Hi all,
Today I want to dedicate this post (plus) the title looks like a movie Antena 3 on a Saturday late to a question rooted in the tradition of Star Wars: how bad is George Lucas's most charismatic characters, especially villains.
While it is a common feature of many of the most interesting side have, understandably, few occurrences (see Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original trilogy, or Mace Windu in the most recent, while devoid of any interesting characters like Jar Jar Binks or partner in the new trilogy droid have a more noticeable presence on the screen) the misuse of some villains and the contempt with which it seems to treat good old George is just bleeding. We could really divide the villains among those who have been removed or disposed of quickly in the series, with minor roles or testimonials, or simply have been wasted, seeing the potential they possessed, and among those who directly have been ridiculed. In both cases, shows that Lucas does not have an eye to decide which characters give ball characters and what not.
In the first group might include the following:
Grand Moff Tarkin
who gives life Peter Cushing in the original trilogy is one of those characters who fill the screen. While is a purely secondary character and arguably unnecessary (any task that plays Tarkin in the film could easily have been assumed by Darth Vader or the Emperor himself of having "given birth" in the first film), no doubt it is a type when you hate from the first minute. Each time it appears, the great Peter Cushing gets to know that this guy is really evil and ruthless. Moreover, during the meeting that happens on the Death Star, Tarkin demonstrates his authority by giving orders to Darth Vader himself.
However, taking such a villain, with great charisma, as many of the bad SW, died without time to develop it as is due to explode in the future and a possible rivalry Tarkin - Vader. It is possible that Luke wanted to kill the bad received "his due" without having to sacrifice Darth Vader (his great success in A New Hope is to keep alive, despite the initial uncertainty about a sequel), but is certainly someone who could have given much of himself in the following movies.
Count Dooku
When I went to see Attack of the Clones to the movies (one of the worst movies I've seen in my life, along with Indiana Jones 4 it is a coincidence), only bored me out of viewing such an aberration posed film the appearance of this man on screen. Count Dooku presented himself as a former Jedi who no longer believed in the value of the Order of the same name to keep the peace and justice in the galaxy, and revealed that the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious, was actually who ruled the Republic, in this situation, intended to Obi-Wan to join him in order to end corruption in the Galactic Senate and step with the evil Sith Master.
Before me appeared a character with great potential, both as a personal argument. The first clearly referring to his appearance as a third force. If the main and essential struggle in the series is the battle between the Sith and Jedi, between good and evil, the entry of a third position was more ambiguous than interesting. I said "wow, very well thought a Jedi aware of the decline of the Order decides to leave and warned that the Republic is corrupt and to be under his tutelage to be under the grip of Palpatine / Sidious, he prefers to leave her, forming an army to fight that. " In addition, its elegance and interpretation of Christopher Lee (another actor touched by God) gave him an immediate magnetism.
However, the good Count was, unfortunately, as liar as flat. Finally revealed as a mere apprentice to the Sith Master, evil through and through, immersed in the plot to us and we were smelling was revealed inadvertently by the mediocrity of the script, several minutes ahead of schedule. Besides his intentions were topical, and also their skills, becoming a bad copy of the Emperor. Would have a hard time to imagine any other Sith well-known force Rays to give her own personality, just like they gave it the Emperor?. The character called to renew the heavy and predictable plot EADLC cartoon became a sigh in the mere excuse to teach a digital Yoda jumping around and using a lightsaber. For
last straw, in Episode III, saw its end in a rather artificial, after a fight that he did justice and without making clear why all who knew Palpatine's plans did not say when he ordered word Anakin Skywalker to kill him. I always had the impression that the short fight with Count Dooku is, again, as artificial as its source: it is there to get it out of the way early.
In the case of Count Dooku, the lie that she told Obi-Wan on Geonosis was, for once, far more interesting than the truth.
