There are a lot of heroes in the Star Wars universe — almost too many to keep track of.

Some of them are among the most memorable characters in all of fiction, and some are memorable for being the absolute worse. (Meesa think probably you know exactly who we are talking about. How rude!)

Some of the best characters fighting for the good side of the Force throughout the films have been in our lives for decades, like R2-D2 and Luke Skywalker. And some, like BB-8 or Rey, haven't been in the universe for long, but their impact is already powerful.

We ranked 34 of the most notable and memorable heroes in the Star Wars universe, from General Leia to Jar Jar Binks.

Here's the Star Wars heroes, ranked from worst to best:

34. Jar Jar Binks

Do I even have to explain this? Jar Jar Binks, who voted to give Palpatine emergency powers while he was subbing for Padmé's role as senator, is honestly a villain.

33. Padmé Amidala

It's unfortunate that Padmé was so poorly written. On paper, she's just as exciting as other female characters in the Star Wars universe like Leia and Rey: she's a leader who will do anything to fight for her people and the Republic. But her dialogue and characteristics were so bad that she isn't memorable. She doesn't need Anakin, and would be a part of the story despite their romantic relationship, but like most characters in the prequels, she just doesn't have any personality beyond what her job is. She was also dumb enough to select, of all beings, Jar Jar Binks to replace her in the senate.

32. Rose Tico

There's isn't anything wrong with Rose, but her presence felt a little like a last-minute add-on. We do like her, but still don't feel like we know her well, beyond the fact that her sister died to save the Rebel Alliance. Hopefully we'll get to know her better in the next episode.
