    The opening scene. Lots of movies had featured spaceships like the one we initially see fleeing. When it reveals the size of the star destroyer, we know that it’s going to be a new type of story.

      I love that they show Leia’s ship coming in from the bottom of the frame, so we’re above it, but then the star destroyer from the top, so we see it from below. Really ups the intimidation factor and ensures we know who we’re rooting from before anyone has even spoke a word.

      When the Star Destroyer appeared, too big to fit onto the screen, I knew that science fiction movies had just changed.
