10 More Most Paused Star Wars Moments

10. The Holdo Maneuver - Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi

Whether you love or hate The Last Jedi, it does lay claim to one of the single coolest images in Star Wars history, when Vice-Admiral Holdo (Laura Dern) pulls off the near-mythic "Holdo maneuver."

In a desperate attempt to fend off the First Order fleet and buy the Resistance precious time to escape to Crait, Holdo sacrifices herself by suicidally ramming her ship, the Raddus, into Snoke's (Andy Serkis) flagship, The Supremacy, at near-lightspeed.

The result is pure destruction - the Raddus slices through the Supremacy and obliterates the surrounding fleet, all of this depicted in eye wateringly beautiful slow-motion and near-complete silence.

Every shot in this sequence, as an explosive white streak tears through the First Order armada, is 100% wallpaper-worthy, but they each pass quickly enough that you'll definitely want to smash the pause button a few times and soak in each individual frame.

This might well be the single most-paused moment in the entire sequel trilogy, honestly.
