The best Star Wars ending scene...(spoilers)
|
Can't Post

Out of all the Star Wars movies which one had the best ending scene? Was it the Gungan parade? Yub Nub? The throne room? The tearful return of Luke Skywalker? Etc.
Mine is the TFA ending scene. Gives me chills every time and J.J. did a beautiful job. Can't wait for Episode VIII!

I've loved Star Wars since 1977, and that last scene in TFA was amazing. Maybe some of it was nostalgia for me. But I loved it.

It's a tie between ESB and TFA for me...

...both were brilliant cliffhanger's (with John Williams on fine form) that left me fulfilled, but also desperate to see the story continued, Hamill's acting in that single scene was great and Luke looks bad*ss as a haunted, aged exile...let's hope Episode 8 follows up on it in an interesting direction...
The worst ending is undoubtedly The Holiday Special

The ending for episode IV is my favorite, it has great music, great acting and it is a good way to end the film.

The Throne room scene is great...but take away the music and something seems a little...off...

That may just be my sense of humour, but it's amazing how well Williams score complements/enhances the film...

That was awkward. Yes you where right, without Williams score that scene feels weird.

Although the cliffhanger DROVE ME NUTS. I remember seeing it in the theater freaking out it was Luke and then the credits and I was like Darth Vader in ROS. "NOO!!!"

His music is absolutely the best thing about the series, and especially the prequels, IMO!  I hope that wonderful man lives a long life...and not entirely because I want him to be able to score the last two of the sequel trilogy.

I'm going to hedge and say NOT the Gungun parade...the children of the planet celebrating to a spritely version of Palpatine's theme? Nooooooooooo!

"TFA" easily wins. Amazing final scene, though I was half-expecting the lightsabre to suddenly float towards Luke before the credits, and I feel if that had happened (with proper timing and speed of the sabre), it would have been in the running for one of the coolest final shots ever.

I can't decide between ANH, ESB, and TPM... Maybe in this order:
ESB, ANH, TPM..

The endings in the OT were all emotional payoffs/comedowns to drama that had built across the film. in TFA on the other hand we end with a cliffhanger that lets be honest the film itself didn't do much to build up, its more just seeing Luke again for the OT where the drama comes.
Honestly if I was Rian Johnson directing the follow up I would be pretty pissed at Abrams for stealing that scene from my film where it naturally belonged and could have been used much more effectively rather than as a cheap cliffhanger.

One of things that makes Star Wars a truly landmark film is Lucas' innovative and integral use of sound, not just in sound design and editing, but in music. Ben Burtt and John Williams both were brilliant in bringing Lucas' concepts to life.

I guess that depends on what we think is a cheap cliffhanger

For a movie that pulls a ton of cheap crap, I'm not so sure the end qualifies and is really an emotional payoff of sorts. From the opening title scrawl to the persistent mystery of "Where is Luke?" to the entire plot being tied to a map that would direct the Republic to his whereabouts, coming across him at the very end of the movie plays out like both a payoff to a central concern of the film as well as a cliffhanger for the next one.
I also think it's an exciting jumping-off point for Episode VIII and I'm much more excited to see where it goes from here than I ever was for this movie itself.

The problem is that really TFA isn't actually about the search for Luke very much at all. The map is introduced as a McGruffin early on but the importance of Luke and what finding him might mean is largely ignored for the vast majority of the film.
Come the end I don't think the reveal of Luke having drama is down to what TFA has built up at all, its simply down to seeing Luke again for the first time since the OT.
