My Top 10 Star Wars Moments

May the Fourth be with you!

Well, even though I have review all of the Star Wars movies on the blog. (You can search for them on the blog. All eight, including Rogue One, are on here on this site.) I decided, because of this day, to compile ten favorite moments, in my personal opinion, from the Star Wars franchise. They could be from the prequels, original trilogy or from Rogue One that deserves be on this esteemed and memorable list.

So, here are the clips.

10. The First Death Star Assault (Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope)

The first assault in space in the Star Wars franchise and imagine how advanced the technology has come from this 1977 movie.

9. Han is Frozen in Carbonite (Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back)

The moment is pretty epic in terms of acting, dialogue and a great exchange between Leia and Han Solo.

8. Finn & Rey vs. Kylo Ren (Star Wars: The Force Awakens)

There are some cool moments in this movie but you have to admit, even though it is a bit flawed in its revelation, it was great to see Rey fight against Kylo Ren.

7. Execute Order 66 (Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith)

This is one of the sadder moments of the Star Wars franchise in which almost all of the Jedi are killed as the Empire has started to form.

6. Battle of Hoth (Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back)

This is in three parts because this is a long battle but come on, these Imperial Walkers are so cool.

5. Speeder Bike Chase (Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi)

Now, this is pod racing. When I watched this for the first time, I was enthralled by how fast these bikes were and a little afraid that Luke and Leia were going to crash onto the tree and die. Plus, the sound and special effects were awesome.

4. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan vs. Darth Maul (Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace)

A lot of people including myself don't like this movie as much as the other because of too much political mumbo-jumbo. (Episode II is worse with dialogue between Anakin and Padme.) However, this duel is worth the viewing. It was awesome to watch in the theater when I was younger.

3. Darth Vader kills a whole bunch of rebels (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story)

Rogue One is a really good anthology movie despite the slow 20-30 minutes. However, the movie gets better and better and save the best scene for last as we watch Darth Vader in action doing what he does best.

2. The Duel between Father and Son (Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi)

This is a dramatic and emotional duel between Vader and Luke, father and son. It's no surprise it is the next clip below. But, this time it's with the Emperor sort of interfering with them and tampering with their emotions.

1. I am Your Father! (Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back)

A great duel between Vader and Luke before the revelation and come on, it's a little over 35 years old, you should probably figure it out by now or have heard of the reveal. Even if you know it, it is still a dramatic and powerful moment.
