El33tonline's 'Kinect Star Wars Limited Edition Console Contest' Finalist has been chosen!

To celebrate the release of Kinect Star Wars this month, Xbox 360 South Africa decided it would be a great idea to give away a limited edition Xbox 360 console, custom designed to suit the Star Wars universe.

Sporting an R2-D2 Xbox 360 case, a shiny C-3PO controller and a slick white Kinect device, this console bundle is what fans’ dreams are made of!

To stand a chance of winning the prize and to become one of two finalists in the contest, we asked you to send in a poem styled in the form of ‘Yoda speak’ - a piece of poetic text that wouldn’t sound out of place being recited by our favourite green Jedi Master.

The quality of the entries was astounding and choosing our finalist in the competition was one of the most difficult deliberation tasks we’ve ever been faced with here at El33tonline - everyone can be extremely proud of their entries but our four-person panel of judges eventually had to choose one name.

Congratulations to Lance (aka Sparks17) for becoming one of two finalists in Xbox 360 South Africa’s competition!

Here is his entry again:

Green, I am, the Force my ally
The Darkness inside, I can’t abide by

Troubled times, the galaxy has seen
The Clone Wars era, man on machine

Young Skywalker, he fell, ablaze were his eyes
To Obi-Wan, his master, “I Hate You!” he cries

Warned him, I did, listened, he did not
Anakin, consumed, into evil he did rot

To save young Padme’, a Sith Lord he tried
But to no avail, his name out she cried

Do, or Do Not, There Is No Try
Said I to Luke, before I die

To face his father, go he must
Save the Galaxy, in him I trust

Yoda I am, and always will be
To you I say, The Force be with thee

As mentioned, the competition was incredibly close and we considered many, many different factors in deciding our finalist, but Sparks17 clinched it overall.

We heartily thank everybody for submitting their (quite frankly) jaw-dropping poems and texts - the skills on display had us almost literally going crazy trying to decide who to choose.

It’s now up to Xbox 360 South Africa to judge the entry from Sparks17 against the finalist chosen by Lazygamer in order to decide the ultimate winner and runner-up in the competition, and who will walk away with the Kinect Star Wars Xbox 360 bundle or the awesome Kinect Star Wars mug and keyring.

Good luck Sparks17!
