is not featured in any list of best movie villains. There is an "iconic" best movie villain in his franchise that I would bet does, though... I'm not really understanding anymore what this discussion is about, though. I feel Eowyn's scene in RotK was effective, and I don't feel the measure of it is whether she is more or less popular than Boba Fett among the denizens of the Internet. I suspect said denizens may not like girl power however done - I note Boba blows away Padme in a Googlefight.. though on the other hand, Ahsoka trumps Boba, which suggests the extended universe may be influencing things here rather than the movie presentation alone. Boba is certainly an interesting, appeaking character in the Clone Wars TV series, with strong episodes centered around his adventures (and for all I know, books, I don't read SW books). As regards their overall movie (only) presentation across all scenes in which they appear in the films of their franchises, I much prefer hers. Which is not entirely fair to Boba - I think she gets more time, and certainly more development of relationships, since she has meaningful interactions with Aragorn, Merry, Theoden, Grima, and Eomer (am I forgetting anyone?). And to me personally - while I was only discussing the one scene in itself, to me it is even more effective as part of the whole. I don't care exactly what words she says or exactly how she delivers them - the idea that she is discounted because she is female is developed before the scene and adds meaning to it. I especially like the longish scene (probably EE, with apologies, as I have not seen the TE in about 10 years) in which she encourages Merry to sharpen his sword, and has a discussion with Eomer about whether she is right to so encourage him. (War is the province of Men, Eowyn..., that conversation).
