(2) Luke Skywalker vs. (6) Chewbacca
Han Solo rolls over his old buddy, Lando, and into the quarterfinals. Obi-Wan Kenobi, meanwhile, barely slips past our favorite astro droid, but he also lands in the quarterfinals.

(3) Padme Amidala vs. (6) Chewbacca
As expected Luke Skywalker waltzes into the third round. I thought the Yoda/Wicket matchup would be close, but it seems Yoda has the backing of the masses and also moves on quite easily.
Mother and Daughter return again today to take on some important pieces of the Star Wars universe. Remember to vote for both.
Padme Amidala was portrayed by Natalie Portman in all of the prequel trilogy films. Unlike Fisher, Portman had many film roles as a child, which is why George Lucas selected her for the role of Padme. Fun Fact: In Return of the Jedi Leia mentions remembering her mother as beautiful, but sad even though Padme died shortly after child birth. Though it is not confirmed it is believed that Leia learns of this through The Force, either in the womb or during childhood.
Chewbacca was portrayed by Peter Mayhew during the original trilogy and also in Revenge of the Sith. Mayhew was chosen for the part because of his height, standing at 7 feet-3 inches tall. Fun Fact: George Lucas had originally planned on having a large battle using Wookiees from early drafts of A New Hope and again in Return of the Jedi, which eventually became the Ewoks. Finally in Revenge of the Sith the Wookiees had their moment.

(6) Chewbacca vs. (11) Admiral Ackbar
Well, I sort of figured Jar Jar Binks didn't stand much of a chance. Qui-Gon Jinn rolls past Binks and into the next round.
We continue to have decent numbers, but more is always welcome - spread the word. Thanks, enjoy the next matchup.
Chewbacca is a Wookie from the planet Kashyyyk. Depending on how you watch the films, Chewbacca is first introduced in Revenge of the Sith as Yoda travels to Kashyyyk to help the Wookies defend their planet against an attack during the Clone Wars. In the original trilogy, Chewbacca is the sidekick and co-pilot to the Millennium Falcon with Han Solo. He helps the Rebels fight against the Empire in the rest of the series.
Admiral Ackbar is a Mon Calimari and first appears in Return of the Jedi. He is in charge of the second attack on the Death Star while the other Rebels are on the Moon of Endor below. He originally planned to retreat from the mission when he found out "It's a Trap", but was convinced by Lando Calrissian to press forward and helped in the destruction of the Death Star II.
