Below are the contestants.

Percy

The Scarlet Pimpernel, a vigilante Englishman who smuggles nobles out of a Revolutionary France. Always has a master plan.

Edmond

Edmond Dantes, or The Count of Monte Cristo, was thrown into jail for a crime he did not commit. He broke out, found some lost treasure, and swore revenge.

d'artagnan

D'artagnan, the fourth Muskateer. I think you all know him.

Weasley

Westley of The Princes Bride. AAAAAAS YOUUUUUUU WIIIIIIIIIIISH.

Zorro

And of course the Eternally Badass Zorro.

My money's on Westley.

"You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is 'never get involved in a land war in Asia' - but only slightly less well-known is this: 'Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line'! Hahaha!"

Yeah, one of my favorite movies.

I'ma go with Westley, the Man in Black. :oops:

The term swash meaning "the fall of a blow" and buckler as in "shield" is used for characters with a sword and/or shield.

A lightsaber isn't a sword, it's a rod of light.

It does have "saber" in its name, which is a type of sword.

But I guess you could call Luke Skywalker a swashbuckler.

I was agreeing with you.

And he does fit the original description: "one who screams menacingly while attacking his opponent's shield."

And of course the "shield" in Star Wars is the Force.

Oh, I wasn't speaking directly to you (sorry about quoting you). But yeah, you've got it right and its also got Star Wars under the Swashbuckler article for, "Indeed, adventure and disaster films were all the rage in the seventies with films like The Towering Inferno (1974), Earthquake (1974) and Jaws (1975), which also starred Shaw, and Swashbuckler was capitalizing on that and his success, albeit formulaic and budget minded. It also tapped into the trend of a revival of classic genres; other examples of this are Chinatown (Film noir) and Star Wars (serial/sci-fi)"
