"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.
But the "Star Wars" villains that are worthy are some of the best villains and characters ever portrayed on screen, so that makes up for any pitfalls the franchise has in regards to villainy.
Darth Vader is synonymous with "Star Wars" and Kylo Ren has positioned himself as a classic bad guy thanks to a great performance from Adam Driver and an engaging backstory.
With "Solo: A Star Wars Story" coming to theaters soon, Business Insider ranked 30 villains from the "Star Wars" movies.
Below are 30 "Star Wars" movie villains, ranked from worst to best:
30. BB-9E
I don't think I'm alone when I say that I had high expectations for this little evil droid that were shattered by its mere two seconds of screen time in "The Last Jedi."
29. Unkar Plutt
Plutt doesn't do anything of note other than alert the First Order that BB-8 is on Jakku in "The Force Awakens." He's the junk boss of that planet, and is kind of a junk villain — meaning he's easy to throw away.
28. Zam Wessell
Almost anything having to do with "Attack of the Clones" is better left forgotten, including the shape-shifting assassin Zam Wessell. She's not a very good assassin, because she fails to kill Padme, gets captured by Anakin and Obi-Wan, and then is shot by Jango Fett.
