Hoo'd Win: James T. Kirk vs Han Solo

[thebitterguy]

Greetings, Bitterites, as we return to the delightful fields of Hoo'd Win! Today's competitors are two of the most beloved figures in Sci Fi history. One, a rakish starship captain, and the other is an... uh... rakish starship captain.

Han Solo has a surprisingly involved backstory, but let it be said that he flies a ship and plays by his own rules. So does Starfleet captain James T. Kirk. Whether it's flying the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs or performing field experiments in "biological compatibility", there's nothing that can stop these two heroes of the spaceways, other than carbon freeze chambers and space syphilis.

So! Which of these solar sailors will reign supreme? You! Make! The! Call!

[Poll #1184637]

edit: Six hours later, and they're tied 26/26.

edit2: 24 hours later, and Han is ahead by a nose. Hmmm, should I close the poll?

While Kirk is not above cheating to win a fight, he would be distracted by any females in the vicinity. Besides, anyone who can constantly beat or evade Boba Fett is a mean muthafucker.

Boba Fett is overrated. Solo took him out while blind. Then he got eaten by a Sarlacc. He didn't even capture Han--Vader had to do the dirty work.

Would you prefer everyone judge your life based on your worst day?

Worst day nothing. What did Boba Fett actually accomplish in any of the movies? I can't help but agree with this comment (http://synergybc.livejournal.com/516997.html):

"No other character in cinematic history has produced a subsequent fan following so disproportionate to his actual on-screen accomplishments; nerds wearing Boba Fett costumes have probably killed more people than Boba Fett actually does in the trilogy."

Ah, that's the damned movies. In the books and short stories Fett lives up to his potential.

I was SO pissed at how they treated him in Jedi.
