Hyperspace

IV, V and VI-- One of the most iconic images of the entire saga is that of streaking stars as the Millenium Falcon, and other ships, make the jump into hyperspace. While ships in the prequels also travel at light speed, at no time do we see that iconic image, even though it was initially present at the script stage of TPM. Lucas has stated that he wanted to preserve the excitement of that moment's introduction in ANH, which is the reason it was held back in episodes I, II and III. As such, that moment in episode IV becomes a magic one, and Han, ironically, a practicioner of magic, as the character who introduces us to this special effects masterpiece.
