15 Most Awesome Explosions In Movie History
6. Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Much like Die Hard, the Star Wars franchise has more than its fair share of awards-worthy explosions - if awards were given out for them, of course - and the two Death Star explosions alone are probably worthy of this list.
But Rian Johnson served up something truly special with Vice Admiral Holdo's (Laura Dern) sacrificial lightspeed suicide in The Last Jedi.
Holdo rams into Supreme Leader Snoke's (Andy Serkis) fleet at lightspeed, resulting in a gorgeous, silent visualisation of the impact before the residual explosion.
Say what you want about The Last Jedi and Rian Johnson, but this is one of the series' most spectacularly directed moments and an all-timer as far as movie 'splosions go.
