Luke or Leia. Princess Leia of course. She is a princess and a senator with a reservoir of sarcasm much powerful than the Force. Take a look at their experience in Jabba the Hutt’s Palace (Jabba Desilijic Tiure for hardcore fans). Disguised as Ubese bounty hunter Boushh and armed with a detonator, Leia entered the Palace with Chewbacca as her fake hostage. Even the notorious Bobba Fett noticed her. Meanwhile, Luke can ONLY Jedi mind trick Bib Fortuna and no one else. He scored a trip to the Rancor pound instead of a successful bargain like her sister. True, the Princess was apprehended when she unfroze Han Solo but remember she kissed his man despite POSSIBLY THE WORST CASE OF MORNING BREATH EVER. Luke was cuffed as he was about to face the Sarlacc but Leia was tied to Jabba in a fabulous slave bikini. Sure, Luke was fantastic in his Sarlacc Pit battle sequence but he had ample assistance from R2-D2 while Leia is all alone in her little throttle action contra Jabba. Leia is indeed the better Jedi heir. VADER’S LITTLE PRINCESS is funnier than DARTH VADER AND SON but STILL ENOUGH to elicit chuckles from fans (and Darth Maul references made it better).
NUMBER FIVE: MY SWEET DARK LORD
PERSONAL TAKE: The Dark Lord is capable of aww shucks moments.
NUMBER FOUR: LISTEN TO YOUR DAD
PERSONAL TAKE: No awesome kid deserves a Jar Jar Binks plushie. Leia is indeed cooler than his brother. Jar Jar?! Stuffed Tusken Rider is a better choice.
NUMBER THREE: JEDI MIND TICKLES
PERSONAL TAKE: We first realized the power of the Force when Darth Vader Force-chocked Admiral Motti. The Force in the hands of a Sith is killer mechanism but to use it to tickle little Luke? Priceless.
NUMBER TWO: DRAW ME SOMETHING GOOD
PERSONAL TAKE: DARTH MAUL ALWAYS GETS MY VOTE AND AN ALL-CAPS APPROVAL.
NUMBER ONE: LUKE, I AM YOUR FATHER
PERSONAL TAKE: The most iconic moment in the entire series receives an adorable treatment,
