What was the correct answer to the final question?

Brown Vs Blue

Rob Johnson said in the Celebration Orlando panel that he always thought Han's coat was blue.  It wasn't until they wanted to redo the minifig, and contacted Lucasfilm, did he find out that no, it is Brown.  I just didn't want to mention the panel until after the quiz was over, since it was going to be my final question.

Oh, good question.  It was Rob Johnson.  Both of you got it right, Seapotato was faster.

Thanks again!

Excellent questions!  The head used in two themes could have taken days to figure out though.  Not sure how to query that one.

That was a tough one, and I struggled with that one.  But when I came across that little piece of trivia, I felt like I had to include it.  

I think it's a bit more intuitive.  You'd have to think about who has been in multiple franchises that have appeared in LEGO form.  A lot of people threw out Han and Indy, which was a good guess.  There aren't too many others that have been in multiple franchises.  Julian Glover (General Veers and Donovan in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) and Christopher Lee are the only other two that spring to mind.  But they didn't do a Donovan minifig. 

OMG!!!! YAY, thanks!!!! Great questions this year. Thanks for organizing!

Ok, maybe years to figure it out now.

@Bold-Arrow is buying the gift cards.

Credit to BA, though.  He set up everything - the format, the rules, the prizes.  I spent the weekend writing questions (way more questions than I needed to!).  The requests to delay the start of activities sure helped!

for those that finished in the top 4. 

Please send me a PM with your choice of GC :

1st : 50$ GC ( retailer of choice )

2nd : 25$ GC (retail of choice )

semifinalists : 10$ GC ( retailer of choice )
