Preview: Duel of the Fates - April 8, 2017

Named after the EPIC musical score in Episode I, when Darth Maul does the unthinkable to Qui Gon Jinn, April brings us...THE DUEL OF THE FATES!!!

Seriously - this song is the most stressful in the Star Wars catalog.  I'm already breaking out in fits and hives just thinking about it!

HISTORY:

2015 - Curtis guided Obi-Wan Kenobi to that character's first career victory, all in the Emperor's Throne Room.

2016 - Alex won his fourth and final Duel with Count Dooku by fending off Blake, who was playing in his first (and only) match.

MEET THE DUELERS:

Austin - the junior class president candidate hopes to take his politicking to the Duel board and carry the swing states.

Daniel - after a long hibernation, Daniel's busy social schedule (*cough, girlfriend, cough*) has opened up and he's ready to rock.

Grant - "Mr. Fifth Place" broke his streak at the Imperial March, finishing in a disappointing seventh.

Ian - his Imperial March saw him slide from first to worst, when Grant and Rob picked on his poor Yoda.  Those two hope Ian is of the forgiving sort.

JD - the trophy master has yet to win one of his own creations...can he keep his latest work of art?

Joel - this is an exciting match for Joel, he'll reach professional status.  Congrats Joel!!!

Kaleb - the HRC Chaplain took a Duel off to regather his strength as he once again prepares for the long climb to a first victory.

Liz - Liz celebrated her switch to professional status with her worst career showing at the Imperial March.  She's hoping to rebound this time around.

Nathan - after winning A New Hope, Nathan disappeared from the scene.  But he's back and hoping to add to his hardware.

Rob - this might not even be Rob's biggest game of the day!  The 7 year old girl's soccer team he coaches face their biggest match of the season against LA ARMADA!  Can his Lady Bandits beat their long time nemesis???

Samuel - this rookie Dueler nearly secured Luke Skywalker's first career victory in Waco at the Imperial March, but he was done in by Stephen's Dooku.

Stephen - he was part of the sneaky flip at the Imperial March and landed an impressive second place finish for his efforts!

MAGNETIC LEGO ADMIRAL ACKBAR PREDICTS THE WINNER:

My god!  After predicting the winner last month, somebody encased him in carbonite!  The horror!  That must mean he thinks HAN SOLO will bring home the victory.

Magenetic Lego Admiral Ackbar's Prediction Record:

2-8

Well folks, I'm sure Saturday night will be a terrible fate for all but one...feel free to come out and watch the calamity!
