- The opening crawl.
- The first shot of the film, dropping onto the space battle.
- How technology with ships starting looking more like the original trilogy.
- The addition of Tarkin. Extra points for it not being completely IN YOUR FACE.
- How Anakin shut the door before busting up Gunray.
- The slaughtering of the younglings.
- The way that order 66 was shot and scored.
- Yoda busting up the two Emperor's guards upon arrival.
- The first half of Anakin's fight w/ Obi-Wan, before they got on the floating chunks in the lava.
- Vader choking Padme.
- The first time the Emperor put on his cloak, after getting deformed. (gave me chills)
- The closing scene. I disagree that it should be switched with the Tarkin scene. I think the story continues around Luke, so it was important to end on him, as a pointer to the future.
