BEST RECREATION EPISODE VI Use your Star Wars figures, props and vehicles, to recreate a scene from Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (including deleted scenes). Only real scenes that were actually filmed are allowed. Maximum 4 pictures - Picture titles MUST begin with "bca12-1" WORST CHEWBACCA FIGURE Though Han Solo's famous sidekick is easily recognized by fans, not all toy makers managed to capture the Wookiee's likeness properly. Show us the worst, most unrealistic and un-lifelike Chewbacca figure you own. Maximum 4 pictures - Picture titles MUST begin with "bca12-2" BEST FAST FOOD COLLECTION Whether you're talking cup toppers, watches, or toys, fast food franchises have brought out an array of items for Star Wars fans. This category can include anything and everything given away by, sold at, or used as display for fast food restaurants (such as but not limited to, McDonald's, Burger King, & Taco Bell). Maximum 4 pictures - Picture titles MUST begin with "bca12-3" BEST EXPANDED UNIVERSE FIGURE COLLECTION The Star Wars expanded universe is made up (mainly) of comics, novels, and games. Let us see all of your figures show characters as they are not seen in the Star Wars movies or Clone Wars television series, but instead how they are in expanded universe materials. Maximum 4 pictures - Picture titles MUST begin with "bca12-4"
