Today’s poll comes from a debate RPadholic smartguy had with his wife, which was then carried over to the RPad.TV Live Chat. Who would win in a fight between Darth Vader from Star Wars and Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter? In one corner, you have the second-most powerful practitioner of the dark side of the force. In the other, you have the undisputed master of the dark arts (in wizardry terms…though Voldemort is pretty good with charcoal pencils). While the man formerly known as Tom Riddle is a bit more spry, the man formerly known as Anakin Skywalker has cybernetic appendages that help compensate for his mobility (seriously, have you ever seen Darth Vader run?).
This is a great nerd debate that I’d love to argue about over several alcoholic beverage. For now, let’s discuss things in a sober and civil fashion. Kindly vote in today’s poll and explain your answer in the comments section (please!). Avada kedavra vs. force choke — fight!!!

Vader hands down. Force choke. Sees the future AND can react quicker.
Vader conquered a galaxy and killed the Jedi….Voldemort couldn’t beat some kids at a school.
Technically Palpatine conquered a galaxy and Vader joined him. So he inherited the galaxy??
I say Vader because he’s a Sith Lord!
I have to say that Darth Vader wins this one. Voldemort can’t do much without a wand, whereas Darth Vader still has the Force at his disposal. As soon as he figures out the wand is V’s source of power, he’d disarm his opponent. The only way Voldemort wins is if he uses the death curse at the start AND manages to hit him.
