(1) Darth Vader vs. (9) Jawas

Well, at least R2-D2 is the droid we're looking for.

The second round of the Light Side wraps up with R2-D2 and Lando Calrissian rolling into third round.

Second round of the Dark Side begins today. Make sure to vote for both.

(1) Darth Vader

Darth Vader was played by a slew of different people. He was originally Anakin Skywalker and was portrayed by Jake Lloyd in Phantom Menace and Hayden Christensen in both Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. When he became Darth Vader, David Prowse took over while Bob Anderson took over during the lightsaber scenes in Empire and Jedi. Finally, James Earl Jones provided the voice. Fun Fact: Vader was not originally supposed to be in a suit. He was supposed to enter the Rebel ship in Hope through space, thus needing the suite and breathing apparatus.

(9) Jawas

Fun Fact: Obi-Wan Kenobi was offered 'Jawa Juice' at Dexter Jettster's Diner in Attack of the Clones. The drink is actually called Ardees, but was nicknamed 'Jawa Juice'.

(8) Bib Fortuna vs. (9) Jawas

Well, the old pirate Han Solo moves into the second round to complete the First Round for the Light Side. Check out our updated bracket for all the winners.

Not excited that we dropped back down to nine votes, though.

The Dark Side begins today. This should be more speedy. Remember each day I will post two separate posts with different matchups. Vote for Both!

(8) Bib Fortuna

Bib Fortuna was the ride-hand man to Jabba the Hutt. He is originally seen in The Phantom Menace at the pod races and he continues to serve Jabba in Return of the Jedi. He greets newcomers to Jabba's Palace, including some visiting droids, a bounty hunter named Boushh and a Jedi Knight. He watches, with Jabba, as Han Solo and Luke Skywalker are being fed to the Sarlacc Pit.

(9) Jawas

Jawas are scavenger creatures from the planet Tatooine. They search the planet for technology in order to sell or trade it. They manage to capture both C-3PO and R2-D2 and eventually sell them to Uncle Owen and Luke Skywalker to work on their moisture farm. They did, however, enjoy swindling people - with is evident by trying to sell a broken astromech droid to the moisture farm.
