Name any character from Star Trek vs. any character from Star Wars in any type of contest. The next poster tells who would win said contest and why, then proposes another such contest with two such characters; i.e.

Han. He’s got youthful vigor going for him, and, besides, he’d cheat.

We already know Sulu can do it (“Oh, my!”) and Darth Maul would probably be unfamiliar with the weapon, so 50 quatloos on the _Enterprise_ man!

It’s supposed to be ST v. SW, but… Kirk has more charm in his little finger than Riker has in his entire body. Plus, Riker will put off the women when he sits down in that weird way he has.

Kirk still wins on the charm front. Plus, he’s got a nicer ship than the Falcon.

Uhura’s never shown any particular athletic ability, has she? I’ll have to go with Rey on that one.

Palpatine. Wesley has youthful vigor, but Palpy doesn’t even need to move to control the ball.

R2D2. Scotty would be too busy explaining everything he’s trying to do to Capt. Kirk on the ship’s intercom to get it done.

Next up: Spock vs. Han Solo in a cake decorating contest.

Spock. His greater patience and experience with scientific tools will be the decisive factor.

Jar-Jar–he’s the Illegitimate son of Bugs Bunny & the Loch Ness Monster…being silly comes naturally.
