Star Wars
46% across 162 head-to-head matchups puts Star Wars on the wrong side of average. The record is below the midline, but the distance is not insurmountable. The film that invented the modern blockbuster carries institutional weight no competitor can match. The question is whether reverence translates to active preference, or whether voters treat it as the safe pick they feel obligated to make.
Synopsis
Princess Leia is captured and held hostage by the evil Imperial forces in their effort to take over the galactic Empire. Venturesome Luke Skywalker and dashing captain Han Solo team together with the loveable robot duo R2-D2 and C-3PO to rescue the beautiful princess and restore peace and justice in the Empire.
The opening at 52% are where Star Wars looks like a real competitor. The rest of the bracket — 37% in the semis — is where the overall record drags it down.
Alien is the nearest thing to a true rival at 53%. The margin is slim and the outcome still feels unsettled. The extremes tell a clear story — 67% against The Avengers at one end, 20% against Aliens at the other.
Original or Sequel? Classic Sci Fi is Star Wars's bracket: it clears the early rounds consistently but meets its ceiling in the final against Blade Runner (20%).
Dead last in Original or Sequel? Classic Sci Fi.
