    Visually, you cannot beat the Darth/Luke battle scene in the carbonite freezing chamber in ESB… it is like art. The orange and the blue are so beautiful

    There are so many good ones but here are a couple that came to mind when I saw this question:

    From RotJ: “Never. I’ll never turn to the dark side. You’ve failed, your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me.”

    From ESB: “I don’t believe it!” “That is why you fail.” plus Yoda’s “luminous beings” speech.

    From Andor: Kino Loy’s “one way out” monologue over the intercom during the prison break.

      From Mando: the part in The Tragedy when Fett goes absolutely fucking HAM on the bucketheads as they’re trying to advance at the base of the mountain (this is the one scene that got me super stoked for the Boba Fett series)

      From Boba Fett:

    Unironically, “you were my brother, Anakin. I loved you” though I suppose it is more of just a line rather than a whole scene. Ewan was too good for those films.

    The opening scene. Lots of movies had featured spaceships like the one we initially see fleeing. When it reveals the size of the star destroyer, we know that it’s going to be a new type of story.

      I love that they show Leia’s ship coming in from the bottom of the frame, so we’re above it, but then the star destroyer from the top, so we see it from below. Really ups the intimidation factor and ensures we know who we’re rooting from before anyone has even spoke a word.

      When the Star Destroyer appeared, too big to fit onto the screen, I knew that science fiction movies had just changed.

    In The Phantom Menace, the entire podrace scene. Yes, it’s goofy as heck, but man does George Lucas know how to make some pure campy exciting fun.

    In A New Hope, the trench runs. God, they’re just SO COOL, especially on a big screen.

    In The Force Awakens, Han being rescued by the Resistance, from the time Han Solo is captured to the time Leia shows up, is a masterclass example of editing and music.

    Binary Sunset. Luke staring pensively out into the distance as he considers his place in the universe and where it may or may not go. I’d be staggered to find anyone who can’t relate to that.

    I thought for a second that the OP of the other post had changed the title (missed opportunity, there).

    Serious answer: TIE fighter pilots climbing into their ships against the backdrop of The Eye, with the klaxons fitting perfectly with the music.

    The finality of Rogue One, Order 66, Luke looking into the double sunset, and Luke choosing to not kill his father after defeating him even though the emperor wants him to.

    The trench run, and specifically the sequence of Luke being left as last man standing when Biggs is killed, then “Use the force, Luke,” “You may fire when ready,”, “I have you now,” and “You’re all clear kid, now let’s blow this thing and go home,” BOOOOOM!!!

    Just absolute movie perfection.

    Oh and also, “I love you,” “I know”.

    “So, you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her, too. Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete.”

    And then the music goes, Luke fights back, emperor cackling, just greatness.
