I like the choices, other than the podrace.

It took me a moment to figure out that the fan had posted them in chronological order (Eps 1-6) as opposed to a rank order list.

I would substitute the Vader Obi-Wan duel in ANH for the pod race from TPM. No one had ever seen anything like that before, and it was too awesome for words.

In TESB when luke calls Leia through the force and she's just sitting there with this vancant look and then she says "luke"...


it always gets me great direction, greater editing.

But not so great acting.

[RollaFett]

Hmmm...really? What was so bad about it?

[Tovor]

That was one of my favorite scenes. Seriously.

[empire21]

I love that scene myself and i've never found anything wrong with the acting.

[Raganork8]

They didn't really even need to act, that's the beauty of it.

I love that scene.

The Padme's Rumination scene in ROTS Directly mirrors that scene and i think that should have on there too.

[nefertiti]

It was a good list...of course it missed some of my favorites. I thought the Luke calling to Leia was pretty good. For the first time it shows a direct relationship...a clue to what we find out in the next film... altogether good list!

[Raganork8]

^ I agree!

[Zedekk]

pretty cool.

[JSunday]

I like the choices. Here are some that would be in my list somewhere:

1. The stare across Coruscant in Sith. Maybe the most poignant scene in the saga.

2. This is subtle...but the Obi-Wan/Luke scene in Kenobi's home, telling him about the Force and his father. There's just SO much there and it's still great to watch Guiness even unintentionally be...vague. Perfect scene.

3. The Jedi scene....when Luke is handed over to Vader and they confront each other knowing the truth for the first time.

4. The confession scene to Padme in Clones. Still get chills watching that side of Anakin briefly surface.

5. The Kenobi - Jango scuffle on the landing platform. Choice.

6. The trench run in A New Hope. Still thrills me with nausea every time.

7. The confession of Palpatine to Anakin in the Chancellor's chambers in Sith. Love the intensity of McDiarmid here.

8. Obi-Wan's final words to Anakin on the lava shore. Perhaps the most heart-felt acting moment in the entire saga.

Hell froze over.....I agree with Rolla!
Carrie got it just right.

and JSunday - I like your list a lot.

[Javen]

What? no jar jar binks on that list? I'm shocked!

I don't think I could list 20 it would be too hard.

But I'll say one I love alot and it is in ROTJ.

When R2D2 sends Luke his light saber and when he catches it, he looks at it like its his best friend and then proceeds to kick some Skywalker ass.

That is such a perfect description of that look......I wonder.....if Mark spontaneously did that or if he was directed to do so and if it was in the notes for the script.

[Javen]

Don't know. I always wondered that myself.

[RollaFett]

Heh, heh...c'mon now, we've sort of agreed on other things, haven't we? Hmmmm...perhaps not. :blink:

[Tovor]

Nailing down 20 best scenes is hard, but here is what I have so far for my list:

“Leia, hear me.”
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
“I am your father.”
<o:p></o:p>
“You were the chosen one!”
<o:p></o:p>
The moment the epic duel starts between Vader and Kenobi in ROTS
<o:p></o:p>
AOTC- Group of Jedi running toward battledroids in the arena, sabers swinging
<o:p></o:p>
TESB- Snowspeeders flying over snow toward camera, to take on walkers. When you first see them for the first time...I think Luke says "We're on our way," and then the speeders appear flying toward camera and then over rebel soldier's heads.

TESB- Falcon flying through the asteroid field.

TESB- First shot after Hoth battle of Falcon flying toward camera wirh massive star destroyer right behind it

Luke's confrontation with the emperor, the whole dialogue before and after the duel with Vader.

Darth Maul/Qui-Gon/Kenobi duel.

The Clone Wars battle in AOTC.

ESB - When Luke first lands on Dagobah.

ANH - Obi Wan explains to Luke about Anakin.

ANH - Luke stares at the twin suns

ESB - Carbonate freeze scene

ROTJ - Luke vs Vader in the throne room.

TPM - Maul vs Obi Wan and Qui gon

TPM - Qui gons death and Obi Wan vs Maul

AOTC - clone wars battle

AOTC - Anakin and Obi chase Zam

ROTS - The beginning battle

ROTS - Anakin and Padme stare across Coruscant until C3PO ruins the moment.

When R2D2 sends Luke his light saber and when he catches it, he looks at it like its his best friend

That is so awesome, I never actually gave that look any thought, but after reading that and picturing that look in my head that's exactly how it looks. :thumbs-up:

[Javen]

Yeah. I remember when I was young and saw that scene the first time and I noticed how he looks at it. Like its his friend, not just a weapon.

[Jedi Master Harrison]

Yeah. I remember when I was young and saw that scene the first time and I noticed how he looks at it. Like its his friend, not just a weapon.

Almost like that weapon is his life. :)
