I like the positivity of this. Will do what snooker did:

TPM: Anakin leaving Shmi - “Don’t look back” and that amazing Williams music is good stuff

AOTC: Anakin finding Shmi - pretty much the only real emotion in the whole movie, easily one of the best PT scenes

ROTS: Obi-wan and Padme’s scene together - minus the younglings bit it’s some of the best acting in the PT, and Williams goes into overdrive here (leading as well into the scene immediately following, with Anakin ruminating on Mustafar)

Solo: The one two punch of the Kessel escape and the Kessel Run is up there with the best SW action/adventure sequences

RO: I’m not sure but probably the scene where Jyn sees her father’s hologram - Jones’s acting and the intercutting with the Death Star sell what could have been a painfully dull expositional monologue

ANH: Kind of a lame answer but it’ll always be the binary sunset for me, followed closely by “Use the Force, Luke” - the two best moments in any SW film

TESB: Hard to pick but either when Yoda lifts the X-Wing or when Luke’s parentage is revealed

ROTJ: “I’m a Jedi, like my father before me” “So be it. Jedi.” - no explanation needed

TFA: Rey finding Luke, but also maybe Finn and Poe escaping the Finalizer - both provide an absolutely infectious level of excitement (for different reasons)

TLJ: Hard choice but I’d have to go with Luke and Ben’s confrontation - there’s a lot that it’s accomplishing, but deep down the kid in me most loves that it’s the ultimate fulfillment of Luke as incredible Jedi Master, and the adult in me is so glad that that’s done tactfully and cleverly
