Sidekicks Megapoll: Round 5: Samwise Gamgee vs Chewbacca

[Zeener Diode]

Samwise Gamgee



Many regard Sam Gamgee as the "true hero" of The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien himself expressed this view in one of his letters, referring to him as the "chief hero", with special emphasis placed on Sam's "rustic love" for Rosie. The quest to destroy the Ring would have failed without Sam, who repeatedly saves Frodo from disaster.


Chewbacca


"Let the Wookie Win"

"I saved him, at least that's what he says, the big fuzzy fool, but really, he saved me. I was on a bad path, and Chewie, he put me straight. Saved my shanks more than once too."
―Han Solo, on Chewbacca

[What Exit?]

Samwise literally carried his master through part of Mordor and up the slope of Mt. Doom, a freaking Volcano.

The Wookie is not as tough as this tiny little gardener. Hell Sam fought off a huge giant spider, one Shelob. What did the Wookie do to vaguely compare?

Don't let the Wookie win!

I wouldn't be upset if Sam wins it all.
