Hanleia, Wrightworth and Klavipollo for the ship ask!!
Hanleia:
I love these two. The Legends canon is my preferred Han/Leia, but original trilogy Han/Leia is a close second. Sequel trilogy Han/Leia is my least favorite and I haven't really seen any of the new Extended Universe versions of them, but... since their endpoint is now the sequel trilogy I imagine I wouldn't be super thrilled by them.
Why do I ship it?: So I was first exposed to Star Wars at a very young age as part my dad's successful scheme to turn me into a sci-fi nerd. Which means Han/Leia might be my very first belligerent UST ships. While I do find Han's behavior on the Falcon during The Empire Strikes Back a bit questionable, ultimately in Return of the Jedi he was willing to back off when he thought he'd misread Leia's interest in him and that she was actually in love with Luke. I think that's ultimately why I like them as a ship so much - they bicker and it's fun to listen to; yet while they may push each others buttons, Han respects Leia's boundaries and agency when it counts.
What are your favorite things about the ship?: So, as I mentioned, I like them best in the Legends EU best, especially once they get married. Han is always supportive of Leia, Leia loves Han for who he is and not who she thinks she can 'fix' him to be, and they are such good parents once the twins and then Anakin show up. They still bicker and tease each other, but they've learned to communicate extremely well.
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?: I don't know that I do. I don't like that they're broken up in the sequels. While I get that love might not be enough to keep them together after their son decided to become a white supremacist... er... Sith wannabe, they just aren't really the characters I grew up with. But as I'm not the only person who feels that way, it's hardly an unpopular opinion.
Wrightworth:
Why do I ship it?: I think the moment I learned they were childhood friends and the Phoenix had become a lawyer in order to see Miles again, I was hooked. And once Miles learns the truth about his past, the way he relaxes around Phoenix is just delightful. The two of them care about each other and are soft for each other and I adore that so much.
What are your favorite things about the ship?: Their unwavering faith in each other. Phoenix never once believes that Miles is a murderer. And when Phoenix is disbarred, Miles never really believed that Phoenix would fake evidence. And when they need each other? They show up. When Miles wouldn't protect himself, Phoenix insisted on protecting him over Miles' protests. And when Phoenix was in over his head when Maya was kidnapped, Miles jumped at the opportunity to come back to help.
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?: Probably not for this either? I do see both of them being arospec, so me interpreting their relationship as being queerplatonic instead of romantic would probably be an unpopular headcanon amongst the arophobic, but who cares what arophobes think anyway?
Klavipollo:
Why do I ship it?: They're adorkable. Klavier is a cheerful menace and Apollo is a bit of a nervous wreck and I really enjoy the way their dynamics play off each other.
What are your favorite things about the ship?: Klavier has very understandable reasons to dislike Apollo and instead he still adores his precious Herr Forehead. Apollo was involved in unveiling that beneath their smiling facades both Klavier's brother and best friend were calculating murderers. And yet Klavier clearly continues to enjoy Apollo's company. Apollo is clearly confused by Klavier's attention, but that's just part of the fun of their interactions.
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?: Not really.

idk if you're still doing these but how do you think the animorphs would do against the original X-Men?
[Obligatory joke about the X-Men having an advantage because they cloned Jake to make Bobby.]
Animorphs Advantages
Trust in leadership. Full offense to Scott, but he can be bossy and overbearing to the point where it causes infighting. Jake's team will not hesitate to go up against impossible odds at his command, and basically never questions his orders in the heat of battle.
Flight hours. Warren might outweigh Tobias by a good 200 pounds, but he doesn't spend literally 15+ hours a day 7 days a week flying around hunting. And Tobias gets very good at taking out bigger opponents like David's golden eagle or the helmacron ship.
Adaptability. The Animorphs can survive in most environments most of the time, and are nigh unkillable. Jean can be taken out by a rock to the head. Scott can be taken out by a rock to Jean's head.
X-Men Advantages
Coordinated attacks. They can and do hit their enemies from multiple fonts at once: Warren goes high while Hank goes low, Jean goes mental as Bobby goes physical, so on. The Animorphs' weapons are all variations on hitting or stabbing their enemies up close.
Sheer raw power. Scott can punch a hole in a mountain. Jean may or may not be able to destroy entire planets. Bobby can make an entire city in the time it takes Scott to level one.
The fact that they actually go to school. Hank's obviously the one with the big advantage over the C- average high school dropouts, but Scott, Bobby, and Jean are also smart enough to be teachers in some continuities.
Animorphs Disadvantages
Distance. This is always their drawback, but they only have melee attacks. Scott, Jean, and Bobby can all attack from half a mile away.
Leaky communication. A ton of their strategy depends on being able to talk to each other without their enemies hearing. Even if they figure out that Jean can hear every word they're saying, they're going to be massively hampered by their inability to talk privately during battles.
X-Men Disadvantages
Compassion. Assuming that this is winner-take-all no-holds-barred fight, the X-Men will not only hesitate to kill, but are likely to stop fighting if one of their own is killed. The Animorphs have no such pangs of conscience, or at least don't let those stop them.
Lack of control. All of them are, to some extent, afraid of their own powers or hesitant to use them. You don't see Rachel beating herself up about what'd happen if she let the beast win or got too much phoenix power.
Conclusion: I'm giving this one to the mutants. Sorry, morphers.
