Star Wars Characters Rankdown

STAR WARS CHARACTERS RANKDOWN

 

RULES
- This rankdown will focus on characters from Star Wars films and television shows.
- A group of rankers will cut characters until a winner is ultimately crowned.
- At the start of a cycle, one ranker will nominate a list of characters for elimination. The other rankers will then choose to cut and save. The cut characters will be eliminated from the rankdown. 
- These rules will be standard for the beginning of the game, but they will change as the game progresses. Any new rules or twists will be announced at the beginning of a cycle.
- Rankers will have thirty minutes to post a write-up of the character they are eliminating. Write-ups must contain at least 100 words and include an image of that character. Do not plagiarize. You can quote sources, but the write-up must have at least 100 original words. Discuss the character and its role in the film, what you like or do not like about the character, and anything else you feel is relevant. If you're writing about a character you are not familiar with, then do your research. starwars.com and Wookieepedia are great resources.
- Cuts and saves are at a first come, first serve basis. Rankers can only refresh their choices once before the thirty-minute time limit. If you need to refresh again, then you'll need to refresh thirty minutes after your first refresh. Other rankers are free to swoop in and steal your claimed characters if you do not post a write-up within the designated time limit.
- If a ranker does not post a write-up 24 hours after nominations were posted without asking for an extension, then the nominator or any other ranker is free to take over.
-You must have watched plenty of Star Wars projects to play this game. You do not need to see every movie or show included in this rankdown, but the most knowledgeable applicants will be selected to play.

CYCLE 1

 

Each ranker will nominate 12 characters for elimination. The other three rankers will cut two characters and save two characters of his or her choice.

 

- Elimination write-ups must have 100 original words and an image. You can claim four characters in one post, but the write-ups must be posted within 45 minutes. If 45 minutes pass by without a write-up, then those characters are back up for grabs unless the ranker refreshes their choices. You're only allowed to refresh once within the 45 minute window.

- Characters cannot be nominated in back-to-back rounds.

APPLICATION

List of Films/Shows Watched:

Favorite Characters:

Character gif to represent you for cast reveal:

Do you think Anakin/Darth Vader should be one entry or two?:

Rankdowns typically takes months to complete. Will you be online daily and remain active throughout the entire game?:

 

Feel free to post on the thread now. If you’re interested in applying, then send a completed application via PM. Please send in an existing PM thread if possible. I’m looking for 6-8 rankers. 
 

Applications will be open for a week. 

 

 

Edited May 4 by Steven_

[Steven_]

I added 200 characters so far. That's just a starting off point for now.

 

I categorized characters by their first appearance, but let me know if I made any mistakes.

[Alex95]

She can’t be in the game because her inevitable win would just be too easy  

[Solaris]

I am in too many rankdowns. I will follow though.

 

Edited May 4 by Solaris

[FrogLenzen]

applying! Lists look good at first glance. Got a couple EU ideas in mind if you're open to a wildcard round 

[Steven_]

So far it looks like there are only two people interested in playing. Will there be anyone else? I'm hoping for at least six. 

[~Tom~]

I’m not a big enough Star Wars fan to play this, but I will try to follow.  

[totes4totes]

i will play.

[Alex95]

I rewatched Episode 4 on May the 4th and I still don't recognize the names of half the people listed under the movie lmao

[Steven_]

Any other Star Wars fans?  

 

I was hoping for at least six rankers, but I’d settle for four. The BBCAN rankdown managed with only four rankers. I only have three at the moment though.

[totes4totes]

I know you are probably already counting me, but I'll send in an official app probably tomorrow. I have some work to do today that I need to write lol.

[Erestor]

I’ll apply just give me time until tomorrow

[Steven_]

Today was supposed to be the last day to apply, but I'll leave apps open for one more day with the hopes of starting on Monday.

 

It looks like I'll have at least four rankers, but please send applications when you can @Alex95, @FrogLenzen, @totes4totes, @Erestor. And if anyone else is interested in participating, then let me know.  

[Alex95]

I've been lazy, but I'll send my app today!

[Alex95]

Not that it matters much, but Jabba is first seen in episode four @Steven_

[FrogLenzen]

at least in the extended versions that blew my mind as a child but that everyone hates nowadays apparently

Oh lol idr the original, I only mentioned it since I just rewatched it on Disney+ the other day and he was there

[Steven_]

Once I get completed questionnaires from @FrogLenzen and @totes4totes, we can get started.

 

Also, with possibly only four rankers at the moment (with @Alex95 and @Erestor), do you all want to add more characters to the 200 already listed? And how many?

I don't have a crazy amount in mind for extras. Just like... the 5 biggest from the EU and KOTOR, plus one niche one that no one else will care about. 

[FrogLenzen]

(Mara Jade, the Solo twins, Revan, Corran, plus one other random [Arden Lyn])
