Citing the Imperial March as one aspect of why the opening sequence of A New Hope is so great is unfortunate because that music didn’t exist until it was written for the following film, The Empire Strikes Back. For Star Wars (Ep. IV: A New Hope), John Williams wrote an entirely different bit of music to accompany Darth Vader and The Empire.

Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith both have excellent opening scenes, but in no way are they better than the opening scene of A New Hope. The opening shot of the Star Destroyer is the single best piece of cinematography in the entire series, telling us everything we needed to know about Botha idea of the conflict. It is widely regarded as a moment that changed cinema forever. And that’s before we get a villain entrance rivaled only by Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs.

forgive me, for I have sinned

[@ReasonX3]

It is very hard to take seriously this list, when author failed to find the actual opening scene of Episode 6. It's not that hard. The very first scene on Return of the Jedi is one of the best. It is only about Vader arriving on Death Star 2 to inform the commander that he has to hurry up with the construction. The commander's reaction to Vader's worlds that the Emperor will soon arrive himself is excellent. You can clearly see immediate fear on his face. Vader finishes their conversation with these words: "The Emperor is not as forgiven as I am". Only couple minutes of the dialog and we already understand what sort of a person is Palpatine and what reputation he has among his officers, if Vader in person scares them less then the one notion of the Emperor's arrival.

[@iota328]

Yeah the first one- when I watched in when it came out and it was pretty awesome in theaters- I can see how that may or may not translate well to a TV. Not too sure did Lucas have more film prior to the AOTC intro that he had to cut?

[@kishiteramen7218]

In the Rise of Skywalker opening scene, the lightsaber is accurate In fact, a lightsaber is like a sword, with sharp sides and flat side, so the way Kylo is using his lightsaber is right, In star wars V, Luke when fighting Vador doesn't cut everything, the lightsaber bounce from the wall because he is using the flat side. The difference between the two films is that in star wars V, Luke is not a master of the lightsaber handling and that's why he's using the flat side, but in star wars IX, Kylo uses his lightsaber perfectly, he's using it to project onto the ground his enemy to kill him after. But great video otherwise

[@molalla2546]

Yeah no

[@michalkubecek]

I would rather say the reason here is that Kylo Ren does not really cut the guy (or guys) with the main blade but he pierces him with one of the shorter blades (note that the other is pointing away from his body) and pushes him down with his hand holding the handle. I guess when they gave Kylo Ren such fancy lightsaber, they also wanted to put the shorter blades to some use from time to time.

Actually, the beginning scene is not the introduction of Palpatine in Return of the Jedi, but rather Darth Vader on a shuttle debarking from the Executioner, with a tie fighter escort, landing in the Second Death Star's hangar bay with Moff Jerjerrod and sizable parade of soldiers waiting for his arrival. This then lays the groundwork that the Second Death Star is still incomplete and shows Vader threating Jerjerrod about the lack of progress, which has compelled the emperor to be arriving.

I think I saw original trilogy even before as a kid, but I don't remember that well, so for me, Episode III is what turned me into StarWars fan.
