The Best Star Wars Movie Moments

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of "Star Wars," TwitchGuru looks at the best scenes from the epic saga from Episode I to Episode VI. From Darth Vader's bombshell revelation to Yoda busting out a light saber, here are TwitchGuru's 10 favorite "Star Wars" moments.

Bleh...that's a long way off from the days of "I love you/I know."

The Sith weren't destroyed, Luke turns evil. I really hope they end up makig the next 3 movies.

So true, that is the best acting in any movie in history.

...

Seriously though, I wouldn't have put any scene with Hayden Christiansen in it in this list. He was awful in the 2 movies he was in. Not that it was his fault (he is pretty good in some other flicks), Lucas is just terrible at directing actors.

Binary Sunset (on episode IV, not the ending of Ep. III)

That IS the most famous scene from the saga, with very strong feelings and some of the best music from John Williams.

No Battle of Hoth in the list? I feel so gypped.


I was really hoping that Yoda with a saber would be cool, but I was skeptical that they could pull it off. IMO, they didn't. I don't mind a bit of CG to help the old guy fight, but it seemed overdone and somewhat un-elegant (in both movies). I prefer seeing him as a Master of the Force -- sans saber.

This list is suspect because it misses the best scene by far: The initial scene in Star Wars where the star destroyer flies over the camera as it attacks the rebel blockade runner carrying Leia, R2 and 3PO.

This is the scene that got everybody hooked on SW in the first place.

Huge miss, IMHO.

One of the most pivatol moments. Barely touched on though at the end of Ep 3 is when Yoda and Obi wan realize that the old teachings of the jedi to banish emotion from the mind don't work. That the sith have had thousands of years to progress while the Jedi haven't learned a thing.

Definitely shows great difference in the training that Luke received in the original trilogy than the standard jedi training of the new trilogy.

I just think that no scene of the first 3 episodes deserves any praise. To me, I liked the old movies (4,5,6) because jedi were more like mystics. Not fighters, they could defend themselves very well but they were not ninja as depicted in Episode 1,2,3. I liked the fact that you could interpret their fights as psychic attacks vs psychic counters and so on. Example in episode 5, when luke fights vader at the end, Vader uses is telekinetic powers to harass Luke. I really enjoyed that part. It showed that they are more mystic than fighters, even though they can stop blasters with their saber.

In episode 1,2,3 they're just "SHOWING OFF". And I just didn't like it. They ninja their way to glory.

I agree its too bad they missed the star destroyer fly over in ep4 and the battle of hoth both very good. I also liked the fleet battle at the end of ep6 even though the clips were short it was cool to see the star destroyers and mon cal crusiers fighting it out.

A great scene that was not in the movies but should have been is when everybody finally gets sick of jar jar and pushes him out the airlock (preferably in the maw cluster near kessel)

probably not canon but still good

I've always kind of like the ewoks too they were funny (throwing rock at AT-STs and stuff), I think I heard some were that the ewoks were suposed to be wookiees at first but that they had to change that because the put chewie in ep4 and made him seem a bit to smart (being a copilot on a ship) to be from a primitive tribal people or somthing.

Lucas "claimed" that he made them only because his daughter liked the fuzzy Ewoks so much... for here sake, I hope this isn't the same reason for JarJar???

(Not to be a smartaleck but)Bet it smelled powerful too.

I am going to make the Darth Vader March my cellphone ringtone. Very talented person that Williams is!

I loved the Ewok adventures. Way better than the "Droids" cartoons.

meh, its aevm

I consider all 6 to be the same movie. I'm a big fan. But if I have to answer, most fans consider Empire (V) to be the best. It had a good director and the acting was good. The bad guys won. Episode 3 and 2 had good stories but the acting wasn't very good.

Don`t forget about Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles.
Remember?
