Was watching Return of the Jedi today. God me thinking about something. Whats your favourite scene, or scenes from the Star Wars movies?

Mines got to be at the end of ROTJ when Vader picks up the Emperor carries him over still crackling with force lightning and throws him down that huge reactor shaft. (Apolgies to anyone who hasn't seen the film but on the other hand find it hard to believe anyone on here hasn't :) )

I've a lot of favorite moments, and that death of Palpatine is one of them. Another one is the beginning of ANH when the Imperial Star Destroyer zooms across the screen as it chases Leia's ship. It's not all the exciting, but it's the beginning of the entire saga. That opening scene is amazing!

Oh, the scene in AotC where Yoda walks in on Dooku and starts attacking him is ultra cool as well

Hmm... The battle between Vader and Luke in Cloud City.

Yeah, that was a pretty good battle. I personally think it's one of the more smaller slower battles in the saga, but for the time it was made... you know

Ahh, there are so many scenes I love. Unfortunately it's been so many years ago when I saw the movies (beginning with "The Empire Strikes Back") in cinema when they got out. Yes, I am that old :D
And I can barely make out which where the scenes I loved so much, since I have seen the movies so often now.

A New Hope:
Where Han runs screaming after the stormtroopers and end up in a room with lots of stormtroopers only to find himself shortly afterwards to be chased by them.
What I really found impressive was the scene when they powered up the huge weapon of the Death Star to destroy Yavin.

The Empire Strikes Back:
This worm in the Asteroid. I found it so wicked. Really scary. :D Also scary and impressive when Luke had to enter this tree while he was trained by Yoda.

Return of the Jedi:
Jabba!!!!!!!! This whole place of Jabba is really impressive. I found it very fascinating. And the coolest scene is where R2D2 shocks this little creature Salacious Crumb into its butt. :) The fight of the Ewoks is also awesome.

The Phantom Menace:
Darth Maul fightig Kenobi and Qui Gon Jin. I watched this scene over and over and over again. The first time I ever saw a scene that really reflected what fighting with a lightsaber is about. Coruscant: I love this city. It looks soooooo awesome.

Attack of the Clowns (err Clones):
This water planet where the genosian cloning happened is really interesting. I loved the architecture of it. THe scene of Boba and Jango Fett how they charged those sonic bombs into the asteroids. 5.1 Dolby Surround ftw!

Revenge of The Sith:
Ohh those yellow eyes of Anakin. A change of eye color based on rage, anger, dark emotions and the dark side featured in a Star Wars movie? Thanks Lucas, now we all can change in our rpgs the eye colors whenever angry or in any other volatile state :)
And the scene with Anakin being crippled by the saber of Kenobi, how the flames incinerates him was the most shocking, scary and shaking scene ever. Those eyes that stared filled with hatred at Obi Wan. Really really impressive.

Well, that about says it all doesn't it? :P

I really love the Ep I fight with Maul too, I also love the music that plays for the fight. Yes, I'm a movie soundtrack geek -_-

I like (apart from the ones already said) the battle with Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin and Agen Kolar against Palpatine. Also the battle of Geonosis and the scene with Luke, a gamorrean, and the Rancor. I like how the Gamorrean cries and tries to escape after falling with Luke.

Bah! I'm going to be horribly purist and say it was better when they just stopped and started chasing him in the 1977 versions. :P

Anyways....

Original Trilogy:

The 45-minute mark in ANH....ie, the entrance of Han Solo.
The stormtrooper braining himself on the door.
"I have you now!"

The Battle of Hoth.
Learning how to stand on your head and lift up rocks.
Cloud City's duel between Luke and Vader.

The Sail Barge fight.
Ewoks getting blown up.
"You rebel scum!"
Flying into the Death Star.


Prequel Trilogy:

The Podrace.
"At last we will have our revenge."
Duel of the Fates - best duel of any SW movie.

"Where are you going?" "For a drink."
Kamino.
Any scene with clones.

The first half hour of RotS.
Obi-Wan confronting Grievous.
The Mustafar duel - matched perfectly.

I don't mind the "Special Edition" changes except Jabba in ANH and the Anakin spirit in ROTJ. Those were retarded and pointless. Jabba looked like plastic and Sebastian Shaw was a better vision of the older Anakin.

I have to agree with a lot of your favorite moments - and I even like the format.

Here are a few of mine:

ANH
"The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force."
"I don't recall owning a droid."
"You may fire when ready."
"We're not out of this yet..." aka "Don't get cocky!"

ESB
"You have failed me for the last time..."
"They arrived just before you did."
"There is another."

ROTJ
"I was just on my way to pay you..."
"Sister..."
"It's a trap!"


Either the dialog in the prequel trilogy isn't as memorable - or that I've only seen those films like... twice... - anyhow here's a summary of those for me:

TPM
Jedi trapped by the Trade Federation
Duel in the desert
Battle Droids unloading

AOTC
Yoda instructs
Fight on Kamino
Yoda vs Dooku

ROTS
Rescuing Palpatine
Order 66 montage - though Ki Adi Mundi and Aayla Secura's deaths were just gut-wrenchingly shallow.
Jett Lucas' character getting mowed down in a hail of clone trooper fire

My favourite bit is Luke getting wasted by the Emperor's Sith Lightning in ROTJ. >:) That scene is brilliantly done, and the emotions really come out.

The first appearance of Darth Vader as he steps on Tantive IV. It is what got me hooked on Star Wars.

Alright Shikyo. Glad you like the Maul battle...otherwise I would have had to kill you.

As a fan of Ray Park and Liam Neeson, I can't help but love that fight. Besides, nothing like having a Sith Lord own a Jedi then get sliced in half. :P. R.I.P. Lord Maul.

I've always been partial to the whole Luke/Vader/Emperor scenes in ROTJ. The Kenobi/Jinn/Maul fight might have more flashiness to it but I've always liked the more emotionally driven duel in ROTJ.

"Only now, at the end, do you understand."
*ZAP*

If I had to go for a specific moment though, it'd be that. It's the iconic "the dark side is more powerful" moment for me.
