Sting The Number of Major Characters

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> As screenwriters or director, we have to give equal attention to many characters; in this particular trilogy of films, there are 20 major characters....<BR> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>This is PJ from <A HREF="http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/8/1054369145" TARGET=_blank>this article</A>.<P>Immediately this got me thinking about this list. It wasn't hard to make, though I got 23. Either 20 was a ballpark figure or PJ doesn't consider a few of these.<P>1. Frodo<BR>2. Sam<BR>3. Merry<BR>4. Pippin<BR>5. Gandalf<BR>6. Aragorn<BR>7. Legolas<BR>8. Gimli<BR>9. Boromir<BR>10. Bilbo<BR>11. Saruman<BR>12. Arwen<BR>13. Elrond<BR>14. Galadriel<BR>15. Gollum<BR>16. Theoden<BR>17. Eowyn<BR>18. Eomer<BR>19. Treebeard<BR>20. Wormtongue<BR>21. Faramir<BR>22. Denethor<BR>23. Sauron<P>To me this seems quite the list and it got me wondering how it compares to other fantasy films. For example, here's the original Star Wars Trilogy.<P>1. Luke<BR>2. Han<BR>3. Leia<BR>4. C3P0<BR>5. R2D2<BR>6. Darth Vadar<BR>7. Obiwan<BR>8. Chewbaca<BR>9. Yoda<BR>10. Londo<BR>11. Jaba the Hut<BR>12. The Emperor<P>Hopefully, I'm not missing any from either list.<P>Anyway, I'm curious as to how this compares to other films, so if folks want to add their own lists, they should. It may be instructive.<P>H.C.
