My favorites come in AOTC and ROTS.
Loved Yoda whipping his saber out for the first time in AOTC, as well as the opera scene in ROTS and Vader taking his first breath.
The opera scene...I can't say enough about it. Alot of you may think there's nothing really special about it, but I thought the music and atmosphere was perfect. A very dark and haunting scene, with top notch acting by Ian McDiarmid.

Yea, the opera scene was one of my favorites of ROTS. As was the first breath, soon to be ruined the epic failure of, "Nooooo!!!!" That was a real let down.
One of my all time favs though, is in ESB when Yoda is explaining the force to Luke. No midicholians, no science to it. Just the force as the Jedi Grandmaster sees it.
Also, in ANH when OB1 was telling Luke of Anakin and the "dark times." Something about the look on Alec's face just lends heavy emotion to the scene, especially now since we know what happened.

Yeah Obi-Wan crossed the line when he said he loved Anakin. When he grabbed Anakin's lightsaber that sealed the deal.
My favorite part in Star Wars is when the Clone Trooper pilot can't shoot down Count Dooku becuase he was out of rockets. Apparently the laser cannons are no good against unprotected old guys on a small speeder bike...
By far my fav. scene in ROTS is Palpatine's declaration of the New Order--the walkthrough of the burning temple--Vader's slaughter of the Seperatist leaders--and his gazing over Mustafar (the music does wonders there).
And I don't care what anyone says, the entire space battle above Endor, especially the very beginning, is just plain cool, IMO.

Some of the themes in the cave scene are still in some movies today. Lol.
And the prequels (especially RotS) make it that much stronger and deeper. Obi-Wan's words echo; 'You have become the very thing you swore to destroy'. It's an amazing sequence, no doubt. I wouldn't say it's the best scene in the entire saga, but it's certainly up there, and easily the best scene in ESB. Even better than the 'I am your father!' scene.
Oh my god...did you actually just agree to good choice to...Grievous?! I knew you would finally come around. I think that means it MAY be time for...shall I say it? A Grievous thread...part 4!!!

That was a real let down.
