Star Wars: This Is Madness Character Tournament
Today StarWars.com launches its own version of March tournament madness. Instead of the 68-team NCAA men’s basketball field, it’s 32 Star Wars characters facing off for ultimate bragging rights. EW.com braved foretelling the future with their prediction article, but this is Star Wars and the results will be determined by fan vote. Upsets are guaranteed.
“Impossible to see, the future is.”
~ Yoda
Each day of the competition, running from today through April 9, one Light Side and one Dark Side pairing will compete. Today it’s Han Solo vs. Lando Calrissian and Darth Vader vs. General Grievous.
If you need extra convincing to participate, how about this pitch from the Dark Lord himself:
