It was quite a blowout for Grand Admiral Thrawn. The blue-skinned wonder goes on to the semi-finals along with:

Anakin Solo
Captain Gilad Pellaeon

Since some of you missed the descriptions from round one, I'll summarize this round's contestants:

Talon Karrde--(Heir to the Empire) The galaxy's favorite know-it-all with a penchant for puns involving his name.
Tahiri Veila--(Junior Jedi Knights) Anakin Solo's true love, this bubbly blonde loves to talk and hates wearing shoes. Then she became half Yuuzhan Vong and she's been confused ever since.
Exar Kun--(Tales of the Jedi) The first guy in the SW universe to wield a Sith's double-bladed lightsaber.
Siri Tachi--(Jedi Apprentice) The closest Obi-Wan ever got to a girlfriend, this gifted Jedi could kick all kinds of butt.
Aayla Secura--(Republic) If Anakin was the Jedi Order's poster boy, then Aayla was its pinup girl. Did anybody ever talk to her about her sexpot outfits? Aayla's special because she made the transition from EU character to bona fide movie character, and therefore unquestionably part of the SW canon.
Xanatos--(Jedi Apprentice) Qui-Gon's failed pre-Obi-Wan apprentice, Xanatos turned to a life of eeeville and revenge, making him great fodder for all of those Q/O hurt-comfort fics.
A'Sharad Hett/Darth Krayt--(Republic) Half-Tusken Raider, half-human Jedi, Hett eventually became 100% trouble. At first, Hett was a hero of the Jedi Order. Then after Order 66, he felt he had to eliminate the Skywalker lineage by taking out Baby Luke. Obi-Wan kicked his you-know-what, and it all went downhill from there. After a torture session with Vergere, Darth Krayt was born.


[Poll #1120852]

The TOP THREE go on to the semi-finals.

Whoa, whoa, waitaminit here - I gather I'm not at all familiar with what must've been the pertinent events in one of the most recent comic arcs, since I actually last track of it all before what was the Republic series, come ROTS-time at any rate, apparently merged into something else like Empire or what have you, admittedly I'm not entirely clear on that one, but....hold on just a sec here, I remember the character of A'Sharad Hett from one o' the Republic issues where Anakin basically has it out with him, and really is forced to deal with him which is no small feat considering the fact that A'Sharad looks for all intents and purposes like a true Tusken Raider, so small wonder indeed the reason why Anakin would, at least to start with, obviously not be so much fond of the guy....oh, but *still*, then, is this *true*, what you're saying....that I gather it would've been in later comic issues, then....well, that A'Sharad - actually had every intention of *killing*....baby *Luke*?!?!

Oh, I sincerely wish you were joking, to be sure, yet alack-and-alas I know you're clearly not.... *rueful expression* ....and it just - oh, it's like there are no words to rightly describe it, then, at least none I can think of just now....or certainly none I can utter without turning the air a fine shade of blue, at any rate, because oh my *goodness*, it just - it seems to defy *all* fairness and justice and sense of sanity and reason in general, I should think, that a character like A'Sharad would stoop so appallingly low as to decide that he can take things into his own hands like that, and so callously and cruelly, contemptibly think that he can just go right ahead - and *slaughter* a tiny, innocent child like that, not just Anakin's wee *son* but Padme's too, and in the care of Owen and Beru, no less-!....*these* are the depths of depravity to which A'Sharad Hett would obviously sink?! Oh, the son of a bitch, pardon my Portuguese, but that *really* bloody well pisses me off....oh, how *dare* he?!

*smack* Bad A'Sharad Hett, bad, completely unacceptable, how dare you, no!! *repeated smacking* *promptly and vengefully punts him over a particularly tall, vast and endless cliff with some very sharp and jagged rocks waiting at the bottom* Grrrrrr, argh....oh, how *dare* he even try to mess with Anakin's own dear children, his precious progeny and flesh-and-blood, and his and Padme's too, after all.... *growling heatedly, all fired-up like at even the mere thought of it*

It's a long story, but yes, A'Sharad Hett ends up a bad guy.

I wasn't going to respond, but the mention of Darth Krayt got to me. I'm confused. I thought A'Sharad Hett had gone there to get revenge for the Tuskens killed by the settlers. I wasn't aware he learned about Luke being there until decades after.

Did the Wookieepedia article on him miss something?
