    What are they...? Again, considering the ACTION over anything else.

    Mine...

    1. Darth Maul/Qui Gon/Obi Wan light saber duel in TPM: This is definitely THE classic saber duel...elegant, quick, stylish and FEROCIOUS.

    2. Arena Battle in AOTC: This has everything....creatures, jedi knights kicking butt. I love this scene.

    3. Luke vs. Vader in ESB: I know it's a bit slower than the prequel fare, but I really love the stylings of this fight...from start to finish.

    4. Obi-Wan vs Jango Fett in AOTC: Awesome scene in an incredible environment....I never get tired of this scene.

    5. Pod Race in TPM: In the theaters, this scene really rumbles....I grew up in the desert, so it has a special meaning. Great to see a really special action sequence staged on Tatooine.

    Others almost making the cut:

    - Hoth battle scene in ESB
    - Clone War in ATOC
    - The Death Star battle in ANH

    Throwing down the Gauntlet ehh?

    Top Five. I'll pick one from each. It works for me. You just pick the top one from each.

    Darth Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan, Showdown. (Theed doors opening, best villian entrance. Qui-Gon backhands Maul. Obi-Wan takes a shot at Maul's rear. Priceless.)

    Coruscant Speeder Chase and Outlander Club showdown. (Lots of great action in Clones, but this is just great. Fufills the need for speed to an extreme. Zam is something else. Her look when she thinks she's lost them says it all.)

    Shoot-out in the Detention Block (Yes I love the Battle of Yavin but this is just too great to miss. Pure chaos. Where are you taking this thing? We're all fine here now. How about you?)

    Battle of Hoth, the mother of all Star Wars Battles (Imperial Troops have entered the base! Imperial Troops have entered ######)

    Battle of Endor, I get a kick out of it. All of it. (From the ewok who can't use a sling to save his life, to Lando's triumph after piloting the Falcon out of the flames, to every bit of dialogue and intrigue that goes on in the Emperor's Throne Room.)

    Those are some great choices as well. I don't there's a scene in Star Wars I don't like.

    No particular order:

    Luke/Vader(ESB): I love the lighting in that scene, how all you really see are the silhouettes and their lightsabres. What great mood!

    Yoda/Dooku: How many times do you get to see a 6-foot tall 80 year old british guy and a 900 year old 2-foot tall frog beat the living crap outta each other?

    Battle of Geonosis: Starting in the Arena with all the jedi and then moving out of the arena into a huge clone/droid battle. What a great shot.

    ANH Trench Run: This one gets me everytime. . .

    Vader/Emperor/Luke: I always get a shiver down my spine when I hear Palpatine say "So be it.....Jedi'

    1. Luke vs. Vader in ESB.

    2. The entire arena scene in AOTC, from the beggining of the execution 'til Yoda swoops in and picks up the remaining Jedi.

    3.The Death Star attack at the end of ANH. It's a great way to end the movie, very exciting.

    4.Luke vs. Vader in ROTJ with the space battle and the second Death Star attack going on.

    5.Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vs. Darth Maul in TPM. Great lightsaber fight and action scene.
