For me it was always the AT-ATs on Hoth. It still blows me away even now to watch. My favorite scene from Star Wars. Love it.

There's nothing more powerful than the main theme , I can whistle it and get the chills. But besides that , it's gotta be the imperial death March ..... duh duh duh duh dunuh duh dunuh

I was fortunate to see STAR WARS back in 77. I was 6 and it's hard to say. Everything about it was awesome. The story, characters, music, effects all were amazing and new. ESB when we first see but a glimpse of real Jedi force power, Yoda and the Xwing. That scene still gives me chills everytime I think about it.Ewan McGregor as OBI Wan Kenobi in the prequels. To see his portrayal of the younger Ben is without a doubt my favorite aspect of the franchise as a whole. Sir Alec Guinness would be proud of the lad from the north. Favorite quotes, "she doesn't look like much, but she's got it where it counts" "Do, or do not. There is no try"
and of course. "The Force will be with you,Always"

@Gorobulus That's such a fantastic scene! Much as I loved the prequel lightsaber combat, this is the most emotionally charged duel, in my book, and part of me was really happy seeing that emotionally driven, untrained dueling return in TFA.

@Nausicaa Absolutely, I love all the iconic sounds. TIE's screaming through the air and lightsabers are my favorite. Battlefront did a spot on job with the sound design.

@Jbeem Never apologize, friend. Never apologize XD

@Adam, thanks! I can totally relate

@Lim Too true. Strip back all the light and magic, and these would still be characters and stories I'd love. But some X-Wings and astromechs don't hurt, either ;D

@Ottomatix Obi-Wan is definitely one of the very best parts of Star Wars.

Hi Borommakot,

Please may I tell you my favourite moment?
Well I was unlucky, I was born in '75 so sorta missed ANH and ESB, but made up for it in a big way! I knew the projectionist at my local cinema and got to see a special screening of "both" films just before ROTJ hit theatres here in the UK. All of the above hit me, Star Destroyer, Vader and the airlock, "Don't play games with me your highness" etc,etc, There are too many throughout the films.

I hope you all don't mind but I thought I had to do what I do best and am back posting for now and see how it goes, thanks

I think we all can agree on these moments:
1. Ep IV ANH, Luke Skywalker walks onto a hill on his homestead in Tatooine, he looks up to the horizon and watches the two Suns set, and in the background is one of John William's greatest scores in his career. The sheer beauty and climax of the music makes the audience feel the same way Luke might of felt at that moment.
2. Ep V ESB, Han getting put into carbonite, the lighting is menacing and one of the greatest lines in Star Wars, Leia: "I love you." Han replies with unwavering certainty, "I know." Then he is slowly dipped into the chamber were once again John William's captures the sinister and evil mood of Darth Vader and the dark side. ALSO in this same movie, the most important part: Luke has been defeated by Darth Vader, he is mortally wounded and hang for dear life. Vader offers Luke an ultimatum to which Luke strongly rejects, refusing to join the likes of Vader, the man who supposedly murdered his father, but then Vader unleashes one of the greatest lines of cinematic history, so famous even people who have never seen Star Wars know what it is, "No, I AM your Father!" Mind-blown plot-twist.
3. Ep VI RotJ, the final moments of the duel between Vader and Luke. Luke unleashes his rage on Vader and embraces the dark side for a moment to destroy Vader and save his father Anakin. This moment is very emotionally, because at this point we can tell that Vader is struggling to keep up with the fury of his son, but is finally defeated but is spared. Later, after Luke comes to his senses, the Emperor attempts to electrify Luke to death with Sith Lightning. Luke, helpless, begs for his father to save him. Vader musters what little strength he has left to save his child. We can all agree that even though much of Vader was evil, he found the light to brush aside his hate for himself and do what any father would do.
4. Ep III RotS, Anakin has been defeated and left for dead on Mustafar, but his new evil Master was able to salvage what was left of his apprentice. Moments we see what I believe the only good defining moments of the prequels: the birth of Darth Vader. Under another score by John Williams, a chorus captures the moment of Vader rising into being, then we hear IT, the Infamous breathes of the man in black armor, how haunting that sound is.
5. That ONE scene from TFA, you know which one I'm talking about. Man talk about a tear jerker! But I really love how well it was done, imo I thought it was a beautiful example of excellent filmotography, lighting, and directory.
Anyway, those are moments that usually give ME goosebumps.

Darth Vader breathing. Pretty much the most iconic sound ever.

I'm with ya Brax. I was 6 when I saw it with my mom in '77. Has been a life long love. I think for me the awe moment was Obi-Wan cutting off the arm of the guy harassing Luke in Mos Eisley cantina.That one scene is what led me to Saber Forge 38 years later. The Force works in mysterious ways.
