25 Perfect Shots From Star Wars Movies

25. Darth Vader's Grand Entrance

Everything about this scene is perfect; the music, the juxtaposition between the white walls of the laudable Rebel ship and the dark, sinister tone of Darth Vader’s costume and the tall stature of David Prowse allowing the character to tower of everybody else.

It didn’t matter that this was the first sight of him in the franchise, it was clear that this was a guy you did not want to mess with. The scene set the Sith Lord up as a massive villain, and it made sure that audiences saw him as the epitome of evil... until the Emperor made his grand entrance.
