Yeah. But seriously, the vote will take around a week, don't be afraid to change votes people! Let the Vulture girlfailure win!

My character concept for him is that only he knows what model he was originally. He's fought for so long in the undercity and lost and replaced so many parts no one can tell what bit is original. When he signed up for the Republic military one of the engineers giving him a physical exploded that he doesn't just belong in a museum, he belongs in seven different museums covering different eras of the galaxy.
Former Jedi Droid? Is he an Iron Knight?

Edit: Something I just noticed is that
Palpatine got mogged by Jar-Jar failing upwards in the last quest, we need to continue mogging him with the most crack option available in the form of a vulture droid girlfailure, we need to make him pop a blood vessel by absolutely refusing to play his game seriously.
He's playing chess, we're eating the pieces and honking our clown noses at him.

Nah, Human Jedi who became a Cyborg over time
See, left the order after his sixth mission as a Jedi Explorer Corps member into the Outer Rim, as he didn't want poltics to stop him from doing what was right.
After 50 years spent trying to fight the various evils in the Outer Rim on his own, losing a majority of his body and almost falling to the Dark Side, a fall that was stopped by Chancellor Jar Jar Binks actions (In Canon Star Wars, I imagine he fell hard and died because of Darkside Madness)
This led to him taking up a new identity and becoming a Senator, as Jar Jar rekindled his faith in the Republic and Democracy, not to mention it inadvertently got him to take a look at himself and decide he didn't like who he was.
In spite of his Jedi Background, he doesn't actually use the Force directly that often, preferring to relay on what nudges it gives him and his own skill with blaster or words to end fights.
He did have a Lightsaber, but he lost a long time ago, not that he really cares that much, as the reason he lost it was "worth it", whatever that reason is, though, isn't something he talks about.

Wait I just realised something-
Since the quest will be taking place in the clone wars, it's safe to say that there's a good chance that the battle of Coruscant is going to happen in some way and - if capturing the Chancellor is a canon event regardless of who it is - there's a very real chance that Anakin and Obi-Wan will be fighting Dooku while a Vulture Droid is captured next to them
"Chancellor? How did they even...?"
"It's a long story- oh look a distraction Dooku! You're good with Sith Lords, right?"
(We need a running gag that Venari ends up squeezing into places that - by all accounts - should be impossible for her to fit into, like she's just in the chancellor's office, or squeezed through a doorway that's sized for a Humanoid stature)
Grrrr Imgur is being a pain again-

But it's not a joke. Having a droid as the supreme chancellor is very narratively compelling and follows up well on the previous quest.

Not to mention (And I know I keep talking about it but I am very passionately invested in the idea) the crack potential of a droid like VN-2035 coupled with the seriousness of it
On the surface level, she can be the silly, funny girlfailure who's been thrust into a position of power without even being a senator and having big shoes to fill.
But on a deeper level, she's everything that Jar-Jar had championed about Droid Emancipation, she's an ex-member of the Trade Federation / Confederacy that had been pretty much built as a slave to fight and die for a conglomerate stamping on democracy because it's working against them, it's about a droid who's been thrust from a life of constant servitude into a position where she now has to fight - not only for her own freedom, but for the freedom of an entire galaxy against a Sith Lord pulling the strings
VN-2035 can be played either completely straight, full-crack or a delightful mix of both depending on what Magoose picks, and for a successor to Jar-Jar and a sequel to his quest I feel like there's only one option that truly feels like it fits.
Tarkin isn't a great leader, he's a good general and admiral but in terms of ruling a state at war, he might slip into canon-Tarkin and start ruling through fear
Orion Pax expy doesn't exactly feel like it has the same potential for crack (and considering that a big part of the last quest was dunking on Palpatine and making him pop a blood vessel at every opportunity, I feel like we'd be losing something if we sacrifice the crack)
I'm biased, but VN-2035 feels like she's the right balance of crack and serious that can follow in the Bombad Chancellor's footsteps.

I don't think so, for one I don't like such bluntant expies in such carbon copy way and I am sure a a lot of people are voting there because it has a picture of Optimus Prine and two I genuine think it is too soon for having a droid chancellor.
Like in universe you are not even giving people time to even understand droid are even people and suddenly one of them is a chancellor.
And well Tarkin is now genuine loyal to the Republic this time, was a member of Binks administration and was responsible to recreate the Republic military
I think it is very compeling you have such charactwr that enter in office to lead the Republic in war and have full plans to retire after the war is over.
Like Binks restore his faith into the Republic to such a extent he now wants ti lead it.

I don't agree with this. I think that the overwhelming support of Jar Jar transferring onto a droid is consistent with the inline narratives. I should also note that droids have been around for many years, so it's not a question of "understanding" them as much as it is "viewing them as legitimate beings" which again, given Jar Jar's support, most people do.
I think that Tarkin is a more qualified candidate but I also don't think that it's a meaningful factor since Jar Jar was also very unqualified and was very successful and the buffs from him being an outsider are pretty strong.
You not liking expies is your business and also a bit of a moot point.

When that bill was signed to acknoldge Droids sentients beings the QM even said taht is something that is not going to happen overnight nor it will swallow well to a lot of poeple.
I amean as such once again you are not giving people enough for the idea droid as people to sink in.
They are equal on law not in society and much less culturally.
Because it was the Senate that approve the bill not the people.
I am not even sure it was a topic even debated by people before that bill was assigned.

Frankly speaking, I have an objective reason to vote for Tarkin. The structure of the Galactic Republic is too reminiscent of a mixture of the Roman Republic and the USA - that's why I want a radical reworking of the entire system. Even if it means using the military.

I mean, no one said the Droids can't do it either.
And if I'm honest here, I don't see Tarkin doing anything like reworking the Republic in such a massive way, he'd focus solely on the War and that's it.
The man is a good Military Leader, but not a Civilian Leader, he'd only change the Republic that massively if it got in his way of trying to take down the Separatists, even the new Tarkin, he's just... not that much of a Visionary.

Agree plus he does actually get a appreciation for Binks so you know, is likely Jar Jar make a apperance here and there.
Plus it is deep ironic a character that is so deeply connected to the Empire in cannon trying to save the Republic.

Well, if it were possible to nationalize the property of corporations associated with separatists as a form of confiscation and mobilize the economy under the slogan "Everything for the Front - Everything for Victory", then that would be good.

... Communism, the phrase you're looking for, is Communism, and that didn't really work out well the last time someone tried it on a large scale, now did it?
Also, I can already see the headlines
"SUPREME CHANCELLOR TARKIN VIOLATES CIVILIAN FREEDOM FOR THE WAR: FREEDOM FIGHTER OR FUTURE DICTATOR?"
