Greetings Star Wars fanatics, and welcome back to JJ’s Fan Feature! Last time out we settled the debate over which Corellian freighter was better, the Millennium Falcon or the Outrider. This week’s topic comes straight from the comments section of Hashtag writer Matt Jabs’ piece entitled In Defense of Return of the Jedi. In discussing ROTJ, reader and fan Eli Velasquez had this to say: “the moment Vader finally decides to save Luke is one of the greatest scenes in movie history.” Now that got me thinking… What are some of the most gut-wrenching, eye-opening, get-you-right-in-the-feels, take your breath away scenes in Star Wars? Today we’ll take a look at some of those standout Star Wars scenes in detail.
Vader sets aside the anger, the hate, the fury, and in that moment is nothing more than a father protecting his son. Vader knows that, in the process of tossing the Emperor to his fate, Vader has sealed his own. Nothing could stop Vader from dying, but in those brief moments of redemption and reconciliation, he connected with his son. Right. In. The. Feels.
