Fire up “Yub Nub” as we ponder the best scenes from the Skywalker saga and the spin-offs.
It started with a theory.
And the theory came from Marc Bernardin.

And he discussed that realization on the latest episode ofEW’sDagobah Dispatchpodcast.
“In fact, more of it is bad than it is good.”
“But even the worst ofStar Warshas moments that are indelible,” Bernardin says.

And that is exactly what we then set out to determine.
We had never seen a Jedi in their prime.
We had never seen what that could look like.
And that moment when you finally get to see when Obi-Wan Kenobi gets angry.
It’s phenomenal."
He continues: “It’s the only reason to ever look at any of that movie ever again.
And that great John Williams score and all of it.
That’s the moment for me where that movie earns its place in the canon.
That’s how you know it’s the end.

It was just this breathtaking move…
It is the ballsiest move inStar WarsI’ve seen in a long time."
Yet he does have one complaint about it, which is why it isnothis top moment from the film.
- A best moment fromSolo?
Yes, Bernardin has one!
I did not need to see the Kessel Run.
I did not need to know how he got his last name.
The thing that Ididneed to know, however, is: How many capes does Lando Calrissian have?
All of the capes.
You take me into that dude’s walk-in room on the Falcon just filled with capes?
