-flyover shot of luke riding the tauntaun

-han saving luke. han may rub people the wrong way with his ego. but if you got a friend in han, you got a friend for life

-the ATAT tripping over its feet and falling

-the asteroid chase. just think - this was made in 19-frickin-80 !!

-yoda going through lukes stuff looking for something to play with. tossing things out.

-"this one, a long time i have watched. all his life as he looked away. never his mind on where he was..what he was doing!"

-yoda knwoing luke f-ed up in the cave..and not being surprised at all by it.

- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rH2PkjBFaU&feature=related perfectly written, acted, framed, staged, decorated, lighted, and scored. this scene is anti-pt.

-vader blocking laser shots with the palm of his hand

-no....there is another.

-we all know about -'i love you' 'i know' - but i also like when chewie howls in protest and gets violent. han tries to calm him down telling him it'll be alright and talking sense into him.

-seeing han frozen in carbonite for the first time. cinema buffs talk about what an unorthodox and controversial storytelling device it was for hitchcock to kill off janet leigh not even half way through pyscho. In 1980, being a 5 year old little kid and not knowing what was going to happen to han for at least 3 more years (when your less than 10, each year is a huge percentage of your life) was every bit as shocking. still the greatest cliffhanger.

-vader slowly ignites his lightsaber to duel with luke.

-the end-fight on the platform from beginning to end. i love that high overhead shot of vader and luke. the lightsabers just glow beautifully against the dark blue background. Vader telling luke the truth about hwat really happened. Luke refusing to join him (love the triumphant music).

-'bring my shuttle!' thanks harmy!!
