Film: Star Wars When: As Luke realises he's never going to leave his Uncle's moisture farm No single image better surmises Star Wars than this. The raw, realistic human emotion - in this case a youthful longing for a new life - set against a clearly alien, but still grounded world;it's the embodiment of "space fantasy". The contrast of the mundane and the fantastical was something that the original trilogy, particularly the first film, delighted in, and it's not seen more beautifully or succinctly than here. Perfection.
