2. Esempio video 1: La celebre scena del doppio tramonto, Force Theme (Binary Sunset)

Qui assistiamo all'esposizione del tema della Forza in versione epica: possiamo considerarla un'anticipazione del futuro di Luke Skywalker come cavaliere Jedi.

[adambump]

Probably one of the most iconic shots and themes in all of Star Wars hell in all of media.

[NoHomers]

Not a single word of dialogue yet we experience of all Luke's emotions, hopes and dreams in a single scene, that's what made Star Wars magical.

[marcel]

"Tell me.... Is he the chosen one?"
"He is"
"Then he will avenge us"

[kennethcastelino]

This scene relates to us so much because we've all been there. Looking out beyond the horizon, fearful of facing our future while trying to leave the past behind.

[obi-wankenobi]

All these comments say “it’s probably one of the most iconic moments in the franchise”, when it is 100% one of the most iconic moments in all of cinematic history.

[curfimo]

And that's when everyone fell in love with Star Wars, ladies and gentlemen.

[lamz]

This has to be one of the most powerfull scenes of the cinematic history

[octopi]

Just imagine...Lucas decides to add a scene of Luke just looking at the sunset. Williams creates some music to fill in that screen time...and it turns out to be the most iconic scene in cinematic history.

[protype]

There is a Luke Skywalker in all of us, yearning to become something greater than ourselves.

This is the very last moment of Luke Skywalker's innocence. He takes one last look to the horizon, wondering what else is our there. He would soon find out. Once he turned around, his entire life as he knew it was never the same again, for better and worse. John Williams score in this scene perfectly captures this moment. It's the purest moment in the entire saga. Everyone can relate to feeling trapped, unfulfilled, yearning and longing for something beyond your circumstances and mundane day-to-day. Bravo, to Mr Lucas, Mr Hamill, Mr Williams and Mr Kurtz.

“He wants your Permission”
-Luke Skywalker

[GLASSB]

After 9 full length movies, and over 40 years, this is the most heartfelt 36 seconds throughout its entire saga.

_"All his life, as he looked away, to the future, to the horizon, never his mind on where he was, what he was doing"_
-Master Yoda

[ConorCarlisle]

You know you're a true Star Wars fan when you get a look at a sunset and this music immediately plays in your head.

[millabasset]

One of the most iconic scenes in my life, not just Star Wars. Everyone has some Luke Skywalker inside them, waiting to escape and unleash their potential.

[philly]

Powerful scene, it’s almost like Luke knows after that binary sunset things will never be the same.

[DoctorXander]

Words just aren't necessary sometimes

[samisikdar]

‘Talent without training is nothing’
- Luke Skywalker

[blockmasterscott]

I cannot stress enough how much seeing this scene in the theater had an impact on me in 1977 as an 11 year old boy in rural Louisiana growing up in a farm with no future. I was like him, sitting outside at dusk wishing that I was out in the world.


When I saw this scene at 11 years old, it was like a religious experience because I was living that scene. The big screen, the binary sunset, the look of despair on Luke's face, the swelling soundtrack, it was almost sensory overload.

Fun fact: this isn’t the first time you’ve gotten goosebumps while watching this
