Hey guys, I need a little help here. This is for anyone who's seen either of the Star Wars: Musical Edition DVDs (2003 or Trilogy version)-- what moments or clips from the DVDs do you think would best represent the show to someone who never saw it live? A dialogue, a song, a dance, an effect, a costume, a set piece, a prop, whatever snippets you think encapsulate the show. (This is DVD-specific-- unfortunately a lot of great stuff that was seen onstage never made it to the DVD, like Luke's falling hand in the Bespin duel, or the vast majority of the Sarlacc battle. So you don't have to have seen the show live to answer!)

A zillion thanks for any suggestions y'all can give!

I would suggest "my only hope" from the 2003. I think it's got a lot of the things that are fun about the show. The song parody itself is amusing, yet the lyrics are serious and fit really well with the music. It's got some of the meta humour ("could this be love at first sight" and "I'm too old for this sh... sort of thing" if you include the scene after) and the tech looks pretty good (well, if you ignore the big white sheet in the background.) And it certainly doesn't hurt that it has two of the best singers in the show in it. Unfortunately, I sing a little in there too :(
