>>6316933How is Aphra winning legitimately unfathomable to so many people? I get that y'all are still venting about your boy Ben Skywalker but I feel like there are pretty solid reasons behind Aphra's win.
Out of the characters listed she's the only one without an action figure whatsoever, and her having an eponymous comic that sells decently (42k as of issue 5) empirically demonstrates that there's a sizable fan population that's already spent money on the character.
If you look at the other options available it's not like she was exactly against what I'd call fierce competition. Against her were two background characters from ROTJ, another clone, and two characters who are pretty well represented in plastic.
