Whether it’s done single-handedly or achieved through the might of an army, the rescue is a thrilling element to many a movie and draws its success in large part from combining an action spectacle with an all-mighty emotional wallop. SciFiNow takes a look at the top ten that made the grade
The moment when every single Jedi becomes an enemy of the Republic – you knew it was coming but nothing can quite prepare us for the carnage that follows and the sheer amount of death and destruction that is reaped by the newly dubbed ‘Darth Vader’. The Star Wars movies are often at their best when the Empire has the upper hand and here it is in complete control. Younglings are slaughtered, Wookiees executed and even powerful Jedi Master Yoda falls at the hands of Emperor Palpatine. A dark day for the Jedi but this only serves to make the inevitable Rebel comeback all the sweeter.
