Swoosh Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 I got this idea from another thread and thought it deserved it's own... List your most emotional SW moment and tell us why Mine is in AOTC at Shmi's funeral when Anakin approaches her tombstone, kneels down, and says his goodbye. "I let you down mom, but I promise it won't happen again." Then he stands and Hayden drops his best line of the movie, "I miss you...soooo much." This whole part made me feel how Anakin was feeling...like he let down the only person that ever took care of him and gave everything for him. He went a decade without seeing her and felt guilty because of it...this horrible pain he suffered could only be suppressed with his promise to not let anything like it happen again. That was his last promise to his mother, one he would keep the rest of his life (even through the Vader years when he eventually saves Luke). That's it for me, but keep in mind I am too young to have seen the OT in theaters, so some of you may not agree with me Swoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmjedi Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 My favorite emotional moment from all the films is when Vader is probing Luke's mind for information and find's out about Leia being his daughter. Then he tells Luke that if he won't turn that maybe "Sister will" Luke completly losing it and going after Vader because he want's to protect his sister. He starts to get Anakin thinking about what he has become and we see Anakin redeemed. That was for me what the OT was all about. Bringing back Vader after all the things that he had done and even forgetting about his mother. I really wonder what would of happened if Luke knew about his Grandmother and brough it up to Anakine? I really wonder how Vader would of reacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SettingShadow Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 I agree totally with Ratm, that was the most emotional scence in SW, the music is very emotional too, how Luke ignites his saber and yells "NOOOOO" and then bursts out on Vader, his saber fighting aint the best but hes anger and frustration combined with that Vader was surprised overwhelmed Vader. My favorite scene in SW is when Vader throws Palpatine down the exhaust shaft (sp?), I cant describe it but it was so well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova_wolf Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Dude - with you two there. Other sequence that I always like for emotion is Han being frozen. It could have been so smushy and all, but they kept his personailty to the end. Leia: I love you. Han: I know. Seriously - I don't know anyone who could say that and live... I was character continuity - I loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Kabe getting a drink in ANH. Brings a tear to the eye everytime I witness it.. *sniff* (lol, none really, but still my favorite in the saga!) No, really, the epic duel and dialouge between Vader and Luke throughout RotJ.

Carbon_sleeper Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 For me, it's when Vader is looking back and forth, watching the emperor kill his son, then suddenly he'd had enough and attacks his master, saving his son. I actually got chills just thinking of that scene just now. It's awesome when John Williams comes in with that music right when vader turns back to the good side.

LiMP RABBiT Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Ahem.... have you seen the trilogy? It has to be, "I am your father". Even the first time I saw it (when I was about 8) it was still really emotional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tie Guy Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 I've got two. The first is the binary sunset on Tatooine. The scene is one of the best scenes in movie history, IMO. You just feel Luke's burning desire to be free, explore the galaxy, have adventures. You can see the look of total despair in his face as he realizes his life will never mean anything, never have any importance. He doesn't think he'll ever be free, and that he'll be doomed to living a normal life on a backwater planet for the rest of eternity. You can also see a hint of longing for his father, the mysterious figure he never knew. His uncle tells him that he was a freighter pilot, but he can sense that he was more, that his father was someone important. He longs to know him, yes, but even more he longs to be him. And to make it even better, the music is absolutely masterfull. Truly an incredible scene. The second is the funeral pyre scene at the end of ROTJ. Luke lights his own father's funeral pyre. This was the man whom he always long to know, longed to be. But then he found out his father was the very man he was fighting against and he was afraid. But he overcame his fear, his anger, and defeated him, redeemed him. He finally had the father he had always wanted and dreamed of, but then he died, torn from his grasp as soon as he had been won. The scene perfectly conveys Luke's grief, his sorrow, even fear, that comes with knowing your own limitations. Anikan experienced a similar feeling. But the scene is more than sorrow and sadness, it is honor. You can just feel when you see Luke standing in front of the massive flame that here lies the greatest Jedi that ever lived. Star Wars should have ended with this scene. Starting down on the pyre, the camera would lift up into the boundless starry sky filled with renewed hope and opportunity, and the credits would role.

Taos Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I've got two as well, both within the same one hour span. First is when they freeze Han Solo into the carbonite. I was almost in tears.... The second is "Luke, I am your father." Then Luke's deal "no, that can't be true, that's not possible." Man that was some good stuff. ESB overall is an excellent movie.

Kuuki Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 my favorate two: 1: "Luke I am your Father..." "No! It can't be! Thats Impossible!" 2: well, just when luke was bashing his lightsaber down on Vader on ROTJ, then he slices vader's hand, noticing it was robotic, then looks it his hand (which was also robotic...)

Katarn07 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I to was 8 when I first saw the SW trilogy, and my favorite scene was when Vader picked up Palpatine and killed both himself and his master to save his son. I just knew it was going to happen, when Luke was begging for mercy and Vader turns to Luke and the Emperor. The entire stuff between Luke, Vader, and Palpatine in RotJ is great.

Katarn07 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I couldn't believ it! I yelled out to my Dad, "Did he really die?!" It was comforting enough though when I heard him say, "Run, Luke, run!" I knew he'd be back in ESB and RotJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckcsaber Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Yes all the ones you metioned were great. I especially agree with Tie Guy on the twin sunset scene. A very emotional scene was when Anakin holding his dead mothers body, stares at her. His facial expressions are top notch. The disbelief morphing into the hatred. Very well done Hayden!

Me too man. I always thought about that scene and was like what that? I never that there were charred body's ever in the movies untill one day I was watching the OT and I noticed that. I even played it back and was like "Those are burned body's". I always wondered what made them like that cause we always see people get shot in the OT and the NT and there has never been anything like that. That scene I think is very dark cause it is showing the dead body's all burned up and it looks more like a cemetery there than it does of a Moisture Farm.

Andy867 Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 I think the most emotional moments are (from most emotional to least): - When Anakin watches his mother die in his arms, and just overall mood. If I were there, I would have done the same thing he did. - When Vader says that he is Luke's father. - When Luke watches his father die in his arms - Padme says to Anakin I've been dying a little each day since you've come back into my life Anakin: What? Padme: I Love you - Twin Sunset - When luke cuts off his father's hand, then realizes its the same hand that Vader cut off from Luke. There are others, but those will do. ok, I'm all better now:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 It used to be: Vader: I am your father! Luke: Noooooooooo! That suprised the hell outta me. Now it is: Anakin: I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too! They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals! I HATE THEM! The emotion in that scene blew me away. Anakin's slow decent towards the dark side. His eyes say it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 I'll weigh on that line too, it is. One of the most misquoted lines in the SW universe. To set it up, I have used the surrounding dialogue, to put it into context.... Vader:"Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father" Luke:"He told me enough. He told me you killed him" Vader:"No..... I am your father" - just checked the video to be sure though..... (He does pause as well) Luke:"No..... No..... That can't be true. That's impossible(not possible? )..... Noooooooooo, Noooooo.." Word for word off the SE video of TESB... Anyway, back to the topic at hand - I have a few moments. One of them is when I first heard the Imperial March in TESB, the new definition of a theme for evil. Now every evil theme is full of low, bass-like sounds... Yoda dying is another one, especially now, since we see him in more detail in the PT. Have learnt to love that little puppet... Han in going into the carbonite - Can't have all the characters in a bad way, can we? Lucas decided to rewrite how many characters can be left in the lurch in a multi-movie saga... Darth Maul and the beginning of the Deul Of The Fates music - If I wondered if the new movies would give me the same buzz, this was the scene that showed me it was there... Both Death Star explosions...... Nuff said - good triumphed over evil.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
