3. Watto

Watto, the junk dealer from The Phantom Menace, left a problematic impression. His portrayal as a greedy trader with a distinctive accent sparked criticism for perpetuating cultural stereotypes. While Star Wars is known for its diverse alien species, Watto’s depiction felt more offensive than creative. A more nuanced characterization, perhaps showing his motivations or backstory, could have made him a compelling part of Anakin’s journey.
