"Star Wars" villains seem to generally fall into four categories: droids, weird-looking aliens, bounty hunters, or people with cool capes.

A lot of them are more cool-looking than they are actually compelling villains. Boba Fett, for instance, is a popular villain, but his costume is better than he actually is, at least by movie standards.

I know there's a whole expanded universe of TV, books, and comics. But when looking at the movies alone, there are only a handful of "Star Wars" villains who are truly worthy.

"Supreme Leader" Snoke didn't do anything worthwhile on screen and the most notable thing Count Dooku ever did was get his head sliced off.
