The first round of the Star Wars characters tournament has come to an end!
Typically round 1 is pretty easy. I attempt to seed the entries in the order that I believe will be most popular (occasionally I’m proven wrong, but I’m confident in a good number of them). I mean, while there might be a few rare fans out there, it’s kind of obvious when you have R2-D2 up against L3-37 (who? exactly).
Some of the lesser-known characters or those who just aren’t all that loved will now have been eliminated, which means that Round 2 may give us some more difficult choices!
I do also run the voting through my Instagram stories (@disneyinyourday) so if the results here don’t look like they match up with the blog voting all the time, there’s a reason for that! I tally the Instagram results and the blog results together for the final numbers.
There weren’t too many surprises this time around, though some of the match-ups were closer than I expected. The closest one that surprised me was Moff Gideon vs. Darth Maul, which was close to a tie. I was also surprised to see that Lando beat out Boba Fett! I hate to say it, but I think Boba Fett lost a lot of his “cool” factor when the Book of Boba Fett kinda ruined his character.
I was also shocked to see that Obi-Wan beat Han Solo by quite a margin! I thought Han Solo was a big favorite, but perhaps not as much with my voters.
And there were also a few which I had a feeling would turn out the way they did, but due to my personal favorites I was rooting for a different result. I would have loved to see Fennec Shand beat Ahsoka. And although I love C-3PO, I’m also a huge fan of R-3X. I mean, it’s DJ REX!
Now that we’ve narrowed it down to 16, there are even more difficult choices to be made. I still know how I’m going to vote on most of them, but there are a few that are either tough choices for me or I’m worried they may not make it through the round because I know they aren’t the most “popular” with other people.
A couple in particular that I’m curious to see which way they do include Luke vs. Yoda (two of the most powerful Jedi – will the master be victorious?), Obi-Wan vs. Leia (two great characters), and C-3PO vs. BB-8 (a beloved droid from the original trilogy or the new trilogy?). Only time will tell!
