The most memorable lines of the original trilogy

"Hey!"--Scout Trooper who got tricked by Han Solo on Endor.

 

"...How are you?"

ROFL!

I love that line! Its so fantastic when he says it, and then cringes. Hahah! What a cack, makes me laugh every time!

 

"Mos Eisley space port. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." - Even the exposistion is quotable.

 

or the end of that conversation with Han:

BLAST "Aww, it was a boring conversation anwyay, Luke!, we're gonna have company!"

 

Do or do not, their is no try.-Yoda
I find your lack of faith desturbing.-Lord Vader

 

"You got a lot of guts coming here after what you pulled."
-Lando to Han

 

How we doing? . . . Same as always . . . That bad huh?

I love that line!

 

"Did you hear that?" (C3P0 - the very first words spoken in ANH)

"How rude" (C3P0 in ESB AND Jar Jar in TPM)

"Laugh it up fuzzball!" (Han)

"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?" (Leia, ANH)

"Look Sir!, droids" (ANH)

"How long have you had these droids?" (ANH)

"That boy is our last hope." "No there is another." (Obi and Yoda ESB)

"I felt a great disturbance in the force... I fear something terrible has happened" (Obi, ANH)

"That's no moon!" (Obi, AN)

"Carrie!" (Luke, ANH)

"You can't win Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." (Obi - ANH)

"Great shot, kid! That was one in a million!" (Han, ANH)

"I'd just as soon kiss a Wookie." "I can arrange that. You could use a good kiss!" (Leia and Han, ESB)

 

Jesus, there are so many...

'Curse my metal body, I wasn't fast enough...!' Vintage Threepio.

'Boy you said it Chewie: Where did you dig up that old fossil?' (the look of exaggerated pity on Han's face which accompanies this is priceless).

'Ben is a great man!'

'Yeah, great at gettin' us into trouble.'
I love those kind of exchanges.

What about the simple beauty of 'So be it... Jedi'?

Or Jabba - 'This bounty hunter is my kind of scum- fearless and inventive.'

Haha- I always liked 'Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways Lord Vader, your sad devotion to that ancient religion... (etc) Achachhrrhhach!' Force choked!

'Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?'

'I can't bide those Jawas. Disgusting creatures!' Threepio's hilarious!

Sarcasm from Yoda- 'Aahh, cannot get your ship out!'

'I've got the death sentence on twelve systems' Genius line flawlessly delivered! This character's baseless aggression cracks me up.

My all time favourite has to be - 'Wonderful girl! Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her.'

Oh my god I almost forgot about Lando.
'You look beautiful. You truly belong here with us among the clouds.'

'This deal is getting worse all the time.'

I could go on all night...

'Travelling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy...'

The script for the original 'Star Wars' has to be the most consistently amusing and engaging ever written for an adventure film. Unalloyed delight.

I love every letter of it.

 

"It is...too late for me, son."

 

"The Emperor has been expecting you."
"I know, father."
"So, you have accepted the truth!"
"I have accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skywalker, my father."
"That name no longer has any meaning for me."
"It is the name of your true self, you've only forgotten!"

************************

"Do you remember your mother; your real mother?"
"Just a little bit. She died when I was very young."
"What do you remember?"
"Just images, really, feelings."
"Tell me."
"She was very beautiful; kind, but...sad. Why are you asking me this?"
"I have no memory of my mother. I never knew her."

***************************

"I'll not leave you here, I've got to save you!"
"You already have, Luke. You were right. You were right about me. Tell your sister you were right."

***************************

"A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights. He betrayed and murdered your father."

"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."

***************************

"Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try."

"I'm not afraid."
"You will be. You will be."

"Much anger in him. Like his father."

"Oh, father. Powerful Jedi was he. Hmm. Powerful Jedi!"

***************************

"Listen, I don't know who you are, or where you come from. But from now on, you do as I tell you, OK?"

"Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited."
"Sorry sweetheart! We don't have time for anything else!"

"We would be honored if you would join us!"

There are soooo many more. All of Palpy's lines are golden, as are most of Vader's.

 

The first words out of Palpatines mouth in RTOJ...

"Rise my friend."


Vaders dying words...

"Let me see you with my own eyes."

 

Leia: "I like nice men."

Han: "I'm nice men."
-----

Ben: "You've taken your first step into a larger world."

 

Too many to chose, most have already been said...

ANH

"We're all fine here, now, er, how are you? (cringe)...(Blast) boring conversation anyway, Luke we're gonna have company!" (Han)

"Will someone get this walking carpet out of my way" (Leia)
"No reward is worth this!" (Han)

"I have you now" (Darth Vader)

ESB

"You could use a good kiss!" (Han)

"Why you stuck up half-witted, scruffy looking, nerfherder!" (Leia)

"No! Do or do not there is no try!" (Yoda)

"I love you" (Leia)
"I know" (Han)

"I am altering the the deed, you pray I don't alter it any further" (Darth Vader)

"No...I am your father" (Darth Vader)
"No, its not true, thats impossible!" (Luke)

ROTJ

"There is...ano-ther...Sky...Walker..." (Yoda)

"Hey its me! (Luke and Leia give exasperated looks)" (Han)

"Well, why don't you use your divine influence and get us outta this" (Han)

"I feel your anger... strike me down with all of your hate and your journey towards the darkside will be complete" (Emperor)

"So you have a sister...if you will not turn to the darkside perhaps she will" (Darth Vader)

"You will die" (Emperor)

"Tell your sister you were right" (Anakin Skywalker)

 

It's got to be
Vader: "I find your apparent lack of faith disturbing"
or
Kenobi:"Who's more the fool, or the fool who follws him"

 

"Apology accepted...Captain Needa" - Vader as he kills Captain Needa

 

Yoda: "Strong am I with the Force,but not that strong. Twilight is upon me,and soon night must fall. That is the way of things,the way of the Force."

I always liked that line becuase it sounds beautiful and poetic.

 

No, I am your father.

May the Force be with you.

TK421, why aren't you at your post?

 

Darth Vader

"No. I am your father."

"Search your feelings, you know it to be true."

"The Force is with you young Skywalker. But you are not a Jedi yet."

"Impressive. Most impressive."

"Don't make me destroy you."

"We would be honored, if you would join us."

"All too easy."

"I've been waiting for you Obi-Wan. We meet again at last."

"The Force is strong with this one."

"It is your destiny."

"You don't know the power of the Dark Side."


Yoda

"When ninehundred years old you reach. Look as good you will not."

"Help you I can yes, ummm."

"Wars not make one great."

"Do, or do not. There is no try."

"Judge me by my size do you?"

"For my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life creates it. Makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us, and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you. Between you, me, the tree, the rock. Everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship."

"Adventure, heh. Excitement, heh. A Jedi craves not these things."

"A Jedi's strength flows from the Force."

"Your father is."

"Patience. For the Jedi it is time to eat as well."

"Mine. Or I will help you not."

Control, control, you must learn control."

"Through the Force, things you will see. The future, the past, old friends long gone."

A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind."


Obi-Wan Kenobi

"Who is more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows it?"

"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful then you could possibly imagine."

"He's more machine now then man. Twisted and evil."

"If you choose to face Vader, you will do alone. I cannot interfear."

"The Force can have a strong influence on the weak minded."

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

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

"Yoda will always be with you."

"You will go to the Dagobah system. There you will learn from Yoda. The Jedi Master who instructed me."

The Force will be with you. Always."

 

ANH:

Let me see your identification. (Trooper)

You don't need to see his identification. (Ben)

We don't need to see his identification. (T)

These are not the droids you're looking for.(B)

These are not the droids we're looking for. (T)

He can go about his business. (B)

You can go about your business. (T)

Move along. (B)

Move along. Move along. (T)

 

VADER: The Force is with you young Skywalker. But you are not a Jedi
yet.

VADER: Impressive...most impressive.

VADER:You are beaten. It is useless to resist. Don't let yourself be
destroyed as Obi-Wan did.

 

ANH

"...and don't let me find you coming back begging for help, because you won't get it."

"You just consider playing back that message!"
Beep?
"No, I don't think he likes you at all."
Beep?
"No, I don't like you either."
oooooo

"What an incredible smell you've discovered!"

"So, what do you think of her?"
"I'm trying not to."
"Good!"
"Still... she's got spunk. Whaddaya think, kid, you think a girl like her and a guy like me-"
"No."


ESB

"He is as clumsy as he is stupid."

"Yeah, you're a real hero."

"I never doubted you for a second! Wonderful! Wonderful!"

ROTJ

"'Exciting' is hardly the word for it."

"But how could they be jamming us if they didn't... know... that we're coming...? Break off the attack! That shield's still up!"

 

EVERY LINE spoken by Palps in ROTJ. (See the sig!)

"Who's scruffy looking???"

"Laugh it up fuzzball."

"Apology accepted... Captain Needa."

"Don't fail me again ... Admiral."

"THAT is why you fail."

And lastly ...

"Hey!"--Scout Trooper who got tricked by Han on Endor.

 

You don't know the power of the dark side.-Darth Vader
May the Force be with you.

 

My favorite is:

"And now young Skywalker, you will die."

Palpatine has the majority of the best lines.

I also love this:

"Having trouble with your droid?"

"No, no trouble at all. Why?"
