Star Wars: Line By Line Script Analysis Thread

WELCOME TO THE STAR WARS LINE BY LINE SCRIPT ANALYSIS THREAD!

In this thread will be studying, analyzing and discussion in depth about the scripts of all the beloved 'Star Wars' films line by line; Just like Moleman1138 has his series of threads studying the films scene by scene, this thread will bring fans of all genders, ages, cultures, nationalities, creeds and view of the world to study and analyze the lines spoken by all of the characters in the Star Wars film. As Host of the thread, I will post a random line from one of the six films each week and we will discuss everything about the line from it's function in the plot and story to what aspect, intention and personality it reveals of the character who speaks it, to a critical analysis of if the line works and what you think about it, if it will be remembered by the general public, etc etc; From Behind the scenes perspective to an in-universe point of view; From a study of metaphoric subliminal meaning to a observation of logic and reason. This I feel will help bring us together as fans and develop an even deeper and in depth detailed understanding of the characters, the films and Star Wars as a whole, and also it can be very fun and geeky and gives us something to do as fans in this time of nothing new from Lucasfilm and also give us a new perception of the films so when we watch them for the billionth time, it will still feel new and enlightening. I certainly hope you all will enjoy this thread.

AHHHH!!!!! So...much...analysis...thingies.

Okay, I think it was just a "filler line." The story needed this line to introduce the fact That the council had suspicions but was unable to do anything. I would say it is a very dry line though.
