Okay, take two (random order):

01 - The Millennium Falcon barrel-rolling away from three ISDs during the Hoth escape – Just a crazy shot. Han Solo hanging it all out in the wind.
02 - “The Force is with you, young Skywalker. But you are not a Jedi yet.” The definitive Vader moment for me.
03 - Star Destroyer pursuit of the Blockade Runner – The first Star Wars scene ever is easily one of its greatest.
04 - Vader Force-choking Admiral Motti (and the accompanying LFE)
05 - “You want the impossible.” - The shot that holds on Yoda as Luke stands, focusing your attention on how small Yoda really is – just a beautiful scene.
06 - The Rebel Fleet coming out of hyperspace over Endor – Jedi is my least favorite of the OT by far, but the space battles are fantastic.
07 - “Hello, what have we here?” Love everyone’s facial expressions in this scene. ESB in particular nailed the humorous side of the characters.
08 - The binary sunset – set the tone perfectly for Luke and one of my favorite musical cues, as well.
09 - Han Solo casually walking out of the cantina after wasting Greedo – So badass.
10 - “I am your father.” – I remember not wanting to believe this back in ’80 (I was 10) and having to wait until ’83 to have in confirmed.

Oh man, tough topic!

ROTS: Anakin and Padme facing each other from across the city as Anakin considers going to Palpatine's office.
R1: Jyn and Cassian on the beach awaiting the blast.
TFA: The saber goes to Rey.
ROTJ: Luke attacks Vader after he threatens Leia.
ANH: Han shoots Greedo (first, last, and only. The SEs are anathema. I shall not mention them again)
ANH: Luke finds his aunt and uncle dead.
ANH: Binary sunset.
ESB: Battle of Hoth. All of it. Moments? First arrival/view of AT-ATs and the snowtroopers storming (heh) echo base followed by Vader, I guess.
ESB: Luke and Vader duel. Moments? Perhaps "You are not a Jedi yet" or "You are beaten, it is useless to resist!"
ESB: I am your father.

If I had to think of ICONIC moments, I'd have to stick to the OT honestly, though I think TFA may become iconic to future generations having been so widely accepted. Not to be a hater, but I can't think of a single moment in TPM or AOTC that would crack my top 25. Maul's first unleashing of the second blade is cool, but divorced from any real substance. Ditto the Geonosis arena...still, "This party's over" might make the list. The ROTS Order 66 montage would as well as far as PT stuff.

Edit: This kind of list could keep me up at night. Can we do a top 50?! Arggh, opening shot of SW, Ben's death, Yoda raises the x-wing...arrrrgggghhh!

If we're just throwing in any number of favourite moments then I'll give an honourable mention to The glimpse of Darth Vader's rhubarb and custard head. (TESB)
 
What I love about this is all the different things that mean something to each and every one of us.

I remember my crazy friend saying that his favourite part of ROTS was Ewan on the lizard thing?
"totally Star Wars" he said :)
I think of that often when I'm getting all high and mighty about the various bits in the films I don't like.
Its up to him, it's his Star Wars too.......(Even though he's wrong)

What are his thoughts on Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen?
 
1. Blowing up the Death Star. (SW) Even after hundreds of rewatches, the tension of this one climactic scene is still palpable.
2. Vader reveals himself to Luke in the carbonation chamber. (ESB) Vader's bassy voice echoing with menace through the chamber still gives me goosebumps.
3. "I am your father." (ESB) Still one of the greatest plot twists of all time.
3. Luke refusing the Emperor's offer. (RotJ) This is really the big moment of the OT. Every bit of Luke's journey has led up to this moment in time, and it's what truly defines Luke as a hero.
4. Anakin's christening as Vader. (RotS) This is the turning point of the Saga. All of Anakin's anger and frustration caps off in one moment where he ultimately makes the choice that forever seals his fate.
5. Anakin telling Obi-Wan he hates him (RotS) This is the moment when Vader becomes irredeemable in his former master's eyes. This is the moment that, for Obi-Wan, Anakin is truly dead and been replaced by Darth Vader.
6. Anakin and Obi-Wan bid each other farewell as Obi-Wan leaves for Utapau. (RotS) This moment is often overlooked, but it's perhaps one of the most poignant in the saga. This moment is the very last time that Obi-Wan and Anakin ever speak to each other as friends.
7. Obi-Wan decides to train Anakin. (TPM) This is the moment when the entire Saga really begins. It forever ties the two characters together.
8. Anakin destroys the Emperor. (RotJ) This is the point where the prophesy is fulfilled and Anakin returns. The Sith are forever destroyed and marks the beginning of the end for the Galactic Empire.
9. Jyn uploads the Death Star plans to the Rebellion. (R1) The finale moment of the movie, and one of the most emotional too. It's the greatest victory against the Empire the Rebellion has gained, yet, and at great sacrifice.
10. Vader's revenge (R1) Admit it, this is what we've all wanted to see from Vader for 40 years. Since the moment the black knight came on the silver screen, we've wanted to see just how dangerous this former Jedi's fury can be. To see Vader slashing his way through a squad of Rebel troops as if they were mannequins is really one of the highlights of the Saga. This is Vader at his most terrifying. The pure blind fury that you see from him is one of the greatest moments in the Saga.
