Ultimate Star Wars Minifig Challenge Round 3
captaintau replied to captaintau's topic in LEGO Star Wars
So we have a recognised Lightsaber Master vs the creator the Lightsaer form Vapaad. Hell, who knows who will win this. Ordinarily, I'd go with Mace by a thin margin. He is better overall Master and nearly a match with Lightsabers, with the added advantage of Vapaad. The question is, do LULS matter? For this match, I'm gonna say no. The LULS makes Mace's lightsaber blade seems more akin to its true size and strength. As long as Mace doesn't try to throw it, he'll be fine. Mace wins. Just. -
Ultimate Star Wars Minifig Challenge Round 3

I make it three all so I'm going to rule in favour of who I think has had the better arguments, that being Obi Wan. It seems some wanted Jimmy to win, but could quite state why he'd possibly win. Sorry. The next match is HARSH. This sort of match will happen increasingly often in this challenge. It features two Jedi Masters, both slain by Darth Sidious. The first is the Nautolan, Master Kit Fisto. The second is the Human, Master Mace Windu (LULS version). Round 3, match 5: Kit Fisto vs. Mace Windu (LULS) -

We know little about Jedi Jimmy but we guess that he's skirting a bit close to the Dark Side. This version of Obi Wan is at about his most powerful, only hampered (or not, YOU decide) by being LULS. I vote for a lengthy Lightsaber battle culminating with Obi Wan striking a lethal blow. Aside from anything else, Obi Wan is one of the movie heroes and therefore HAS to win against a virtual unknown (basic Hollywood rule) -

I make it 3-2 Darth Tyranus, with very poor arguments in favour of the Shock Trooper anyway. The next match takes place on Geonosis and is between two Jedi. The first is known as Jedi Jimmy. The second is a survivor of the Geonosian battle. Its Obi Wan Kenobi (Ultimate Lightsaber Duel) Round 3, match 4: Jedi Jimmy vs. Obi Wan Kenobi (Ultimate Lightsaber Duel) -

Tyranus will deflect anything from the Shocky and then just cut him up. Sith ON -
Ultimate Star Wars Minifig Challenge Round 3

In the match of Yoda vs. Obi Wan, this is how it went: Mr. Mandalorian voted for Yoda. 1-0 Yoda I voted for Yoda. 2-0 Yoda ImperialScouts voted for Obi Wan. 2-1 Yoda imperialshadows voted for Yoda. 3-1 Yoda Andrew voted for Obi Wan. 3-2 Yoda The Kid voted for Obi Wan. 3 all trooperdavinfelth voted Obi Wan 4-3. Obi Wan PSPguy voted Yoda. 4 all trooperdavinfelth wished to change his vote. Nope! So I make this the most involved and closest match yet. There are convincing arguments on both sides. We need a winner and I'm willing to let this go on as we have more matches to have. SO, I'm going back on my decision to disallow a vote chnage, BUT THIS ONCE. So, that's 5-3 Yoda, who advances into the finals. Controversial? Possibly. To those that disagree, sorry but a decision has to be made Now on with the next match. First, representing the Sith but hdiing within the CIS, its Darth Tyranus. And his opponent representing the Republic Clone Army, its a Shock Trooper Round 3, match 3: Darth Tyranus vs. Shock Troooper -

Yoda has no lightsaber in this so seems at a disadvantge. HOWEVER, Obi Wan is powerful yet really quite inexperienced. I think Yoda would rip his Lightsaber away, then use the Force to defeat him. Yoda for the win -

So, Boba Feet wins :-D . Presumably his opponent is given the boot? He should have learned to toe the line. Heel know from now on. Rest his sole. Sorry. Onto the next step: The next match is subtley different from another recent one... but will that subtle difference make for a different outcome? Introducing first, arriving by Wookiee Catamaran, its Jedi Master Yoda. And his opponent, arriving by Gungan Sub, its Jedi Padawan Obi Wan Kenobi. Round 3, match 2: Yoda (Wookiee Catamaran) vs. Obi Wan Kenobi (Gungan Sub) -
Have you tried eBay or Bricklink?

Ultimate Star Wars Minifig Challenge Round 3

I think with the SBD's firepower, the fight will start with Monsieur Le Fett beating a hasty retreat. BUT he is WAY smarter. He flies out of range of the SBD, uses his grappling lines (which the Cloud City version must have somewhere in all those printed bits) to ensnare the droid, then shoots him. Lots Boba wins. -
This will seem really pedantic, but... It's not "LAAT/I", its "LAAT/i", phonetically "larty"
-
This isn't the time or place, but... IMHO "frown" is dumb. "Rewn" makes much more sense. If we can't agree, though, we shouldn't have either.

So, here we go. Getting closer to a grand winner. This is round 3. This is the last round in which matches are randomly drawn. Future fights are based on the order that fighters come out of this round. First of all, your survivors: 1. Anakin Skywalker (Ultimate Space Battle) 2. Darth Sidious (Final Duel I) 3. Darth Vader (Ultimate Lightsaber Duel) 4. Obi Wan Kenobi (Gungan Sub) 5. Super Battle Droid (DBP) 6. Yoda (Wookiee Catamaran) 7. Darth Tyranus 8. Qui Gon Jinn 9. Jedi Jimmy 10. Darth Maul (Sith Infiltrator) 11. Shock Trooper 12. Obi Wan Kenobi (Ultimate Lightsaber Duel) 13. Mace Windu (LULS) 14. Kit Fisto 15. Boba Fett (Cloud City) 16. Chewbacca (new, system-scale, MF) So getting straight on, your first match sees a Super Battle Droid from the Battle Droids Pack face Boba Fett from Cloud City Round 3, match 1: Super Battle Droid (Droid Battle Pack) vs. Boba Fett (Cloud City)

I make it a close win for Chewbacca who advances into round 3. This concludes round 2. I shall now open a Round 3 thread. -

I think Chewie would just rip the arms off the Scout Trooper. Wookiees ON! -
"Someday PSPguy shall get whacked because obviously *yoda* was Upset due to..." Is this making any sense?

First, Yoda, yeah sorry, I know I was meant to do this. Been very busy. However, I'll gladly contribue with some corrections: ARC: Aggressive Recon Advanced Reconnaisance Commando OR Aggressive ReConnaisance starfighter, depends on whether you're referring to ARC troopers or the ARC 170. LUL: Light-Up Lighsaber Don't we normally use "LULS" RGS: Republic Attack Gunship Republic GunShip. Properly called the LAAT/i - Low Altitude something something / infantry

I make it 3-1 Boba. Four votes? Come ON guys, I know its bank holiday weekend. This is supposed to get more exciting as we progress. I'll finish this contest even if it means I'm teh only playing in the end. The final match of round 2 comes from the forest moon of Endor. Featuring first, a Scout Trooper (Speeder Bikes on Endor set). And his opponent, from the new-version system-scale MF, its Chewbacca. Round 2, match 16. Imperial Scout Trooper (Speeder Bikes on Endor) vs. Chewbacca (new-version, system-scale Millennium Falcon) Tomorrow night, I'll conclude round 2 and start round 3. -

Jango is an impressve warrior (IIRC) trained by the Mandalorians. He is true Mando'a. Boba has had a hard life following the death of his father, and prior to that was very well trained. By the time of Cloud City, he's had how-many fights for his life? Boba is a survivor. He's had to be. Aside from Force-wielders, he is quite possibly the best warrior in the galaxy. I say Boba, but after a long, hard fight. -

That's the dumbest argument I've read in this competition. No-oen said it was illegal, though! So Master Kit wins. The next match will shock you. I stress again that all draws are 100% random. This match takes place on Cloud City. Featuring first the future leader of the Mand'alors, its Boba Fett (Cloud City). And his opponent, having regained his head from the floor fo the Geonosis arena, its Jango Fett. Round 2, match 15. Boba Fett (Cloud City) vs. Jango Fett -

R2 puts up a valiant effort. Tries poking Kit's hand with his welding arm. Kits just thinks "thank *yoda* I'm not a LULS figure" (except he thinks in Nautolan, obviously) and cuts R2 in half. I've made the draw for the next match which inherantly means the next two matches are drawn. Wait 'till you see what they are. They'll be AWESOME matches. -

Much enthusiasm for this match. Mace wins. For those of you loving a close match, you'll be disappointed by the next one! It takes place on board Jabba's Sail Barge. Featuring first, one of only a handful of characters to make it through all six episodes, its R2-D2 (Sailbarge). And his opponent, sadly lacking in the movies, its Kit Fisto. Round 2, match 14. R2-D2 (Sailbarge) vs. Kit Fisto Just this match and two others to the end of round 2.
