Original Trilogy Quotes

Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope

That wizard is just a crazy old man.

Don't underestimate the Force

Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Your father's light saber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times... before the Empire. 

I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father. 

Luke's just not a farmer, Owen. He has too much of his father in him. 

They're gonna execute her! Look, a few minutes ago you said you didn't want to just wait here to be captured. Now all you want to do is stay? 
         Marching into a detention area is not what I had in mind. 
              But they're gonna kill her! 

                      Better her than me! 

Uh, everything's under control. Situation normal. 

I don't like you either. 

I don't know who you are or where you came from, but from now on you'll do as I tell you, okay? 

That's no moon. It's a space station. 

You must learn the ways of the Force, if you're to come with me to Alderaan.

The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.

Don't everyone thank me at once. 

 Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid. 

I'm Luke Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you. 

We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life.

Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope. 

Someone has to save our skins. Into the garbage chute, fly boy. 

 Han Solo. I'm captain of the Millennium Falcon. Chewie here tells me you're lookin' for passage to the Alderaan system? 

Fast ship? You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon? 

 What a piece of junk! 

Governor Tarkin, I should have expected to find you holding Vader's leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board. 

Listen to them, they're dying R2! Curse my metal body, I wasn't fast enough, it's all my fault! My poor Master. 

Wonderful girl. Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her. 

 Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper? 

Get in there, you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell! 

 The Force is strong with this one. 

That's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that. 

You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine. 

These aren't the droids we're looking for. 

One thing's for sure, we're all gonna be a lot thinner. 

And now, your highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden rebel base... 

Close the blast doors! 

         Open the blast doors! Open the blast doors! 

Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything.

She's rich. 

He was the best star pilot in the galaxy, and a cunning warrior. I understand that you've become quite a good pilot yourself. 

But I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters! 

Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him? 

Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back

Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless. 

Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking Nerf herder. 
          Who's scruffy-looking? 

What is thy bidding, my master? 

We have a new enemy, the young Rebel who destroyed the Death Star. I have no doubt this boy is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker.

You must unlearn what you have learned. 

Mudhole? Slimy? My home this is! 

Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited. 
      Sorry sweetheart. I haven't got time for anything else. 

Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm.

It's not my fault!

I had nothing to do with it. General Rieekan thinks it's dangerous for anyone to leave the system until they've activated the energy shield. 

I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain. 

This may smell bad, kid, but it'll keep you warm until I get the shelter up... Ugh. And I thought they smelled bad on the *outside*. 

Looking? Found someone, you have, I would say, hmmm? 

No. *I* am your father. 

You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake, well, this could be it, sweetheart. 

         I take it back!

Away put your weapon. I mean you no harm. 

Yes, run! Yes, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice. 

Would it help if I got out and pushed? 

   It might! 

Scoundrel? Scoundrel? I like the sound of that. 

You like me because I'm a scoundrel. There aren't enough scoundrels in your life. 

He's no good to me dead. 

No! Stop, Chewie, stop! Chewie! Chewie this won't help me! Hey! Save your strength. There'll be another time. The Princess. You have to take care of her. You hear me? Huh? 

I love you. 

   I know. 

Hurry up, goldenrod! Or you're gonna be a permanent resident! 

That's two you owe me junior. 

I have a bad feeling about this... 

 Some day you're gonna be wrong, I just hope I'm there to see it. 

Hello, what have we here? 

We would be honored if you would join us. 

Star Wars Episode VI Return of the Jedi

Your father... was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and "became" Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So what I told you was true... from a certain point of view. 

There is still good in him. 

Leia! Leia is my sister. 

I'll not leave you here. I've got to save you. 
        You already have, Luke. 

Give yourself to the Dark Side. It is the only way you can save your friends. Yes, your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for... sister. So, you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her, too. Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete. If you will not turn to the Dark Side... then perhaps she will... 

You already... have, Luke. You were right. You were right about me. Tell your sister... you were right. 

Lord Vader, this is an unexpected pleasure. We are honored by your presence.

Obi-Wan has taught you well. 

I am fluent in over six million forms of communication

You're a jittery little thing, aren't you? 

Exciting is hardly the word I would choose. 

He's my father. 

I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big bright blur. 
     There's nothing to see. I used to live here, you know. 
              You're gonna die here, you know. Convenient. 

He's my brother. 

Many Bothans died to bring us this information. 

What could possibly have come over Master Luke? Is it something I did? He never expressed any unhappiness with my work. 

Search your feelings, Father, you can't do this. I feel the conflict within you. Let go of your hate. 

Because, there is good in him. I've felt it. He won't turn me over to the Emperor. I can save him. I can turn him back to the good side. I have to try. 

I will not fight you, father. 

It's your imagination, kid. Come on. Let's keep a little optimism here. 

Master Yoda, you can't die. 

Hey, it's me. 

This bounty hunter is my kind of scum: fearless and inventive. 

 Well, why don't you use your divine influence and get us out of this? 
         I beg your pardon General Solo, but that just wouldn't be proper. 
                 Proper?
                      It's against my programming to impersonate a deity. 

You're wrong, Leia. You have that power too. In time you'll learn to use it as I have. The Force runs strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. And... my sister has it. Yes. It's you, Leia. 

You rebel scum. 

 It's a trap! 

You underestimate the power of the Dark Side. If you will not fight, then you will meet your destiny. 

When nine hundred years old *you* reach, look as good *you* will not, hmm?

I'm rather embarrassed, General Solo, but it appears that you are to be the main course at a banquet in my honor. 

Now don't get jittery, Luke. There are a lot of command ships. Keep your distance, though, Chewie, but don't *look* like you're trying to keeping your distance. 

*I* don't know. Fly casual. 

 I have a really bad feeling about this.

A Jedi Knight? Jeez, I'm out of it for a little while, everyone gets delusions of grandeur! 

 She was... very beautiful. Kind, but sad. Why are you asking me this?
