The final group which has 7 entrants, the rest after this point will have just 6.
Tough group this in my opinion. 2016 Champion, Emperors Royal Guard starts his campaign and with two former champions already topping their groups adds a little pressure to the ERG. Eliminated in the group stage in 2017 when trying to defend his title, he just couldn't clear his group as he finished 3rd behind Hoth Stormie and Vader. In the opening two competitions he had mixed competitions, 2014 saw a second round exit at the hands of Luke Jedi and in 2015 he also exited in the second round as he fell to the TIE Fighter Pilot. When you look at his performance in 14, 15 and 17 it makes it more of a surprise that in 2016 he stormed to victory.
If he's to make it through to the second round this year he's going to have to be on tip top form. Hammerhead will offer stiff competition, a second round exit to Vader in 2014, was followed by failure to clear the group stage in 2015 and 2016. He did however manage to reach the second round in 2017 but that's where his campaign ended as he came unstuck against Leia Boushh. Surely a first 21 figure should be advancing further than this???
Bossk will also be looking to put the pressure on in what is surely going to be a tight group. A second round exit to Luke bespin in 2017 followed group stage exits in all of the other three previous comps. Squid Head, a beautiful sculpted figure with great accessories will surely have a shout in this group. Squid has gotten out of the group in 2014, 2016 and 2017 but has always fallen in the first knockout stage.
Anakin Skywalker, everyone's favourite hunk of plastic will surely offer no threat in a group such as this, four group exits previously has seen him finish bottom of the group on all previous occasions, looks good odds for that to happen here again.
The final two figures could both fancy their chances though, Gamorrean Guard, great great figure, topped his group in 2017 and went on to progress to the 3rd round where he was beaten by Biker Scout. 2016 saw him fail in the group stage as Han Hoth topped his group, 2015 saw him clear the group stage before being dealt a thrashing at the hands of Jawa, and in 2014 it was a second round exit to Boba Fett. Good pedigree for getting out of the group stages.
The final figure in this group, Amanaman, failed to clear the group stage in 2014/15 and 2016. In 2017 he turned on the style finishing runner up to Yoda in Group H. The celebratiobns were short lived though as he went down 46-13 to r2-D2.
This looks a tough round to call, choose your three choices carefully!!!
Group will shut at 3.30pm on Friday 5th January
