This week on Episode 688 of the InSession Film Podcast, we discussed our Top 5 Star Wars Scenes! This is a list we did back in 2015 with the release of The Force Awakens, but since it’s been over a decade and we’ve had so many new films/shows since then, we thought it was appropriate to revisit this list and talk about all the great scenes that Star Wars has to offer. The franchise may be divided, but most of us can agree that the franchise has some iconic moments. There are so many great scenes to choose from and we had the best time talking about the scenes that really hit home with us. That said, here are our lists:
(Note: Please keep in mind that we each had different criteria for our selections)

1) “I’m A Jedi Like My Father Before Me” – Return of the Jedi
2) “I’m No Jedi” – Star Wars Rebels
3) Mon Mothma’s Speech – Andor
4) Han Solo’s Death – The Force Awakens
5) Yoda Explains the Force – The Empire Strikes Back

1) Ahsoka Buries Her Fallen Clones – Clone Wars

Hopefully you guys enjoyed our lists, and if you agree or disagree with us, let us know in the comment section below. There are obviously many more scenes from the franchise that we didn’t have time to mention. That is to say, your list could look very different than ours given the great films and memorable sequences we saw over the last year. That being said, what would be your Top 5?
