The most courageous character in movie history? - Blu-ray Forum

Ray Jackson · 12-01-2015, 01:53 AM

Porkins...from Star Wars.

Long after any normal man would've abandoned his post and run for the star-scattered hills of deep space, Porkins simply refused to allow fear to prevent him from doing his duty.

He was going to cover his man until the bitter end...no matter the cost.

Would there even be a Republic without the heroic actions of this great man?

Even today, I still find myself believing he can hold it.

That somehow, some way...he can hold it.

...I don't think I've truly recovered from Porkins' death.

God bless you Porkins.

We honor your sacrifice.

...and we will never forget.

There were quite a few rebels who died defending the galaxy from the Empire and their soldiers, not sure why Porkins got singled out.

Wilson from Castaway...

How dare you.

What do you know about anything?

...did you ever serve your republic?

It wasn't our galaxy and it was a long time ago so who gives a crap?

How do you know it wasn't our galaxy?

...maybe Earth was a little known planet in the Tatoo system.

It's a little known fact that Star Wars took place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. They should have made that more clear.

Cameron Frye (Alan Ruck) in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, because he decides to wreck his father's precious Ferrari and take a stand against his father at long last.

Every villain's henchman ever.

History has shown that they're cannon fodder and almost certainly going to die, yet they soldier on.

Let's hear it for the minions, henchmen, lackeys, and acolytes that literally give all they have to get our favorite villains to the final reel!
