*drum roll*
Welcome to Part 1 of my 4 part series entitled :The Top 100 Things I'll Never Forget About Star Wars. This is the series I previewed in
this blog. For once, I'm on time and I've compiled 100 things I'll never forget.
Today we look at numbers 100-60...
100. Lando's Pathetic Disguise: I wouldn't be caught dead in the teriible disguise he wore into Jabba's Palace. But maybe everyone in there was too drunk to notice him.
99. Mouse droids: They are seen in the Death Star and on Mustafar. These little droids are very similar to the robots developed on Earth today.
98. Han With A Lightsaber: When I bought the McQuarrie Han I saw he came with a lightsaber. Even though it wasn't his weapon of choice, he did use it to cut open the stinking body of the tauntaun and save Luke's life. Those tauntaun guts are disgusting.
97. E.T. in Episode I: Did you see them? way off to the left.
96. Jar-Jar's Suggestion: Is he crazy?! Well, yeah. He gave the chancellor immediate emergency powers which eventually led to the fall of the Republic. But who gave him this power? More and more evidence builds against Padme.
95. Bigger Fish: Although sorta cheesy, this scene is one of the most outstanding in my mind.
94. Qui-Gon and the Chance Cubes: Was Qui-Gon cheating? Well, yeah, but......
93. Mention of the Death Star in Episode II: The ultimate weapon. Or, "Click, click clicka donk." as Poggle the Lesser would say.
92. Sy Snootles: Disturbing. The image is seared into my retina.
91. "Die Wanna Wanga!" What? On a side note, I was able to find out how to spell that by using
my Episode VI script.
90. Luke in a Diaper: This is a weird scene that my brother and I make fun of a lot. Sorry LILWL.
89. Gree decapitated: This is just plain cool. Yoda senses the clones' betrayal and takes action before they can. With a swift stroke the two clones seem to have lost their heads.
88. Space slug: Kinda a cliche but entertaining nonetheless. Plus, it's the only scene that made me jump.
87. Queen's Dresses: Well, you can always barter with the queen's wardrobe, right? I suppose she donated the extra dresses to charity.
86. Endor Speeder Bikes: Although the action can get slow at times, it's still a fun piece to watch.
85. Obi-Wan Regains Consciousness Near Anakin's Butt: One of the LILWA wrote a blog about how the Episode III book goes into a deeper discussion of this event. I recall it was hilarous.
84. First Look at the Emperor: Glowing yellow squirrelish eyes on a wrinkled face? Scary.
83. Han's Prison Cell Conversation: Han: "Everything is under control. Situation normal." "What happened." "Uh...had a slight weapons malfunction. But, uh, everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?" "We're sending a squad up." "Uh, uh, negative, negative. We had a reactor leak here now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak....very dangerous. "Who is this? What's your operating number?" Han blasts the comlink, "Boring conversation anyway." (Exact quote courtesy of my Episode IV script.)
82. Zam: She changes shape before your very eyes!
81. Nute and Anakin: It's half funny half sad how Nute begs for Anakin to spare his life.
80. "Ah, victory.": It's a great quote to use whenever you beat anyone at anything.
79. Yoda's Fall: The scene where Yoda is hanging on to the last Senate pod in Episode III is a testament to the fantastic CGI work.
78. Watto: It's funny just to look at him.
77. R2 and the Plans: So, R2 had these plans all along and he told nobody? Well, I guess there is a good reason why 3PO had his mind wiped in Episode III.
76. Opening Shot of Episode I: It doesn't have quite the splendor of the opening shot of Episode IV, but it still captures the eyes and the imagination.
75. Kit Fisto: Who wouldn't love a green dude with 20 or so tentacles.
74. Coleman Trebor's Death: Remember him? The only Jedi brave enough to attempt to kill Dooku after Mace jumped off the ledge in the Arena Battle.
73. Ending of Episode I: So maybe the whole Gungan thing went a little far, but it's a joyful ending to an often underrated movie.
72. Dianoga: It's all in the name.
71. Boga and the Sneak Attack: Perhaps Grievious's audio receptors couldn't pick up the screeching Boga.
70.Anakin's Test in Episode I: "A ship." "A cup" "Another ship." Wow Anakin, what've they been teachin' you in school? But, I guess he was a slave.
69. "Credits will do fine.": "No they won't!"
68: Tarpal's Doo-Doo: Okay, not literally. But I love in when he says, "oooh Jar-Jar, yousa in big doo-doo this time!" Maybe the quote's not right on, but hey, I don't have the PT scripts!
67. Greivious and His Guards: One word......Cool
66. The Sarlacc: It takes a thousand years to digest you! Ouchie!
65. 3PO Hiding Behind a Car: In Episode IV after R2 has gone missing it appears that 3PO is hiding behind a car when Luke walks in.
64. Jabba Spitting a Head: I'm not sure what unlucky creature got to bang the gong. But banging the gong in this way wasn't such an honor.
63. Through the Machinery: It's a trap! No, wait, it's a maze of machines!
62. Boba's Death: Kinda lame for such an interesting character.
61. Luke Attacked by a Tusken: Okay, this part made me jump the first time I saw it too.
60. Mundi's death: It's really sad. He never suspects anything until it's too late. But who would suspect that something was wrong. Mundi trusted the clones.
That's all for now folks! Tune in tomorrow for numbers 59-40! Thanks for reading!
May the Force be with us all! God bless!
