25 Best Shots In All Of Star Wars

4. The X-Wing Floats Over The Swamp

Film: The Empire Strikes Back When: As Yoda lifts Luke's X-Wing out of the swamp The whole point of Yoda rescuing his padawan's craft is to show that size doesn't matter, and this shot only accentuates that message, with the ship dominating the top half while the Jedi Master sits unmoving (and almost unnoticeable) in the left-hand corner. The gliding ship also serves as a nice summation of the differences between Yoda and Luke - it's moving is calming and purposeful, unlike the jerks we're used to in space battles.
