A number of fans including JosiahRises were quick to point out that the original Star Wars characters easily trounced the new Disney versions.
Surprise, surprise. Original trilogy characters by a landslide.

One fans even suggested Rey and Finn be replaced by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. While others expressed they were voting for Anakin and Obi-wan.
Rey and Fin should be replaced by Anakin and Obi-wan

There were also a number of other suggestions including Baze Malbus and Chirrut Imwe from Rogue One, Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex from The Clone Wars animated series, and K2-SO and Cassian Andor.
I believe that should be obvious. pic.twitter.com/4mNhG2VFuQ

I’m personally surprised there weren’t more people suggesting Luke and Han Solo or even Han Solo and Lando Calrissian. What’s a friendship without a little bit of a betrayal and then a massive reconciliation and redemption?
