10 most disliked Star Wars characters, ranked

In the sprawling galaxy of Star Wars, you'll find a constellation of characters, each shining with their own light... or lack thereof. It's a sci-fi fantasy saga that's as much about heroes and villains as it is about those who fans love to hate. Am I wrong? Didn't think so.

Some characters in the Star Wars universe are about as popular as a sandstorm on Tatooine - and often for reasons as varied as the species at the Mos Eisley Cantina. There are characters whose voices grate like a malfunctioning droid, others whose screen time seems to stretch much longer than the Kessel Run, and let's not forget those whose hairstyles seem inspired by intergalactic calamari. Then there are those characters whose mere presence on screen makes fans roll their eyes so hard they can actually see the back of their head.

Some characters are accused of single-handedly ruining childhoods as if wielding a lightsaber of disappointment. These characters might pop up with all the subtlety of a Wookiee in a library, their every word or action sparking debates across fan forums and sometimes even hurting friendship. Dramatic, I know. But such is the Star Wars fandom - I would know as I've been part of it from a very young age. It's as if these characters were designed in a secret lab with the sole purpose of testing fan loyalty. You'll hear fans argue about them at conventions, in online forums, and maybe even in line at your local game store, debating whether their existence adds depth to the galaxy or just clutters it like unnecessary space debris.

But let's face it: Star Wars wouldn't be the same without these characters. Each one, loved or hated, adds a unique flavor to the saga. They stir up emotions, spark discussions, and, in some cases, become the stuff of meme legend. Whether their reasons for being disliked are silly or well-founded, they are a testament to the saga's reach and impact. After all, in a galaxy that spans from the swamps of Dagobah to way beyond the deserts of Jakku, there's room for all sorts of characters.

Let's take a look at 10 specific characters, the ones fans love to hate, and why they're treated like this.
