Hi:
I just got the latest SW Insider, and it featured *their* top 10 OT moments.
What are yours?
Mike
Here are mine:
My personal criteria are the impact that they had when first seen, as well as lasting impact and appeal.
10 - Sail Barge Assault (first real Jedi kick-butt moment)
9 - I love you ... I know (both times ;) )
8 - I am a Jedi, like my father before me ... now, young jedi, you *will* die ...
7 - Dagobah Cave fight
6 - Yoda on Dagobah
5 - Appearance of Darth Vader
4 - Luke turns on the lightsaber.
3 - Final Duel between Vader & Luke (incl. awesome music)
2 - The opening crawl and Blockade Runner assault
1 - I am your father ... I was so blown away in 1980.
