#2 – Top 50 Skywalker Saga Moments
Luke Defeats Vader Return of the Jedi Well, we’ve made it to the business end of the list. Possibly the hardest decision of the lot was choosing which of the top two moments would sit at the number one spot – ask me next week and the two may have switched places once again. But,…

Palpatine’s Tale Revenge of the Sith “Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?” And so begins the most powerful conversation in the Skywalker Saga.
