What are your 5 favorite Star Wars moments?


Beowulf

Recommended Posts

Both musically and cinematically - although they are probably both the same!

Here's mine:

1) Yoda lifting the X-Wing - ESB

2) Luke and the Dual Suns - ANH

3) Birth of the Empire - AOTC

4) The Dark Side beckons and the Redemption of Vader - ROTJ

5) Introduction of Vader and Imperial March - ESB

The 4th one always seems to leave me a little choked up, especially now that we "know" Anakin much more better.

My favorite scene of all time is the Final Duel between Luke and Vader in Empire.

From:

"The force is with you young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet."

To:

"If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father."

"He told me enough! He told me you killed him."

"No. I am your father."

Bum bum bum bum bumbum BUM BUM BUM!!

Hoo hoo!

Anyway that is followed by:

"That boy was our last hope."

"No. There is another."

With those Red tail lights kicking in one of the finest moments in cinema history as well. :)

The Battle of Endor pretty much the whole sequence except I've never really cared for the lightsaber duel...it's still good though.

The Battle of Yavin "I'm gonna cut across the acess and try and draw there fire!" Da daaa da doo da da da DAAA!

And of course the final shot of the saga with the Trio of Jedi standing a breast the saga over, Anakin redemed. :)

Woooooo go Star Wars!! :):mrgreen:

Justin -Who knows there are tons more scenes to point out.

Yeah, mine are musically and cinematically related:

1. Luke and Vader's duel in the reactor room/Escape from Cloud City: Vader's theme at one of its finest; the love theme (yes, there is one) at its grandest and most wonderful.

2. The opening music from "Star Wars": alternatively heroic, romantic, yearning and mysterious, this is why I love John Williams. He can tell us an entire story in two minutes.

3. Luke stares at the binary sunset: First on French horns and then on strings, the Force theme has so much meaning.

4. Vader and Luke's final duel: from the chorus to the renditions of Luke's and Vader's theme on strings, this is one of his finest hours ever in film scoring.

5. Han gets tortured: listen to Vader's theme. It's the scariest version ever put on film, and I love it!

Neil when they say Star Wars they mean the whole trilogy. :)

Justin - :)

Oh well in that case, I guess I have to add:

The very end of the end credits from Attack of the Clones. :mrgreen:

In all seriousness, the asteroid field from Empire is a damn good scene.

Somehow, I wasn't surprised when I saw that Joe's and Neil's responses were only from A NEW HOPE (that's right, ANH, not Star Wars) :D

But wow, I was surprised in seeing the variation. I expected everyone to be pretty much the same!

Justin, what if his 5 favorite of the saga are from Star Wars, I know my 5 were.

I know Joe I'm just giving him a hard time. :D

Justin -Who agrees that the Asteroid Field is a great scene. Much better than the Asteroid Belt Chase but I still like that scene. :|

The seismic charges alone make the scene great. BUt the Asteroid Field in ESB is great due to JW music. Without the music, that scene wouldn't be a tenth as cool as it is (although I love seeing the TIE crashing in the asteroid all spinning around).

If the asteroid chase in AOC had a similar score like ESB's one, they both would be equally great, but of course ESB's is more noticeable due to its length - and there are far more ships and characters in it.

I dont think lucas wanted to repeat himslef, i think he just liked to make a different scene with asteroids.

Well i'll say the best momments of evey movie:

TPM: Duel in the Desert

AOTC/AOC: The lightsaber duel

???: Well i think that Obi-Anakin duel is going to be superb :D

SW/ANH: The destruction of the Death Star

ESB: I am Your Father

ROJ: The Darkside beckons and Emperor's Death

I have more favourite scenes, of course :|
