counting down the top 10 memorable Star
Wars moments cheat to it personally
Commander there'll be no one to stop us
this time yes
sir number 10 Star Destroyer opening
episode 4 kicking off our list is the
Cinematic opening that changed
everything we knew or expected from
sci-fi following a sweeping opening text
crawl we're treated to the stationary a
inspiring visual of a rebel Blockade
Runner being chased by a massive Star
Destroyer only moments later it led to
the equally iconic moment when the
Stormtroopers invade the ship and the
Mysterious Vader made his dramatic
entrance leaving everyone
[Music]
breathless sci-fi would never be the
same number nine Darth Maul duel episode
1
while episode one is considered the
weakest of the Saga oh but it is it does
have a few redeeming scenes that are
among the best in the franchise like the
pod race however it was the three-way
battle between the Jedi and the devilish
Darth Maul that really got pulses
pounding the First full fight of the new
Trilogy it cranked up saber choreography
to never before imagined levels while
the Duel of the Fates theme music really
sealed in the
Epic oh
[Music]
[Applause]
number eight Order 66 episode
[Music]
3 with Palpatine playing both sides of
the war it was a matter of time before
we saw how he would tie up all the Loose
Ends one good thing about clone troopers
is they don't ask a lot of questions
Execute order
66 yes my Lord this harrowing moment
signaled the beginning of the Jedi Purge
and the dark reign of the Empire
thankfully it also showed us how Yoda
[Music]
survived number seven Obi-Wan versus
Anakin episode
3 I will do what I
must you will try
the ultimate confrontation between
teacher and student Obi-Wan confronts
Anakin for the evil that he's committed
a lava-filled confrontation between
equals it was a moment that really drove
home just how far Anakin had
fallen it also gave us a glimpse of the
emotional side of Obi-Wan I loved you
and gave us the final piece of the
puzzle in how Vader became more machine
than man
[Music]
number six destruction of alderon
episode 4 One sure far way to show that
the bad guy's mean business is to blow
up a planet this unprecedented sci-fi
moment followed Princess Leia's
interrogation as grandm Tarkin decided
to show her what the Death Star and the
special effects Department were really
capable
[Music]
of aside from the horrific Grandeur of
the explosion it's Obi-Wan's reaction
light years away that is perhaps the
most important as it conveyed the nature
of the force to a then unfamiliar
audience I felt a great disturbance in
the force as if millions of voices
suddenly cried out in Terror and was
suddenly
silenced I feel something terrible has
happened number five Battle of Hoth
episode 5 Echo station 38 we spotted
Imperial Walker Imperial walkers on the
North
Bridge as Empire was the darker install
of the original trilogy it was
appropriate that the First Act of the
film end on an epic and devastating note
pushing the conceptual sci-fi even
farther than the previous film nobody
can forget the awesome power of the
Imperial Walkers and the feeling of
hopelessness from the brave snow
Speeders buzzing around
them number four Trench Run episode four
this is it boys red leader this is gold
leader I copy gold leader for the Target
shaft now tons of movies end with a
ticking clock so A desperate Last Stand
at the end of a film isn't notable in
and of itself but a frantic World War II
style dog fight in space okay now you've
got our attention copy gold leader came
from
behind simply put there's nothing here
that isn't iconic from the fat guy
blowing up to Luke using the force right
down to the last second save by Han it's
pure movie Magic you're all clear kid
now let this thing go
[Music]
home
[Music]
standby stand
five number three Luke versus fate
episode 6 you underestimate the power of
the dark side if you will not fight then
you will meet your
[Music]
destiny while the lightsaber battle may
not actually be the best choreographed
of the series it's undoubtedly the most
emotional you can feel the anger in each
strike as Luke loses control and dabbles
just a bit too close to the dark
[Music]
side thankfully he gets a handful of
symbolism to snap him out of it at the
last
moment never
[Music]
I'll never turn to the dark side number
two Han Solo's fate episode 5 with this
being the darker sequel someone had to
die to really drive home how hopeless
the situation was for the rebels and how
ruthless the Empire could
[Music]
be we would be honored if you would join
us
with Harrison Ford feeling that his
character had been a bit played out he
volunteered Han for death fortunately
the character ultimately survived but it
was harrowing and emotional watching him
get tortured and made into a piece of
Modern
[Music]
Art I don't know about you but the first
time I watched it I was left screaming
what about Han when the credits rolled
number one I am your father episode 5
join me and together we can rule the the
Galaxy is Father and Son taking the top
spot on our list is the movie twist that
disarmed Luke and caught audiences
gasping in complete disbelief a Twist so
unexpected and gamechanging many people
thought it was actually just a ploy to
convert Luke to the dark side for the
three long years until Return of the
Jedi Obi-Wan never told you what
happened to your father he told me
enough he told me you killed him
no I and the
father one thing's for sure in today's
world of hashtags and video blogs this
secret probably would have dropped long
before the
movie agree with our list
