*Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Boba Fett
**Winner: Obi-Wan Kenobi
**"Obi-Wan knows to first disable as many of Fett's long-range weapons as he can, bringing the hunter in close where the Jedi has the advantage."

**"Anakin's relative lack of control in the heat of battle is his undoing."
*General Grievous vs. Emperor Palpatine
**Winner: Emperor Palpatine

*Padme Amidala vs. Zam Wesell
**Winner: Zam Wesell
**"It's close, but Zam knows the tricks of the bounty hunting trade and succeeds in capturing the unguarded Senator."
*Speeder bike vs. Wookiee Gnasp
**Winner: Speeder Bike
**"The ornithopter rotors are fragile, and a shot from the speeder bike grounds the fluttercraft for good."
*Jabba's rancor vs. Nexu
**Winner: Jabba's rancor
**"The rancor lands a lucky blow and connects with the darting nexu, knocking it out cold."
*AT-AT Walker vs. Clone Turbo Tank
**Winner: AT-AT Walker
**"The AT-AT's heavy armor barely withstands the first round, but the tank's wheel assembly is utterly destroyed by a well-placed shot, leaving it a sitting duck."
*Darth Maul vs. Kit Fisto
**Winner: Kit Fisto
**"Despite Maul's relentless and frantic attacks, Kit Fisto keeps his cool and wears his opponent down."

**Winner: Star Destroyer
**"This modern Imperial warship is built for conquest, and it obliterates the older transport vessel."

**Winner: Reek
**"The ferocious reek proves far more deadly than the docile bantha."
*Millennium Falcon vs. Sith Infilitrator
**Winner: Millennium Falcon
**"Despite experimental technology, the Infiltrator simply can't keep up with the Falcon souper-up power."
*R2-D2 vs. IG-88
**Winner: IG-88
**Artoo can avoid IG-88's attacks, but he can't get close enough to land one of his own. It's only a matter of time until one of IG-88's attacks connects, leaving poor R2-D2 a squealing and sparking mess!"
*TIE Fighter vs. Naboo N-1 Starfighter
**Winner: TIE Fighter
**"It's a very close contest, but the hard steel of the Empire cuts through the decorative finish of a Naboo fighter."
*Jabba the Hutt vs. Jar Jar Binks
**Winner: Jabba the Hutt
**"Poor Jar Jar just can't stop Jabba from rolling on top of him. Jar Jar's rubbery body escapes serious injury, but the Gungan is pinned beneath the crimelord's bulk."
*X-wing vs. Grievous's Starfighter
**Winner: X-Wing
**The versatile Rebel fighter keeps hammering the better-armored ship until Grievous's ship finally cracks."
*Acklay vs. Boga
**Winner: Boga
**"Boga outmaneuvers the mad, stabbing attacks of the acklay, tipping over the sharp-clawed beast, and leaving it vulnerable."

**Winner: B-Wing
**"The cutting-edge Rebel ship trains its heavy weapons on the ARC-170 and blows it out of the sky."
*Chewbacca vs. Wampa
**Winner: Chewbacca
**"It goes the distance, but ultimately Chewbacca topples the snow beast and racks up plenty of scrapes to show for it."
*Leia Organa Solo vs. Aurra Sing
**Winner: Aurra Sing
**"Aurra's deadly skills force Leia to surrender, but Leia's biding her time to turn the tables on the bounty hunter."
*Bossk vs. Droideka

**"There's heavy firepower all around, but Bossk ultimately outwits the droideka by keeping it unbalanced with repeated grenade attacks."

**Winner: Snowspeeder
**"Though the gunship provides lethal ground support, the speedy snowspeeder flies circles around it."
*Lando Calrissian vs. Gamorrean
**Winner: Lando Calrissian
**"Able to outthink and outmaneuver the Gamorrean, Lando stays out of axe range and bests his opponent with a single shot."
*Y-Wing vs. Vulture Droid
