It’s almost unfair to not nominate the entirety of “The Eye”, one of the tenses hours of Star Wars ever, but the exhilarating, awful, beautiful escape of Vel, Cassian, Skeen, and the dying Nemik with their Imperial Payroll through the beautiful-but-deadly stellar phenomena the Aldhani religiously revere? From the visuals to the tension to Nemik’s pained howls commanding Cassian to fly higher and higher to their freedom, it’s an incredible sequence.
