For <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-macho-action-hero/jessica-bedewi" target="_blank">action heroes</a>, a sense of humor is a nice touch, as are wardrobe sensibilities (it takes serious panache to look good in a sweaty, blood &amp; grease stained tank top.)

With&nbsp;Super Smash Bros.&nbsp;officially announced for the Nintendo Switch, fans of the series wasted no time in predicting which characters will be in&nbsp;Super Smash Bros.&nbsp;for the Nintendo Switch.&nbsp;Super Smash Bros.&nbsp;character predictions get harder and harder with each title as Nintendo breaks free of the original &quot;Nintendo-only&quot; rule for the roster. Furthermore, each passing year adds what feels like another 10 classic characters to the Nintendo canon, only further complicating character predictions for Super Smash Bros.&nbsp;By the time the series reached 15 years of age, the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-super-smash-brothers-4-characters/ranker-games" target="_blank">character roster in&nbsp;Super Smash Bros.&nbsp;4</a>&nbsp;featured dozens your favorite standard&nbsp;Smash&nbsp;characters alongside third-party characters like Bayonetta and Cloud Strife. Since the series no longer restricts third-party characters, and there's a wealth of Nintendo characters that have yet to make a&nbsp;Smash&nbsp;appearance, the sky is basically the limit when it comes to&nbsp;Super Smash Bros. Switch&nbsp;roster&nbsp;predictions.&nbsp;That being said, which characters should appear in Super Smash Bros. Switch? Some of the most popular roster predictions for&nbsp;Super Smash Bros. Switch&nbsp;include&nbsp;Waluigi, Shovel Knight, Rayman, and Amaterasu. Other Smash Bros.&nbsp;predictions speculated on the return of previously cut characters such as Squirtle, Dr. Mario, and of course, third-party characters. Will&nbsp;Solid Snake return to&nbsp;Super Smash Bros.? Would Okami in&nbsp;Super Smash Bros. Switch&nbsp;be the right choice? The answer to both questions, hopefully, is yes, but no one will know until the game gets released. When it does, expect it to impact harder than Kirby's DOWN+B.

TV Characters We Love & Hate

List of TV's most memorable characters, of all time, chosen by the Ranker community. What makes a character live on in the public's memory, even years after the original run of their respective TV programs? In some cases, it's the amount of depth that the show's writers, actors and other creators were able to bring to the character over the course of many years. For many of the greatest TV characters of all time, audiences feel like they get to know personalities like Dexter Morgan from &quot;Dexter.&quot; Even after the show leaves the air, they may not want that relationship to end. (Thankfully, they don't have to, as many shows live on for years after their cancellation on DVD and in syndication.) The best TV characters are ones that you feel like you know and that you'd want to be friends with.TV has brought many famous characters to life who have been extremely compelling, even if they are not entirely likeable. Viewers may not wish to know dangerous, shadowy figures like Tony Soprano, Vernon Schillinger, and Omar Little in reality, but following their exploits safely from the comfort of your living room can be appealing. Likewise, people who might be aloof or downright unpleasant in real life - think &quot;Mad Men's&quot; Don Draper or Al Swearengen of &quot;Deadwood&quot; - can prove charming, even admirable, when seen at a distance, with the subtext and intricacy that a top long-running TV show can provide.Who is the greatest TV character ever? This list contains the names of the greatest, most fascinating, and most enduring fictional characters from TV of all time. Be sure to vote for your favorites, and if some of your favorite popular characters aren't represented, go ahead and re-rank the list to contribute to the discussion.

Disney plans to produce Star Wars spin off films every other year, between the core movies in the ongoing saga. With a rabid audience and a large mythology to draw from, Star Wars movies will be hitting a multiplex near you until the sun explodes and destroys us all. Maybe even after that; all that remains of the world as we know it will be cockroaches, Twinkies, and Star Wars movies. But which&nbsp;Star Wars characters will end up in standalone movies? Who is deserving of these Star Wars spin offs? Should they make films of the classic core characters? We know we're getting a solo Han movie, but maybe Leia too? Should filmmakers explore the backstory of some of the supporting classic characters? How about the very obscure? How did Salacious Crumb end up bro-ing out with Jabba? Maybe Greedo deserves a movie to tell his side of who shot first?And that's only the original trilogy. The Force Awakens and the prequels are dense with Star Wars spin off potential as well. Just imagine a dashing Poe Dameron adventure or even a Citizen Kane-style epic chronicling Boss Nass's brutal rise to power in Gungan politics. But it's not up to us to decide who's worthy, it up to you! Vote up the characters you most want to see in a spin off film!

The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-star-wars-movie" target="_blank">Star Wars</a> universe is crazy dangerous. There are just so many <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-worst-ways-to-die?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">ways to die</a> in that place. With giant man-eating creatures around every turn, blasters that can kill in one shot, lightsabers, and the power of the Force, Star Wars death scenes&nbsp;abound. Some you&#39;re okay with - one fewer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/funny-star-wars-stormtroopers/whitneysmoore" target="_blank">Stormtrooper</a> to get past isn&#39;t a bad thing for our heroes - but then there are the tragic scenes you&#39;ll find on this list of sad Star Wars deaths, the ones that make you feel the feels.

From broken hearts to betrayal by family members, lightsaber duels to old age, the saddest Star Wars character deaths come in many forms.

In a galaxy with lightsabers and clone armies, it&#39;s easy to underestimate the power of the Force. It has flowed through the bodies of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ranking-the-most-powerful-star-wars-characters/musicmovieminecraftme-123hd?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">most powerful Jedi</a> and strongest Sith, granting them immense power and a connection to something much larger than themselves. Some warriors choose to follow the light side of the Force, using their abilities to ensure peace and justice throughout the galaxy. Those who <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/jedi-who-turned-to-the-dark-side/john-saavedra" target="_blank">follow the dark side</a> instead choose to corrupt the Force, bending it to their will and harnessing it to further their rage and ambitions for power as the most powerful Sith lord in the galaxy.&nbsp;

The Force has blessed beings of countless species over countless millennia with great power, but who is the most powerful of them all? Let&#39;s say that all Force users are trapped in the Petranaki arena until there&#39;s only&nbsp;one person left, who would be the last one standing?&nbsp;

A bounty hunter. A child. Stormtroopers and Jawas and TIE fighters and Twi'leks and droids. Season 2 of 'The Mandalorian' is now streaming on Disney Plus.

This Is the Way

When the plot of The Mandalorian&nbsp;shifted from episodic adventure to an ongoing quest to return&nbsp;young Grogu, better known as &ldquo;Baby Yoda,&quot; to his people, fans were left with lots of questions, chief among them, &quot;Are there many Jedi still alive to take him?&quot;&nbsp;Unfortunately, given&nbsp;The Mandalorian&#39;s timeframe, there just aren&rsquo;t that many former Jedi roaming the galaxy&nbsp;to step into the role of mentor, especially after Ahsoka Tano&nbsp;turned the job down to track down Grand Admiral Thrawn.

The number of Jedi still out there after Order 66 and the subsequent purge is slim, especially when considering only <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/why-clone-wars-is-best-star-wars-since-empire/joedonley" target="_blank">the new, official Disney canon</a>. Previously, the Star Wars Expanded Universe included <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-jedi-characters/ranker-entertainment" target="_blank">so many surviving Jedi</a> that one seriously questioned the effectiveness of Order 66,&nbsp;but now, the list is down to around a dozen, and the number willing to take in Grogu is dwindling by the episode.

Which Jedi Are Still Around In The Time Of 'The Mandalorian'?

The Star Wars saga has been providing the world with groundbreaking&nbsp;special effects, mesmerizing action, and deep mythology since 1977. With The Rise of Skywalker just a few months away,&nbsp;we thought now&nbsp;was a great time to rank&nbsp;the universe&rsquo;s greatest Jedi Masters.

From Luke and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-yoda-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">Yoda</a> to Rey and Quinlan Vos, this list ranks all the Jedi characters in the Star Wars universe - not just the blockbuster movies. Whether you&#39;re all in on the Jedi saving the galaxy by using the Force for good, or you were that one kid who loved his red lightsaber and wanted to be Darth Vader, you still can&#39;t argue that the most famous Jedi characters from Star Wars are usually great heroes that are worthy of saving the galaxy.

So let&#39;s get our blasters ready, prepare our arguments for whether or not Han shot first, and vote up the best Jedi characters in the Star Wars universe.

One of the most difficult things to do in fiction is to give a great character a truly memorable last line. Whatever dialogue they utter as they leave the screen forever, it has to be poignant and relevant to both the character and the situation in which they find themselves. It&#39;s not easy, and most final utterances are delivered without much gravitas.

Then, there&#39;s the&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;film franchise, which features some of the most quotable dialogue in all of film history. In addition to some often-uttered catchphrases like, &quot;May the Force be with you&quot; and others, some of the characters&#39; last words stand as quotable while being some of the saddest and most memorable.

This list compiles all the greatest final lines of some of the most important characters in the franchise. Find the one you like best, and don&#39;t forget to vote it up and&nbsp;hopefully see it rise to the top!

There are a bunch of movies that feature teachers prominently. In most movies, teachers are a nameless bunch who often times lurk in the background and don&#39;t play much of a role in shaping the plot line. The fictional teachers on this list are different. They play prominent roles in the movies they are in and their teaching and mentoring of the characters is an integral part of the movie. Whenever Robin Williams is sporting a thick beard, he is playing a serious role. Playing the parts of John Keating in Dead Poets Society and Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting, Williams thrived as these characters and they are considered two of the best fictional <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-teacher-characters-in-film/ranker-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">teachers in movies</a>.

Though he&#39;s not a teacher in the traditional sense, Mr. Miyagi proved to be one of the greatest mentors in movie history. He taught Daniel LaRusso (and later Julie Pierce) discipline and how to outsmart and outthink his opponents. On the opposite end of the spectrum is Dewey Finn, played by Jack Black in School of Rock. Not a teacher by trade, Finn taught his class of 10-year-olds life lessons and how to play rock music and by the end of the film, learned a thing or two about himself.

Vote for the teach you think is the best fictional teacher. If there is anyone missing from this list, feel free to add them.

What is it about aliens that makes them such good super heroes? Is it because it's so easy to give them super powers? Is it that they view our world with an outside perspective that lets us view our morality with fresh eyes? Whatever it is, the best alien superheroes have become a huge part of our popular culture. The most iconic of their ranks, Superman, was created as the embodiment of America at the turn of the last country. He was a refugee from a far-away land who grew up to hold dear all the ideals that America&nbsp;offered the world. It was a statement about ourselves and America's place in the world.Soon, Superman wasn't the only the alien superhero in our cosmic neighborhood. The <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-every-power-ring-represents/aaron-edwards?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Green Lantern Corps</a> alone is one of the most diverse institutions in comics, to the point where it features an alien squirrel who can kick butt with the best of them. The <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/dark-gotg-moments-changed-for-the-movies/stephanroget?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Guardians of the Galaxy</a> are some of the strangest characters out there, but they're also some of the most sympathetic. Alien characters let comics move away from Earth-based stories into something more colorful and ultimately more original. After all, there are only so many human characters you can have before red skinned aliens who vomit blood start to find an audience.But even with all the strange physical and cultural quirks, many of these alien superheroes are extremely relatable. After all, Kilowog is just another drill sergeant with a heart of gold. Silver Surfer is filled with guilt and self-loathing over what could be considered the worst job ever. Even Supergirl lives in the shadow of a famous relative and has to constantly prove her worth to the world. Heck, Mar-Vell developed cancer in one of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-controversial-songs-ever/sean-kelly?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the most controversial</a> stories in all of comics.Just because you have super powers doesn't mean you're immune to emotional strife. And at the end of the day, that's why we love these characters.

The best movie mentors are typically wise, mysterious, and moments away from perishing, yet can still kick incredible amounts of butt. Whether it&#39;s Yoda stepping in to confront Count Dooku&nbsp;or Professor McGonagall finally deciding enough is enough, when these characters enter the fray, everyone stops and pays attention.
