Star Wars Character Popularity Contest!

This is what we've all been waiting for!

This is a 64-character tournament-style contest pitting characters of Star Wars against each other until the favorite is reached.

Round 1 commences!

First up, we have:

Rey vs Carth Onasi

Bae, I mean "Rey"

@strafe_prower@xwraith@jedixman

Rey.

Rey, who is the other guy?

@darkdetective27: He's from the Kotor series of games.

Rey

@luna_joestar: Ok, I never played those.

@darkdetective27: They are worth the while.

Rey

Carth. He won't win, but I have to vote for a KOTOR character.

Rey.

I feel like one of the few who liked Carth, but I can't vote for him against Rey.

Rey all the way

Rey, though KOTOR is amazing.

Carth is great but I'm going to go with Rey.

Next up, we have:

R2-D2 vs Exar Kun

Artoo!

R2D2

R2-D2

Don't even know who the other guy is.

@thespoiler: That will happen . . .

Exar Kun stomps.

R2

What the hell is an Exar Kun?

@sprior93: @thespoiler: I remember reading about him first in the Dark Apprentice novel from 1994.

R2

Exar kun

R2-D2

R2-D2

7-2 R2-D2

R2

R2-D2

Also, it's kind of funny how many people don't seem to know of some of the EU characters.

Exar over the toy commercial

Exar Kun because he developed the double bladed lightsaber.

Exar Kun stomps. It's really unfair to pit movie characters against EU ones, though.

R2D2

R2. He's just more impactful on the franchise as a whole.

R2D2

What's the point of a popularity contest at all, if the second sentence is the basis for all your votes?

@deronn_solo: Because the one who is more impactful on the franchise is the more popular one, no?

I personally just enjoy R2 as a character over Kun, and a wide majority of characters for that matter.

Rey is obviously more popular because she's a move character whereas Carth is an EU character that the general audience don't know.

I can see that you're clueless on the matter as it stands, so let me break it down in layman's terms, my dear.

Popularity in general is pretty much set; that is too say, we already know who's the the top.

But this is a Comicvine popularity contest where we --- the people here, vote for who we like best. If we're being totally objective by public perception than all tourneys would be pointless since who is more popular than who whom is pretty much locked in when it comes to series like Star Wars.

If you like a beeping robot better than a character, with, you know - an actual character and depth, then be my guest. I was simply questioning the reasoning.
