Obi-Wan nonchalantly shows us how strong the Force truly is. With a swipe of his hand, he "convinces" the sandtroopers "these are not the droids you're looking for."
The Millennium Falcon might not look like much -- until it gets kicked it into hyperspace, that is. Once Han Solo and Chewbacca get the Falcon going, you can see how that bucket of bolts did the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.
In Empire Strikes Back, we finally get a glimpse of what's under the mask of Darth Vader. And what we see is not pretty.

The battle arena scene was all kinds of awesome in Attack of the Clones, but the highlight was Mace Windu's decapitation of poor Jango Fett.
You'll never look at a garbage chute the same way again after seeing the trouble Luke, Han and Leia find themselves in A New Hope.

In Revenge of the Sith, Darth Sidious commences "Order 66," which is the extermination of all Jedis. Anakin Skywalker-turned-Darth-Vader carried out the evil order on this dark day in the galaxy.

Within seconds we get our first glimpse of Darth Vader, Princess Leia, C-3PO and R2-D2 and an awesome gunfight.
Everyone remembers the first time they watched Return of the Jedi and got to see Princess Leia in her iconic gold bikini.

Once Darth Vader's mask is lowered onto his badly burnt head and his first iconic breath is taken, we see the rise of one of the greatest villains in cinema.
Darth Maul wasn't around for very long, but he did possess the most kick-ass weapon in any galaxy: a double-bladed lightsaber.
Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn's two-on-one duel against Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace showed how exciting a lightsaber battle could be.
After watching Darth Maul defeat Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan uses the Force to leap and grab his Jedi Master's lightsaber to slice the Sith in half.
This was the showdown every fan was waiting for: Anakin versus Obi-Wan. The epic battle between former master and apprentice on Mastafar ended with Obi-Wan badly beating Anakin, who was burnt alive on the lava planet.

It doesn't get much more intense than Han Solo carefully navigating the Millennium Falcon through an asteroid field in Empire Strikes Back.
This wasn't the most agile lightsaber duel in Star Wars history, but who cares? It's freakin' Obi-Wan versus Darth Vader for the final time.
Obi-Wan throws everyone a curveball by sacrificing himself so Luke can fulfill his destiny. Darth Vader is in such shock that he had to investigate Obi-Wan's robes to make sure he finished the job.
This is what everything in Star Wars had been building to: the redemption of Anakin Skywalker. As the Emperor is draining the life of Luke, Vader gives balance to the Force by killing the Sith Lord and saving his son's life in Return of the Jedi.
It doesn't get much better than the aerial assault that led to Luke Skywalker using the Force to destroy the planet-destroying Death Star.
This lightsaber match between father and son was a little hard to watch at times, with Luke being so easily overpowered by the stronger Darth. On top of that, Vader drops the emotional bomb/quotable line, "No, I am your father."
