Rise of Skywalker: Top 10 Star Wars Movie Villains, Ranked

TheStar Warssaga is coming to an end withThe Rise of Skywalkernow just over a calendar month forth . Despite the mixed receipt toThe Last Jedi , devotee seem on board with the megahit and uncoerced to grade their faith in JJ Abrams bear a satisfying decision to a dealership that has so far span over 40 years , 10 movies and 100s of fascinating character .

With that in mind , we now take a look at the salutary regretful guys we ’ve seen on - filmdom over the last four decades .

Supreme Leader Snoke

Supreme Leader Snoke was introduce inThe Force Awakensand his disfigured aspect , villainous persona , and resemblance to Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader immediately had fans muse . Who was he ? Just who was this person who had turned Ben Solo to the dark side , just as the Emperor did with Anakin Skywalker all those years ago ?

Well , we still do n’t know our answer . Snoke had charisma and on - screen presence but was killed by Kylo without us getting an account . That ’s why he does n’t rank higher and , trueness be told , Andy Serkis ’ eccentric is lucky to march into this leaning over Krennic , Boba Fett , and Hux given how little we got of him . Still , we like what we saw .

Darth Maul

Before the discharge ofThe Phantom Menaceback in 1999 , everybody was hyped to see what Darth Maul would be like . His action image and other merchandise textile all sold well with people intrigue to see what the bad guy of the prequel trilogy would be like compare to Darth Vader , the antagonist of the master copy movies .

Well , he did n’t last long . Maul showed just how nerveless he was with some harebrained lightsaber skill , defeating Qui - Gon Jinn during a fiery showdown on Naboo , but was beaten by Obi - Wan Kenobi . George Lucas intend for the Sith Lord to stay dead , but he was brought back to the liberal screen by Disney forSolo : A Star Wars Storyhaving antecedently pop up inThe Clone Warsanimated series . A case of what might have been .

Count Dooku

Something that made the abrupt end of Darth Maul relatively all right was the news that the awful Christopher Lee would be portraying a villainous character named Count Dooku for 2002’sAttack of the Clones . pass on Lee ’s stock within Hollywood , it seemed a shrewd decision succeed the mixed recoil to the premature picture .

Lee is awesome in that megahit , show Dooku to be an intriguing character who , while on a part of the saturnine side , also has flickers of spark within . He ’d probably be high-pitched if he had n’t been killed so easily by Anakin Skywalker during the early stages ofRevenge of the Sith .

Jango Fett

While we loved Christopher Lee as Count Dooku , he was still overshadow by another bad guy cable withinAttack of the Clones . Of course , we ’re referring to Bounty Hunter Jango Fett , who had a flock more time on the big screen compare to his son , Boba , during the original trilogy .

Jango was one of the best things about the second prequel movie . He ’s an awing attack aircraft , as shown when he ’s able to get away from Obi - Wan Kenobi on Kamino . He ’s get cool arm and a nerveless ship , too . It ’s just a ignominy that he did n’t play a self-aggrandising part in the Geonosis conflict at the terminal of the picture , with Mace Windu mercilessly beheading him on the battleground of action at law before thing really got break down .

General Grievous

Even to this day , General Grievous still stands out as a magnificent villain . With his cyborg armor , coupled with the fact that he is able to wield four lightsabers at the same fourth dimension , he looked as if he ’d be a formidable opponent for the heroes of the galaxy to vote out .

Yet the diminished caveat with Grievous is that he is n’t inRevenge of the Sithfor very long . The scenes he is in are passing entertaining , such as his showdown with Obi - Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker above the sky and his skirmish with Kenobi on Utapau , but he is n’t in the smash hit as much as he should be .

Jabba The Hutt

AStar Warsbad guy does n’t needfully have to be in the thick of things all the way through , and Jabba the Hutt is a prize example of that . He make a fleeting appearance inA New Hope , is wanting fromThe Empire Strikes Back , but return with a smash — or a thud — forReturn of the Jediin 1983 .

He ’s everything you want from a bad bozo . He ’s frigid , calculating and takes corking pleasure in the suffering of others . He openly laughs at Leia ’s attack to rescue Han Solo and give way one tone further when he makes her his slave . Thankfully she gets the last laugh , using her shackles to buy the farm Jabba to death before miss his canvas barge with Luke Skywalker , Han Solo , Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian in tow .

Grand Moff Tarkin

Here ’s the man who is the very understanding that Orson Krennic did n’t make the final cut of this inclination . Grand Moff Tarkin and his fellow Empire heavyweight would likely have been neck and neck if it was n’t forRogue Onewhich , while it deploy some confutable use of CGI , enhanced Peter Cushing ’s persona even more .

Tarkin , in that movie , is abhorrent . He savour taking over the Death Star controls and clear enjoys doom Krennic to death on Scarif . InA New Hope , he ’s even worse . He giddily utilize the Death Star to demolish Leia Organa ’s home planet of Alderaan , shocking Obi - Wan Kenobi with his evil . gratefully for the undecomposed guys , they ’re able to get their revenge by blowing up the first Death Star — with him on it .

Kylo Ren

Like many characters within the Star Wars sequel trilogy , Kylo Ren is rather factious . His mood literally seems to change from one scene to the next , just like inThe Last Jedi . One minute of arc he ’s tranquil and compose , kill Supreme Leader Snoke , the next he ’s shout out in angriness as he demands Luke Skywalker be polish off on Crait .

It ’s because of that why Kylo comes in third . He ’s genuinely fascinating to watch because you never roll in the hay what you ’re going to get . Even two movies into the sequel trilogy , Ben Solo come across as conflicted , and it will be interesting to see what JJ Abrams decide to do with his character forThe Rise of Skywalker .

Darth Vader

This was unmanageable . Choosing between Darth Vader and the Emperor as Star Wars ’ ultimate scoundrel is like choosing between chocolate and candy — you just love both equally as much . Yet , Vader has to take the flatware ribbon here because , ultimately , his routine of redemption cost him the top booty .

Vader is bad throughout pretty much all three of the original trilogy motion-picture show , murdering countless victims , and pull up stakes a trail of devastation in his Wake Island as he hound down Luke Skywalker . He ’d have taken the No . 1 spot if it were n’t for the very end ofReturn of the Jediwhen he drop his evil identity to return to being Anakin Skywalker . If you ’re to be the power bad guy , you ca n’t have one shred of illumination inside you .

Emperor Palpatine

And that ’s why Emperor Palpatine comes top of the list . He ’s back forThe Rise of Skywalker , and we ’re excited to see how Disney explains his absence from the previous two movies . Because , so far , he ’s been nefarious all the means through .

Take the prequels : he get down his handling of Anakin Skywalker while the character was still Jake Lloyd , rather than Hayden Christensen . He then ordinate the death of every Jedi Knight around the wandflower and even subjects Anakin to torture when he ensure he ’s deposit up after his fight with Obi - Wan Kenobi without any anesthetic .

In the originals , he ’s a cackling , nasty individual . He would have deliver the goods in defeating the Rebel Alliance if it was n’t for the late interposition of Vader . We ca n’t wait to see how he design to spring back …
