nova_wolf Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 ...and that includes from EU. Such as: : Luke - I am your father! or : I love! : I know! (PS - Why we have no han smilie?) or : Chewbacca in Vector Prime or Star by Star - Anakin.... or Jacen and Ganner last stand in NJO series (Which book was that... Enemy Lines II?)
Darklighter Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 For me, it was the scene between Padme and Anakin, as he confesses what he did to the Tusken Raiders. That was really emotional for me, I nearly cried:(
Katarn07 Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 TPM - Qui-Gon's death and his funeral AotC- Anakin confessing his murderous deed EPIII- The most likely best duel in the entire saga (hopefully better than TPM ) ANH - Luke seeing his uncle and aunt dead ESB - Carbonite freezing chamber and "I am your Father" RotJ - The best in the entire saga probably, the dialouge between Luke, Vader and the Emperor, the duel, and the Emperor's death, and then Anakin's death
ET Warrior Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 I agree, the scene in the Lar's garrage where Anakin is talking about killing the tusken raiders... "I..I killed them. They're all DEAD.....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!"
Boba Rhett Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 That time when Leia got hammered on Correlian Ale and slept with Chewie. That was awesome. Actually it'd probably have to be, 1. When Anakin held his dying mother. 2. When Luke flips out on Vader in RotJ 3. I AM YOUR FATHER!

CaptainRAVE Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 For me it was when Anakin's mother tells him she loves him, and then dies. A tear came in my eye when I saw this scene for the second time on DVD.
Katarn07 Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 I forgot EU! Let's see.... The entire NJO series and the entire X-Wing series. Best SW books out there, IMO.
Kstar__2 Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 anakin confessing about the tusken raider, and the moment vader died, and when he is being cremated (sp?)
Boba Rhett Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 NJO is the devil. It's the worst thing to happen to the SW universe since ummm.... I can't think of anything even close to how bad it is. It's a disgrace. /end rant
lukeskywalker1 Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 when vader died, that was sad because luke wanted to know about his dad his whole life, when he found out he was vader, he thought he could change him, then when he acheived his goal, his dad died in his arms:(
Katarn07 Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 It shows Luke's struggle to get the Jedi Order up again, and that good guys don't always win. They will win the war, but at terrible costs in battles. I don't doubt they will triumph over the Vong. I just wish they'd get Kyle Katarn into it! Kill him off nobally in battle, for all I care! At least he'll die a hero. (Uhh, I killed Kyle in DF/ JK/ MotS/ JO about 6,864,081,346 times...)

I didnt realise books were included in this thread...silly me. However I dont think there were "memorabe moments" in any of the books anyway.
Eldritch Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 It's not the most emotional of moments, but after seeing the prequels, the part in ESB where Vader says: "Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father..." It makes me think of all the stuff he went thru in the first 2 prequels (and is likely to go thru in the last one). It's kind of eerie... is eerie an emotion?

Read directions, then... I forgot to to. NJO is the most drmatic just because of the deaths of so many and losses of the heroes....
Hekx Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 I find the end of ROTJ emotional for me. I suppose the 'I am your father' part from ESB is alo emotional, but I just used to laugh at Luke's face. Also, where Luke goes postal on Vader at the end of ROTJ. Can't really think about that much from the prequel. Qui-Gon's death was quite emotional. But most of the acting from the prequels is terrible. *Cough* Hayden Christensen *Cough*
txa1265 Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 I disagree with the critical assessments of Hayden Christianson's acting. In much the same way Ewan has to meld into Alec Guiness, Hayden has to portray much of what Mark Hamill did in the OT (Yoda and Obi both talk about the similarity). So he has to be moody, petulant, whiny, argumentative, and so on... My most emotional seen in any of the SW movies is by a long shot the death of Shmi ... watching Anakin cycle through joy, despair, grief, loss, and into anger and then focused, powerful rage was something ... I saw it in theaters, IMAX, and now on DVD ... it gets me every time ... After that ... the carbon freeze scene.
Katarn07 Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 Better EU drama! Some stuff you actually see Kyle killing Maw in JK. Jan's death, Kyle threatning to kill Tavion for it, and Kyle's speech to Desann before their battle, all in JO.
adillon Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 scariest emotion ... when anakin flips out on the tusken raiders and slaughters them saddest emotion ... when chewbacca dies funniest emotion ... when obi-wan tells anakin (in EP2) that anakin will be the death of him
-s/<itzo- Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 the scene where anakin and padme were rolling around the grass.
Bob Gnarly Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 TPM - Qui-Gon's death and his funeral=almost cryed AotC- when bobas dad died and you just see boba hold his dads head to his own......i didnt even cry when my grandma died!?! but this...that weird.... ANH - Luke seeing his uncle and aunt dead=just felt sad
Kylilin Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 My sister used to cry when the Ewok gets killed in Return of the Jedi. But then again, she was 6 the first time she saw it. As for me, it would have to be when Qui-Gonn gets a light saber through the chest, I didn't like that at all.
teutonicknight Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 TPM: Opening Logo (SW was back!) Qui-Gon's death AOTC: Anakin killing Tusken Radiers Anakins mom dying Ep3: Probably the whole movie ANH: Lukes uncle/aunts remains Ben dying ESB: ROTJ: Saber duel at end Anakin dying
Katarn07 Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 Ahh, yes. The Ewok. My little sister cried to. And my older sister, who hates SW, but knows the people in it, thought it was really sad when Jango get beheaded and she saw Boba in the shadows, astonished and heart broken. She said aloud, "Is that Boba Fett?! Aww, that's sad..."
Jedi_Monk Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 But most of the acting from the prequels is terrible. *Cough* Hayden Christensen *Cough* Like father like son But seriously, I think Hayden did an excellent job. His emotions are melodramatic and very angsty in the first half of the movie, very shallow--but when things start getting serious, he shows that new depth of emotion. And I think the most emotional moment in the Saga is probably when Anakin is talking about slaughtering the tuskens. It's all in the eyes, they're almost blank, and the darkness under them... you just got this sense that you were looking into the eyes of Darth Vader's mask. And there was something more... I don't know if it was the camera angle, or the way Hayden was carrying himself, but he looked so gaunt, and so drawn-out. And, of course, you had the music going in the background. In the beginning of the scene, he's reverted--he even sounds like Jake Lloyd when he says "I'm good at fixing things, always have been..." He's this scared little boy who did an unforgivable act. There's something very haunting about that. As for the EU... little enough there But, yes, when Kyle kills Jan in the alternate ending of Jedi Knight--that's pretty emotional. And when Emperor Kyle is watching the Holo of his father telling him how proud he is, and trying to hold back the tears and then just crushes the projector... all that is great! Huge mistake not using actors for the cutscenes in Jedi Outcast! Those models can't portray emotion worth Bantha Poodoo!
