I remember reading a lot of Star Wars novels when I was younger, and I really liked to follow Luke Skywalker and all his adventures. In one trilogy, he started a new Jedi Academy on Yavin IV (I believe) and went out on a search for Jedi potentials out in the galaxy. I liked how he had Ben Kenobi, in spirit, to lean on from time to time, but at the same time had to sort of figure out the Force on his own and develop new techniques for its usage in various adventures. I liked how he was very innovative and used not only the Force but also his own ingenuity and intelligence at the same time, whether it be as a spaceship pilot or creating a makeshift bomb to help him get out of a "anti-Jedi" chamber. I also liked Yoda, especially in the Star Wars movies, mostly because of his sense of humor but also because he was very close to the Force. I always thought of the Force as being like faith and had a spiritual connection with the movies and books I watched and read.
I also really liked Matthew Quigley in Quigley Down Under. He was a master rifleman/marksman and had some great lines like "Don't know where we're goin' but there's no use bein' late," or "Don't know about you but my stomach thinks my throat's been cut." I liked his demeanor and confidence, as well as his compassion towards the Aborigines, and how he wins out in the end against his enemy - showing that he knew full well how to use a pistol and draw it fast - even though he said "Never had much use for one."
