EMPIRE STRIKES BACK:

VADER: If you only knew the power of the dark side. Obi-Wan never told
you what happened to your father.

LUKE: He told me enough! He told me you killed him.

VADER: No. I am your father.

Ah but this has James Earl Jones great booming voice.
Talk about your cliffhangers! That was 26 yrs and I still remember the shocked reaction in the theater.

sry callista but got to agree with lucreleia on this one -- have always loved these with a passion -- own every single SW ever -- am a huge, huge fan and though agreed Khan was excellent IMO nothing holds a candle to Darth, Luke, Yoda, Obi Wan, Hans, Leia and on and on so much to love ... wanted SW from the beginning!!!

tough but still a no brainer!!

teehee!

I own them alll too, and I watch them quite frequently. I was young when the early episodes came out, but I still remember the classic quotes from Ep. V to this day! So....

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back to WIN!!!!

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan to go

[Callista]

OK, I feel the time is right for me to reveal to you my most funny of Star Wars jokes (don't forget to read the lines out loud in the appropriate character's voice):

Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker were dueling, lightsabers drawn and sparks flying. Vader pinned Luke against a bulkhead and glared into his face. "I know what you're getting for your birthday, Luke." he said. Luke fought himself free and jumped to a higher platform just out of Vader's reach. "How do you know what I'm getting for my birthday?" he asked. Vader shot Luke an icy glare and said:

Spoiler:

"I felt your presents."

[Lucreleia]

EMPIRE STRIKES BACK:

VADER: There is no escape. Don't make me destroy you. You do not yet
realize your importance. You have only begun to discover you power.
Join me and I will complete your training. With our combined strength,
we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.

LUKE: I'll never join you!

VADER: If you only knew the power of the dark side. Obi-Wan never told
you what happened to your father.

LUKE: He told me enough! He told me you killed him.

VADER: No. I am your father.

Shocked, Luke looks at Vader in utter disbelief.

LUKE: No. No. That's not true! That's impossible!

VADER: Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

LUKE: Nooooo! No! No!

Classic, SO classic and spectacular!!!

I want to thank all the voters for taking part, and for putting up with my countless mistakes in this one. I’m finishing off the heroes tournament before taking about a month off, starting the new tournaments shortly after the New Year. I will be doing a short tournament soon, starting on Friday, “Greatest Christmas Songs Tournament”, which will be over in Off Topic, which should be fun.
