So we reach this years final show piece, and for the first time we have a three way final, and as every other year a new name on the trophy.
FORMER CHAMPIONS
2014 : Stormtrooper
2015 : Boba Fett
2016 : Emperor's Royal Guard
2017 : Princess Leia Organa
2018 : Biker Scout
2019 : Luke Skywalker (Bespin Fatigues)
2020 : ??????????
This years line up sees a figure from the Star Wars run of figures, a figure from the Empire Strikes Back run of figures and a figure from the Return of the Jedi run of figures, one from each movie, but only one can prevail.
All three of this years finalists have been in fine form, big and dominant victories have seen them reach this stage.
Yoda has been very popular topping Group D by 14 votes, then in the first knockout stage absolutely battered Zuckuss 34-8, don't often see scorelines so one sided in the knockouts. A 14 vote victory over Luke Jedi in the third round saw him paired up against Luke in the quarters, it looked on paper a tough tie but it was an 8 vote difference as Yoda set up a semi final match with R5-D4, winning that one by 13 votes!!!
YODA'S RUN TO FINAL
GROUP D
33 pts. YODA
19 pts. AT-ST Driver
19 pts. 4-LOM

2nd ROUND
beat Zuckuss 34-8
3rd ROUND

QUARTER FINAL
beat Luke Skywalker 24-16
SEMI FINAL

Jawa reaches his first final having lost his two previous semi finals, although he still hasn't actually won a semi final as a draw saw him and Leia Boushh progress this time out. Jawa was responsible for the elimination of the defending champion this year has he eliminated Luke Bespin in the third round.
JAWA'S ROUTE TO THE FINAL
GROUP N
38 pts. Jawa
22 pts. Princess Leia Organa (Bespin Gown)
21 pts. Han Solo (Trench Coat)
18 pts. Wicket W. Warrick

3rd ROUND
beat Luke Skywalker (Bespin Fatigues) 25-18
QUARTER FINAL

SEMI FINAL
Drew with Princess Leia Organa (Boushh Disguise) 20-20
The final place in this grand finale went to Leia Boushh who beat last years runner up, R2D2, on the way to this round. A good year for the figure in an awesome disguise, could we see a second figure variant of Leia gain victory???
LEIA BOUSHH'S ROUTE TO THE FINAL
GROUP H
37 pts. Princess Leia Organa (Boushh Disguise)
29 pts. Ben 'Obi-Wan' Kenobi
21 pts. Imperial Commander
9 pts. Rebel Commando
7 pts. Max Rebo
4 pts. Droopy McCool

beat Greedo 27-12
3rd ROUND
beat R2-D2 22-18
QUARTER FINAL
beat Hammerhead 26-16
SEMI FINAL
Drew with Jawa 20-20
Interestingly in 2018 both Yoda and Jawa were in a three way semi final, both missed out on a place in the final as Biker Scout eliminated both on the way to victory. This year was Yoda's fourth semi final and he'll be delighted that he finally managed to win one.
So there it is, in three days time one of these three figures will join the forum list on winners and will hold the prestigious title of SWFUK's favourite figure.
Please choose your FAVOURITE figure
