Star Wars
42% across 189 head-to-head matchups puts Star Wars on the wrong side of average. No round offers a foothold — below average at every stage. 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 round-by-round confirms the overall picture: 44% to 37% to 47%. Star Wars hasn't found a round where it consistently competes — the deficit is across the board.
Alien at 50% is as close to a dead heat as the platform produces. Every vote matters in this one. The extremes tell a clear story — 67% against Schindler's List at one end, 20% against Blade Runner 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.
