It's the finale of factions compared week, and we're tackling one of the most important questions in Star Wars who's got the best stash?
Hey guys, this is Eckhart slaughter hello and welcome to the most important video you will ever watch today
We're talking about one of my favorite things ever
Moustaches in the Star Wars universe. This is a topic that is very personal to me one Movember
I just grew a moustache then didn't shave it for like a year and although unfortunately
I'd no longer have it on my face. That was one of the best years of my life today
We'll be looking at the top dusters offered by the Rebel Alliance the Empire the Confederacy of Independent
Systems and of course the Republic and judging the entries all make reference to the rules used by the national beard and mustache
championship
Which says that in selecting the best mustache the judges will be asked to determine which contestants facial hair best enhances his overall appearance
Style and personality let's start with the Empire
And I know what you're probably thinking the Empire is heavily militaristic all about rules
I'm sure they don't even allow facial hair wrong
I will say it does look like the Empire prefers sideburns more than anything
I mean look at Chief Bast, General Tagge
Admiral Motti and Technician Paul treat them all of who are sporting very fuzzy cheeks
But we've also got a few contenders here for mustache
We've got Admiral Yularen that one guy from the Holiday Special and of course from legends warlords Zsinj and Captain Pellaeon
I'll go with Pellaeon because I think it's the bushiest of the bunch and really with all the works
He appears in it gets the most screen time
I think the mustache does a good job of enhancing his overall appearance style and personality
It helps him stand out from Thrawn who is totally
Regimented showing a bit of the gruffer side however unlike Zsinj the mustache is
Closely cropped showing that he's also a straight military, man
The mustache is incredible and really adds the dignified look of Pellaeon on who had become a very important character in the EU
Next up we have the Rebel Alliance and we're really swamped for choice here. There's many rebels with great facial hair
We've got bigs. We've got Dodonna. We've got Lando, but in my mind
There are really two standouts both with exceptional lip caterpillars first
We have Ledick Firest appears only for a split
Second in the Empire Strikes Back which in my opinion is a real shame giving him a run for his money is Rebel Officer Bob
Hudsol from A New Hope although Hudsol saw features more prominently in his movie and his facial hair is incredibly extravagant
I think I prefer the beautiful horseshoe style
Instantly memorable moustache of Colonel Firest in Legends the soldier had a fully formed
Backstory where he was initially a mercenary before joining the Rebel Alliance as an officer in the rebel military
He was responsible for coordinating ground defenses against the Imperial invasion of Hoth. He was a total badass
Not only did he orchestrate a successful evacuation against all odds allowing the Empire to take the shield generator
But not the evacuation staging area
But he also took his men and just sprinted towards a downed AT-AT
Somehow surviving and you know what I could tell you all of that without even seeing the movie and just looking at his mustache
It's unique one of the only horseshoe mustaches in the entire Star Wars saga
It also matches his personality perfectly it's like someone took a really tough biker and threw him on an ice planet
I mean look at this picture of him
manning a gun turret the fact that his character wasn't given a history after the Battle of Hoth is a real shame and I think
We as a community should come together and demand that from Lucasfilm. Unfortunately now
We're leaving the 70s and 80s and entering the dark era of Star Wars
moustaches sure facial hair still existed
But mostly it was in pure beard form let's start with the Republic and Dexter Jettster who has by far
The greasiest stache on this list and I know what you're saying hey DexterJjettster wasn't part of the Republic
He was his own private businessman shut up. He's included
He helped Obi-Wan Kenobi Dexter's mustache in my opinion does fit his personality as the owner of some greasy spoon
But it's really not very
Prominent I mean many people don't even realize that the alien has a mustache for one
It's competing with the sheer ridiculousness of his surroundings and the fact that he is forearms
And it's also almost the same color as his skin
I mean that's not his fault, but it does go against him when ranking mustaches the Republic does have good facial hair
I mean Sio Bibble of course has an amazing mustache
But I wanted someone with the mustache only not a mustache and a beard
You know - has sideburns in Episode I and of course Qui-Gon
Obi-Wan and many others have full beards next up. We have the Confederacy of Independent Systems and guys, I'm gonna be completely honest
I was about to record my whole thing on who I thought had the best mustache
I didn't think the Confederacy really had any good candidates
I was just gonna go with Count Dooku until I stumbled across something glorious
I knew there must be something better out there, so I googled Separatist mustache
And what would you know I found a Wikipedia article on a guy named Unger gout?
Unger gout was from an issue of the Clone Wars comics that I may or may not have read a long time ago
I don't quite remember, so I'm not gonna talk about the lore
I just want to look at that amazing mustache so Unger is a member of the core my who are basically
walrus people this helps explain his thick prominent and
Beautiful mustache and when combined with his large and beefy frame
I think it makes a very interesting look
he sort of reminds me of a combination between actor slash Liberty Medical spokesman Wilford Brimley and
NHL coach Paul MacLean and to be frank those are two of the most well liked
Mustaches in the game according to wiki his species also rides a sort of hairy worm
Which is another mustache connection and that's another point for him with our four pieces of facial foilage out of the way
Let's now rank our mustaches from worst to best and I say worst
But really all the whiskered entries are winners in my book coming in at number four is
Dexter Jettster and let's be honest Dex never rally had a chance. He's got four arms, which already
Distracts you from his face the fact that his moustache is basically the same color as the rest of his body makes things fairly
Difficult for him like a white man with a blond mustache
I appreciate the effort and the greasy stache does fit his position
But he nonetheless in at the final spot with what I'm sure will be a controversial pick at number
Three is the walrus man of the sea is and I don't mean this walrus, man. I mean this walrus, man
His moustache is huge
It's incredibly extravagant, and I suppose it fits what I've read on Wikipedia about him. However at this point
It's almost such a cliche that I don't know there's something about it that I don't quite like we've got a full
mustachioed species
And I don't think any one moustache wearer is as iconic as the following two entries at number two is the second most famous
Moustache in the galaxy. We're not talking about lamb know who has the number one position instead
We're talking Admiral Pellaeon
It's famous but famous in and of itself doesn't suggest
Quality however Pellaeon backs up the talk with a thick, but also well
Cut stache a sash that says not only that I've been in the military for a long time
but also that I can probably chug a beer faster than you doesn't however reach the sheer levels of Awesomeness as
Colonel Firest
I don't think there's been a mustache in the history of mankind
That has so well matched its wearer and as I said before if I had to pick a man out of a lineup to lead
The Evacuation of Hoth on the ground I would have picked him he only
thinly beats out Pellaeon
And I think both men basically have the perfect mustaches with very few improvements that they could make
Jettster and the walrus come in close, but these two are in a league of their own that being said in Star Wars all
Mustaches are subservient to one
Until next time may the force be with you
