My vote - Lando > Han, Darth > Grevious

The only upset I see in this will be because of how they made their brackets. Han and Luke in the same quad? That's silly.

Right, but that should be a semi-final, not quarterfinal. To be honest, they loaded the crap out of that group in general. They did the dark side rankings and pairings well, but it's like they gave up on the light side.

How does Light A have Han, Lando, Obi-Wan, Luke, Obi-Wan, Yoda and Mace, but B have stellar people like Wicket, Captain Rex and Ahsoka? It's almost like they're trying to make people see a Semi-Final between Han and Chewie/Vader and Emperor.

Oh god, I made a spreadsheet...https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AogGyDQAChFrdDhNTFFWdXAzUmJqd1NyQjVWZWxveEE&usp=sharing

Column A is rankings 1-6, column C is proper March Madness style pairings. There's still the chance for upset in the first round, but the rest are where they belong.

That's the point of rankings. Would you care to see the landslides now or in quarterfinal matches?

And I just realized, they aren't trying for a han/chewy semi, but a han/chewy final.

I just wanted to say that IG-88 is a total badass, even though he likely won't get far due to fandom. Also, Dengar saved Boba's life from the Sarlacc so why would they fight? My vote would be for Kyp Durron in the Sun Crusher, but he's not on the list

Didn't IG-88 outsmart Boba a few times. Those are two who should be head to head.

And all these tangential characters, yet no Xizor or Thrawn.

I voted Wedge over Luke. If we are talking pure flying skills (minus cheating with the force), Wedge is the clear winner. Although I am sure that isn't how the voting will go down, shame really.

Salacious Crumb is quite sneaky. Jabba moves too slow to be able to counter.

I'm not too sure about that. First, all the bad guys are dead at the end of ep6. Bringing them back, unless they come up with a nice scenario, would be silly.
Then, if they decide to do a prequel, at least half the good guys are not even born yet.
But I might be wrong here...

Anyway, FWIW, I'd be really glad if the could come up with some movies about the dark side roots, back in the days

Cpt Obvious, yea of course most of them are. Boba wouldn't have the same 96% vs more popular characters like vader.

It's either going to be Yoda vs Vader, or possibly Han vs Vader or Boba. Based on popularity, that's really the only way this is going to end up.

I am interested in Chewie vs Wicket. As both are equally great in battle. That would be pretty badass if they used AD&D ruleset to decide the winners here

Anyway. Star Wars was a long long time ago, so unless they invented time travel (god forbid), he would be dead by now in either case.

palpatine hands down. Dooku was planned dead from the start, and he walked right into it. At least palpatine only got killed because he was betrayed, and that's after ruling the galactic republic for 30-odd years

R2 hacked into the mainframe of the death star and turned off the garbage disposal, saving Han, Leia, Chewie and Luke.

Boba Fett (accidentally) got hit with a stick because he let a half blind han solo stand a foot behind him for no discernible reason, and flew himself into the side of a barge, then proceeded to roll into the Sarlacc pit.

You're right, Artoo is way more badass.

Michael · « **Reply #87 on:** Tue, 02 April 2013, 13:33:34 »

Unfortunately, R2 is vulnerable to circuitry damage. So if it came down to Palpatine vs R2 - one lighting shot would end it quickly.

Also, pretty much any blaster fire. As long as Boba doesn't derp and fall into some pit, I think he would take R2 pretty easy.

vader might walk into the fight and throw the emperor into the death star core. Besides, it seems like (artoo) only gets disabled from electrical shocks, not actually fully damaged and in need of new parts. Some nanobot repair sorcery, who knows, who cares. They could throw one line of dialogue in to explain it, "Thank god artoo has the whatever machine installed."

I vaguely remember he needed a "repair" in one of the prequels after all his buddies got their asses shot off on the outside of that senate ship while attempting to repair (the hyperdrive?) or something. Maybe amidala gave him an upgrade.

Michael · « **Reply #90 on:** Tue, 02 April 2013, 15:21:58 »

R2 would be heavily reliant upon his surroundings, since he doesn't directly have the capability to fight. So essentially, he interfaced with the Death Star to make things happen in his favor. He wouldn't stand a chance in a bare arena 1v1.

I think he's fired a blaster before in some of the comics. I honestly don't know if it was canon or not, but it would make sense that he has a little manipulative arm that could hold/fire a handheld blaster. It would be hard to repair things that were designed to be serviced by humans without having some sort of hand analogue.

In any case, I think we're skewing the idea of this match-up. It's all a popularity contest, not a "who would win in a 1v1 deathmatch".

1v1 deathmatch

This is what it should be, imo. So basically, each contestant has a set of stats, similar to AD&D ruleset. Votes would add to specific die rolls - but it would still all rely on die rolls, mostly.

And obviously, some characters would have higher stats than others. A very high vote percentage could make the underdog come out a winner.

yoda will spank obi, it'll be artoo or yoda vs Vader. If somehow obi beats yoda (not gonna happen, but a what if scenario) then artoo is a shoe-in.

I personally want to see artoo vs Vader for the simple fact of how ludacris that fight would be, but I think there's a good chance that Yoda will take it.

Internetlad · « **Reply #117 on:** Fri, 05 April 2013, 14:16:07 »

I was surprised chewie edged in so close to artoo.

I guarantee vader will beat boba. If it was boba vs either yoda or artoo in the finals, boba would be going down there too.

Look at the brackets fett has been in so far. Jengar (who?) Jango (basically the same guy except the prequel version, and he didn't fly himself into the sarlacc pit.) and the emperor (who he beat by the slimmest margin thus far, 53% to 47%)

no way fett's going to the finals, vader mops the floor with him in every regard. I think it was a given that the top bracket is supposed to beat the bottom bracket (obi, Yoda, Han, Luke all on top, leia, droids, clone wars cartoon characters on bottom) but I'm thinking artoo has a decent chance. it'll be less than 40%-60% win or lose on the light side. I think there will be a much wider spread with vader/boba.
