It's March Madness time again, and like NCAA Basketball, StarWars.com is getting into the tournament frame of mind once again. In their fourth consecutive year of the "This is Madness!" character tournament (see: popularity contest), they're once again pitting the light side against the dark side, with the light side hoping for a return to the victory circle after Darth Vader won in 2015 (Yoda and Obi-Wan were the previous winners).

Over at Wookieepedia, you can try to Predict the Madness, choosing who you think will win. Remember: this isn't strictly a "who would beat who" (though if you want to make up those matches on your own, they could be fun); this is pure fan-vote popularity. There are some great prizes for the lucky Star Wars fans that win, though:

5th Place - Hasbro RC BB-8, Hasbro Black Series 6-in Figure, SMS Audio Star Wars Headphones (Boba Fett)

4th Place - All of the above, plus Clone Trooper Bust Bank from Diamond Select

3rd Place - All of the above, plus LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales DVD

2nd Place - Same as third place, with an R2-D2 Bank instead of Clone Trooper

1st Place - All of the above, plus Darth Vader Neon Sign from Diamond Select

The bracket this year adds in characters from The Force Awakens plus additions from Rebels, throwing some nice Wren-ches into the mix (that was a Sabine pun).

Check out the full bracket above (right-click and "view image" to enlarge), and get yours in before the tournament begins March 14, 2016!
