    While no scene really "brings tears to my eyes," I find the carbonite scene quite emotional. Harrison Ford nailed it of course, but I think Carrie Fisher often gets overlooked for her part in it. I mean think about it, she says exactly *three words* in that entire scene, and yet, you know what she's thinking the entire time. It's pretty awesome. :)

    Also, Ewan McGregor at the end of his duel with Anakin. Yeah, look at me, given a prequel scene some props, but I admit it, it makes me feel things.

    I do find the order 66 sequence and Jedi Temple attack a tear-jerker, but I have to give an honorable mention to the Season 6 finale of the Clone Wars, when Yoda says he does not know how to win the war. I don't know that I like my Star Wars to get as mystical as that final arc did, but even though it wasn't 100% to my taste, it was sad to see Yoda go through this huge quest, and one last bit of pre-fall Anakin being heroic, knowing they will only come "this close" in the end.

    The only scene that ever even brought me close to tears was the order 66 scene. (It was more sadness than emotional outburst but I don't know of anyone who has cried watching Star Wars) I've never seen the saga as sad or sad enough to cry...Maybe I'm not that emotional lol.

    All right. You guys make me want to add a scene to your fine collection, more like a moment really, but one that really gets me.

    It's the first seconds after Padme's landing on Mustafar. There is a tiny little scene as she takes a deep breath before she comes out of the ship. You can really tell exactly what she's going threw. She's definitely terrified, not about what is going to happen to her, no, but because she's about to know if Anakin is really the monster Obi-wan told her he was. Then she has a glimpse of Anakin's silhouette on the balcony with is hood on, and it's only when he reveals is face, that she recognizes him as her husband and she rushes outside to meet him. Somehow, she chooses to believe he's still the same...

    In itself, it's lovely that Lucas took the time to give this dramatic pause to the movie before the final act really kicks in. But there are two reasons why I love this part.

    [​IMG]

    1) Because, this close up of Natalie Portman is perhaps the most beautiful we get of her in the entire trilogy, and that's clearly intentional. She's an innocent victim heading for her sacrifice, a truly tragic figure, and her imminent demise will affect Anakin and - threw him - the entire galaxy for more than 20 years.
    2) Because that is actually the last time we hear Accross the stars in the saga. The great romantic theme of the PT reaches its natural ending. The purity of Anakin et Padme's love is about to be destroyed forever.

    I don't thing I've ever cried watching this scene to be perfectly honest. But that's one in ROTS that never fails to give me a lump in my throat. Powerful story-telling indeed.

    I don't really cry during movies, but I have a girlfriend who cries, always...

    -When Obi-Wan talks to Padme "I'm so sorry"
    -When Anakin chokes Padme
    -When Padme has the babies
    -During Padme's funeral.

    Lots of tears.

    For me it has to be when Luke is looking at the twins suns in A New Hope, that music really is awesome.

    My wife cries every time Padme tells Anakin that he's braking her heart in ROTS. I've never cried during a film myself, but I do feel Obi-Wan's pain when he tells Anakin that he was his brother and that he loved him. I'm also quite happy for Luke at the end of ROTJ.

    A number of scenes have brought tears to my eyes before, and I'm not one to tear up a lot.

    1. Obi-Wan telling Anakin that he was his brother and that he loved him before leaving him for dead.
    2. "I love you" "I know" scene.
    3. Luke pulling off Vader's mask and Vader says "You were right about me"

    The introduction of Jar-Jar Binks! No, wait...
    Anakin riding that tick-shaped cow! No, wait...
    The stormtrooper hitting his head on the hatch in Ep IV! No, wait...
    The band performing for Jabba in the Special Edition and seeing that guys tonsils! No, wait...

    I'll have to agree with MOC Yak Face on page 1. Nailed it! But I'll add one more: When Luke sees his Aunt and Uncle murdered. That was the first scene of death I'd seen at the tender age of 10.

    Gotta say, tho, I have a hard time reading any of your posts that start out, "I don't cry (at all, during movies, etc)." Come on, folks... let the emotions go! Trying to contain his emotions and showing only the most powerful one (hate) is what turned Anakin!

    Han's goodbyes before he's frozen in carbonite are pretty emotional. The whole Vader vs. Son in ESB isn't exactly a tear jerker for me, but it's very emotional and enthralling. Yoda's death is devastating, I didn't actually cry, but I was...well, devastated. Vader's redemption and final words in ROTJ are very, very sad, seeing Anakin's potential as a force user, it gets me everytime.

    In no particular order:

    Obi-Wan parting with Anakin in ROTS because I knew what was coming the first time I saw the scene and that feeling has never disappeared on subsequent viewings.

    Vader's funeral pyre. When I first saw it I noticed it was the same theme as the binary sunset scene. It seems like such a sad ending to Luke's journey.

    Anakin leaving Shmi. Here it's the music that gets to me because it perfectly captures that Anakin won't be able to not look back.

    Order 66.

    Ki Adi Mundi's death. He's charging on when the Order comes in and all the sudden he looks back bewildered and heartbroken before dying in a hail of blasterfire.

    I used to not really get emotional in movies. At all. But then I became a film student and the realization that I would be in filmmaking for the rest of my life changed the way I viewed them and has made moments hit me a lot harder I think. I've seen all the films so many times, I figured I was emotionally immune. But recently I re-watched to OT and a few scenes got to me that never really hit me emotionally before. Han returing and Luke blowing up the death star in ANH really hit me for some reason. Just amazing filmmaking! Also the scene where Luke looks out over the twin suns, but not as much. Plus every time I hear Han and Leia's theme is just amazing.

    A lot of the Order 66 was emotional. I think a lot of us felt like Yoda - punched in the gut by all the deaths we were experiencing.
