This is such a hard choice, but I'll go with Luke.

George Lucas was seduced by the dark side. The OOT ceased to exist in his mind and became the Special Editions...." "They're more maching now than movies. Twisted and evil."

This is really difficult.

I'm going to have to go with Luke, though, for three reasons.

One: When I was a kid, I always wanted to be Luke. (who didn't?)

Two: His character wasn't lessened any by the prequels. Yoda, on the other hand, went from cool sage to weird midget with a speech impediment.

Three: Two words......C'mon! C'mon!

Luke, definitely, no question. Luke's always been my number-one Star Wars homey! Word.

And I loved the speech impediment/midget thing. Tee hee.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Yoda is either a bad puppet or a caricature in the prequels, so I'm going to ignore the prequels to give him his best shot.

So, Yoda is great in ESB, but he's more or less the same in ROTJ and he's not in it much, and he's not in SW at all.

Luke is great in all three and different in all three: naive farm boy to serious force student to powerful Jedi. And Mark Hamill plays them all well.

So: Luke.

In my point of view, Yoda has always been a secondary character. He's great, but just secondary.

So, it's definitely Luke.

It's hard, but...

Yoda.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Seeing as Luke wasn't in the prequels and Yoda was ruined by the prequels, I will be using only the OT to make my decision.

I love Yoda and his wise, sage-like words. I love the spiritual element he added to Star Wrs and for me Yoda is one of the characters that really elevated the trilogy to something special. I would like to actually meet Yoda and be taught by him.

However, we don't know Yoda's origins and the development he went through to get to that point. It might be that he had a tough life and learned the ways of the ofrce, it might be that he was born that way. We don't know. Maybe the fact that we don't know is one of the reasons we like him.

But with Luke, we see his development. We see his rise from naive farmboy to Jedi, and we can assume that he will go on to be as wise as Yoda, but taller. Seeing as I am ignoring the prequels, Midichlorians are of no concern to me, and I personally do not believe the force is genetic. Some are more predisposed to it than others, but it is available to everyone if they are willing to cast off the shackles of human (or alien) thought and rise to a new level. Han was not willing to make this leap, but Luke was. As a result, we can all relate to Luke, and he can be a role model to us all. We see Luke choose to better himself, resist the quick and easy way to the dark side, and ultimately make good and walk into the sunset to grow even further.

So I guess I vote for Luke.

War does not make one great.

I wouldn't say Yoda was ruined. But he was definitely tainted.

But I'm voting for LUKE. for many of the reasons already cited.
There's good in the Original Trilogy, and it's worth fighting for.

Luke was trained by Yoda. Yoda saved the universe.

I suppose: Yoda

Well, I think he means he vicariously saved the world through Luke, although I don't buy it.

I also have to go with Luke.
The prequels cheapened Yoda and messed up his character too much.

Luke Skywalker owns all.
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Red heads ROCK. Blondes do not rock. Nuff said.

I guess it wasn't the best support I could give, but oh well....

Although, I don't like Luke because he became a master jedi in weeks when it took EVERYONE else years.

I don't think Luke ever was a jedi master, at least not in the films. I never saw it that way.

He wasn't. He was barely a Jedi Knight.

Well he contended with Vader for a while, unless Vader didn't want to kill him (for obvious reasons). Either that or Vader was just too old and tired.

And concerning Yoda, I liked him better in the prequels because he looked less like a drunkard (take any screen capture....you'll see) and more like a sage that was wise and powerful at the same time. In other words, he had more character and "depth" than a hand puppet ever would.
