I don't know if this has been mentioned in another thread, but this is hilarious.

I just like to see the OT characters in pop culture again.  Feels like 1995 all over again!

Yeah I stumbled on that Vader video the other day and was immediately depressed. Though I do LOVE that they used the ANH Vader. Hopefully that suit gets more use and we can forget about the ROTS variant....

Han v Vader in the finals, with Han to win by a nose. 

There's my prediction!

I'm hoping for Luke vs. Vader, with Luke eking out a narrow victory.

- I've been waiting for you, Han Solo.
- Yes, I'll bet you have...

Would be a pretty short duel. :)

Let us not forget what actually happened when Han did shoot first at Vader.

Yep, but that time his aim was a bit "off":

He is taking a leaf out of Luke's book and listening to Ben.

He isn't trusting his eyes and bending the beam with his latent Force powers.

*Sigh* So Obi-Wan beat out Han, and freaking Yoda beat out Luke (by a sizable margin, too).

Screw this.

^It's taco time!

But otherwise, that really is pretty dumb.

I think that was part of the save Clone Wars campaign. (They were rallying people to vote for those characters). Even though Clone wars Yoda seems like a real dick from what I've seen.

All I care about in this thread is what the heck happened with Trooperman.  I should make a bracket with entrants like "sock," "went crazy," and "body snatched."

Voted all original trilogy characters every time and obviously that's not what's popular anymore. Don't even know who the hell those cartoon characters are :/

Baronlando is right. The whole thing is completely skewed by the Save the Clone Wars campaign (which honestly I'm in favor of). The timing is poor. If they'd held the vote at a different time or waited to tell everyone the show was cancelled, I guarantee OT characters would be winning.

Glancing over the voting results thus far, it seems "This is Madness" was an appropriate title for the tournament after all.
