25 Best Shots In All Of Star Wars

16. Imperial Shuttle Landing On Endor

Film: Return Of The Jedi When: As Vader lands on Endor to go meet Luke A single still doesn't quite do this one justice. We start off looking at the Death Star II in the sky of Endor, before tracking down and watching an Imperial Shuttle gracefully land on a platform, with an AT-AT walking up alongside it and the shield generator in the background. There's so many elements of this shot (at least two matte paintings and two moving object), which make it a work of orchestrational beauty. It also highlights the level of dominance the Empire has over the forest moon, a nice reminder after all that ewok fun.
