So, basically (as is already obvious)the only available options are you like them... dislike them...
Or maybe, you are indifferent to them mostly. Because anything stronger than saying you dislike a character is too strong a word.
Just like if you dislike one of the films. Saying that you dislike one or two ( or 5) is fine. But anything more is too strong of a word. For example, let's say when the phantom menace came out. You thought jar jar binks was a stupid character. And the wrost sw character up until that point. So you can say, you dislike him.

Original Trilogy
Like:
Basically all of them, but to name a few.
Luke: An admirable idealist who sticks to his beliefs not matter what he experienced throughout the trilogy.
Leia: A determined freedom fighter who is far from the Damsel in Distress stereotype
Han: A relatable cynic who makes a journey from anti-hero to hero.
Dislike:
Boba Fett: I don't really dislike him, but he never left much of an impression on me. I am honestly fine with his "death" in Return of the Jedi. Though I suppose a showdown between him and Han on Endor would have been cool.
Prequel Trilogy
Like:
Qui-Gon Jinn - I liked his willingness to bend the rules when need be, especially in contrast to the ideological rigidity of the rest of the Jedi.
Obi-Wan Kenobi - A believable expansion from the OT character. It was enjoyable to see him in all stages of his training(Padawan/Knight/Master)
Dislike:
Jar Jar Binks: Way too cartoonish of a character.
Sequel Trilogy
Like:
Finn - A relatable every man character and the only one who truly goes through on ark over the course of the trilogy. It is unfortunate how little he had to do in The Rise of Skywalker.
Kylo Ren - An original take on a dark sider, being powerful yet emotionally unstable is an nice contrast to the controlled Vader/Sidious/Dooku/etc. It was also interestng to see how Anakin/Vader's dark legacy continued to haunt his family.
Dislike:
Holdo - A very aggravating character. Constantly demeaning Poe even though he is making very reasonable requests of her. The fact that she is portrayed as being totally in the right in the end is further annoying.

I like Watto. He had character and was somewhat multi-dimensional. Plus his design was cool.
If Watto travelled with the group, he would have been better than Jar Jar or even the gay robots.

Aside from the obvious? Greedo, Jabba, Boba, Palpatine, never took to Lando Calrissian.

Dislike: Han Solo. He's always sucked. Not funny or interesting.

Sure, a guy sticks a blaster in your face and you're just supposed to go along quietly.

I don't remember Han sticking a blaster in Creedo's face?

Never liked C3PO or R2D2. I read somewhere that they were based on two characters from a Japanese film called The Hidden Fortress. I watched that some years after Star Wars and decided that the two robots were slightly more tolerable. Frick and Frack characters always annoy me.

Poe disobeyed orders and wasted all the Resistance bombers just to take out one First Order ship. He then openly feuded with a superior. He then tried to save an insurrection. Some people will say that she should have just told him the plan, but if you remember that they were in a precarious situation and that one would understandably want as few people as possible to know the secret plan to prevent leaks and thwart potential spies, the "just tell everyone who doesn't trust you the secret plan" idea seems pretty bad. |

True but I've only seen the original trilogy, and more and more often it becomes apparent that's the only Star Wars WORTH watching.

I disliked Anakin from Ep 2 and 3. Such a whiny little git. That said, I still like him more than Kylo Ren. Kylo Ren is like a whinier, more emo version of Anakin.
I don't exactly dislike Rey but I just find her too boring.
Jar Jar was irritating but I think dislike is too strong a word.
Holdo I really dislike. She has the worst traits you'd ever want to have in a commanding officer/manager.

I am afraid I have to disagree back. I agree that Poe wasn't in the right when defying orders at the start of the film. But when the pursuit began and Holdo took command, he approached her with an even temper and good faith, which Holdo responded to with antagonism and condescension. She made no attempt at any time to understand Poe's position or attempt to work with him in whatever limited capacity that may be. Also, in the end Poe didn't even want to know what the plan was, he just wanted to know that there was a plan. Which I find quite reasonable considering they had been spending hours watching their comrades being vaporized. Should a leader not reassure those under her that they won't share the same fate? With that in mind, you mentioned Holdo wanting to prevent potential spies, why shouldn't Poe have similar worries about Holdo? Especially considering their desperate situation. It is also consider that, just days prior, Poe destroyed Starkiller Base. If there is anyone who's loyalty to the Resistance is without question it should be Poe. To reiterate, I am not arguing that Poe was totally in the right, but neither was Holdo. Her entire attitude seemed to be that everyone needed to unquestioningly follow her orders despite everything falling apart around them. While there is a time for that, there is also a time when a leader needs to inspire confidence in her troops, which she never even attempted to do.
