Best:

1- OT Vader

2- stormtroopers

3 - Palpatine/Sidious

4 - Tarkin

5 - Dooku

6 - ROTJ jabba

7 - grevious

8- Rancor

9- AOTC coliseam monsters

10-tusken raiders

11-wampa

12 - the rolling droids

 

worst:

battledroids (spare me the whole 'they were supposed to be lame')

nute gunray

TPM sea monsters

geonosians

jango fett (well..he maybe ok..but the whole 'jango was used to make the clones' sucked)

buzz droids

 

overhyped:

darth maul

 

overrated:

boba fett

 

poorly executed:

dark side anakin

Since the option of all Star Wars lore was left open, I would have to say Grand Admiral Thrawn was the best.  By far the most interesting and threatening bad guy, and he didn't even have the Force or any superweapons at his disposal.

 BEST:
OT Vader

Tarkin

Dooku. I know a lot of people don't care for him, but Lee brings such gravitas and dignity to the character, it carries within his performance a hint at the kind of self-deception that would be inherent in being so evil.

Garridian

Darth Maul. Was scary, cool, seemed a legit threat with little need to waste time on him.

WORST

AOTC Seperatists. All this build up, and we see a bunch of silly cartoons having a staff meeting.

Younglings. They have that scene in AOTC showing that younglings are armed, but they don't get to put up a fight in ROTS. I'd love to see 19 little kids fighting Anakin at once.

I used to think Tarkin was just obnoxious, interfering with the cool Darth Vader when I was a kid.  And I imagined that when he approached Leia saying, "I grow tired of asking this..." I couldn't help but imagine some old man with bad breath breathing, "Hhhhhwhere is the Rebel base?" across her face and up her nostrils.  But now as an adult, I find his character very fascinating, a very different villain from Vader, but quite threatening and interesting in his own regard.

I think Dooku had potential but was wasted.

And I have to admit, when I first came up with darth_ender, it was an homage to Darth Maul, though now I prefer to relate it to Darth Vader, still a very cool bad guy.

They were villains?  Do you always root for the bad guys or something?

Viceroy's what? 

Battle droids?  Accent?  Catchphrases?

Moff Tarkin. The dude had control over Vader. You gotta do a lot of fucked up shit to get that kind of respect.

I say never release the originals. Keep the fans talking about something.

Best Villain: The Emperor - because the prequels didn't ruin him.

Worst Villain: Darth Vader - because the prequels did ruin him.

Since they're like poetry, what with the rhyming and all, I find that I only need to watch three out of the six films.

I take it you haven't seen the Yoda/Emperor fight in ROTS then? Or the Mace/Emperor fight?  Or the aftermath of that fight?  Or...ah hell, basically the entire second half of ROTS?

Or the name Darth Sidious for that matter.

Not denying any of those points.

For me, only the Mace/Sidious fight sucks some of the coolness from his character.  What with the "Unlimited Power" remark.  But I've always enjoyed the Yoda vs. Emperor fight.  Which is my favorite lightsaber duel from the prequels.

I'd have to say that Vader was the worst villain. He was the most simple, and the least baddass. The Fetts are where it's at! I mean, look at that jetpack!
