I Find Your Lack of Votes Disturbing

I mean, really? Fifteen voters? Maybe I should hire the Obama campaign to get people out to the polls!

Perhaps it was the lack of truly intriguing matchups. I mean, did Chief Chirpa really stand a chance against the mighty Chewbacca?

The first round was virtually all chalk - no Florida Gulf Coast stirring things up here. I kind of expected that Admiral Ackbar might pull an upset, but even he came up short against Emperor Palpatine. The only "upset" was R2-D2 rolling up C-3PO like an old carpet, earning 87% of the votes.

There were a fair amount of blowouts - seven entrants earned 100% of the votes, and 11 of the 16 winners earned 75% or more. We only had a couple of close calls - Uncle Owen edged out Aunt Beru, and of course Palpatine put together a late rally to topple Ackbar.

The second round offers some more thought-provoking matchups. Chewbacca vs. Darth Maul? Boba Fett against Lando Calrissian? Darth Vader or Uncle Owen? Okay, maybe not.

Anyways, have fun. Voting on this round thru Thursday evening and then we'll begin round three on Friday!
