Why do you think that is?

Probably, for me, because I already knew about Vader in the suit...combined with the lame Nooooo right after. Plus, the first person pov of looking through the lenses was weird and felt out of place. I guess another reason is because we already had a nice scene of his helmet lowering in Empire.

I'm binge watching clone wars right now and getting close to finishing season 3....might have to avoid the specific contest on that one cause odds are won't be through the whole series by then

The Rogue One and Solo brackets are now live.

VOTE HERE!

I left off your favorite Rogue One moment? Hey, tough ***** Do the contest yourself next time!

You can't remember what I'm talking about in Solo because you didn't like it and only saw it once? I have a few options for you.

1) You could have YouTubed it in the time you spent crafting your whiner response.
2) Don't vote for that one!
3) Nobody cares about your feelings.

You seem to be going down a dark path the more you do these brackets. But hey, as long as we're entertained.

I just like having to quote for all the inevitable "OMG HOW DID YOU PUT MY FAVORITE MOMENT #9 INSTEAD OF #6!" posts that come every time a new bracket goes up.*

* = this is not directed at Brian Earl Spilner, who is both a scholar and a gentleman. Hey Brian, I learned a really interesting thing about the fast and furious franchise that I didn't know before while writing a book about Puerto Rico recently - which movie has Vin Diesel and Paul Walker and the girl being chase by Dwayne Johnson over a set of rooftops that are supposedly in Brazil?

Also, I think we all know the Rogue One bracket should be subtitled "Who wants to finish 2nd?"

Fast Five. What did you learn?

Edit: Oh, that it filmed in PR, I take it. Would not have known that.
Fat Bib Fortuna
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I wrote a book with a former Aggie basketball player who lives in Puerto Rico now and plays professionally.

Naranjito is by and large your typical small Puerto Rican town, but all that changed in 2010 when a Hollywood movie crew descended on the town to shoot an action scene for Fast Five - the fifth installment of the very popular The Fast and the Furious series of movies. The town doubled as Rio De Janeiro in an action scene in which Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster, and the late Paul Walker flee across rooftops while being pursued by an FBI agent played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. All of the actors did their own stunts at times, including jumping 30 feet off a roof onto a mat. More than 13,000 locals played extras during the scene. The movie being filmed there contributed $27 million to the economy of Naranjito.

That $27 million was like 4 years of GDP for that town. Pretty cool story - sorry to derail my own thread!

Lives in PR, or was also born in PR?

Edit: I'm pretty sure I know which player you are talking about, but are we not supposed to say the name for some reason?
Fat Bib Fortuna

It's Chinemelu Elonu, I did a whole thread about working with him in the A&M Basketball forum. He was definitely not born in Puerto Rico.

I thought it was Tyler Davis, who apparently is Puerto Rican and now plays professionally there. He also was not born in PR...

First round is complete! No upsets to be seen, although I'm disappointed there wasn't more love for Lando and the Calrissian Chronicles; that was my biggest laugh of Solo.

Second round should prove tougher, especially for the Rogue One matchups sans the tops seed.

This one is pretty surprising. #8 was also a fantastic moment.

I can't even tell you guys how much of a joy I had doing the contestants for Rebels, Clone Wars, and Mando. Definitely going to try to find video for all of them, and disappointed I have to wait until Tuesday to roll them out, but will be outta town this weekend.

Vader hallway still tops for me though

I'm binge watching the clone wars series right now....almost half way through season 4....won't be fully done with it by the next round but loving this show so far

I also rooted for the Leia moment, that movie just takes you on a ride of moments the last 30 minutes or so. But K2 is probably the most popular new SW character of the last 5 years, tied with mando and The Child.

Maul I feel has benefited from his great final arc in Clone Wars in the Solo voting.

I didn't like the CGI on Leia. I also didn't like the "hope" comment as it was too forced imo. If she had just turned...or even better just showed the guard with the death star plans walking up to her and showing her hairstyle from behind so you know its her....it would have been 100 times better.

Just watched the final 4 episodes of Clone Wars. Good luck picking the best scenes. Those as a group were better than pretty much any of the films.

ugh....finding this out earlier was the final straw on making me decide to binge watch....

After the first few episodes I went on IMDB cause I was curious how in general the episodes rated and decided to go to season 7...

Literally the last for episodes of season 7 are either 9.8 or 9.9 / 10.

I'm mid-way through the slavery episode series right now in season 4....

Have to say my favorite stories line so far as been general Krell with the revolt with the clones and also the prequel episode with domino squad and finding out at the end they were in other episodes prior to that

Seeing a 4 armed Jedi with two dual lightsabers was just so badass

General Krell is definitely in the Clone Wars bracket.
