What are your favorite top Star Wars moments? I'll start with some mine. Let yours in the comments below. This isn't in order.

1.) Binary Sunset. I absolutely love this scene for a multitude of reasons. The score is just absolutely beautiful and Luke staring off into the sunset wondering what he'll do in life always hits me. I'm at a similar point in my life not really having a direction. The scene has always impacted me pretty hard and the shots are beautiful especially with the Force theme playing.

2.) My 2nd favorite scene is probably Vader/Anakin's death. This scene always impacted me hard. I'm sure Anakin was terrified of what Luke would think of him and if Luke would forgive him for all the evil he did. As Luke takes off his helmet and smiles warmly and lovingly towards his father it always impacts me because Anakin smiles after he realizes his son has genuine love for him. We can all learn from Luke and his forgiving nature. Not to mention Anakin's last words are "You were right." which is a direct echo to Padme's last words which were "You were right." Beautiful scene and beautiful poetry. 

3.) My third favorite has to be Vader revealing he is Luke's father. This one speaks for itself...literally the greatest movie plot twist of all time. Nothing compares. The line delivery and atmosphere is perfect.

4.) Anakin and Obi-Wan arguing and their duel on Mustafar. These scenes are just perfect. Their dialogue on Mustafar is very entertaining and powerful. Hayden played evil Anakin perfectly and the soundtrack is freaking sick man. You can almost feel the power of each swing Anakin and Obi-Wan take at eachother. The choreography is probably the best you could see in any movie/show. Ewan and Hayden did perfect. I also love the soundtracks name "Battle of the Heroes" which is literally whats happening. Anakin and Obi-Wan the two main heroes of the republic are dueling. Brothers are fighting and have to kill eachother. Tragic. 

5.) Luke & Vader's hallway scenes. These are both sick and I can rate one over the other. Vader is pure aggression and rage and Luke is more laid back. The scenes are very similar and I love the father son dynamic. 

6.) Luke and Vader's conversation on Endor. I love this scene because it shows Vader's confliction no matter how much he denies it. The fact he says "It is too late for me son." Proves he's conflicted but he just thinks he's too far gone. It proves he wishes he could join Luke and become good again but he views it as impossible just like everyone else besides Luke and Padme. There's a lot of power behind this scene. 

7.) Ahsoka leaving in TCW. This scene is heartbreaking and further demonstrates why Anakin's hatred grew for the council. They did Ahsoka so wrong to the point she leaves. The score is incredibly sad too. Great scene and it just pulls your heartstrings. 

8.) Anakin vs Ahsoka in the Ahsoka show. This scene was perfect dude Hayden came back and did great. His acting was perfect and he got Matt Lanter's voice down pretty well. The Clone Wars flashbacks were awesome and the choreography was pretty good (Obviously not near PT level) I love how Anakin comes back with the red lightsaber too and the flicker of Vader that we see. We're seeing Anakin at his max potential...The Chosen One. 

Anyway these are just the ones I thought of while making the post. This isn't in any particular order besides the first 3. There's 10x more that I could think of that I love.  Throughout most of this post I was going off of scenes not moments that's why I excluded most of the duels. I changed it to moments at the end to have more variety. Luke Vs Vader on Bespin and ROTJ are in the top 5 for me. What's great about Star Wars duels is they aren't just action they're powerful and carry emotional weight.
