25 Best Shots In All Of Star Wars

6. The Jakku Panning Shot

Film: The Force Awakens When: Presumably early on in the film Wow. The clear plaines and rolling dunes of Jakku, with Rey's speeder flying along in the distance as we pan along. You spot an X-Wing sticking out of the ground and then your eyes are drawn up ... oh my... a Star Destroyer. It may work in the second teaser partially because of nostalgia, but there's no denying that this is a great shot by itself, leading the viewer on an increasingly jaw-dropping journey. Who knows - maybe it goes even longer in the finished movie.
