    I like that they do a top 10 movies and top 10 from the comics.

    Oh man. Those star wars comics. I could do a whole blog just about the strangeness introduced. I'm thinking Jaxxon the green rabbit for one...

    I think my favorite bit was the opening of A New Hope where the Blockade Runner gets chased down by the Imperial Destroyer. The specific moment: right after the stormtroopers have entered the rebel ship and are gunning down the small group of rebels, through the smoke and haze emerges Darth Vader.

    I was 5 years old when my dad took me to the movie (in retrospect, I don't think I'd take my 5 year old daughter to see Star Wars in the theaters, but I'm glad he did). I remember cowering and trembling in my seat at the time and the sight of this gigantic, deep voiced, freakish monster who came upon the screen.

    It was awesome.

    Yeah making this list was a bit harder than it seems at first look. The opening sequence of Star Wars was pretty amazing in so many ways, the huge star destroyer chasing the small ship and Darth appearing for the first time - his mask looked like a huge black skull.

    Speaking of being scared as a kid, a lot of scenes freaked me out - I thought the Jawas were scary, and also the trash compactor, and lastly that scene where the interrogation sphere comes into Leia's cell with that hypodermic needle.

    It all made the destruction of the death star more awesome because that meant the latter two were destroyed :)

    I am also old enough to have a profound love for the original three; I was in 9th grade when the first one came out. The most terrifying thing about the series? The sight of a poster, larger than life, on the window of Taco Bell... keep in mind that I knew nothing of the new trilogy at the time... a 150% blow up of jar jar... the ugliest creature I had yet to see at that moment. Blech! But, I have many times wished it was all real. The character development was wonderful! Freezing Han pissed me off big time! LOL! I think it will all go down as a classic collection!
