I'm basing this on this video prepared by WatchMojo.com on the Top 10 Star Wars Moments.
But I'm not gonna blindly agree with it. I will add some of my personal view into it but generally, i agree with it!
Here's the video:-
No. 10 - Star Destroyer Opening (Episode IV) - no arguments there! Every saga has its beginning and to most of us, this is the real beginning!!!
No. 9 - Darth Maul Duel (Episode I) - This is one of the best scenes in the entire series - and probably only the good scene in the prequel trilogy for me. This is definitely the best lightsaber duel - with green, red and blue sabers and an edge of the seat soundtrack. Some have complained that it ended quite lame though and Obi-Wan defeated Maul too easily. Still, this has its rightful place in the top 10 here.
No. 8 - Order 66 (Episode III) - This is not on my list. Did not like this very much and it only showed how stupid the Jedis were.
No. 7 - Obi-Wan v s Anakin (Episode III) - I'm undecided on this. This is an important scene but does it live up to the top 10 moments?
No. 6 - Destruction of Alderaan - (Episode IV) - This would not be in my list but after re-watching it again, I have to say that i'm reconsidering its importance. Pretty powerful scene, actually. Shock, anger, amazement, sadness - all the emotions in this scene.
No. 5 - Battle of Hoth (Episode V) - agreed! What a battle!!!
No. 4 - The Trench Run (Episode IV) - just rewatching this scene again send chills running down my back and tears welling up in my eyes. When i was talking about this scene to a friend today, i felt the same chills - and yes, they were multiplying!!!!
No. 3 - Luke vs Fate (Episode VI) - yes to this too! As was mentioned in the clip, the lightsaber fight may not be that impressive (but the green and red sabers look really good) but it's the battle that was going inside Luke and how he won.
No. 2 - Han Solo's fate (Episode V) - Who can argue with this? Add to what has been said, the classic exchange between Han and Leia where Leia finally admits her love for Han - and Harrison Ford's brilliant ad-lib response to that.
No. 1 - I Am Your Father (Episode V) - was there any doubt that this would be the no. 1???
Here are a couple of my own to replace no. 7 and 8 above:-
The speeder bike chase from Episode IV. Edge of the seat stuffs!!! Bear in mind also that this scene was not shot using computer generated effects!!!
The space battle over Endor at the end of Episode VI with Lando barely making it out on the Millennium Falcon!
