The first of this years semi finals places the defending champion Yoda against the in form Sand People.
Yoda is the first former champion to reach the semi finals when defending the crown. In fact the first three champions (Stormtrooper, Boba Fett and Emperor's Royal Guard) all fell at the group stages in their title defence years. Yoda has looked good from the outset this year, topping a group with a former champion, then eliminating Threepio, R2 and IG-88 to get to this stage. Can he be the first figure to not only win back to back titles but actually win a second title!

Quarter Final
Yoda 16 v 14 IG-88
Yodas opponent, Sand People, is in territories unknown, to this point the Tusken's best was a quarter final in 2017. Outside of that there has been two group stage exits, but for the three previous tournaments to this one it has reached the third round each time and not been able to go any further. The sand dwelling inhabitants are now just one vote off from a place in the grand final. You may say it's fluked its way here, but far from it, topping it's group saw it help the elimination of the TIE Pilot, then we had the most convincing victory in the second round as it battered Han Bespin by 18 vote margin. Taking out 2015 champion Fett in the third round was a marquee performance and then it removed the Dark Lord himself in the quarters, looks like form of a champion to me.
