Which Star Wars character do you think is the most offensive in the mythos?

I'd say that Jar Jar Binks followed by Watto are the most offensive.

Jar Jar, Nute Gunray, and Watto are all tied for most offensive.

I would include Captain Phasma too actually. Not for being any sort of affront to a demographic or culture, but because she was so poorly utilized in both of the films she appeared in. She came off as nothing more than a toy advertisement. So in some sense, that's pretty offensive. Sure, there have been other characters in the franchise that were meant solely to be products, but they at least had more impact on the plot than Phasma ever did.

I'll say it: Watto is more offensive than Jar Jar.

Im going to answer from a actual story telling perspective: Rose. Every other character in the series I can think of one or two things that they actually contribute to the narrative. Rose has nothing

Wrong. She contributed to the biggest laugh I got out of 'The Last Jedi.'

When she abruptly confessed her love for Finn right before collapsing, Finn immediately stopped caring because he realized Rey was present on the planet. Finn basically said "yeah, sure, whatever, Rose. REY'S HERE!? WHERE IS SHE!?" Hilarious.

You can think of one or two things that Elan Sleazebaggano contributes to the narrative? Really?

The most offensive star wars character is the one who will win.  But the 1st runner up gets the crown!

Anakin’s sand complaint offended my pro-beach sensibilities.

The only one that I find even a little offensive is Jar-Jar

I'll give you that one. She really dropped the Jedi training ball with the direction the franchise is going.

I disagree. I rather like the former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland.

Jar Jar Binks is very offensive because he is a mockery of Jamaicans and Watto is offensive because he has a large nose and is obsessed with money regardless of what George Lucas intended.


Way to be a party pooper.

Jar Jar Binks.

That was a low point in the movie series for me.

Wattoo's Hissidic bowler hat in Episode II and Jar Jar appearing in like the second scene and becoming a major plot point in the rise of the Emperor is George Lucas basically trolling his critics in Episode I, to a point that it was offensive to fans and the ethnic minorities mirrored alike. I'll have to go with Wattoo though.
