Like everyone else, I am so happy to see the Star Wars franchise back and in full force with the success of Episode VII: The Force Awakens and Rogue One. For May the Fourth I decided to put together a list of the best scenes. You’ll notice an absence of anything from episodes I – III as I don’t feel that they belong in anything involved with the Star Wars franchise. I also have excluded the cartoon series’ as I have not seen enough of them to include here. Instead of writing a full recap of each scene (which would end up extremely lengthy) I have included a list of a few highlights from each scene.
