Ok, I definitely need an explanation for how Order 66 is seeded at #16.

While the order may have a larger impact on the saga/galaxy, the giving is the order is so friggin cheesy

Also, Chewie's reaction to Leia's death is gut-wrenching.

By the way, when Sidious gives the order, he directly names out Commander Cody. Did he then contact the commander of every clone unit across the entire galaxy? How long would that have taken?

A quick google search confirms there are 16 clone commanders in the galaxy. So, wouldn't have taken more than a half hour, tops.

If I'm understanding it, #16 is just Ki-Adi-Mundi's death, and nothing else. So I guess I can understand the seeding.

But it brings up a bigger question -- "Execute Order 66" order given to Cody, and then blasting Obi-Wan, should really be in there.

Watching Clone Wars definitely bumps Cody turning on Obi-Wan up the list for me.

Ah yeah. But no "Execute order 66" in that one. I kind of think of that as a single scene.

Would you like me to edit the entry to include execute order 66 for clarification?

Are you including him saying "Execute Order 66" in that moment?

Also not sarcastic. If so, yes.

I looked at that first one and wondered if you seeded that way on purpose.

Nope, I'm not smart enough for that. I just rank them 1-16 in order of importance/personal taste.

a great Robot Chicken would be Palpatine being really sinister for the first few instances, then getting less and less interested in it as he goes down the list.

Great matchups today - both ROTS are separated by 1 vote after 9 hours.

A programming note, I will probably not start RO and Solo until Monday because I haven't even remotely worked on the seeding for Solo, even what the #1 seed should be.

And will probably not start the CW/Rebels/Mando brackets until the Tuesday after Memorial Day because I'll be out of town and I want to try and find video clips for all of them since they aren't as top of mind for most people as the movies, especially consider Clone Wars started 50 million years ago.

Vader's first breath is iconic and gave me goosebumps in the theater.

However, over the years, that shot of Yoda and Palps rising into the Senate gives me chills every time. Had to go with that.
Fat Bib Fortuna

I liked the Palps-Yoda fight a lot but I always have a streak of disappointment watching a fight that I know doesn't have a real conclusion to it. I really prefer the animatic version you can watch on Disney Plus where it's the Emperor who flees instead of Yoda feeling defeated.

If Yoda had killed Palpatine at that point what would have happened? Yoda becomes President of the Galaxy and tells the senate and the entire galaxy - oh hey, never mind that deal about us all being traitors.
