Over the coming weeks, I will be running a series of polls to determine who is the Greatest Expanded Universe Character Ever.
Here's the deal. Since this is my LJ, I have taken the liberty to lay out my list of the EU Hall of Fame from comics, books, and games. They're not all necessarily characters I love to pieces and I realize not everybody on my f-list likes the EU. My criteria is simple. If they are great characters who hold their own, if they are characters who have affected the SW fandom, and/or if they are just plain hard to ignore, I've nominated them. Love them or hate them or indifferent, they're the all-stars of EU-dom. The following are already "in":
Aayla Secura
Quinlan Vos
Corran Horn
Jacen Solo
Jaina Solo
Anakin Solo
Cade Skywalker
Asajj Ventriss
Mara Jade
Baron Fel
Grand Admiral Thrawn
Tenel Ka
A'Sharad Hett
Tahiri Veila
Siri Tachi
Xanatos
Kyle Katarn
Darth Revan
Darth Bane
Who else deserves to be considered? I'm leaving that up to you. Nominate your fave EU characters or the ones you think are important. They can be obscure or well-known, they can be from new stuff or from "Splinter of the Mind's Eye." They can be from the games, comics, books, or other spinoff media. The only thing is they MUST have originated in the EU. Aayla Secura became a canon movie character, but she started off in the comics. Don't nominate Boba Fett even though he first appeared in The Star Wars Holiday Special; he was created first as a movie character. Got it?
Next Monday, I will add the seven most popular nominees to my list. Then the first round of polls will begin the following Sunday.
