Who is your favorite Dark Side bad guy?

Star Wars Bad Guys

TL;DR I just want to vote!

Asajj Ventress had a very tough childhood: taken from her mother, thrown into slavery, and watching her Jedi master die. Holding the Jedi Order responsible for her mentor's death, she embraced the Dark Side of the Force but was betrayed when Palpatine ordered Dooku to kill her because she had grown too powerful. Asajj sacrified herself to save Quinlan Vos for whom she had romantic feelings.

Boba Fett, a clone of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, specialized in the Empire's dirty work. Fett, working a contract for Darth Vader, tracked Han Solo to Cloud City, encased him in carbonite and then sold Han to the gangster Jabba the Hutt. Boba Fett took a job from Jabba where he fought Luke Skywalker and eventually ended up in the belly of the Sarlacc. The fearless bounty hunter with his battle-scarred armor and jetpack is a fan favorite.

Captain Phasma, a high ranking member of the First Order, sported a chrome stormtrooper outfit and a ruthless determination. Phasma was the ideal stormtrooper: emotionless, efficient, and would stop at nothing to further the Empire. She was an excellent marksman, an inspiring leader, and a perfectionist.

Count Dooku, a member of Serenno's royalty, trained as a Jedi under Master Yoda and took Qui-Gon Jinn as his apprentice. Dooku fell to the dark side, took the name of Darth Tyranus, and fought for the Separatists under Palpatine. Dooku was a cunning and confident warrior, a master strategist, and a political idealist. Anakin Skywalker killed Dooku in a lightsaber battle.

Darth Maul, wielding his double bladed lightsaber, trained under the dark lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious, and was employed as his personal assassin. Sidious sent Maul to kill Obi-Wan Kenobi and his master Qui-Gon Jinn. Darth Maul killed Jinn in battle but Kenobi defeated the assassin by cutting him in half. Some years later, Maul, who somehow survived his fight with Kenobi, sought revenge against his old master Darth Sidious and his replacement Darth Vader.

Darth Sidious, a.k.a. the Emperor, a.k.a Sheev Palpatine, went from senator to Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic to Emperor of the Galactic Empire by means of treachery, deceit, and the Dark Side of the Force. Palpatine, who was incredibly intelligent, cunning, power-hungry and strong in the Force, had two main goals in life: to become immortal and to eradicate the Jedi Order. While Palpatine didn't live forever, he did destroy the Jedi and control the galaxy through his Sith Order.

Darth Vader started life as a slave boy named Anakin Skywalker on the desert planet of Tatooine before joining the Jedi Order and eventually being reborn as a Sith lord. Skywalker was proclaimed The Chosen One, who according to prophecies, would bring balance to the Force. Darth Sidious corrupted Anakin and they overthrew the Jedi Order by slaughtering most of them. Obi-Wan Kenobi defeated Skywalker in an epic battle and left him close to death. Sidious gave Skywalker a cybernetic body and dubbed him Darth Vader. Ironically, Skywalker did bring balance to the Force by destroying the Jedi. Vader and his son Luke Skywalker killed Sidious.

General Grievous, essentially a droid body with some internal organs, commanded the Droid Army and took orders from Count Dooku. The general didn't have any Force abilities but Dooku trained him in lightsaber techniques. Grievous, with four arms each wielding a lightsaber, was a fierce warrior, an over-confident commander, and a ruthless opponent. The arrogant Grievous, underestimating Obi-Wan's lightsaber skills, died in combat. The Emperor used the knowledge gained in building Grievous' body to construct Darth Vader's suit.

General Hux served under Supreme Leader Snoke in the First Order which rose from the ashes of Palpatine's Galactic Empire. Hux, who was young, ambitious, and constantly fighting Kylo Ren for Snoke's attention, was fiercely loyal and efficient. While Hux was a competent leader, he was short-sighted, arrogant and somewhat childish in his attempts to undermine Kylo Ren.

Grand Admiral Thrawn was one of the greatest military leaders the galaxy has ever known. Thrawn, who gained the Emperor's favor by providing information about the Unknown Regions, quickly moved up the ranks of the Imperial Army through his unorthodox but highly effective tactics. Palpatine was wholly impressed with Thrawn and personally named him Grand Admiral. The blue skinned Thrawn was level-headed, brilliant, polite, and surprisingly compassionate.

Grand Moff Tarkin was a fearless high-ranking officer in the Imperial Army who was the only person who could insult Darth Vader and live to tell about it. Tarkin was extremely loyal to the Empire, arrogant, ambitious, intelligent and dismissive of the Force in general. The Grand Moff apparently had no morals and didn't value life because he carelessly destroyed the planet of Alderaan with the Death Star without a second thought. In a turn of fate, Tarkin died in his Death Star when the Rebel Alliance blew it up.

Jabba the Hutt was a cruel and ruthless gangster that offered a bounty for the capture of the smuggler Han Solo who owed him money. When the Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker and his friends come to save Han, Jabba has the Jedi thrown into a pit with the Rancor beast. Luke kills the beast, Princess Leia strangles Jabba, and all of the heroes escape after defeating Boba Fett and the gangster's other lackeys.

Kylo Ren, a.k.a. Ben Solo, was the grandson of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, a promising Dark Side Force user, and apprentice to Supreme Leader Snoke in the First Order. Ben, the son of Leia Organa and Han Solo, trained under his uncle Master Luke Skywalker as a Jedi until he learned the truth about his grandfather: Anakin was Darth Vader! Ben fell to the Dark Side and took the name Kylo Ren under the tutelage of Snoke. Han Solo tried to pull his son back from the Dark Side but Kylo killed him. Kylo Ren betrayed his master Snoke by cutting him in half with a lightsaber.

Supreme Leader Snoke was the mysterious leader of First Order that rose from the ashes of Palpatine's Empire. Snoke, inspired by the Sith Order teachings, founded the Knights of Ren, seized control of the Empire's remnants, and recruited Ben Solo to the Dark Side dubbing him Kylo Ren. Supreme Leader Snoke was level-headed, calculating, and manipulative in direct contrast to his apprentice Kylo Ren who lost his temper, acted hastily, and lacked subtlety. While Snoke was strong in the Force, he didn't foresee Kylo Ren cutting him in half while sitting on his throne.
