Reel Top 10: Star Wars Moments

With Star Wars celebrating its 40th anniversary, fans of the beloved franchise have debated as to what moments tops them all. With 8 films already complete, there are moments within the franchise that have not only stood the test of time but have become some of the most iconic moments ever filmed. This week’s Reel Top 10 focuses on that very franchise I love so much.

This week’s list will not only consist of the usual 10 but 3 honorable mentions. While some moments are obvious and make almost any list of Star Wars moments, there are subtle moments within the franchise that are near and dear, that others might not remember or consider a top Star Wars moment. What is your favorite Star Wars moment? How did my 10 differ from yours?
