5) Darth Maul

Darth Maul a huge fan favourite despite only appearing in Episode 1. Maul is portrayed Ray Park in the film and never spoke a word but it was his double-ended Light Saber that caught the fans eyes. Darth Maul was the apprentice of Darth Sideous himself before being slain by Obi-Wan using his master's saber (even though he didn't really die). Maul reappeared in the animated series 'the Clone Wars' but never again in a film, Ultimately being killed by Darth Vader.

4) Yoda

Yoda is perhaps the most world known character by people from the world over and star Wars fans of any generation. Yoda was both voiced and puppeteered by Frank Oz who also worked on The Muppets and Sesame Street. Even Warwick Davis was costumed as him for part of Episode 1! Yoda is a Jedi master and mastered some of the most well known Jedi including Mace Windu, Count Dooku and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

3) Chewbacca

Chewbacca is the loveable hairy Wookiee from the original trilogy of the Star Wars Saga. Portrayed by Peter Mayhew in the original trilogy and episode 3 Chewbacca (Chewie) is one of the most lovable characters in the Star Wars universe even though he never speaks...(Any English anyway.) Chewbacca became First Mate to Han Solo at the age of 200 after Solo refused an order as an Imperial Guard to kill Chewie and to repay him decided to protect Solo with his life from there on out.

2) Count Dooku

Count Dooku is the famous Jedi-turned-Sith Lord who appeared in the later 2 films in the prequel trilogy. Dooku was originally trained by Jedi master Yoda and then went on to train Qui-Gon Jinn before being turned to the Dark side by Darth Sideous and given the name 'Darth Tyranus'. Dooku is portrayed by the legendary actor Christopher Lee who has also taken to the music scene by releasing a HEAVY METAL album at the age of 90.....90!

1) Mace Windu

Mace Windu has to be my favourite Star Wars character of all time. I know what you may be saying "But Kai, the prequels were rubbish!" Well it just may be that the prequels weren't as good as the original trilogy but they weren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be. The prequels were the films that were coming out when I was growing up so I have a greater connection to them even though the originals were amazing. Mace Windu is played by the magnificent Samuel L. Jackson and that in itself pretty much gives him first place. I joke but Mace Windu is a Jedi Master along with Yoda and other Jedi, he is one of the 'coolest' Jedi and he has a purple lightsaber. I love purple!

Thinking about buying a gaming chair? Well, there are a few important factors for you to consider before doing so because not all gaming chairs are created the same! The video game chairs are also priced differently, therefore when you are looking for one; ensure you have these tips up your sleeves to allow you find the appropriate one:

• Size

You want a video game chair that you can fit in. The chances are that you might not be the only person who will be using it; therefore, you should consider other people at home who might use the chair. In case you don’t want a chair that will make you strain in resting your arms on the gun stock arm, then you might want to look for a universal size.

• Comfort

The video game chair you choose should be comfortable. You need to know what features will make such a chair comfortable. For instance, you might want to check whether there are any special stuffing that have been included to make the chair comfortable such as reducing back pain or backside numbness. Also, look whether it has swivel properties where you can turn it in different directions. The arms should be able to rest easily on the armrest. Ensure the chair can keep the neck comfortable and support the back.

• Durability

Sometimes, you might end up hitting the chair due to frustrations, or your friends may become rowdy and crowd you up within the chair. Ensure the chair is designed using durable materials.

• Portability

In case you only have limited space, you want to have a chair that you can fold and store it in a corner after gaming. When you want to use it, you just unfold it. This will give you extra space during the time you are not using the chair.

• Complete range of features

In case you are working on a shoestring budget, you can consider doing away with some of the unnecessary features and consider the necessary ones. These include an excellent speaker system, wireless receivers, volume controls, stereo output, and transmitters.

• Assembling

Ensure the chair you are choosing is assembly-friendly. Some may be, and others might not be simple to assemble. It can be irritating to spend hours just figuring out the way to get the chair together.

• Maintenance issues

One thing that many people overlook when they buy the best video gaming chairs for PS and Xbox is the issue of maintenance. Ensure you look for a chair that can be repaired easily and does not cause problems when cleaning it. The seat covers should also be water resistant so that when they are spilled with some fluids, it can be easy to wipe off.

• The warranty

Warranty protects your investment. When you are buying a video game chair online, make sure it has a warranty just in case the mechanism fails to work properly; you can get your money back or have it replaced.

These are some of the things you would want to consider when you are buying a video game chair for PS and Xbox. Ensure the chair meets your budget. You can get a video gaming chair, which is as cheap as some £50 while others can cost up to £500. What are you waiting for? Go get yourself the perfect gaming chair!
