I’m going with Guinan. She’s a bartender, and everyone knows bartenders give the best advice.

Talos IV vs. Lando Calrissian’s Cloud City as a vacation spot.

I also want to say I’m glad this thread has gone the way I envisioned when I started it.

We sure see her wear a lot more stuff.

In play:

You can be executed for visiting Talos IV. Cloud City, even under Imperial rule, is not as inevitably fatal.

Harry Mudd or Han Solo try to talk their way past a blockading starship.

The whole point of the _Falcon_ is that Han can run blockades rather than having to talk his way past them. Harry Mudd would come out the other side richer than when he was first stopped.

Picard v. Chewbacca in dramatic overemoting.

If I may be permitted an aside, Harry is much more eloquent than Han Solo. “A little present for being so helpful, guard, buy something for the ladies.” as opposed to “Fine…everything’s…fine.”

That was my thinking.

In play:

Chewbacca, although much more limited in his English vocabulary, definitely overemotes more than ol’ Jean-Luc.

Teenage Wesley Crusher or teenage Anakin Skywalker in a bare-knuckle boxing match?

I believe “I find your lack of faith disturbing” wins hands down over, “Gentlemen, beam me up!”

The Doctor can just re-project himself where the balloon’s going to land. Easy.

Back in play: The holographic projection of Moriarty vs. the spooky tree on Dagobah where the only danger is what you bring with you.

Moriarty’s smart enough to win this one.

Luke Skywalker has a louder voice and might have yodeled while being alone so much on Tatooine. Somehow, I just picture him as being able to yodel.

Q’s jokes might be cruel, capricious, and reality-warping, but at least he can tell them. All Vader’s got is “don’t choke on your aspirations”.
