Please explain why?



Also, I'm personally torn between Hermione and Leia. I like Hermione's focus on confronting bigotry and sheer brilliance and familiarity with our world, but also Leia's willingness to break through the bureaucracy and vast experience and initiative (though she might be too decentralist for me on domestic issues)... and both are great at being alert and willing to confront any threats.

I'm open-minded to Aragorn too, though we don't know much about how he actually ruled, other than it was long and peaceful and just and prosperous and he granted autonomy to the Shire and Druadan and expanded territory without conquest while apparently being hands-off.

I just don't think I'd vote for Jon Snow: he isn't bad, but he's not as good as these other three.

Hermione is more fiscally conservative whilst Leia is more socially conservative.
?

How?

Both Hermione and Leia are socially liberal, though Hermione is probably moreso. Leia favors decentralized government, and we don't know Hermione's opinion on that. Both support standing strong and being alert to any potential threat.

Hmm, while I think Jon will emerge the clear winner and hero... I'm wondering if I should have replaced him with Daenerys Targaryen in this poll.

With the GoT season 7 finale, it's a good time to bring this back!

With Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and Season 7 of Game of Thrones, what do people think now? Cheesy

The main saga of Star Wars, and the TV series Game of Thrones, will both conclude this year.

Who do we think?

Hermione is very socially liberal, supporting the rights of House-Elves, getting rid of any lingering bias against muggleborn/mudbloods like herself or people like Hagrid who are half-giant, and probably full rights for Centaurs, Merpeople, Goblins, etc. too.
