    One of the many in ROTS; "Not from a Jedi..."- Chancellor Palpatine. [face_devil]

    Great stuff, guys!

    Big up to GARTH_MAUL on the Watto catch.

    "I hope you didn't kill anyone I know for it!" - MWAHAHAHAHA

    Another great line, in fact...

    "May the Force be with us all..." (Mace, ROTS)

    It's the only time in the saga that a character uses the mantra in a pluralistic sense. There is much irony in that line. And I like the fact that it's spoken grimly by Mace and closes the scene out. Jackson did poorly in the prequels? Hardly! Also: Lucas has said that he has approached the films like a symphony, and subtly different lines like that, which are an obvious play on more conventional ones, bear that out.

    I agree with all of the above, and add Palpatine's induction of Anakin as a Sith. That scene really bridged the saga in a lot of ways for me. Palpatine suddenly became the Emperor we know from ROTJ.

    "You're fulfilling your destiny Anakin"

    "Become my apprentice, learn to use the dark side of the force"

    "The force is strong with you, a powerful Sith you will become. Henceforth you shall be known as Darth Vader"

    Ackbar says "May the Force be with us" before the Battle of Endor.

    Spoil sport... :p

    *has idea*

    Admiral Ackbar does not say "May the Force be with us" before the Battle of Endor. Admiral Ackbar does not talk. Admiral Ackbar is not the admiral you're looking for. [face_shame_on_you]

    In all seriousness, that's a good catch. I guess it still makes the "symphony" analogy work. For now we have two prominent figures saying the line in the third film of each trilogy. For one, it appears that the Force couldn't be less "with" them; for the other, the Force is truly with everyone.

    I dont know if this line has been mentioned already, but this is another favorite line of the prequels:

    "I will do what I must Obi-Wan", Qui-Gon answering to Obi-Wan after metting with the Jedi Coumcil about Anakin in The Phantom Menace.

    Ahhh!! there's so many lines that I love!! Number one will always be:

    1) "Hello There"

    I do not know why I love this line so much and please do not ask. I use it when greeting someone so often!

    Ok now here are #2 and 3.

    2) "Anakin Skywalker, meet Obi-Wan Kenobi." <----LOL. I was watching Episode I today and my dad started talking right before this line was uttered and I was like "SHHH! Be quiet for a minute!" to him just so I could hear this line. When it was over, my dad was like "you had me be quiet for this?" LOL.

    3) "The Council had granted me permission to train you. You will be a Jedi. I promise."<------I always shudder when Obi-Wan says "you will be a jedi." And again, my dad started talking to me right before this line as well and again I had to say "SHHHH!" and then he looked at me like I was really strange.

    And now for the rest in no particular order:

    4) "I am the Senate"

    5) "There's always a bigger fish."

    6) "Why do I get the feeling that you're going to be the death of me?"

    7) "You were the Chosen One!" <----the whole speech. I always get emotional =(

    8) "I hate you!" <----sooo sad. [cries]

    9) "You were my brother Anakin. I loved you." <-----[cries some more]

    10) "Don't make me kill you." <----- =(

    11) "Anakin is the father, isn't he? I'm so sorry." <----why do I love the depressing lines?

    12) "This is no time to discuss this in a committee!"
    "I am NOT a committe!"

    13) "I'm standing here in pieces and you're have delusions of grandeur!"

    14) "I believe that this asteroid is not entirely stable."
    "Not entirely stable? I'm glad you're here to tell us these things." <-----I don't know the exact quote.

    15) "I have a bad feeling about this."

    16) "This is where the fun begins" <----by both Anakin and Han, I believe.

    17) "Oh I see it. Oh this is going to be easy." (about Invisible Hand)

    18) "Artoo, stay with the ship/wait for orders/watch after the camp" <----poor Artoo.

    19) "What was that all about?"
    "Well Artoo has been..."
    "No loose wire jokes."
    "Did I say anything?"
    "He's trying."
    "I didn't say anything!"

    20) "The Force will be with you...always."

    21) "Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows it?"

    22) "Will someone get this big walking carpet out of my way?!"

    23) "*beep* *beep* *tweak* *screech* WHAOOHHH!" <----uhh...R2D2! LOL.

    24) "So this is how liberty dies...with thunderous applause."

    25) "My little...green...friend..."

    26) "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you."

    27) "Agree with you, the Council does. Your apprentice, Skywalker, will be."


    Ok, that's definately enough. I know there's more and I probably left out my favorite ones while thinking too much lol. Next time, I'll just post the script to all 6 movies on here and that'll be it. LOLOL.

    "If they find us, they will crush us, grind us into tiny pieces and blast us into oblivion" - Obi-Wan (not sure if that's a perfect quote, but close enough)

    "Always two there are, no more...no less...a master and an apprentice" - Yoda.

    "You overdid it" Obi-Wan after Qui-Gon does the vulcan neck pinch on Jar Jar.

    "I am C-3P0, human-cyborg relations" uh...C-3P0

    "At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi...at last we will have revenge." Darth Maul

    "Always a pleasure to meet a Jedi." Jango Fett

    "Fought well you have, my old Padawan." Yoda.

    "I sense great fear in you Skywalker. You have anger, you have hae...but you don't use them." Dooku

    "In time you will learn to trust your feelings, then you will be invincible." Palpatine.

    "Once more the Sith will rule the galaxy...and we shall have peace." Palpatine.

    "Master Yoda...you survived." Palpatine.

    "There's good in him. I know there's..." Padme

    "I..I couldn't have. She was alive, I FELT it." Vader.

    "Anakin my alleigence is to the Republic, to democracy." Obi-Wan.

    "The boy you trained, gone he is. Consumed, by Darth Vader." Yoda.

    "Victory? Victory you say? Master Obi-Wan, not victory...the shroud of the Dark Side has fallen. Begun, the clone war has." Yoda.

    "I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a commitee." Padme.

    Don't center on your anxieties Obi-Wan. Keep your concentration here and now where it belongs.
    But Master Yoda said I should be mindful of the future.
    But not at the expense of the moment.
    Not for a SITH.
    Jedi Business, Get back to your drinks.
    Truly wonderful the mind of a child is, hmmm hmm hm hm.
    I'm looking for Shmi Skywalker. (how he said it in the other language was Cool!)
    Well I should be (I think it is underrated, it was a great delivery)
    Is this what you call a diplomatic solution?
    No, I call it aggressive negotiations.
    I am a slow learner.
    Fought WELL you have, my old padawan.
    Ah Teh Teh. No loose wire jokes.
    His fate will be the same as ours.
    Besides, someone needs to be the poster boy.
    Soon I will have a new apprentice...
    You are so beautiful..
    It's only because I'm so in love
    I don't know... I won't let this one become real.
    What must I do, Master Yoda?
    Be careful of your friend Palpatine...
    You are on this Council... but we do not grant you the rank of Master.
    I swear to you, I didn't ask to be put on the Council.
    Yes, but use your feelings, Anakin. Something is out of place.
    It's very dangerous putting the two of them together.
    At last, we'll be able to capture that monster and end this war.
    The Sith rely on their passion for their strength. They think inwards, only about themselves.
    But be patient, Anakin.
    Obi-Wan, may the Force be with you.
    Good-bye, old friend.
    I sense a plot to destroy the Jedi. The dark side of the Force surrounds the Chancellor.
    To a dark place this line of thought will carry us.
    I know there are things about the Force that they are not telling me.
    Are you going to kill me?
    He won't give up his power. I've just learned a terrible truth.
    Yes. The one we've been looking for.
    If what you told me is true, then you will have gained my trust.
    You are under arrest, My Lord... You have lost.
    He must live...
    We must move quickly. The Jedi are relentless.
    Once more, the Sith will rule the galaxy, and we shall have peace.
    Have faith, my love. Please, wait for me.
    The Republic will be reorganized into the First Galactic Empire! For a safe and secure SOCIETY!
    Send me to kill the Emperor.
    He is like my brother. I cannot do it.
    Twisted by the dark side, young Skywalker has become. The boy you trained, gone he is, Consumed by Darth Vader.
    He was deceived by a lie. We all were.
    I'm doing this for you...
    You turned her against me!
    Don't make me kill you!
    You will Try.
    ...as is your faith in the dark side of the Force.
    ...Bring balance to the Force!
    You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you.
    We've always talked of adopting a baby girl. She will be loved by us.

    "Execute Order 66." - Palpatine Not actually one of my favorite lines, but one I wanted to discuss. I loved how it's "execute." Lucas could have chosen words like perform, fulfill, carry out, complete, do, realize, implement, etc. But no, he chose execute. A word that provides depth to a three-word sentence. Critics of GL's writing be damned. A simple line that could have been used in any 30's serial is used to perfection and with meaning in ROTS. Kill,, destroy, murder are the tasks the clone troopers are performing. But those words wouldn't work because they can't "murder" Order 66. I think its clever dialogue and a line I enjoy to think about.

    JEDI POODOO(dont need translation there)

    This is where the fun begins

    I dont mind flying, but what ur doing is suicide
