Radio Times asked Star Wars fans across the UK to vote for their favourite Star Wars villain, and the final result saw a resounding victory for the dark lord of the sith Darth Vader as he romped away with 33% of the total vote, which saw north of 10,000 votes cast.

It makes for an illuminating list, with perennial chart topper Vader winning but Boba Fett, often running closely behind, down to 6%, perhaps in view of his heroic return in The Mandalorian. Moff Gideon on 4% steps in ahead of Kylo Ren on 3% while Grand Admiral Thrawn, yet to appear in live action but mentioned by Ahsoka in The Jedi is in 3rd position with 6%. Star Wars Rebels is represented by the Grand Inquisitor on 2% as Captain Phasma joins Kylo Ren from the Sequel trilogy on 2% and the master of Maclunkey Greedo comes in 7th on 4%.
