BEFORE I list my fav's here, I have to say that Madden821 hit the nail on the head w/ his last post, so I'm not going into details about my problems w/ Boba Fett....
1.) DARTH MAUL - I was actually WAITING for a Sith Lord that I really loved - as a kid, I was only so-so impressed w/ Vader - he constantly grew on me and then shrank, and I started to think the mysterious Palpatine was cooler, but when MAUL came along I was impressed, and he reminded me of the EU feel, which I liked a lot. Hardcore before the "Dark Times"...
2.) GRIEVOUS - I wasn't so big on him at first, but after I read the backstory, and found that he had 1.) kicked ass until he was injured by Windu, and 2.) changed his own name to Grievous to embody his wrath (instead of one of those "isn't it ironic that my name is Grievous, and I'm also a terrible villain?"). I thought George had pulled one of THOSE at first...
3.) PALPATINE - that's right, I'm a Palps fan...
4.) BOBA FETT - what? Fett above Vader?!*)! What blasphemy is this*$&(!!
???
5.) VADER - being a Sith fan, I loved Vader in Ep. V, but George slowly made his character more and more human and less frightening to me, so, like BOBA FETT, he killed his appeal - worst of all, I pitied Vader a LOT, and I prefer not to pity my villains to the extent I did Vader (for instance, I pity Grievous for his horrible past and Maul for being forced into Palpatine's service as a child, but if they knew that, they'd kill me... if VADER found out, I feel like he'd wanna talk about it and be best friends...
)

It's funny that the less Lucas liked someone, the more I did... but that has its reasons - see, in order for George to like one of his own villains, they have to be just poor adolscents who got caught up with the wrong crowd (VADER and BOBA, in other words...) - even JANGO was pretty human to me, and in some strange way and anti-villain father figure
confused
. I enjoy a villain I can understand on a personal level (vengeance, anger, self-hatred, depression, getting screwed by the entire universe...), but I prefer one like Asajj Ventress, where if she knows you pity her, she hates you even MORE for it.
I can see Vader and Boba crying on each others' shoulders, and that gives me gas...
Oh, and my favorite Jedi is QUI-GON JINN - I love Liam Neelson, and Qui-Gon's character really appealed to me - so I was tense in my seat, just waiting for Maul to stab him - that saber fight changed my life...
So he's #6.) Respectively.
I also like GREEDO for some reason, and PORKINS makes me happy
