The Star Wars Heroes Most Likely To Survive Predator

Any Jedi (or Sith or otherwise Force sensitive character) from Star Wars who was doing what they were supposed to do would have a better chance than most at surviving a Predator encounter. As long as they were paying attention to their surroundings, that cloaking device wouldn’t be much of an advantage against them.

So I could literally just list every Jedi and Sith ever, but I’m going to single out Yoda for the same reason Luke Skywalker initially had no idea who he was dealing with in The Empire Strikes Back—because Yoda’s size and advanced age would initially make him appear unworthy as a target to a Predator, and he’d play that up as much as he could.

It depends on the specific Star Wars situation, but say a Predator showed up on Dagobah looking for prey—Yoda would know they were there almost as soon as they arrived, and he’d sense their intentions. He’d know exactly where the hunter was, and he’d make sure the Predator saw him acting like a helpless, crazy old man.

The Star Wars icon certainly could kill the Predator if he chose to, but he might not even bother. Unless there was someone else intelligent nearby at the time the hunter could threaten, Yoda might just let the guy hunt for bigger prey and leave him alone entirely.

Arguably the most popular new Star Wars hero of any of the Disney+ original series, I’m fairly certain Din Djarin would survive an encounter with Predator, and it really comes down to one word—Beskar.

Ever since Din Djarin reclaimed enough Beskar from the Empire for the Armorer to grant him spiffy new armor, the guy’s barely ever had to even duck during a fight. We’ve watched him survive who knows how many firefights because blasters and other weapons failed to penetrate his armor.

Now, I don’t know how Star Wars blasters rate next to Predator energy weapons, but I’m willing to bet Din Djarin’s armor would at least allow him to survive the alien hunter’s initial attack, and that’s all it would need to do. Once the hunter made his first attack and failed, Din Djarin would track the crab-face down and make him pay.

Star Wars’ greatest pilot, Han Solo would survive the Predator because that’s what he does—he survives. Yeah, I know, he didn’t survive Kylo Ren, but no matter how many mp3 files Predator has stored in his helmet, he’s not going to get Han to think he’s his estranged son, so he can lure him onto a catwalk and gut him.

Seriously—that’s what Han Solo does. He survives. As much as he wants to be the guy who gets rich quick, he’s really the guy who survives just about whatever the galaxy can throw at him.

He would’ve survived The Force Awakens if the potential of saving his own son didn’t make him do what no Star Wars character should ever do—enter a room with a narrow catwalk over a bottomless pit. Never ends well.

I hate including Jar Jar here more than you may potentially hate seeing him here. While I hate everything Ahmed Best went through, I have to admit I still can’t stand this character. And believe me, there are so many ridiculous conspiracy theories I would be willing to humor before I would ever sign on to the “Jar Jar is secretly a Sith lord” theory.

But Star Wars’ lamest clown absolutely would survive a Predator attack and if you disagree you just aren’t paying attention. He would survive and he might even be the dude to kill the hunter.

If the Predator ever tried to stab him or shoot at him, Jar Jar would just happen to be ducking down to look at something on the ground. Everyone else around him would be eviscerated but he would be fine.

He’d probably trip on a tree root which would lead to a series of 15 different accidents—ending with a Star Destroyer landing on Predator’s head.

That’s right. I said what I said. Wicket the Ewok, from the third ever Star Wars film, would own the Predator.

Wicket is the first Ewok to find one of the rebels, and when he does, he’s the first one to sense the approach of the Imperials. Wicket would sense the Predator—cloak or no cloak—and he’d be ready for him.

And did you see what happened once the Ewoks joined the battle against the Empire? Those guys had so many booby traps set up in no time. Wicket would sense the Predator, set up traps for him, and end that jerk.

Wicket ain’t got time to bleed.
