10 More Most Paused Star Wars Moments
7. Jango Fett's Flying Head - Star Wars: Episode II - Attack Of The Clones
For all of its violence, Star Wars is technically a "family-friendly" franchise, and so the movies often have to sneak in their gnarliest moments in fleeting fashion.
Case in point, in Attack of the Clones we witness Jango Fett (Temuera Morrison) get decapitated by Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) with a swift swish of his lightsaber during the Battle of Geonosis.
We very clearly see Jango's head parted from his body, though George Lucas still manages to keep the MPAA happy by showing not a drop of blood, courtesy of those wound-cauterising lightsabers.
We do however briefly see Jango's helmet flying through the air, and if you pause this shot, you'll see a somehow even grimmer implication.
During this shot, there are actually two shadows on the ground - one of his helmet, the other of his decapitated head, which has seemingly slid out of the helmet and soared through the air on its own power.
On one hand it's good to know that young Boba (Daniel Logan) doesn't end up cradling his own father's head when he picks up the helmet, but on the other, the idea of Jango's head flying off into the battlefield isn't a whole lot better.
