    That's because Obi-Wan is better than Anakin. There, I said it.

    Anakin had greater potential... but Obi-Wan all the way!

    Agreed completely - Obi-Wan was the true Jedi - always sticking to the code, always ensuring the Council’s rules were upheld and order was maintained. He should have been the Chosen One really because he was the exemplary Jedi, using peaceful negotiations first and only resorting to his skills with a Lightsaber afterwards, and it would have been great to see him defeat Palpatine once and for all. I also think Ewan did a perfect job of bringing a younger version of Sir Alec Guinness’ excellent older version to the Prequels, as he’s different in that he shows that sense of vigour youth has, but also maintains a portion of the eloquent, peaceful character that Guinness portrayed. Certainly Obi-Wan is one of my favourite Star Wars characters of all, both the young and old versions.

    No Yoda?

    Not a lot of force power in your group. Obi-Wan is a solid choice though.

    Chirrut has quite a lot of force power. I've found in an EU text that Force users have been known to strengthen wooden quarterstaffs with the Force to allow them to deflect Lightsaber blows, so I imagine that's what Chirrut does. Zombies aren't exactly going to be force-pushing everyone are they?

    Perhaps I could use a Jedi as a Force healer though rather than that medical droid.

    In contrast with the other major force users of the series, Chirrut is fairly weak. I can see the value in his calm and thought out demeanor though.

    Via your inclusion of General Grevious, I assume that the rules of this scenario dictates that the characters in the team would get along regardless of allegiance. If that is the case, why no Sidious?

    as long as you have the resources to keep them running, droids are probably a very good choice. They don't sleep, cannot be bitten and turned into zombies, and so on.

    Yes I am assuming that. I didn’t choose Sidious because he is a truly selfish character and he would most likely let the others all die to allow himself to live, which isn’t the point of this exercise. Grievous meanwhile has no objection to any of the other characters except for Obi-Wan, and I imagine Obi-Wan could still keep him in line. I also included the Stormtrooper because he would make excellent fodder, especially in large hordes.

    If the exercise includes the character's intrinsic natures, then you are most definitely correct in avoiding Sidious. However, by that same logic why pick Grevious as you weapons expert over someone like Mace Windu? Windu is a lot more stable and trustworthy and he could kill Grevious with ease. What advantage does Grevious possess over Windu?

    Also, why no Yoda? Yoda is both stronger and wiser than anyone you chose. He would be my first pick.

    He has a few lightsabers, nothing more. Windu could take him down at will.

    Other than the obtuse information that it's a BA MF'er like Samuel L. Jackson playing Windy, what is your reasonibg?

    Mace Windu is described as one of the best fighters in the Jedi Order, much better than Obi-Wan presumably. And Obi-Wan killed Grievous.
