The Jedi Council
Three members of the Jedi Council provide their top 10 moments of Star Wars
Dave
​
  1. ​Opening scene of the original movie, the Tantive IV being chased above Tatooine by Vader's Star Destroyer
  2. Luke and Vader's titanic lightsaber battle on the second Death Star, in the Emperor's Throne Room in Return of the Jedi
  3. Duel of the Fates scene from the Phantom Menace where Maul removes his hood to battle Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, at the same time as the music score notches up in volume
  4. Luke removing the stormtrooper helmet in the original movie saying, "I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you!"
  5. Leia and Luke chasing and fighting with scout troopers on speeder bikes in Return of the Jedi
  6. When Kanan assembles his lightsaber and steps out to confront the Stormtroopers in Spark of Rebellion part 2 of Rebels, Season 1 to the line, "Kid, I'm about to let everyone in on the secret", accompanied with John Williams music score
  7. The individual death scenes of each of the rebels in Rogue One, as each completes their task to get the plans (not one scene but taken together its like the deaths of the gunfighters in the Magnificent Seven, each with a 'set piece')
  8. The moment Darth Vader ignites his lightsaber and slaughters the Alderaanian rebels at the end of Rogue One
  9. In Revenge of the Sith, where Anakin and Obi-Wan duel on Mustafar, the passion and emotion in that battle - wow 
  10. The epic space battle above Endor in Return of the Jedi where the Rebel Fleet engages with the Empire's
Alex
​
  1. ​Obi-Wan Kenobi / Qui-Gon Jin vs Darth Maul in the epic lightsaber battle in the Theed Palace on the planet of Naboo in the Phamtom Menace
  2. The Dathomirian Nightbrothers Darth Maul and Savage Oppress vs Sidious in a lightsaber battle on Mandalore in the Clone Wars season 5, Episode 16 - The Lawless
  3. Vader's entrance on the Tantive IV after its capture above Tatooine in A New Hope
  4. The Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Vader lightsaber duel on the Death Star, setting one-time master against pupil for a rematch, ultimately leading to the death of Obi Wan in A New Hope
  5. Vader unleashing hell on the Rebel command ship above Scarif in Rogue One
  6. The final stand of K-2SO outside the vault on the planet of Scarif in Rogue One
  7. In Attack of the Clones, whilst Jedi battle Genosians and battle droids, on the arena floor of Geonosis, Mace Windu decapitates Jango Fett, so setting up a grudge held by Boba for Jedi in general and Mace in particular
  8. The scene where Vader stands on top of a flying TIE Advanced approaching Ezra on Malachor in season two finale of Rebels - Twilight of the Apprentice
  9. The iconic scene where the AT-ATs are  approaching the Rebel base on Hoth in the Empire Strikes Back
  10. After Kylo Ren has incapacitated Finn on the surface of Starkiller Base he summons Luke's lightsaber from the snow as his prize, whilst unbeknown to him (or the audience) Rey is using the Force herself and the lightsaber flies to her in the Force Awakens
Andy
​
  1. Luke v Vader in Palpatine’s Throne Room in Return of the Jedi where Luke takes on the two biggest villains in the galaxy
  2. Ewok Celebration from Return of the Jedi on the Forest Moon of Endor - and controversially Andy prefers the new version with the updated music
  3. The Boonta Eve Classic pod-race on Tatooine from the Phantom Menace, with the booming and hammering of Sebulba's pod racer
  4. The brilliantly filmed arrival of Kylo Ren at the beginning of the Force Awakens on the planet of Jakku
  5. The closing scenes of Luke v Vader on Bespin's Cloud City where a desperate Luke is informed, "No, I am your father" from the Empire Strikes Back
  6. Vader 'unleashing hell' aboard Raddus' command ship at the Battle of Scarif in Rogue One
  7. The Battle of Naboo, where the Gungans take on the seemingly insurmountable might of the Trade Federation in the Phantom Menace 
  8. Maul v Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in the Theed Palace on Naboo from the Phantom Menace, with possibly the greatest 4mins of music in John William's back catalogue
  9. Destruction of the first Death Star above the moon Yavin IV from A New Hope, a classic scene and one of the most iconic moments of all of the Star Wars movies
  10. The Throne Room scene aboard the Supremacy, Snoke's command ship in the Last Jedi, mainly due to the stunning cinematography and choreography during the fight scene
