The moment
Alone in his X-Wing fighter approaching his last opportunity to destroy the Death Star, Luke Skywalker is caught in the gun sights of the evil Darth Vader. As Vader methodically proclaims "I have you now," an unexpected laser blast followed by an unmistakable "Yoo-hoo" sends Vader and his Tie Fighter into space. Han Solo has returned at the 11th hour to save the day.
Why we get choked
It's a classic moment of inimitable self-sacrifice that get's us all shivery every time. Pure cliché, pure pulp. pure joy.

Maybe it's that moment when Wind in his Hair asks Dances with Wolves if he can see that "he is his friend" and tells him that he "will always be [his] friend" that we missed.
Do you agree that this moment is one of the best?

An anguished Anakin replies, "I had to!"
I mean,you know he going to become Darth Vader but seeing how he was misled by the Emperor and how much he loved Padme, you now see Darth Vader as the victim. Oh it makes me breathless, but hey, I'm a girl :)
