![]() Again, people like to hate on the furry guys, but admit it…you love the end scene of Return of the Jedi. Speaking of Ewoks, they throw the best parties. Princess Leia: “You’re a jittery little thing, aren’t you?”ġ0. We know he’s not dangerous, even though he’s holding some sort of spear, and we just want him and Leia to be friends so we can continue to watch him be cute. I admit, I’m a sucker for this scene because it’s just plain cute and silly. She’s curious about him, and he’s definitely weary of her, even when she tries to offer him food. The cutest of all, of course, is our Ewok hero Wicket, who Princess Leia meets after her disastrous speeder bike ride. They’re cute, they’re fuzzy, and they will attack you if you piss them off. Hate on the Ewoks all you want, but I like ‘em. We get a small glimpse into who Anakin really was before he became more machine than man, and even though 16 years later we get to see the evolution of Anakin Skywalker, we cherish this moment between Luke and his father, the father he never knew, the man he could finally forgive.Īnakin: “Tell your sister…you were right.”ġ1. He saves his son, giving his own life in the process, and as he lay dying on the ground in his son’s arms, we see the real face of not Darth Vader, but Anakin Skywalker. ![]() We’ll never root for him, right?

Luke: “I was born here, you know.” Han Solo: “You’re gonna die here, you know. But it’s a fun scene to watch now – hearing Lando’s hilarious scream as he falls towards the mouth before he’s rescued, watching Boba Fett’s unfortunate demise, and the exciting conclusion of Luke and Han breaking free and destroying Jabba’s sail barge right before Leia makes her own escape after strangling Jabba with the chain from which she was captured. As a kid I was terrified of the Sarlaac, which probably had more to do with my fear of falling than the actual monster itself. Escape From the Sarlaac ( Return of the Jedi)Īfter Jabba the Hut’s little party gets crashed by Luke Skywalker and company in attempts to rescue the carbonite-frozen Han Solo, Luke and Han are sentenced to execution by way of Sarlaac, which is a horrible way to die because basically you’re dropped into a hole deep in the hot desert of Tatooine only to be eaten and digested by a huge mouth lined with several rows of sharp teeth. So in honor of the second greatest movie trilogy of all time, I’ve decided to dedicate this week’s Awesome 13 list to Star Wars and its 13 awesome moments.ġ3. ![]() It suddenly came to me today that after over a year of blogging about things that I love, I’ve never really talked much about Star Wars except for the times I’ve written about film scores.
