I have to go with Princess Leia. She was my hero - shero if you will. I had never seen anyone like her before in movies or on TV. Yes, she was a "damsel in distress" who had to be rescued, but she had been taken prisoner *not* because she was the daughter or love interest of someone important - *she* was important. She was one of the key leaders of the Rebel Alliance. She was brave, smart, sassy, dedicated...and short, like me However, I was disappointed in her diminished role in The Return of the Jedi. After hinting that the Force was with her, too in TESB, Lucas didn't really do anything with that in ROTJ. Also, even though she did some cool things like helping to rescue Han, killing Jabba, etc., she seemed less like Princess Leia, Leader of the Rebel Alliance, and more like Leia, Han's girlfriend and Luke's sister. Anyway, I also love Han. I think I appreciated more as I got older At the time, I preferred Luke, though I must admit it was probably more that he was my first crush than that he was a great character. But I think many people are too hard on Luke, calling him whiny, etc. I think he's very relatable. I can certainly relate to yearning for something more from life, and then when opportunity presents itself, feeling unsure. Also gotta love 3PO! And I agree about Alec Guiness - awsome! Peter Cushing as Gov. Tarkin was also very memorable. Old British actors really know their stuff.
