yes:)

YOUTH:-Luke Skywalker (movies IV-VI only, the CLASSICS)
FOIL/SCOUNDREL/SIDEKICK:-Han Solo
COMIC DUO-C-3PO+R2-D2

THE WISE OLD MENTOR:-Gandalf
THE HERO'S PROTECTOR(S)-MCCoy+Scotty together
STRONG FEMALE-Elizabeth Swann
HERO'S ARMY-Starfleet
HERO'S VEHICHLE-NCC-1701 USS Enterprise (as Scotty said, "No bloody A, B, C, OR D.")

YOUTH:- luke (perfect for the role - noble,clueless, and very green)
FOIL/SCOUNDREL/SIDEKICK: Han solo - a scoundrel and a gentleman
COMIC DUO- gimli and legolas, inter-species homosexuals, yeah for LOTR pushing boundaries

THE WISE OLD MENTOR:- gandalf
THE HERO'S PROTECTOR(S)- terminator (custom fucking designed for your needs)
STRONG FEMALE- terminator summer glau (really strong:)
HERO'S ARMY- BSG crew (if you were facing the end of the universe would you really want Starfllet, a bunch of smart boys and girls in smart jumpsuits who follow the rules behind you? or a gritty kill or be killed veteran bunch like BSG?)
HERO'S VEHICHLE- Millennium Falcon- takes a kicken' but keeps on ticken'

Youth - Kirk
Foil / Sidekick - Spock (Han Solo is the coolest, but he's so similar to Kirk...)
Comic Duo - C3PO and R2D2
Wise Old Mentor - Obi Wan
Hero's Protector - McCoy and Scotty (McCoy is far and away the best Star Trek character, and the guy they cast in the role in the new film captures him (_superbly_)
Strong Female - Leia
Hero's Army - The Rebel Alliance (much cooler than stuffy old Starfleet)
Hero's Vehicle - NCC 1701 (if it has to be compared with an X-Wing - but why didn't you offer the Millennium Falcon, a much cooler vehicle??)

@Sean: I think the idea is that you vote for things on obiwanobiwan's list, so you're not really allowed the Terminator, etc.

I dont think im a geek...2 varisty sports in HS and 1 in college, but quite obviously Star Wars and LotR have to pick up all the geek emmy's between them. Young' un has to go to luke. Elder advisor has to go to Gandalf (with all due respect to Obiwan) and villian really cant be decided...Vadar/the Emporer vs Sauron/Sauraman? Toss up.

Youth - Luke
Scoundrel - Captain Jack Sparrow (close second, Han Solo)
Comic Duo - Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took (a write-in vote)
Mentor - Gandalf
Protector -Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli
Strong Female - Xev/Zev Bellringer (LEXX write-in) Part human, part cluster lizard, all incredibly hot female who liked to get naked and had the hots for a dead guy.
Army - League of Non-aligned worlds (B5 write in - they stood down the Shadows and the Vorlons at the same time).
Vehicle - the LEXX (another write-in). You think the death star was bad-ass? Yeah right!

@Jamie - the original poll even includes an optional write-in for Arwen, so they must be allowed.

@obiwan - it's spelled Eowyn, only cause you said you weren't certain of the spelling, and you are right, she is tougher than Arwen considering she is a human and not an immortal elf.

I'd like to throw in a write-in for sidekick - Inigo Montoya.

Let's not forget Samwise Gamgee. Loyalist sidekick you'll ever find and HE knows how to cook a brace of coneys.

I'd answer differently for every question if I could include different series!

Hibiskiss, write-ins are allowed. Obiwan even specified Arwen could be a write-in for Strong Female if we so desired.

Well, these would be my write-ins!

Treckie much?

@ Hibi: 8 pwns Starbuck anyday... But Janeway rocks them both.

In no world is arwen a strong female so why bother giving the option?

No freaking clue... Also LotR sucks anyway...

I'm going to amend mine. They hero's protectors are McCoy, Data, and a Redshirt.

idk i would have had different nominees than what you had those are almost too mainstream lol

OK, so we have some really awesome picks going on here it looks like...

Not a lot of love for Frodo, though... and only one for Arthur- are you Brits not fans of them anymore?

Well, I'm going to vote, and then- can someone good with math do a tabulation so we can get an idea of the standings, I always mess up the math...

Youth: Luke (He's just so perfect for it... Frodo and then Dent... Kirk's too seasoned for a "youth")

Sidekick/Foil: This is the hardest for me... Sam, Han, Jack Sparrow, and Spock all are really close... I'll take Spock, though, for dying for his youth (and coming back!)

Comic Duo: Between 3-P0/R2 and Merry and Pippin... by sheer weight of their being the more recognized pair, I'll take the droids here.

Mentor: Really between Obi-Wan and Gandalf, they're both very much the same, great character, a Merlin archetype... but Gandalf is seperated from Frodo in the first part of that trilogy and then doesn't give him guidance for really the rest of the way, and Obi-Wan is there in all three parts giving Luke moral guidance- I'll take my namesake. ;)

Protectors: Another tough one... but Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are just perfect here.

Strong Female: Eowyn (thanks for the spelling help) and Uhura are good, but Leia's a legend, and the pick here.

Army: Hmmm... obviously not The Book's Publisher's lol... and the Pirate Brethren really not so good here either in my opinion... Starfleet's good, but not quite mythical enough... it's between the Alliance and the Armies of Middle Earth- and in the Romantic tradition, I'll take Middle Earth's Army.

Vehicle: First I should say the Millenium Falcon IS the better choice for SW; I guess I just considered it Han's vehicle and thus not the Hero's vehicle, but it fits better on second though, but both X-Wing and the Falcon are allowed. Anyway- I like all of the choices a LOT (except for Frodo's horses lol) but if I had to choose between the Falcon, the Pearl, the Heart of Gold, and the original Enterprise... the Heart of Gold has it's drive, but is also a big target and winds up in too much trouble... the Pearl ditto... and I just cannae see Scotty letting the Enterprise be beaten by a wee Falcon. ;) The Original Enterprise is the pick here.

Villian... I wasn't going to include that, but since it's been brought up... I'm torn between the Emperor and Sauron- both really share a lot of their credit as villians to their killer subordinates Sauroman and Darth Vader... I'd like to say Emperor easily because he destroyed a planet but that was Vader, after all... still, the Emperor didn't just take over the world/galaxy like Sauron, but went on and committed genocide and killed almost all the Jedi (throw out all the books and other Star Wars stuff that are really poor and just cash cows, and it looks like just Ob-Wan and Yoda escape the genocide- THAT's wickedly evil) so I'll take the Emperor just over Sauron.

And yes, Invictus- I do make complicated threads, don't I lol, but then they are plenty of fun, are they not (and oh dear, my geek most certainly is showing.) ;)
