![]() ![]() But, a valid argument for Jyn Erso to make in trying to convince everyone to attack the Death Star.ĩ0. "Rebellions are built on hope" (Rogue One) - another one on the list mainly because it's in the trailer. But still, you see this scene a lot in video games, board games, and other merchandise or advertisements.ĩ1. Leia warns Luke in Cloud City (Empire Strikes Back) - perhaps an example of the sometimes lazy writing in the Star Wars saga that this line would be replicated and improved upon in the next. Jabba's Laugh (Return of the Jedi) - anytime you get a state of drunkenness based off of you and Neil Patrick Harris impersonates you, yo know you've done a good job.ĩ2. TIE Fighters in the Sun (Force Awakens) - it was in the trailer, and it's a beautiful shotĩ3. Ok, now here's the real list of most iconic moments.ĩ4. Now, it's become a must for any future Star Wars movie. My guess, George Lucas used it multiple times in "A New Hope" by accident and when people noticed he just played it off like it was a planned joke, and to hammer it home just kept using it in every other movie. "I have a bad feeling about this" - One of the more notable running gags in the Star Wars saga is the use of this phrase. Also, this line has inspired it's own holiday! Also, also, as a Catholic, it's hard to not want to respond "and also with you," (or now, "and with your spirit).Ĥ. Almost everyone gets in on this action at some point. May the Force be with you - Perhaps the most iconic line said over the whole course of the saga. But, in my mind, the 20th Century Fox logo and fanfare, right into the "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.," "Star Wars" bursting into the screen, and the opening crawl all go hand-in-hand and make me smile every time I see them.ģ. Words in space? What?! Since then, it's tough to imagine a Star Wars movie that doesn't have an opening crawl (looking at you Rogue One). Opening Logos/Crawl- I was not alive in 1977 to see the original Star Wars in theaters, but anyone who was told me that jaws dropped at the start of the movie. This just proves that John Williams is the ManĢ. The music - Whether it's the main theme, the Imperial theme, Duel of Fates, or any of the other countless melodies in Star Wars, it's hard to find someone that won't recognize the tune if you start humming, whistling, or playing it. But that's the power and impact of Star Wars, that there still are some.įirst, there are four things that deserve iconic mention by themselves:ġ. ![]() Obviously, the original trilogy and specifically "A New Hope," will have more iconic moments than the newer movie, since it's tough to call a scene from a 2016 movie iconic just a year later. Some iconic moments will resurface in the best and worst lists, yes, some iconic moments are on the worst list. ![]() Rather than narrow them down, here all 94 (I told you this would take a while). In eight movies, I tallied 94 iconic moments. The Force is strong with this one - The most iconic moments in the Star Wars saga (WRITER'S NOTE: While in compiling these lists, I watched the movies in chronological order according to the story, however, I believe first timers should watch movies in order of release date for maximum impact, and lists were complied with that in mind) So, without further ado: "Chewie, punch it." But, the way I see it, if you can make it through multiple viewings for the prequel trilogy, you can probably make it through this. In terms of the continuity issues, I will also be referencing "The Clone Wars" movie and TV series, but not "Rebels" because I haven't watched "Rebels" yet.įorty years, eight movies, and one super nerd means that this will be a rather lengthy post, so I don't expect many of you to make it all the way through this post. they are currently the "definitive" edition (unless Disney releases the unaltered versions of the movies). For this post, I will be using the Blu Ray editions, because. For reference, I have seen the eight full length movies starting with the digitally remastered original series, extended editions, and Blu Ray remakes. I will also run through a few continuity errors (and things done right across 40+years), Easter Eggs, and a few miscellaneous things I noticed along the way. In anticipation of December's release of "The Last Jedi," I rewatched all eight movies and have come up with a list of the most iconic moments, best, worst, and funniest moments in the series. The newest editions, "Force Awakens" and "Rogue One," are welcome additions to the saga and I am eagerly awaiting "The Last Jedi." Even the originals have moments that I could do without. Opinions and debates have raged in conversation, and my own head, as to the quality of the prequels. ![]()
