It is a testimony to these great films that are only 2 100%ers in the round of 64.

Thanks! With the nerd level I know is in this thread, I can admit that I took about 3 hours to seed them last night. while also playing Burgertime on the Apple IIE emulator I found and downloaded during the first month of the coronavirus.

Rebels' signature moment eliminates ROTS battle by pencil-thin margin to highlight first round


The pivotal moment in which Ahsoka Tano confronts her former master Anakin Skywalker, declaring herself "no Jedi", pulled the biggest upset of the Star Wars mega tournament Monday. Ranked as the 12th seed in the Theed bracket, it defeated the 5th seeded Yoda/Sidious fight as the platform rises into the Senate chamber from Revenge of the Sith by a 56%-44% margin.
"Apparently people have gotten over our terrible animation style and watched our show," said Tano, the plucky Togrutan.

I've got one dead heat and two more where the margin is 4 votes or less.

As Obi-Wan Kenobi once told Tion Meddon on Utapau, if you have voters, the time is now.

We are down to the Sweet 16 today. The cream is rising to the top. The OT takes command, as it does in nearly every competition we have. The prequels are down to 2 moments. The sequels are down to 2, and Rogue One has its Cedric Diggory still going strong.

Pretty much. I could make an argument for the opening shot of the Tantive IV and Star Destroyer being worthy over the Rogue One scene, but not over "I am your father".

I agree. The opening shot dwindles in its significance every year that goes by because there are fewer and fewer of us who saw it first on the big screen when nothing else of that scope existed. I'd be fascinated to know the average age of TexAgs SW contributing posters.

And while I get nostalgia....there's no way anyone can convince me the opening 15 seconds of ANH after the text scroll is better than Vader going ape **** in RO

And yes I know I'll never understand how amazing it was the first time it happened on the big screen back in the day for the olds....

I'm 46. My dad took my brother and I to see Star Wars 7 times in a month when it had first come out because he had to go back to work on an oil tanker and would be gone the rest of the summer.

That first shot weighs heavy on my heart of earliest childhood memories.
