We just finished the Classic Trilogy Top 100 list last month, and it was a great time, so now let's have a little PT fun and try it with scenes from Episodes I, II and III! What better way to celebrate our 10th Anniversary?

Here's what to do:

Compile a list of your favorite scenes from the three Prequel Trilogy films. Your list should contain ten scenes. Rank them 1 through 10, with #1 being your favorite. (If you do not rank your list, all your choices will be awarded equal points.)

Write why you picked each scene, if you choose, to have your comments included in the countdown thread.

Send your list via PM to General Kenobi

Posting your list in this thread is fine for discussion, but to ensure it gets counted, please PM it to me.

Please, one vote per person; no socks.

A quick note about the spirit of this Countdown: We totally respect your prerogative to dislike parts or all of the PT films. If you truly have favorite scenes you like despite having an overall negative opinion, your list is certainly welcome. But please do not send in "Jar Jar stepping in poo" as part of a joke list. [waves hand] There was no Streetfighter scene in the PT. happy

The deadline for submission of lists has passed. Go check out the countdown thread!

It took me awhile to make the list. It's funny, cause TPM is for sure my least watched SW film and yet I found most of my list had TPM scenes. Just because what does happen in that movie lays the stones for the entire Saga.

Example: My number 1 scene, "Anakin Skywalker meet Obi Wan Kenobi"

Oh, and thanks for doing this again GK! I had such a blast with the OT countdown, I'm pumped for the PT.

1. Master Yoda: Wooooooo master yoda fighting.. Most anticipated bit of the PT for me. I was well pleased.

2. Collecting The Prize: It is such a good feeling, knowing the pod race is over.

3. Assassins: What a great bit of pacing....suspense builds and explodes into chase!

4. Tusken Camp: Hands down best turn-to-the-dark-side moment of PT.

5. Duel of the Fates: "We'll Handle This" is awesome. A glorious battle will ensue. I could sense it.

6. Battle Over Coruscant: Beautiful GLORIOUS battle with Jedi overcoming great odds.

7. Arrival on Corruscant: Palpatine at his best in telling the princess their options. Manipulative villain that he is!

8. Duel With Dooku: Love to see that being rash can have it downsides.

9. Asteroid Chase: Some dogfighting I could really sink my teeth into.. Loved the explosion effects!

10. Short Negotiations: Qui Gon and Obi Wan Make Their Way to The Bridge But Must Escape The Destroyer Standoff - A great introduction to the way Jedi's USED to take care of business.

1. Anakin's Fatal Decision (ROTS) ... haunting and beautiful, with almost no dialog. You see the exact moment he makes his decision and how much it tortures him.
2. Immolation (ROTS) ... the most striking image in the PT I think.
3. Duel Of The Fates (TPM) ... classic.
4. Order Sixty-Six (ROTS) ... first time I cried in a SW film. It's half to do with the music, gorgeous and sad.
5. Tragedy Of Darth Plagueis (ROTS) ... brilliant manipulation, great delivery by Ian.
6. Battle Of The Heroes (ROTS) ... THE duel.
7. "Begun, The Clone War Has" (AOTC) ... the beginning of the end.
8. Tusken Camp (AOTC) ... the exchange between Anakin and his dying mother, the real beginning of the end.
9. "You're Not All-Powerful" (AOTC) ... the look on Anakin's face, and the remorse. And this is where you really know Padme loves him.
10. A New Hope (ROTS)/ Secret Union (AOTC) -- they're so short, I couldn't choose one!
