Over at Cracked, they examine six stupid non-movie Star Wars characters. But, of course there’s some commentary on the movies in there, too:
Did the first gay Star Wars character have to be a creepy, purple, gangster slug? We're already trying to justify the fantastically racist Jar Jar Binks, the mincing gilded nancybot C-3PO, the vaguely Jewish/Middle Eastern swindler Watto and the fact that Darth Vader suddenly started speaking with the voice of a black man when he turned evil. Give us a little help here, guys.
Succinctly puts it all in perspective, doesn’t it?
