It only sounds cheezy because it's an alliteration.

1. Yoda lifting the ship from the lake in EMPIRE. My favorite part in all the Star Wars films; the music is just perfect.

2. Opening battle music in STAR WARS. Sounds a lot like Mars from Holst's The Planets.

3. Final music from the Death Star battle in STAR WARS, just after the torpedo enters the shaft to where the Death Star explodes. Very tense and heightens the emotional impact of the explosion.

4. Ending music from STAR WARS (medal scene). Beautiful, beautiful music, and not just in the context of the movie.

5. The cantina music.

6. When the X-wings dive down at the start of the death star battle. Classic space-opera style cue.

7. "Binary sunset" from STAR WARS. An uplifting, poignant piece.

8. Luke discovering Owen and Beru have been murdered by the Empire. Both tragic and moving, the use of violins and the music swelling at the end.

9. The creepy music of the emperor in JEDI. Much different a tone sets it apart from the rest of the music, perfect for the emperor.

10. Jedi Rocks. (Just kidding!) Luke's backflip from the plank at the sarlac pit in JEDI. Very heroic, pure Star Wars.

11. Dark Side Beckons.

I think it was "Unlimited POWER!"
The first thing I thought of when Palpatine started his string of "No, no, no, no..." was that he sounded a lot like Gollum from Lord of the Rings.

If ANY more movies are made, there should be one prequel movie to the saga called "The Beginning," set a long time before episode I, hundreds or thousonds of years. There should also be one sequel movie to the saga called "Spawn of Jar Jar." But seriously, something like, "The Fufillment of the Prophecy" or "The New Republic."

Neither of these movies should have any major characters from episodes I-VI.

However, the best case scenario is if George Lucas JUST LEAVES STAR WARS ALONE and moves on with his life.

PS. That Alec Guiness conversation was classic.

There's a reason he said "right now." I'm sure he'll find something to change in the future, once he can step back and take a look at all six films.

Did anyone see the Braveheart spoof with the video of the Star Wars kid? I watch it every day and it makes for a great stress reliever. Is it because I feel in some way superior to the poor kid? No. No, that can't be it...
