1st: SithBot's Ulic - This was one of my favorites from the start, but changing F3R1 to F4 sealed the deal. This is exactly what WotC beatsticks were like - awkward lack of ranged defense, and even more awkward lack of Force points. Soooo many Jedi died having awkwardly spent all of their Force points on the first two rounds of engagement, and then limped along without any defense or mobility for the rest of the game.

2nd: jen'ari's Luke - I'm a sucker for pieces with 10 damage and lightsaber, and you did this one really well. I feel like he almost has too many abilities, but it's really okay. He's another WotC archetype - unless you go crazy on JMT, his Renewal serves no purpose other than spamming one defensive ability.

(ironic how the big pieces that can live a long time usually missed FR, but the small pieces that only lived long enough to spend 2-3 FP got Renewal)

3rd: Lafcadio's Captain Gregor - It was a huge toss-up for 3rd, but what really won out in the end was that CE. It's awesomely thematic - which WotC CEs were, quite often - and yet, it also has an awkward oversight. Evading Mouse Droids is just the thing WotC would let slip through. Aside from that, the piece is really cool - kind of Dash-Rendar like in the unusual coordination of his abilities.

Honorable mention goes to donny's Kyber Cryrstalsmith - that is total WotC as well. The unnecessary restriction to non-Unique is a nice WotC touch (no offense if that isn't how you meant it, but early WotC seemed painfully afraid of boosting Uniques in any meaningful way, and spammed the "non-unique" caveat whenever they could).
