	Alright folks- you know what we did- we asked for your top 20 moment in the EU, and from the results we ranked the top 100. All together folks nominated about 275 different EU moments. And now, here we begin the results. I've included some user comments, where available, from their nominations: Our first installment: #99 (tied)- Dooku’s walk on the beach after his battle with Yoda; Yoda: Dark Rendezvous #99 (tied)- Exar Kun’s "Scream Heard ‘round the Galaxy."; Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith "Amazing." #97 (tied)- Enter the Hat. K'kruhk returns.; Jedi: Mace Windu "A freakin' sweet illustration that has had repercussions throughout the EU."* #97 (tied)- Boba Fett escapes the Sarlacc.; Tales From Jabba's Palace: A Barve Like That, The Tale of Boba Fett. "The desperate will and struggle to survive and escape, is the defining Boba Fett moment, IMO. Jawas of Doom does not exist." #95 (tied)- Darth Vader and Luke fight Palpatine together; Lego Star Wars: The Original Trilogy "The simple fact that this is the ultimate (save for the Death Star battle) level in an awesome game probably secured its place in my Top#20, but the music, the characters, the level design and the differences with the movie fight (Vader on your side) make it an unforgettable "infinities" experience." #95 (tied)- Kaan activates the Thought Bomb; Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, Jedi vs. Sith & Dark Forces: Jedi Knight. #94- Vader kills the Dark Woman; Tales: Extinction. #93- Kir Kanos vs. Carnor Jax; Crimson Empire "Carnor Jax, for your part in the assassination of Emperor Palpatine, and for the murder of your fellow guardsmen, I condemn you to death!" #92- Ben Skywalker discovers that Jacen has been lying all along; Legacy of the Force: Sacrifice. #91- The Final defeat of Exar Kun; Jedi Academy Trilogy: Champions of the Force & I, Jedi. "I guess they couldn't get a hold of the Ghostbusters..." -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT." K'Kruhk, 140 ABY:"Why haven't I come forth earlier to share my Jedi knowledge with Skywalker? Well, it's kinda a long story, see, I had this freaking sweet hat..."

	A few of those I would have expected to rank a little higher, but no real surprises here.

	Liking the selections so far. I agree though, a couple of these I sort of expected a little higher up the list. Guess we'll just have to see what bumped 'em down... -----signature----- But they won't let me dream to live or live to dream.

	Interesting mix thus far. Please continue... -----signature----- So Devaronian females are suppose to have thick fur, eh? Has anyone seen one outside an essential guide? ... When even the creative teams refuse to make fuzzy Devaronians...it should be a clue, folks. Thus endeth the lesson.

	#90- "To the Wars true unsung heroes, the spouses"; New Jedi Order: The Unifying Force "It was moments like this that made the Yuuzhan Vong war worth fighting. Just 7 normal guys, having a drink and a laugh, it really hit home how important the eventual victory was." #88 (tied)- The Jedi students disperse or destroy the Imperial fleet & defend Yavin IV; Darksaber. "Cool! Even though they’re new to the Force, they still do something so Jedi-ish that it’s awesome!" "Laugh all you want, but in a lost, aimless, pointless novel, this part was mounted with perfection. "They're gone, my friend". #88 (tied)- Death of Jesmin Ackbar and Wedge's Reaction; X-Wing: Wraith Squadron "it was this moment that defined the Wraith Squadron series. Unlike the Rogue books, where nobodies died, and were forgotten wihtin a page, here a death had consequences. Wedge's struggle to write to Ackbar was a brilliant touch as well" "Sir, it is my sad duty to report to you the death of Jesmin Ackbar" #86 (tied)- Zayne's Final Message to the Jedi Covenant; Knights of the Old Republic: Commencement "Really, totally awesome. " “Don’t look for me, Lucien. Because I’ll find you. And if I do end up collapsing the Jedi order, just remember one thing. You started it.” #86 (tied)- Thrawn captures the Katana Fleet; Dark Force Rising "That battle itself was great fun, but what pushes this sequence to the next level is the drama with Borsk happening back on what I believe was a Nebulon-B." #85- Jacen vs. Onimi; New Jedi Order: The Unifying Force. "A little creepy, very well-done, and sets the stage for what’s coming next…" #84- The Empire of the Hand is revealed; Hand of Thrawn Duology "needs to be seriously explored." "the reveal of the Empire of the Hand, the Chiss, and the Unknown Regions in Vision of the Future was a moment of awe." #82 (tied)- Battle of Sluis Van; Heir to the Empire #82 (tied)- Jacen defends Luke's body from Exar Kun; "At this point you knew big things were going to happen with the Solo kids" #79 (tied)- The Padawans, Dead at the Hand of Their Masters; Knights of the Old Republic: Commencement "with this startling page-turn, we were catapulted into an incredible adventure that hasn't ended yet." "Until this moment, I wasn't terribly interested in KotOR. The horric nature of the massacre and the luck of Zayne's incompetence keeping him from joing his friends turned the series from dull to brilliant in one double page." #79 (tied)- The "Supposed" death of Exar Kun and his awakening within his tomb; Tales of the Jedi: The Sith War & The Jedi Academy Trilogy. #79 (tied)- Ulic Qel-Droma kills his brother, Cay; Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

	Cull_Tremayne posted: Oh, and my top two are 95 and 94...I apparently have impeccable taste. They probably wouldn't have made the list if you hadn't ranked them so high Cull_Tremayne posted: How many people actually voted? A little over 30- so, not a huge cross section of the fanbase, but a decent polling turnout considering the more specific nature of the poll as compared to the EU works topic. As such, the bottom half of the list has a few more eccentricical entries (ut they make this more fun!), but the top 60 or so is more solid. -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

	I guess I'm surprised that Thrawn capturing the Katana Fleet is so low, other than that no big surprises. -----signature----- I am forever seeking the damutek of Hooley Krekk Oh, woe! Oh, misery!

	I must say that I am finding a greater level of approval with this rundown in comparison to the "works" results. I'm curious as to how many people voted in that one compared to this one...how many voted in both contests. I'm also going to be very interested in calculating how many of these results come from single sources...already we've seen cases where a source has had a couple events included. More! More! -----signature----- So Devaronian females are suppose to have thick fur, eh? Has anyone seen one outside an essential guide? ... When even the creative teams refuse to make fuzzy Devaronians...it should be a clue, folks. Thus endeth the lesson.
