My Favorite Star Wars Moments (11-20)

11.

             Anakin defeats Count Dooku- This was an awesome fight. At first it was Anakin and Obi wan vs. Count Dooku(Darth Tyrannus). Count Dooku quickly made it a one on one fight though. I personally think he underestimated Anakin a little bit, but regardless Dooku lost. The Look in the defeated Sith lord’s face is priceless when he realized he has been betrayed by his master Palpatine(Darth Sidious)

12.

            Order 66-This was the turning point in Revenge of the Sith. The evil Darth Sidious had already programmed his troopers to “purge the jedi”. He was just waiting for the appropriate time. The clone troopers turn on the jedi and not many survive that one day. I’m sure more Jedi were killed  later on as well.

13.

           Darth Maul fights Qui Gon Jin and Obi Wan- An epic duel with the “Duel of the fates music”. It would seem from watching this that Darth Maul was clearly the better duelist out of the 3. Regardless after witnessing Qui Gon get cruely stabbed, Obi wan went on the offensive and won the duel for the Jedi.

14.

            Luke vs. Darth Vader in ESB- Before the prequels came out this was the ultimate star wars duel. Its clear that while Luke was very talented with his light saber he was no match for Vader. Darth Vader dominated most of the fight….and eventually won. I really think that he was toying with Luke for most of the fight.

15.

            Anakin wins the Podrace- The Podrace was one of the best parts of the Phantom Menace. I love how Anakin came back from tying last to win. If he hadn’t won the race the story of star wars might have been very different.

16.

         The Opening Space Battle in ROTS- This battle is very impressive. There’s a lot of different things going on at one time. The scene does a nice job of keeping me into the action. Obi wan is kind of passive while Anakin is clearly a better space pilot. The epic music seals the deal here..

17.

       Padme’s Death- An extremely sad event. The irony here is that Anakin would think she died of child birth, but in reality she died of a broken heart. The Emperor would lie to Vader trying to make him think that his force choke on Padme killed her. This is a pivotal event in the saga…

 18.

     The blowing up of the 1^st Death Star- A very tense moment from A new Hope. You keep thinking how in the world is Luke going to finally blow up the Death Star, especially considering the fact that he turned off his targeting computer. Then he had Darth Vader firing on him from behind. Luckily Han Solo showed up just in the nick of time and got the tie fighters off Luke’s back.

19.

         Darth Vader defeats Obi Wan- If Episode IV was the first movie you saw like most fans, then you don’t really understand the importance of this moment. Vader had been beaten and left for dead near a lava river of Mustafar by Obi wan. Therefore after seeing Revenge of the Sith you know how much more important this is. Otherwise, you’ll just think that this is only to fuel Luke’s motivation for wanting to kill Vader.

20.

            General Grievous reveals his 4 Light Sabers- This was an awesome moment. You think this new villain is just a cyborg, but no he actually has 4 arms with a light saber in each hand! He immediately started spinning them at Obi Wan!

I will have the top ten ready soon....
