Across all the Star Wars movies, TV shows and other spin-off media there have been a lot of memorable villains – but who is the best (by which we of course mean the worst)? Which foe from far far away still sends a chill down your spine? Which character is stuffed with so much scum and villainy that even Mos Eisley might turn them away?
