Now as for the list, very not bad. Most of the prequel arguers are right, though. The Obi-Wan/Anikan fight should have been on here. Or at least a few moment earlier when Anikan thought he killed Padme. The fight was classic, forever scaring Vader’s soul with his hate while demonstrating that the control and peace of the light side will win over brute fury. And, of course, thinking that he killed his wife, Anikan committed what he believed the ultimate unforgivable act that severed all his ties with humanity.

If going based off a “most unforgettable when it was seen” aspect, then Yoda training Luke should be the Yoda scene, more specifically lifting the X-wing. That was the first true display of the power and strength of the Force, but I can see why it was left out if done from a “chronological from the movie’s perspective” aspect.

I also have to agree with Vader’s redemption. It was not completely telegraphed (from an original trilogy point of view), everyone wanted it to happen, and it wasn’t the “hero” who saved the universe.

But of course, the #1 best and most unforgettable moment in the Star Wars universe should have been….Qui Gon revealing that the Force was caused by parasites, thus destroying the myth of the Jedi and turning it into a class based upon birthright.

1. He’s teaching Luke that physical death of the body is not the end of life (this is proven by the fact that he communicates with Luke during the attack on the Death Star)–and also ( a HUGE principal of the Jedi teachings ) that the protection and salvation of many is the most important thing, even more so than one’s own life.

2. He’s teaching a final lesson to Vader/Anakin (his former apprentice) and that is that slaying your foe in battle is not nessecarily a true victory.

3. He’s facilitating the escape of the millenium falcon (yeah, I know they were tracked anyway. If old Ben hadn’t let himself be stricken down the others would have had too much hesitation and may not have gotten away at all.

So basically if Obi-wan never let himself be killed by Vader, the rebels don’t escape, nobody blows up the death star, Vader is never redeemed, no balance returning to the force, Luke never goes to Degobah, no Star Wars….all you get is 3 mediocre prequels because nothing else would happen. Obi-wan says to tell you you’re welcome!

I would want to include:

TESB: The Falcon being chased through the asteroid field by TIE fighters. The first time I saw this I ducked a few times. The music is brilliant, relentless and wonderfully orchestrated.

TESB: The first appearance of Vader’s Super Stardestroyer, casting shadows over the other ships in the fleet – and (I think) the first time we hear the Imperial March.

I am also fond of the fight between Obi Wan and Boba Fett in Ep.2 – great moodiness with all that water everywhere.
