you should do one where we claim not our favorite but which one wins in a fight.

but you would need to do small, capitol and big/Stations categories.

Although I suspect X wing or Millennium Falcon would still win small ship one.

I'm pretty sure small ships still win the overall contest. Let's look at the record, shall we?

• X-Wing beats death star twice.
• A Wing beats super star destroyer.
• Y-Wings beat Star Destroyer.
• Naboo fighter kills droid control ship.
• Multiple Star Destroyers can't beat the Millennium Falcon who isn't even shooting back.
• Milano takes out the Dark Aster
• Gunstar beats the Konan Command Ship. Hell, the command ship can't even properly ram the Gunstar.

And that's all I have off the top of my head.

I guess the principle is that if you're a good guy, it's not the size that counts. It's how they use it.

True, but both Enterprises would blow the x wing and the Falcon apart.

If there is any justice the final is x-wing v the original 1701. And then the pants off dance off fight between the Falcon and the Enterprise. The two most iconic ships going.

This elite 8 is awesome due to the matchups. I don't agree with all 8 but dammit let's dance!

One of the races is too close to call so I'm going to play it out until morning to give it the full 24 hour treatment.

We have our final four!

#1 X-Wing, Star Wars vs. #8 Imperial Star Destroyer 76%-24%

#2 TIE Fighter, Star Wars vs. #7 Serenity, Firefly 60%-40%

#3 USS Enterprise 1701, Star Trek, TOS vs. #6 USS Enterprise, 1701-D, Star Trek TNG 53%-47%

#4 Slave 1, ESB vs. #5 Razor Crest, The Mandalorian 71%-29%


The Semifinals - VOTE NOW!

#1 X-Wing, Star Wars vs. #4 Slave 1, ESB

#2 TIE Fighter, Star Wars vs. #3 USS Enterprise 1701, Star Trek, TOS

The Bonus Round! Vote how each of the 4 semifinalists would do vs. the Millennium Falcon. Results will be released after the final vote. These 4 questions are right after the semifinal matchups.

Surely you knew how this tournament would go, right?

I will say X-Wing vs Falcon is a toughie for me.

Most recognizable? That's debatable, but I agree with the spawning of the next generation. Picard > Kirk

Doubtful. Show the Enterprise and the Falcon to 100 people under 20, I think 80 will recognize the Falcon and maybe 50 the Enterprise, if you're lucky.

Called it. Ship from my group made it to the Final Four.

Now do it with a sample aged 40-60.

This.

i really don't think 80 .- 50 split is correct. I think it is much closer but it is an interesting question.

Semifinal Results!

#1 X-Wing, Star Wars vs. #4 Slave 1, ESB 79%-21%

#2 TIE Fighter, Star Wars vs. #3 USS Enterprise 1701, Star Trek, TOS 41%-59%

The FINAL - VOTE NOW


#1 X-Wing, Star Wars vs. #3 USS Enterprise 1701, Star Trek, TOS






Consolation Final

#2 TIE Fighter, Star Wars vs. #4 Slave 1, ESB







And the very expected bonus round results:

#1 X-Wing vs. Millennium Falcon 25%-75%
#2 TIE Fighter, Star Wars vs. Millennium Falcon 9%-91%
#3 USS Enterprise 1701, Star Trek, TOS vs. Millennium Falcon 33%-67%
#4 Slave 1, ESB vs. Millennium Falcon 16%-84%


Given the nature of the final matchup, this also seems appropriate for inclusion.




How serious Hutch gets with the Han Solo comment breaks me up every time.

Don't see the link for voting. Am I missing it?

I fixed the link. Was too excited getting to post a Fanboys clip.

I for one am kinda surprised how well the TIE fighter did in this whole tourney.

Its the most bizarrely cool iconic ship out there. And sounds cool.

Unfortunately, actually flying one appears to be a death sentence.

Has a tie fighter ever once completed its mission and the pilot survived? May as well issue a red shirt when you get your wings.

Episode 7 - Poe and Finn steal the TIE fighter and crashed on the planet.

My first time at Galaxy's Edge in Anaheim about 2 weeks after it opened, they blasted the sound of a TIE Fighter flying over head and me and every other moron in the park looked up to see where it was.

I could've sworn we did a best LOTR music tracks tourney at some point, but I can't seem to find any evidence of it.

I might be conflating the "Best LOTR moments" and "Best movie soundtracks" tourneys?

If so, would people be down for this if I were to put it together?

I think we did a LOTR music one.

I'm convinced we did, but for the life of me I can't seem to find it. We definitely did a Star Wars one, since I did that one.

2020 is a blur...

There was definitely a movie score tournament, which had a lot from LOTR, but don't remember a LOTR score specific tournament.
