Star Wars: Ranking Every Space Battle Worst To Best

5. Asteroid Field Escape - Episode V

There aren't many nice and finer moments in the entire franchise than the stunning scene which sees Han and the Millennium Falcon attempt to flee a couple of Star Destroyers.

C-3PO is at his most annoying best throughout while Han goes full-blown hero as he leads his crew into an asteroid field.

As usual, the hyperdrive on the Falcoon is broken, leaving, Han, Chewie, and Leia in all kinds of trouble.

However, ever the confident quick-thinker, Han heads directly into an asteroid field in a desperate attempt to avoid the Empire's clutches.

We see plenty of chemistry between Han and Leia in this particular part of the movie and it's one of the first signs really that Leia has quite the soft spot for Solo.

Of course, he pulls it off with aplomb and lands within one of the asteroids to save the day once again.

It's a truly masterful piece of film and one made all the better by John Williams' expert score throughout just under four minutes of brilliance.
