10 most disliked Star Wars characters, ranked

10. Mace Windu (prequel trilogy)

Mace Windu, the stoic Jedi Master in the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, often finds himself on the list of characters who get mixed reviews from fans. Here's a bit about why some people aren't exactly throwing a parade in his honor. For starters, Mace's personality is like a piece of plywood - pretty flat and stiff. He's known for his stern demeanor and an unwavering adherence to Jedi rules, which honestly makes him come across as a bit of a party pooper in the galaxy. While others are out having lightsaber duels and engaging in witty banter, Mace is there with his stern face, reminding everyone about the Jedi Code. It's like having that one friend who always follows the rules at a party - necessary, but not always fun.

Then there's the issue of depth, or rather, the lack of it. Mace Windu, despite being played by the charismatic and well-loved Samuel L. Jackson, doesn't get much of a backstory or emotional arc. He's kind of like that mysterious uncle who shows up at family gatherings - you know he has some cool stories, but he never shares them. Fans crave characters with layers but with Mace, what you see is what you get - a skilled Jedi with an awesome purple lightsaber and an expression that suggests he's perpetually unimpressed.

It's a bit of a missed opportunity, considering he could have added much more flavor to the rich Star Wars universe. Instead, he's like the plain bagel in a world full of everything bagels - good, but could have been so much more interesting with a few more toppings.
