    Hey 2nd,

    Before we get into the top 10, can we get a single post with the list so far? It's annoying scrolling and jumping pages back and forth.

    Images can be included at your discretion.

    Danke.

    I should hope not.

    It will be Ganner's Last Stand, Anakin's death, or Chewie's death.

    #10- Luke and Leia Unite to Defeat the Resurrected Emperor-; Dark Empire
    "Definition of epic."
    "Just fantastic."
    "The climax of this saga represents all of its greatness: Cinematic storytelling, daring ideas, and sound craftsmanship. In the truest Star Wars fashion, this was all at once complex and escapist fare."

    [image=http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/e/e3/Leia_and_Palpatine.jpg] [image=http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/3/3e/L_versus_s.jpg] [image=http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/f/fa/Palpatine_eclipse.JPG]

    #9- Yoda and Dooku's debates; Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
    "The characterization of Yoda and Dooku throughout Dark Rendezvous in fantastic and complex; it's a pity so much of the rest of the book was wasted. In the confrontation between Dooku and Yoda, both shined, with Yoda displaying his full wisdom and hinting at the darkness within while Dooku nearly, nearly returned from the dark side. Even knowing he'd be in ROTS, we almost believed he would turn back."
    "Yoda all of a sudden "turns on the dark side" for a moment to show Dooku the true horror that Darth Yoda would be. Even worse than Palpatine. This was a shocking realization for Dooku and showed the true control that Yoda has. I also include the "Make me a flower" dialogue in this, which is classic Yoda.
    Yoda: "Turn me to the dark side." Y'know, if it weren't for the fact that we knew that Darth Tyrannus would be in RotS, it was almost a real question if Dooku would turn away from the dark side."

    "When you fall, catch you I will."
    [image=http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/2/26/MissionToVjun.jpg]

    #8- "The Empire will always strike back."; New Jedi Order: Force Heretic: Remnant
    "Pellaeon proves his worth. The Empire's role may have been diminished as the EU progressed past the films, but it was moments like this that reminded us of how great a force it was, as well as being an awesome tie in to the OT."
    "Total badassery. At this point, you knew the Empire could no longer be ignored. That from now on they would be a force to be reckoned with in the galaxy..."
    "I almost dropped the book when I read Pellaeon's words to Yuuzhan Vong Vorrik. Vong meeting the Imperial Remnant was one of the biggest missed opportunities in the NJO, but thankfully the underrated Shane Dix gave us this moment -- a classic."

    "You may win the occasional battle against us, Vorrik, but the Empire will always strike back."
    [image=http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/6/69/PellaeonYVW.jpg]

    #7- Mara Jade's Death; Legacy of the Force: Sacrifice
    "The catalyst LotF needed to get some serious action going and (hopefully) the beginning of the end for Caedus."
    "Ben's reaction to his mothers death was heartbreaking, but this was a moment that took my breath away. Jacen walks in, calm and collected, and comforted the son of the woman he just murdered."
    "To say I cried would be an understatement. So final but so appropriate to the book."
    "Strangely enough, Mara was never a character I was interested in until she was killed off in LOTF... But interested or not, this is a turning point in the SW saga"

    ?You think you?ve won, but Luke will crush you.?
    [image=http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/a/a1/Mara-funeral.jpg]

    #6- Death of Thrawn; The Last Command
    "One of the best death lines."
    "Iconic, and a fitting end to a villain."
    "A fitting end for the most brilliant villain of all time."
    "Awesome because it wasn't some big showdown with the good guys or his ship going down in a blaze of glory. Turns out the bodyguard whose species was being lied to and virtually enslaved found out."

    "But? it was so artistically done."

    well...I have 5 remaining with 5 left...and one of those Has to be Ganner...I think one my selections was far to unique to have popular appeal...it's a shame because it's one of the most lasting images of the entire saga I have...

    BRING ON THE FINALL 5!

    Final 5, hmmm, we need Quinlan Vos Lives, Anakin Solo's Death, Ganner's Last Stand, and I am Revan. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head. I am surprised how many of you are forgetting about the Revan reveal, but I'm pretty sure it garnered a lot of votes.

    OK...I don't see how we don't see:

    1) Ganner's Stand
    2) Chewie's Death
    3) The Fall of Coruscant to the Vong

    One that i am a little perplexed by is Kyle's defeat of Jerec and saves the Valley of the Jedi...I expected it to be somewhere lower, but I can't imagine this list without that...am I that old? Is it going to be missing entirely from the list?

    Where are the Kyle fans?

    Revan's reveal wasn't that great...the eventual destruction the starforge is Revan's shining moment, not his "realization"...maybe further down the list...but the real estate is too thin now for that.

    Anakin's death should never be looked at as a "great" or "top" moment...it's wasn't dramatic or artistic or even emotional...it was just shocking...and the aftermath is what we dwell on, not the act itself. However, I suspect we'll see this anyway.

    So when can I expect the final 5 so I don't have to obsessively check back every hour (or half hour).
