Han Solo was way more interesting than Luke Skywalker.
And Darth Vader might be the most interesting of any of them.
Although...is he a secondary character?

A few on my list, with samples scenes.
Jack Nicholson (George Hanson), “Easy Rider”
Robert Shaw (Quint), “Jaws”
Chris Copper (John Laroche), “Adaptation”
OMG, his rumbling voice as he waxes on about America being recreated every few decades with steam rollers, but baseball being the thread that ties every version together, how the years are defined... chills to my spine. So classic.
Does Robin Williams' Genie in Aladdin count?
Matt Damon in "Thor - Ragnarok"...
LOL JK.
Bill Murray in Zombieland.
I met Linda Lavin (Alice) and her then husband Kip Niven once. Lavin can curse up a blue streak that would make a sailor blush.Polly Holliday as Flo on "Alice." Flo got most of the good one-liners ("Kiss my grits!!") in this show. But her own spin-off ("Flo") didn't do so well, only lasting a season and a half, I believe. As with a lot of sit-coms of that era (and this era), it suffered from poor writing/not being funny. "Alice" went on for many years without the wisecracking Flo, but in my opinion, never had the same kick as it did with Holliday in the cast.
When I read about the making of it, I thought it was fascinating how loose the script was and they just relied on the actors' improvisational skills.
From what I understand, the script for the scene where Chevy Chase hits the golf ball into Bill Murray's shack was basically "Chevy Chase hits a ball into Bill Murray's shack". They pretty much improvised that whole scene.
and Jack Nicholson as The Joker in Batman.Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight
Are you talkin' code?Does a Cave of Wonders crumble if you touch anything other than the lamp?
FIFYthat was also the only scene they were in together ever.
