Speaking of Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison), the bounty hunter, who became a sarlacc’s appetizer in “Return of the Jedi,” snagged the No. 2 spot in the poll with 19.93%. The character’s rank should not come as a great surprise. Despite being a minor character in the original trilogy, Boba instantly became a fan favorite. The franchise revisited the character in the prequel trilogy, and again in the animated “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.” After appearing in “The Mandalorian,” the character received his own series, “The Book of Boba Fett.” Unlike the other characters in the poll, Boba Fett had over four decades to build up a loyal fanbase, which is likely why fans loved his return to action in “The Mandalorian.”
Topping the list, with 37.33% of the vote, is the Mandalorian himself (Pedro Pascal). While it’s not a shock that the series’ title character earned first place, it’s an impressive feat given the character in question. With brief exceptions in the Season 1 finale and a scene in Season 2, Din Djarin wears a masked helmet, which denies viewers the opportunity to see and react to his facial expressions. Relying solely on his voice and occasional tilts of the head, Mando managed to capture the hearts of fans. His relationship with Grogu is both tender and comical, which serves as a balance to the series’ action-heavy sequences. Fans are sure to tune in when Din returns to Disney+ in Season 3 of “The Mandalorian,” slated to premiere in the latter half of 2022.
