The Top 100 Things I'll Never Forget About Star Wars : Part 3
Hey evryone! Thanks for tuning back in to see part 3!

Today's list will cover #29-11.....

29. 3PO Naked: It's alway funny to see the first time R2 and 3PO meet. But instead of being a joyful time when they realize, hey, we can be good friends, R2 makes a remark about 3PO's parts showing. Not a great first impression for either of them.

28. Grievous's Cough: "Hack! Gag! Cough!" You can hear him coming a mile away, not like that's gonna do you much good unless you can get out of there immediately.

27. Obi Watches The Video Recording: "...only pain will you find." Sure enough. Obi can't believe what he is seeing. Only thing that is odd though is how the Temple video recording shows activities in Palpatine's office. If they could spy on him like that why did they need Anakin to?

26. Palpy's Flying Spin: "Are you threatening me Master Jedi?" Then, with one flying leap out of the chair he stabs two blissfully unaware Jedi.

25. Yoda vs. Dooku: An epic fight. Yoda leaping off of practically everything and Dooku blocking his every strike. If you ask me, Yoda had the upper hand until Dooku trying to collapse a rock on Obi-Wan and Anakin.

24. Episode III Space Battle: One of the greatest shows of computer animation in the Star Wars saga. The Vulture droids are the coolest.

23. Dooku's Loss Of Head: "It's not the Jedi way." Much debate is forged over how this was unJedi-like and how Mace's attempt to kill the old wrinkled Palpatine was fine. Dooku was literally defenseless. He was trapped between two saber blades with no hands. Palpy obviously had Force lightning and control of the Senate. Far from helpless if you ask me.

22. "I have a bad feeling about this.": The only line besides "May the Force be with you," that runs through the whole saga.

21. Hurling Senate Pods: This is a really cool fight where Palpy figuratively destroys democracy by literally smashing Senate pods. My favorite part is where Yoda catches one and spins it towards Palpatine.

20. Lightsaber: "Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. A elegant weapon for a more civilized age."

19. Trench Run: Luke, Wedge, and Biggs dive into the trench for a last shot. Right behind them is Vader and two troopers. Wedge is damaged and pulls out, Biggs is killed, but Luke destroys the Death Star.

18. Tying up the AT-ATs: Something that top-heavy can't possibly withstand being tripped up.

17. Yoda's Stab Through A Clone: Obi and Yoda storm into the Temple. Only a few clones stand in their way. Yoda throws his saber through ones chest, leaps onto him, and pulls it out.

16. Palpatine's Rise And The Galactic Empire: "The Republic, will be reorganized into the First Galactic Empire!!!" "So this is how democracy dies.....with thunderous applause."

15. Old Ben vs. Vader: The first time the fans get to really see lightsabers in action. It is a rather slow fight but one where the rivals are long time enemies meeting for the first time in 20 years.

14. Alderaan Explodes: "I felt a great disturbance in the Force...as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."

13. Death Star II Duel: The final fight of good vs half good-half evil vs. evil. The Emperor urges Luke to turn to the dark side and kill Vader. However, Luke resists and thus convinces Vader of the goodness still inside of him. After a final emotional conflict Vader heaves the Emperor down a shaft.

12. Maul Cut In Half: There is only one death that is cooler than this in the entire saga, and that death will be in the Top 10. He remains in one piece until he falls in two pieces down the Naboo endless pit.

11. "It's a trap!": Ah, perhaps the most famous quote. Ackbar shouts, "It's a trap!" after he sees an entire Imperial fleet surrounding the Death Star II.

Please tune in tomorrow for the final installment of this series. I hope to see you there early in the morning.

May the Force be with us all! God bless!
