Hail, fellow prequel sympathizer, and damn, I should have named the prequel duels (though I suspect the Ep. III one will top the others) as well in that category.
Re: "I am your father" - say, I'm curious. In the audio commentary to RotJ, Lucas mentions that he put the scene with Yoda confirming to Luke that Vader is Anakin Skywalker and his father there partly because child psychologist had told him the kids would just to into denial over the ESB revelation between movies, and would assume Vader was lying. Now me, I was 12 or so, and it was a very intense moment, but my reaction wasn't "No!" but "Wow - that makes so much sense!". It never occured to me that Vader might have been lying (don't know why, because as the villain I suppose he could have, in terms of movie rules). After the shock had settled and before RotJ came out, did you think it was the truth, or that he was lying?
