. He'san older brother THE MAIN CHARACTER OF "TRAITOR," THE BEST STAR WARS BOOK EVER WRITTEN IN EVER, by Matthew Stover, who is God.
A note about Jacen: If you are at least familiar with the EU, you may have heard something about him going crazy and turning to the Dark Side, and doing all kinds of awful shit, and I'm here to tell you that that is absolutely untrue and entirely the fault of FRICKING TROY DENNING, WHO IS BASICALLY THE ANTICHRIST BECAUSE I HATE HIM SO MUCH. (Oh, and I suppose I should blame Karen Traviss and Aaron Allston, too. Allston gets off scot-free, though, because he's a fun writer who is cool. I'm reserving judgment on Traviss in order to better hate Troy Denning.)
1. Mara Jade Skywalker.
Mara. Jade. Skywalker.
FULL STOP.
TOP FIVE DRAMATIC CAPE MOMENTS (Code Geass)
5. When Lelouch puts it around Euphy's shoulders on the island. IDK, I just thought it was pretty cute.
4. When he's talking about KNIGHTS OF JUSTICE and he holds out his hand and does the dorky grasping hand gesture like JUSTIIIIIIICE~ ahaha~
3. On the train, when he does the whole fling arm to left "THE CITY OF THE BRITANNIANS," fling arm to right "THE CITY THEY STOLE FROM US," deal. He's a fan of that.
2. When they're doing their first big mission with Zero (saving Suzaku), and they do the montage of him pulling on his gloves, putting on cape, putting on mask deal~ It's just kind of RIDICULOUSLY DRAMATIC and I lol every time.
1. *fling one arm* "ENEMIES OF JUSTICE, FEAR ME!"
*fling other arm* "WEAK AND DEFENSELESS, SEEK ME!"
pfffffff ahaha LELOUCH YOU GIANT SPAZ I LOVE YOU
