My thoughts exactly. The Battle of Endor is gold. It only lasts like 4-5 minutes (if you take all the lightsaber duels and ground battles out), and each section only takes 30-60 seconds, but those are absolutely exciting. There's nothing better than that, imho.
Most space battles show too much and are way too long. Some of the DS9 battles got really boring, as well as the battle at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith.
The final battle in Star Trek 6 is also great. Could watch that over an over again. Cinematography, editing, music, sound effects, and the final shot of Enteprise and Excelsior destroying the Bird-of-Prey is fantastic.
