* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** ''Film/ANewHope'': The opening shot. The ''Tantive IV'' flies past the camera, exchanging fire with something behind it...and it's shortly followed by a ''massive'' ship that ''just keeps coming''.
** ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'': [[LukeIAmYourFather "No. I am your father."]] It's an ItWasHisSled now, but at the time, it was ''incredibly'' shocking and kept so thoroughly under wraps that ''not even David Prowse'' (the actor who wore Darth Vader's suit) knew about it in filming!
** ''Film/TheForceAwakens'':
*** Kylo Ren ''stopping a blaster bolt in mid-air'' and ''holding it there'' for an extended period of time ''without looking''.
*** The First Order using Starkiller Base to destroy an entire inhabited star system; five planets, from hyper-space distance, at the same time.
*** Any time Rey uses the Force, but ''especially'' when she grabs Anakin's lightsaber and lights it up to fight Kylo Ren.
** ''Film/RogueOne'':
*** The sheer amount of named character deaths. The first Death Star test firing. The epic final battle of Scarif, both on the planet's surface and in space. Last, but not least, we have Darth Vader's arrival to the battle. It's marked by his Star Destroyer ploughing through Alliance ships when it exits hyperspace and ends with him carving a path through rebel soldiers like they were made of cardboard.
*** The first live-action return of a functional [=AT-AT=] variant since ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', stomping through to attack the Rebels, giving lots of [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Battle of Hoth]] nostalgia.
*** The Hallway Scene deserves attention. Just this scene alone--of Vader effortlessly cutting his way through terrified Rebel RedShirts in pursuit of those stolen plans--has turned into the most-talked-about scene of the entire movie, and it happens in under two minutes of screen time.
*** The destruction of the Shield Gate over Scarif. They don't just [[RammingAlwaysWorks ram it]] with one of the rebel flagships, oh no. They use the smaller ship's leverage ''[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome to ram a Star Destroyer into another Star Destroyer]]'', '''[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome causing them both to smash into the Shield Gate and obliterate it.]]'''
** ''Film/TheLastJedi'' is just one big shock after another:
*** It seems that everyone's hearts skipped a beat when Kylo Ren was considering killing his own mother.
*** The shot of Luke buried under the rubble of the Jedi Academy, meaning both that Kylo tried to straight-up kill him, and that he failed because Luke is that much of a badass.
*** Rey igniting her lightsaber while glaring intensely at Luke.
*** Leia using the Force to survive being ''blasted into space''.
*** Force Ghost Yoda (portrayed by an actual puppet!) appearing to Luke and summoning lightning to burn the Jedi Temple down.
*** Kylo telekinetically cutting Snoke in half with Anakin's lightsaber.
*** Admiral Holdo's DyingMomentOfAwesome by ramming the ''Raddus'' into Snoke's flagship '''at light speed.'''
*** The reveal that Luke's appearance on Crait in the third act was an astral projection from the clear other side of the galaxy.
** ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'':
*** The wreck of the Death Star II returns, and by extension, the Endor system!
*** "Dark Rey" wielding a double-bladed red lightsaber.
*** Rey's true lineage is revealed and she's a ''Palpatine''.
