10 More Most Paused Star Wars Moments

We've previously discussed the must-pause shot from Return of the Jedi where Anakin's strangely deformed skull is visible when he's electrocuted by the Emperor (Ian McDiarmid), but Revenge of the Sith offers up something of a sequel - or, rather, prequel - to it.

Mace Windu's battle with Palpatine comes to a brutal close when Anakin slices off Windu's hand, giving Palpatine time to unleash unlimited power, hitting Windu with a sustained blast of Force lightning, as eventually sends him flying out the nearest window to his death.

Much like Vader's electrocution in Return of the Jedi, though, a freeze-frame of this scene lets us take a look at Mace Windu's traumatised skeleton.

In addition to being strangely elongated much like Vader's skull, it's also clear in many frames that George Lucas' VFX team simply superimposed a rather crude, basic 3D skull model over the top of Jackson's face. 

Even accepting that Attack of the Clones is over 20 years old, it's a pretty goofy-looking effect - albeit one that's tough to fully notice in regular motion.
