![]() His viewpoint has that lived-in quality the films always strive to find.ģ3. While funny, it also reveals just how far Han himself has come since dismissing the way of the Jedi as a “hokey religion.” It’s a fact of life for him, but it’s not as magical to him as some would like to believe. Han’s (Harrison Ford) indignant response to Finn’s (John Boyega) wishful thinking is a refrain nearly every Star Wars fan has heard during some heated late-night discussion. “That’s Not How The Force Works!” – The Force Awakens It also feels like such a natural part of Star Wars that we wonder how it went so long without a high-speed heist scene like this.ģ4. From the notion of the gravity-defying fuel transports to Beckett’s (Woody Harrelson) plan, to all the ways it goes wrong, it feels like a proper introduction to these characters (even Thandie Newton’s doomed Val). Unique in the live-action Star Wars canon, the train heist from Solo: A Star Wars Story should be its opening moments. The Train Heist – Solo: A Star Wars Story It’s the kind of fan-film energy we can definitely appreciate.ģ5. Finding the Millennium Falcon in a junkyard, flying it through the carcass of a Star Destroyer, and defending it from TIE Fighters all feels like a fantasy a fan would’ve had in 1983 immediately upon exiting Return of the Jedi. If The Force Awakens is a film about fans taking control of the Star Wars toy chest, then this scene is a visual representation of that transition of authority. ![]() Rey Flies The Falcon Off Jakku – The Force Awakens The feeling quickly switches to dread as the film’s heroes race to escape the wave of destruction.ģ6. Even simple ideas like depicting the space station “upside down” gives it a unique and oddly contemplative mood just before the weapon fires and utterly annihilates the city below. The composition of shots, editing, and music tell the tale of the Death Star’s test-fire in a way far more sophisticated and affecting than one might guess from the previous scenes in the film. This is a moment built on the quality of the filmmaking. The Destruction of Jedha City – Rogue One: A Star Wars Story It’s a strange scene, but also a demonstration of the Jedi master’s power in his prime.ģ7. He takes on a Sith apprentice nearly three times his size by transforming into a lightsaber-wielding whirling dervish. While co-opted for an unfortunate “Yo da man!” ad campaign for Attack of the Clones’ home video release, this fight was a genuinely unexpected thing when the film premiered, and an inkling of what might be possible for Yoda (Frank Oz) in Episode III. ![]() But which moments rank supreme? We’ve considered the eight Skywalker Saga films thus far and the two Star Wars Story films for a comprehensive look at the moments we expect to stand the test of time and end up as the best of Star Warsfor decades to come.ģ8. Some of these moments are deeply ingrained in the culture, reshaping the very language, while others earned their power from infamy (oh, hey there, Jar-Jar) or, like Willrow Hood’s escape from Cloud City, needed time and the Internet to acquire their status. But the story will live on not just in the inevitable spinoff material, but in the memories of audiences affected by the films’ fantastical adventures, visuals, key lines, and ideas. I would not hesitate to buy more MDF kits from Uncertain Scenery.With the imminent arrival of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the film series’ main narrative will come to a close. It is in no way heavy or clunky, and appears to me to be 'in scale' through out. I would thoroughly recommend this kit to anyone. The finished model to my eye is a very realistic and convincing model of a Comms dish. The parts went together very easily and in a logical sequence, and though many parts appeared fragile created a very robust model. The kit parts were easy to remove from the sprues, and required very little, if any cleaning up prior to assembly. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. When the kit arrived I was impressed by how well the kit was packaged to prevent damage during postage. I had never made an MDF kit before, and did have concerns the finished model may appear heavy and clunky. I decided to order the Comm/Sensor Dish to use as a terrain feature, and objective on a 28mm wargaming board. After many years making plastic and resin kits, I stumbled upon Uncertain Scenery, and their MDF kits.
