I’ve played an awful lot of pickup ultimate with little children tagging along - BB8 would fit right in. He doesn’t have arms, but he’s _adorable_ and any team would love to have him zipping around the field making robot sounds. Something also tells me he’d make some surprising defensive plays.
The Horta move underground, which is probably against the spirit of the rules if not the letter.

Had to look up the second one: [http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/starwarsdarkdreams/images/b/bb/Trandoshan\_SWGTCG.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110724230836](http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/starwarsdarkdreams/images/b/bb/Trandoshan_SWGTCG.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110724230836)
I always had a thing for the Gorn. I bet his servers would be “quick and merciful.”

Scotty is neither clumsy nor stupid, so he wins.

Major Kira has actually given birth and, although tough as nails, is more nurturing than Saw Gerrerra. She wins.
Boba Fett vs. Data in a marksmanship contest.

As good as Boba Fett may be, Data has 30th century technology on his side. So Data wins.
Tribble vs. Tauntaun for a pet

Since you specified one tribble, the tauntaun takes this easily. You need a whole bunch of tribbles to keep warm, but we know from the movies that you only need a single tauntaun.

The Falcon has more space for sidewalk seating.

Canon might claim that the Medusans are ugly, but from what we see, the swirling colors are actually kind of pretty. I think the detrimental effects from viewing them just come from how bizarre (to our minds, at least) they are. Palpy, though, is genuinely ugly.
Epic rap battle: The Wormhole Prophets vs. Salacious Crumb (I think there’s a definite answer to this one, but I’m curious if others will agree).

The Wormhole Prophets. Can Crumb even talk, besides that high-pitched laugh of his?

3PO can calculate odds, but I don’t recall him being very knowledgeable about mundane stuff. Data wins.
Han Solo and Khan join the Polar Bear Club. Who can stand the freezing water the longest?

Khan. Eugenics wins. (Chewie would have had a better chance.)
