Vote!

My vote - Lando > Han, Darth > Grevious

tjcaustin · « **Reply #1 on:** Mon, 18 March 2013, 12:30:33 »

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

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #15 on:** Tue, 19 March 2013, 22:14:03 »

Dam Lando got owned. I voted for him too.

Michael · « **Reply #16 on:** Tue, 19 March 2013, 22:18:27 »

I call BS.... Lando should have had that. And what now, Luke vs Wedge? Come on...

Now maybe if they were in a piloting match... but Luke would just cheat using the force...

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.

These are probably the damn Hipster fans who only do starwars stuff cuz they think it's old//vintage//cool..

Star-wars is none of those... it's the future, it's our hopes and dreams, it's so real-life practical that it's uncool...

Damn youngsters

You guys voted Jabba right? He's P. I. M. P.

Michael · « **Reply #20 on:** Wed, 20 March 2013, 13:14:45 »

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 went Wedge>Luke because Luke is only good because of dumb luck and the Force...at least in the movies. Wedge, on the other hand, is a brilliant tactician and awesome pilot, hence why he headed Rogue Squadron.

Everyone will want to see Jango vs Boba, so I think that's an easy guess.

again, pointless battle..

Boba has 96% highest on the board.

final battle is going to be han vs boba or han vs vader

i'm leaning towards han vs vader as more likely

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

Fett escaping is in the EU, so you can choose to ignore it. I do.

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.
