Anyone going to start an Episode V thread?

ANH remains my all-time favorite, largely because it has the most Sir Alec in it. The moment where he hears Luke say "Obi-Wan Kenobi" for the first time is one of my top 5 scenes in any of the movies.

I was 3-1/2 in 1977 and my brother was 6 going on 7. My dad worked on an oil tanker back then and would try to time his 3-months on / 2 months off shifts to be home around Christmas time and around the beginning of the summer.

He heard about Star Wars on the radio and took us to see it one fine afternoon. We were crazy for it and went back the next day to see it again.

My dad had to go back to work on the ship on July 1. Star Wars was in the theater forever once it hit so big, but we weren't going to have the time to see it with him at our leisure, so my dad did what any great father would do - took us to see it twice in May and five more times in June before he left.

What makes ANH so awesome

• Opening space battle. I always imagined TPM in a similar way for the call back.
• The Krayt Dragon skeleton in the desert
• Everything about the binary sunset
• "Obi-wan Kenobi?? Obi-Wan ..."
• I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father
• The cantina - cannot be surpassed no matter how much CGI you use
• Han & Chewie's entrance
• Intro of the Falcon
• Chewie vs. R2D2 in monster hologram chess
• That's no moon.
• She's rich.
• You prefer another target? A military target?
• I find your lack of faith disturbing.
• Um everything's fine here. Situation normal.
• The trash compactor. If you had the Kenner Death Star play set, you remember the foam "trash" and the hard plastic dianoga that had zero moving parts
• If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
• How somehow they've never fixed the fact that Vader's lightsaber is white when Luke blasts the controls for the door to the hangar.
• Luke & Han blowing up 4 TIEs in the Falcon is a better space fight than anything in the prequels.
• Biggs guaranteeing his own death with "they'll never stop us!" Yeah Biggs, whatever you say.
• Red Leader and Gold Leader being grizzled vets.
• General Dodonna, professional bad ass: "Then man your ships, and may the Force be with you."
• Luke turning off the navicomputer.
• What?
• The Throne room music. If I were president, that would replace hail to the chief.

This movie has the greatest engine sound of any movie show I can think of:

After Han and Luke shoot the 4 tie-fighters and start talking about if Han has a chance with Leah and Luke says no, they show the MF heading towards the rebel base. The close up shot where the MF is heading directly away from the camera is the most BA sound possible, IMO. I think the US military should spend whatever money it takes to make our jets sound just like that.

I found the video:

The final Throne Room music was the recessional at my wedding.
