I don't think any contestant's entry for the fighter category had much in the way of storytelling. It's a single fighter with no context after all, so that's not something I'd hold against anyone.
When looking at all the other fantastic builds in all the categories, it's pretty obvious to me that my building abilities are way too far behind most people on here to compete, so I'm gonna stop entering contests and just pop up with a build for "Mysteries" now and then.
Might change my mind if there's ever a TIE variant contest, I've got a TIE Avenger on backlog that I'd call my best ever MOC with some certainty.
Cheers and again congrats to the winners, I'm still blown away by your creativity and abilites!
