I don't know, but there are anime, videogames and comic book characters with the same name, not all of them based on the champion of the myth.

Khan Noonien Singh
Strider/Aragorn
Darth Vader
Malcolm Reynolds
Dr. Perry Cox (from Scrubs)
Indiana Jones
Rick Blaine (from Casablanca, my all-time favorite movie)

It's been great reading everybody's lists, too.

Excellent job at finding the definitive Vader pic.

Excellent job at finding the definitive Vader pic.

The Vader that is being portrayed by Disney still has thoughts and feelings for his past as Anakin Skywalker. He remembers everything now. Padme, Luke, C-3PO. Even though that is not a "canon" Vader, it still is my favorite picture of him and how I interpret the character. Even if a good chunk of people do not like that picture.

Picture lists are cool but you guys have to at least say who they are what it's from I'm sitting here now thinking about a Nunnery Swimming pool for godsake but I have no idea why?!?!

I'm so happy to read that because if that's the case, Disney feels the same way I do about Vader. I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan, but I've been reading some Vader books, and I think he has the best descent into villain that I've ever read. What I love about him, is that everything was so gradual, even after he donned the costume. He didn't just become Darth Vader. He went from a to b to c to d to e.....all the way to z. He ruined a couple of my favorite fictional characters. I would have put him as my number one, but the only thing that's holding me back is that I love martial artists to much, and since I work out every day, characters that push their physical limits really appeal to me. Darth Vader can't because of his unfortunate state, but that adds to him being a great character!

Anyways, I love that picture! I wish I could come up with one better, but I think it perfectly captures what I love about Vader too! Would you recommend reading anything Obi-wan related? He's the only character that intrigued me outside of Vader. Well, actually, Yoda appeals to me as well. I kind of like to see the Star Wars story as his down-fall for setting up such cold-dogmatic ways.

I agree with all this.

As far as Obi Wan, there are a few books. Of course these are all now considered "legends" and not canon, but it still doesn't take away the enjoyment of reading them. I guess it just depends on what time period you want to focus on. Here is a list of what I can remember off the top of my head. I enjoyed all of these.

- The Cloak of Deception (before TPM)
- Jedi Apprentice is a young readers series that follows Obi-Wan Kenobi's journey as a padawan (before TPM)
- Rogue Planet (after TPM)
- The Approaching Storm (between TPM and AOTC)
- The Cestus Deception (Clone Wars)
- Clone Wars Stealth (Clone Wars)
- Clone Wars Siege (Clone Wars
- Clone Wars Wild Space (Clone Wars)
- Labyrinth of Evil (before ROTS)
- The Last of the Jedi is a young readers that Kenobi appears in. (After ROTS)
- Kenobi, which is in my sig (between ROTS and ANH)

There is also a new comic series that stars Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker that takes place between TPM and AOTC.

For Yoda, he has a novel called Yoda: Dark Rendezvous which is set during the Clone Wars.

Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to list out the chronology for me! I really appreciate it. Looks like I have a lot of reading to do! It makes the wait for Rogue One and Episode VII a heck of a lot easier. Although, I actually enjoyed the books I read far more than the movies, so either way, it looks like I'm in for a treat!
