Let's fill this grid with fitting SW characters

Let’s play a game. Our goal is to fill each square with a fitting SW character. I’ll give you a few days to think about it and the comment with the most likes will be chosen.

First, we have the fan favorite. Which character do you suggest? I’d say The Man with No Name from the Dollars trilogy

I agree, I think Mr Eastwood is an easy choice for fan favourite :slightly_smiling_face:

I think any of Klaus Kinski’s characters would be fitting for ‘the gremlin’ :joy:

I nominate Fajardo for straight up evil

I think we are supposed to nominate a certain character (or characters (?) if they are all connected to a certain actor).

The Man with No Name has won the fan favorite spot. Next, we’ll have to nominate the SW character who is made to be hated

A toss-up between Eduardo Fajardo, Fernando Sancho, and Jose Bodalo…although we should also spare a thought for everybody’s favourite sidekick, Mario Brega

Not forgetting Klaus Kinski, who played the most polite badass imaginable, in ‘The Great Silence’.
Klaus also had the distinction of reputedly being a complete tw*t in real life…
Probably the only actor to be hated for real (by film Director, Werner Herzog).

In fact, my nomination for cold bastard goes to KK…even though he could quite easily fit into more than one of the above categories…(hated, gremlin, evil).

I was thinking of Kinski too. El Tigre from The Great Silence

He could fit in just pure evil too :thinking:

Quite right…Clint’s ‘Man With No Name’ belongs on Mount Rushmore…
After all, he was Mayor of Carmel, California… :smile:

I’d have to agree with Klaus Kinski for most hated

In the made to be hated category: my nomination would be Major Jackson (‘Django’), or maybe that very sinister character Kinski played in ‘Chacun pour soi’.

Kinski also has been a sort of antihero in Black Killer (7/10), so just the actor could be misleading.

I nominate Ferguson played by Mark Damon in Requiescant (7/10). That character could be considered Made to be hated, and I really liked his performance there and so did he himself according to an interview I watched a few weeks ago. You can hardly feel that it is the same actor who had been the antihero in several SWs.

Kinski also attempted to kill people and one of his producers wanted to kill him for insurance money iirc lol… he also sexually abused his underaged daughter for years allegedly (not sure I believe that though as it was his daughter who made these claims and its awfully convenient for her to say this stuff 20 years after he died with no evidence).

KK is a good choice for a lead actor but for a lesser actor I would go for the 3 bandits in Hannie Caulder (although this is a euro western I believe).

Since we couldn’t just agree on one single character, but rather one actor, the result is that villains played by Klaus Kinski are made to be hated

Next up is the hot one. My vote goes to Jill McBain from OUaTitW

Has to be … was just thinking this before reading your comment. Claudia Cardinale is simply miles ahead of the pack in this category.

Jill McBain is of course a very strong character, but as “hot” I prefer Isabella Carrasco from The Forgotten Pistolero :

Forgotten Pistolero Pilar Velasquez

or Estrella from Navajo Joe :

I agree that the Loco character of The Great Silence may be even a better example of being Made to be hated.
