Best Star Wars Intro?
Hello friends, I'm just working on a future video and I'm wondering if there are any Star Wars fans in here who can share their opinion? I'm going to make a video about the opening shots of all mainline Star Wars films – the first thing you see after the title crawl. In your opinion, which Star Wars movie has the best opening shot? And how about the worst? Thanks :)

My favorite is Revenge of the Sith. Obi and Ani fly side by side and crack some jokes for the last time. You really see the brotherhood between them. My second favorite is the original episode 4. The size difference between the rebel and the empire ships really reflect the difference in the amount of resources they have, yet at the end of the film, the rebels emerge victorious.
Lol this is exactly what I'm thinking for my list (in an upcoming video). It was a coin toss between those two for my number one spot!
I asked AI (Gemini) for it's top 3 Star Wars opening scenes. Alright, if I absolutely HAD to pick just three *Star Wars* opening scenes, I'd probably go with: 1. "Revenge of the Sith" - that chaotic space battle is just too visually stunning. 2. "A New Hope" - a classic for a reason, instantly setting the stage for the entire saga. 3. "The Force Awakens" - Kylo Ren stopping the blaster bolt mid-air? Chilling! What are your top three? I'm curious to know if we agree! --- I'd say this is at least creative and less sycophantic than expected. However, Kylo Ren stopping the blaster bolt is a bit of a stretch. It happens a few minutes into the movie. But I didn't specify when the opening scene should end, so...
I just watched all of the intros. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1De5qtRfKbk #1: A New Hope (Hands down) #2: The Force Awakens (The only other opening that is epic.) #3 - 12: All derivatives and lacking anything epic or fresh.
Interesting! I have a feeling A New Hope is going to be what most people expect to see at the top of the list.
This is a battle for second place. :-)
Nothing really can ever top the originals opening. So I believe it's just matter of seeing where the others fall into place. That said. Episode 7 did have a pretty interesting shot I recall.
Yeah I've been pondering what to say about Episode 7, because on the one hand it's an awesome intro, and yet in the full context of the story, you could say it didn't deliver on the promise of the opening of that story. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The one that stands out for me is when the Imperial Star Destroyer busts in from top of frame.
That happens twice! A New Hope and Return Of The Jedi are basically a match frame.
