Top 75 StarWars.com Databank entries - 75 to 51
The Homing Beacon, StarWars.com’s official newsletter, is counting down the top 75 StarWars.com Databank entries based on page views this year - we thought we’d countdown with them.
I’ve been subscribed to The Homing Beacon for years and, even though all of the movies have been released for quite awhile, the Homing Beacon team always manages to provide fresh, fun information on the Star Wars universe. The databank is a treasure-trove of great information, so we’re happy to link to the top 75.
Here are numbers 75 through 51 of the top 75 entries.
75. Trade Federation. This is an odd move for the Trade Federation. We best send Jedi to investigate.
74. Commander Bacara. The stone cold baddest of the clone commanders.
73. Commander Bly. This yellow-armored soldier blasted the lovely Aayla Secura in the back. Boo!
72. Anakin Skywalker’s Custom Jedi Starfighter. Anakin pimps out his fighter with mag-wheels and thumpin’ hydraulics during the Clone Wars.
71. Dusty Duck. Congratulations Hyperspace member, Hedec Ga! Your fan-created entry — a perk available to Hyperspace members — is one of only two of its kind to make it into the top 100.
70. Republic assault ship. The predecessor of the triangular Star Destroyers in the classic trilogy, seeing these ships at the end of Episode II made for a nice harbinger of things to come.
69. Wookiee. Let the Wookiee win! Or at least place in the top 100.
68. Yaddle. More than just Yoda in drag, Yaddle was killed off in the books to make room for cooler Jedi on the council.
67. Ki-Adi-Mundi. The chattiest of the Jedi Council supporting cast, the cone-headed Ki-Adi-Mundi is a lousy judge of character. Count Dooku a political idealist and not a murderer? Yeah, good call on that, Beldar.
66. Leviathan. Darth Malak’s enormous flagship from the Knights of the Old Republic game. Also the name of that underwater sci-fi film that came out in 1989 that wasn’t the Abyss.
65. clone commando. Hard-hitting novels by Karen Traviss plus a first-person shooter game from LucasArts made these special ops troopers unforgettable.
64. ARC troopers. No one would dare make fun of their skirts.
63. Pash Cracken. Pash Cracken? Really? Okay, yeah, he’s been in a couple of books, and underwent that whole P.O.W-thing in the New Jedi Order, but does he really warrant being on here? Really? Who thinks about Pash Cracken?
62. Shadow Troopers. Another fan-generated entry; congrats to Maso Tirag.
61. Darth Vader’s suit. No, not Skywalker vs. Mustafar Scaffolding Limited. These are the black duds that give Vader his unmistakable presence.
60. C-3PO. The golden droid is far from doomed. He’s downright popular. This is his moment to shine.
59. Sith fighter. These speedy little ships are fun to shoot out of the sky in the gunport levels of Knights of the Old Republic.
58. Commander Neyo. Daylight come and he wants to lead clones.
57. Aarrba the Hutt. On second thought, we take back everything we said about Pash Cracken.
56. X-wing fighter. The unbeatable starfighter design against which all other fighters are judged.
55. Jar Jar Binks. Take that bashers! Meesa muy muy more popular than clone commandos.
54. Coruscant. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere in the galaxy.
53. AT-AT. The toy every kid wanted to have. Remember the old TV ad where it was stomping coffee creamer cups?
52. battle droid. Popular with guys named Roger.
51. Clone Commander Cody. We’re pretty sure he’s the only Star Wars character to share a name with a black-and-white movie serial and a country rock band, though admittedly, we really didn’t do that much research.
We’ll bring you the next set of 25 once The Homing Beacon gives us the list. Do you have any favorite entries, characters, or vehicles from the Star Wars universe?
