Aurbere Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Sweet! I was actually going to do a tournament style versus series here, as well. I shall watch that tournament's progression with great interest. Edited March 15, 2013 by Aurbere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyKulvax Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Shame it is only T-canon and above though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selenial Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Shame it is only T-canon and above though. T-Canon? And here was me about to cast a vote for Handmaiden Ventress or Tano for me I guess then, or Shak Ti... But who are we kidding? Palpy/Vader/Kenobi/Yoda/Windu/Luke/Leia/Han will be the main contenders, but then again, if you even go to the Star Wars site looking for anything other than game/film movies you have to be versed in some level of EU.... I hope. I take it you'll be casting a vote for Plo Knoon Aubere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurbere Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I take it you'll be casting a vote for Plo Knoon Aubere? He's not there. More sadness. :(:( I'll stick with my man Yoda for this one, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh god, if even aubere is voting for yoda, you know our "little green friend" is gonna decimate the others, except maybe papa palpy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beniboybling Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Don't underestimate the TCW characters. These guys have become immensely popular and are in a chance of winning. And Darth Maul's popularity needs no explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will come down to Palpatine vs. Yoda. And we know how that went down in ROTS so I think Palpatine will eventually win. Of course that relies on factual voting rather than popularity voting (like the Injustice Gods Among Us Battle Arena). Heck, we may see Palps get taken out in the first round. But let's wait and see.

Wolfninjajedi Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) WOW....IG-88 vs Palpatine? Seriously? How one sided is that? Who all knows of who IG-88 is compared to Palps? Edited March 15, 2013 by Wolfninjajedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selenial Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 If Hondo Onaka loses to cad bane I think it's time I leave Star Wars for good.... Ventress and maul will be close, putting wedge and like together was stupid, Luke will devour him... Leia > Padme Vader > grievious Crumb > Jabba Dooku and Tarkin are close, but those not professed in the EU will dislike tarken IMO Palpy> IG-88, I think that's why they're together and like and wedge are... Don't want the big contenders out soon. Yoda and mace is too close to call... Leia > Padme Tano > Rex... At least, these are my guesses.... Idk and Idc about R2-D2 vs C3-PO, though I think r2 would take it, he's just too cute <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point, but even so at least some of the others are at least recognizable compared to IG-88 well...and Dengar. You'd need to look into the EU, to really know those chars which I don't think a huge majority of fans do know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurbere Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Well, I know who I'm voting for. Han Solo to shoot first Obi-Wan to beat Qui-Gon Luke over Wedge Yoda gets a close win over Mace R2-D2 Leia Chewbacca Ahsoka Vader Darth Maul Crumb Cad Bane Boba Fett Jango Fett Dooku Palpatine Gonna be interesting to see if my picks win.

Beniboybling Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 My votes: Han Solo - because he said one of my favourite Star Wars quotes: 'laugh it up fuzzball' Qui-Gon Jinn - defying the Jedi Council is always a good thing. Luke Skywalker - cause you gotta love a hero. Mace Windu - because he's Samuel &%£$@#? Jackson! And Yoda gives terrible advice C-3P0 - gotta love him, and those puns? Golden. Princess Leia - totally digging those cinnamon buns. Chewbacca - raaaghr! Ashoka Tano - she has grown on me. Grievous - a difficult choice, but I know where my loyalties lie. Ventress - another difficult choice, but again I am loyal to Ventress. Jabba the Hutt - cause his laugh beats Crumb's. Cad Bane - lets face it, he's cooler. Boba Fett - because he seethes coolness. Bossk - because voting for both Fetts would be unfair, and I like Trandoshans. Count Dooku - he's a Sith Lord! Need I say more? Emperor Palpatine - because this guy is AWESOME! I just realised, if Ventress gets through she'll go up against Vader, and if Maul wins he'll go up against Vader. Both of those choices will be oh so painful.

Anyone who says "Insolence? We are PIRATES... We don't even know the meaning of the word" cannot be less cool than anyone.... Period.
