Inspired by the Empire article this month on the top 100 scenes from the Star Wars movies.

Lets embrace a bit pof positivity in the hope EPIII is good! B)

Me first then:

Would have to be the carbon freezing scene Empire. We have the gorgeously lit carbon freezing area as Vader stridesin. The red and black tones of this area epitomise the darker feel of ESB.

There is the tetchy encouter between Vader and Fett, with Fett showing he is not totally in awe of Vader, stating that Solo had better not be damaged in the freezing process as he is no good to him dead. Vader shows a respect back telling him he will be financially compensated for any losses.

We see the first signs of Lando not being all bad as he realises his deal with the Empire is not quite what he thought it would be.

Then of course we have the freezing process. There is an emotional farewell between Han and Leia which delivers the best line of the entire series. Leia at last putting all pretense aside, confessing to Han that she loves him. There is a slight pause, the viewers await the rogue delivering the line back. But isntead she is greeted by a dead pan "I know". Yet that scene still remians charged with emotion!

Top stuff B)

Attack of the Clones

When the big fight in the arena is happening and Windu is running away from a droid who shoots and he just swings his lightsaber back to hit the shot right back at him. It's the coolest thing ever.

And when Yoda pulls his lightsaber out. Amazing. It's the coolest thing ever.

I can't think of any others right now. I only know them two cos I watched AotC a couple of days ago.

Yeah, heard that too.  Ford has come up with the two best bits in both Lucas most famous franchises.  He improvised the shooting of the sword twirl guy in Indiana Jones as well.

Only cos they all had the squits...

I've got a particular soft spot for Han Solo saving the day at the end of a New Hopw - "You're all clear kid now let's blow this thing and go home!".

I loved the fact that it was inlcluded in GC Rogue Squadron (Leader?).

Someone's also got to mention the Star Destroyer opening scene...

Empire Strikes Back

The Asteroid Scene with the Tie Fighters and the Millenium Falcon

The Vader / Luke Fight

Another vote for the Yoda using the Force to lift the x Wing Fighter

Oh, and the bit where Luke confronts his image in a Vader mask on Dagobah.

Return of the Jedi

The battle above Endor

Once again, the Luke / Vader fight. Great Music

Phantom Menace

Obi Wan / Qui-Gon / Maul fight

Attack of the Clones

Anakin speeding across Tatooine (short but great Music)

Anakins attack at the Tuskan Raiders camp. SO needed to be longer though

Anakin using 2 light sabers to fight Dooku

Another vote for when Yoda takes out his light saber

The scene where Han, Leia et al are in the Tie Fighter and transmitting the stolen code to the Executor in orbit around the Death Star (so they lower the shield and allow them access to the surface of Endor). The scale of Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer is superbly illustrated at this point. And the awe-inspiring power of the Empire.

You mean the Shuttle Tyderium?

Picking one from each film.

E.IV

The opening scene – Tiny space ship flies into shot, no big deal. A few seconds later, a massive Star Destroyer flies after it. A million jaws hit the floor.

E.V

The AT-AT walker getting his legs harpooned and slowly crumpling into the snow.

E.VI

Luke’s back-flip/mid air Light Sabre catch on the barge in the desert.

E.I

Finding out Darth Vader built C3PO.

E.II

The scenes between Padmae (sp??) and Anakin. I think I’m the only person who likes these scenes.

Oh actually, the very end of the Luke/Vader fight where Luke just totally loses it. I love that bit.

Good one. He's just hacking away until Vader falls and to this day you still almost think, "Oh no, he's turned". Then he chucks his saber away and tells the emperor to shove it. :D

The "I Know" Han Solo one is also a belter. Gotta try that one in real life one day. Hehe.

The beggining of RotJ when Luke walks into Jabba's lair. The first time he really is a Jedi, with his cloak and mind tricks. Magic.

Also the Darth Maul double saber bit is absolutely superb. And the Yoda - Dooku fight scene, the way the camera pans round as he's about to whip his saber out is class. And...and....
