Fans’ Choice Poll Closing at 3:00 PM ET

Time’s running out!  Get your vote in bef- ....eh, don’t bother.  Looks like a landslide in favor of someone named Doctor Aphra.  I’m not sure if she is a medical practitioner or a holder of an accredited academic degree.  Old Man Palps is the OT leader, tying for a distant third place.  The votes of the three OT characters combined are still crushed by this newcomer. 

Why is this?  Are we old school collectors not the powerful voice we think we are?  Are we no longer representative of the collecting community?  Do those that currently and regularly patrol the various collecting fan sites prefer new characters from the television cartoons?  Has the 40 year history of our beloved franchise divided fans into two irreconcilable twenty-year eras?
