    Title says it all: does anyone have a list of all usages of the word in the classic trilogy. I googled the question, expecting lists to be quite common, but nothing came up.

    LEIA Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my
    only hope. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
    You're my only hope.

    LUKE Well, come on. It's getting late. I
    only hope we can get back before
    Uncle Owen really blows up.

    HAN Seems okay, if we can get to it.
    Just hope the old man got the tractor
    beam out of commission.

    HAN I hope the old man got that tractor
    beam out if commission, or this is
    going to be a real short trip. Okay,
    hit it!

    LEIA The technical readouts of that battle
    station. I only hope that when the
    data is analyzed, a weakness can be
    found. It's not over yet!

    LEIA We don't have time for our sorrows,
    Commander. The battle station has
    surely tracked us here.
    (looking pointedly to
    Han)
    It's the only explanation for the
    ease of our escape. You must use the
    information in this R2 unit to plan
    the attack. It is our only hope.

    Last bit conflates stuff from earlier scenes- old script.

    LEIA We don't have time for our sorrows,
    Commander. The battle station has
    surely tracked us here.
    (looking pointedly to
    Han)
    It's the only explanation for the
    ease of our escape. You must use the
    information in this R2 unit to plan
    the attack. It is our only hope

    Underlined bits are not present in actual scene:

    LEIA: We have no time for sorrows, Commander. You must use the information in this R2 unit to help plan the attack. It's our only hope.

    The way Vader says, "I hope so, Commander, for your sake," sent chills down my spine.

    Certainly mentioned a lot in R1. Maybe that movie holds the record.

    Speaking of words, seems Lucas had a thing for the word "mindful" when he wrote the PT. It's everywhere, then isn't mentioned again in the OT or the ST so far[face_dunno]

    Well, it's used twice in TPM, in one scene, and once in AOTC.

    You haven't been mindful of the dialogue.

    TPM

    1. But Master Yoda said I should be mindful of the future.

    2. Be mindful of the living Force, young Padawan.

    3. Be mindful of your feelings.
    Your thoughts dwell on your mother.

    4. I'm not allowed to train you so I want you to watch me and be mindful.

    5. Lord Maul, be mindful. Let them make the first move.

    AotC

    1. You're focusing on the negative Anakin. Be mindful of your thoughts!

    2. Be mindful of your thoughts Anakin, they betray you.

    So that's SEVEN times in Eps I & II & not a single time in all following episodes & movies. Seems it was GL's favorite word when he wrote the first two prequels. To me it stands out as a strange fad that was overused & then dropped.

    Oh yeah, I was using an incomplete transcript to check for its uses.
