(1) Darth Vader vs. (2) Yoda

In what I pretty much expected from the start, Darth Vader was selected as the Dark Side winner with a victory over Darth Maul in the semifinals.

And, with that, he moves into today's ultimate showdown against Yoda, who defeated Luke Skywalker in the the Light Side semifinals.

So what shall it be? Good or Evil?

(1) Darth Vader

"You are unwise to lower your defenses."

(2) Yoda

"Size matters not."

(1) Darth Vader vs. (2) Darth Maul

We have our Light Side winner.

Though we just got seven votes, Yoda defeats Luke Skywalker and captured the Light Side title. He moves into Wednesday's championship round, but who he face?

Vader was the lone No. 1 seed to make it all the way to the semifinals. Darth Maul, meanwhile, had a much easier path once Darth Sidious was erased in round one.

They both make it to the semifinals, but who will be the ultimate Dark Side baddie?

(1) Darth Vader

Darth Vader makes it into the semifinals by defeating the Wampa in the first round; the Jawas were knocked away in round two; Vader's own Stormtroopers were sent packing in round three and finally a surprisingly large victory over Boba Fett in the quarterfinals.

(2) Darth Maul

Darth Maul is in today's semifinals after a victory over the Royal Guard in the first round; by knocking off Sebulba in round two; getting past Grand Moff Tarkin in the third round and finally flying past Jabba the Hutt in the quarterfinals.

(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'.

(1) Darth Vader vs. (16) Wampa

There must be a Boba Fett hater out there, he got one vote against him. Either way both Fett and Darth Maul march into the second round pretty easily.

Today marks the last day of the First Round as we wrap up the Dark Side with the two No. 1 seeds.

Make sure to vote for both. Second round starts on Friday.

(1) Darth Vader

Darth Vader is the main villain throughout the original trilogy and towards the end of Revenge of the Sith. Vader is the apprentice of Darth Sidious, and as we find out in Empire Strikes Back, the father of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. Vader was once known as Anakin Skywalker and trained to be a Jedi by Obi-Wan Kenobi. He was found by Qui-Gon Jinn and proclaimed the chosen one - the one who was supposed to bring balance to the Force.

(16) Wampa

The Wampa is an abominable snow monster type creature that lives on the planet Hoth. The Wampa discovers Luke Skywalker and his tauntaun, and drags them both back to his cave. While the Wampa is enjoying the tauntaun for a light snack, Skywalker is strung up in ice inside the cave. Unable to get free, Skywalker uses the Force to bring his lightsaber to his hand (the first time on film that he was able to do so) and cuts himself free, destroys the Wampa and is able to escape.

Top 10: Movie Villains

This is a difficult subject to get into, but I figured I would do my best to honor Heath Ledger's terrific performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight film.

I had to do some carving - so I didn't include serial killer-types like Jason Vorhees, Freddy Krueger, Mike Myers or Ghostface - although each and every one of them were terrific villains.

Also, for the bottom two on this list - I went with possibilities instead of actual screen time, but I will explain that in a minute.

Here are my Top 10: Movie Villains (in reverse order as always):

10) Darth Maul - Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

Reasoning: I thought that the idea of Darth Maul was amazing. Ray Park also did a great job at creating the character - he just looked vicious from the first time you get to see him. He is highly skilled, quick and strong with The Force. I was disappointed with the quick demise of Darth Maul, as his character was one of the best in the Star Wars universe - killing him off in one episode was a serious mistake.

9) Venom - Spiderman 3
Reasoning: Again, this character could have done so much more. Apparently, Venom was an afterthought in the movie, and put in for fan approval. But, the way he was used could have been so much better in my opinion. I actually thought Topher Grace was great in the role - but it was too minor for such a great character. Hopefully, we haven't seen the last of Venom.

8) Wicked Witch of the West - The Wizard of Oz
Reasoning: Is the Wicked Witch of the West truly a villain? Apparently she was always as ruthless and sinister before Dorothy arrived in Oz, at least according to the Munchkins. But, her hatred towards Dorothy might have been merited - she did drop a house on her sister's head. But still - her vengeance towards the four yellow-brick road followers was truly wicked.

7) Magneto - X-Men Trilogy
Reasoning: The mutants in the X-Men universe were clearly given a choice - either use their powers for the good, or for evil. Magneto was originally an ally of Dr. Xavier, but the prejudice towards mutants from the humans forced his hand - and he became the face of evil throughout the X-Men Trilogy.

6) Dr. Octopus - Spiderman 2
Reasoning: Talk about a guy who takes his work seriously. After killing his wife and his mechanical arms are fused into his body, Dr. Otto Octavius becomes Dr. Octopus and will stop at nothing to finish his experiment. In order to complete his experiment, he needs tritium, which Harry Osborne possesses - to obtain it he must kill Spiderman.

5) Hannibal Lecter - Silence of the Lambs
Reasoning: Despite not really being the villain in the film - that belongs to Jame Gumb 'Buffalo Bill' - but it was Lecter who was the most frightening, even behind that glass cage he was housed in. Despite helping Clarice Starling track down the infamous Buffalo Bill, Lecter always appeared to have a hidden agenda. And it was his mind games that made him a true force.

4) Khan - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Reasoning: Khan's story is one of revenge. Kirk had exiled Khan to the planet Ceti Alpha V in the episode 'Space Seed' of the original Star Trek television series. Back for his revenge in the second of the Star Trek films, Khan commandeers the USS Reliant and goes into all-out war against Kirk and the Enterprise in search of 'Project Genesis' - a quick process of transforming a planet into a livable one.

3) Lord Voldemort - Harry Potter Franchise
Reasoning: He Who Must Not Be Named, has been the enemy of Harry Potter from birth. Killing Harry's parents, and scarring him with a lightning bolt scar on his fore-head, Voldemort was 'killed', but is slowly returning to finish what he started. I have not read the books, so I only know what I have seen - but it appears Harry is the only hope to send Voldemort back where he belongs.

2) The Joker - The Dark Knight
Reasoning: The Joker has been around for ages, but in all forms (despite some animation) he still didn't seem all too terrifying. But, enter Heath Ledger, and The Joker was transformed into a true mass-murdering psychopath. His only real reason for committing these crimes was to prove that anyone could turn evil in the right situation.

1) Darth Vader - Star Wars Original Trilogy
Reasoning: In my mind no one is as villainous as Darth Vader. Despite taking orders from Emperor Palpatine, he was the true bad ass who carried them all out. He was masterful with a light saber, had one of the best understandings of The Force - and despite being bulky, was surprisingly nimble. But it wasn't just his fighting skills - he also had a knack for getting under your skin with his brain.
