Top 50 Quotes From Star Wars

Aunt: Where are you going?
Luke: Looks like I'm going nowhere. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go finish cleaning those droids.
Aunt: [after Luke leaves] Owen, he can't stay here forever, most of his friends have gone. It means so much to him.
Uncle: I'll make it up to him next year; I promise.
Aunt: Luke's just not a farmer, Owen. He has too much of his father in him.
Uncle: That's what I'm afraid of.

Ben: There was nothing you could have done, Luke, had you been there. You'd have been killed too, and the droids would now be in the hands of the Empire.
Luke: I want to come with you to Alderaan. There's nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father.

Luke: How did my father die?
Ben: 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. Now the Jedi are all but extinct. Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force.

Darth: [zeroing in on Luke's fighter] I have you now!
[one of Vader's wing-men explodes]
Darth: What?
Han: YAHOOO!
[the Millennium Falcon appears]
Tie: Look out!
[Han fires again, the second fighter collides with Vader's, sending him careening away]
Han: You're all clear, kid, now let's blow this thing and go home!
[Luke fires, the torpedoes dive down the exhaust port; the Millennium Falcon leads the remaining rebel ships away as the Death Star explodes]

C: I would much rather have gone with Master Luke than stay here with you. I don't know what all this trouble is about, but I'm sure it must be your fault.
[R2 beeps an angry response]
C: You watch your language!

Ben: The Force will be with you, always.

Darth: [addressing the Tantive IV's captain, whom he is interrogating] Where are those transmissions you intercepted? WHAT have you DONE with those plans?
[holding Captain Antilles off the floor, the Captain's feet are dangling at Vader's knees]
Captain: We intercepted no transmissions...
[gasps]
Captain: ... This is a consular ship... We're on a -
[chokes]
Captain: diplomatic mission...
Darth: [shouting] If this is a consular ship, WHERE is the ambassador?
[Antilles dies before he can answer, and Vader throws the man's body against the wall, narrowly missing 2 stormtroopers]
Darth: Commander, tear this ship apart until you find those plans! And bring me all passengers, I want them ALIVE!

Princess: It's not over yet.
Han: It is for me, sister. Look, I ain't in this for your revolution, and I'm not in it for you, Princess. I expect to be well paid. I'm in it for the money.
Princess: You needn't worry about your reward. If money is all that you love, then that's what you'll receive.
[to Luke]
Princess: Your friend is quite the mercenary. I wonder if he really cares about anything. Or anybody.
[she stalks out]
Luke: [calling after her] I care.
[to Han]
Luke: So, what do you think of her, Han?
Han: I'm tryin' not to, kid.
Luke: Good.
Han: [baiting him] Still, she's got a lot of spirit. I don't know, whaddya think? You think a princess and a guy like me...
Luke: [quickly] No.

Ben: In my experience, there's no such thing as luck.

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

Ben: 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.

[approaching the Death Star]
Luke: I have a very bad feeling about this.

[Han answers the intercom after comandeering an attack station]
Han: [1:15:22] Uh, everything's under control. Situation normal.
Voice: What happened?
Han: [getting nervous] Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?
Voice: We're sending a squad up.
Han: Uh, uh... negative, negative. We had a reactor leak here now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak, very dangerous.
Voice: Who is this? What's your operating number?
Han: Uh...
[Han shoots the intercom]
Han: [muttering] Boring conversation anyway. LUKE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE COMPANY!

Ben: I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damn fool idealistic crusade like your father did.
Luke: What is it?
Ben: 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.

General: [37:45] And what of the Rebellion? If the Rebels have obtained a complete technical reading of this station, it is possible, however unlikely, they might find a weakness and exploit it.
Darth: The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands.
Admiral: Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they have obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it!
Darth: Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet, or even a whole system, is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
Admiral: Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebels' hidden fort...
[Vader makes a pinching motion and Motti starts choking]
Darth: I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Grand: Enough of this! Vader, release him!
Darth: As you wish.
[He does]
Grand: This bickering is pointless! Lord Vader will provide us with the location of the Rebel fortress by the time this station is operational. We will then crush the Rebellion with one swift stroke!

Luke: [32:37] No, my father didn't fight in the Clone Wars. He was a navigator on a spice freighter.
Ben: That's what your uncle told you. He didn't hold with your father's ideals; he felt he should've stayed here and not gotten involved.
Luke: You fought in the Clone Wars?
Ben: Yes. I was once a Jedi knight, the same as your father.
Luke: I wish I'd known him.
Ben: He was the best star pilot in the galaxy, and a cunning warrior. I understand that you've become quite a good pilot yourself.
[sorrowfully]
Ben: And he was a good friend.

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

Princess: Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?
Luke: Huh? Oh, the uniform.
[Luke takes off Stormtrooper mask]

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

Stormtrooper: Let me see your identification.
Ben: [with a small wave of his hand] You don't need to see his identification.
Stormtrooper: We don't need to see his identification.
Ben: These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Stormtrooper: These aren't the droids we're looking for.
Ben: He can go about his business.
Stormtrooper: You can go about your business.
Ben: Move along.
Stormtrooper: Move along... move along.

Luke: She's rich.
Han: [interested] Rich?
Luke: Rich, powerful. Listen, if you were to rescue her, the reward would be...
Han: What?
Luke: Well, more wealth than you can imagine!
Han: I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit.

Princess: Governor Tarkin! I should have expected to find you holding Vader's leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.
Grand: Charming to the last. You don't know how hard I found it, signing the order to terminate your life.
Princess: I'm surprised that you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself.
Grand: Princess Leia, before your execution, I would like you to be my guest at a ceremony that'll make this battle station operational. No star system will dare oppose the Emperor now.
Princess: The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.
Grand: Not after we demonstrate the power of this station. In a way, you have determined the choice of the planet that'll be destroyed first. Since you are reluctant to provide us with the location of the Rebel base, I have chosen to test this station's destructive power on your home planet of Alderaan.

[repeated line]
C: [to R2-D2] This is all your fault.

Luke: [griping about Tatooine] If there's a bright center to the universe, you're on the planet that it's farthest from.

Obi: I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

Darth: [1:55:54] The Force is strong with this one.

Han: Look, Your Worshipfulness, let's get one thing straight. I take orders from just one person: me.
Princess: It's a wonder you're still alive.
[Pushing past Chewbacca]
Princess: Will someone get this big walking carpet out of my way?
Han: No reward is worth this.

C: Just you reconsider playing that message for him!
[R2 beeps a question]
C: No, I don't think he likes you at all.
[R2 beeps again]
C: No, I don't like you either.

Luke: [about Princess Leia] 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?
Han: Marching into a detention area is not what I had in mind.
Luke: But they're gonna kill her!
Han: Better her than me!

Han: Han Solo. I'm captain of the Millennium Falcon. Chewie here tells me you're lookin' for passage to the Alderaan system?
Ben: Yes indeed, if it's a fast ship.
Han: Fast ship? You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?
Ben: Should I have?
Han: It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. I've outrun Imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers mind you, I'm talking about the big Corellian ships now. She's fast enough for you old man. What's the cargo?
Ben: Only passengers. Myself, the boy, two droids... and no questions asked.
Han: [chuckles] What is it? Some kind of local trouble?
Ben: Let's just say we'd like to avoid any Imperial entanglements.

Ben: Use the Force, Luke.

[repeated line]
Princess: Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope.

C: Don't call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease.

[first title cards]
Title: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Title: It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy...

Princess: General Kenobi. Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack, and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.
[pause]
Ben: [to Luke] You must learn the ways of the Force, if you're to come with me to Alderaan.
Luke: Alderaan? I'm not going to Alderaan, I've gotta get *home*, it's late, I'm in for it as it is!
Ben: I need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I'm getting too old for this sort of thing.
Luke: Look, I can't get involved. I've got work to do. It's not that I like the Empire; I hate it, but there's nothing I can do about it right now... It's all such a long way from here.
Ben: That's your uncle talking.

[Ponda Baba gives Luke a rough shove and starts yelling at Luke in an alien language which Luke doesn't understand]
Dr. Evazan: [explaining] He doesn't like you.
Luke: Sorry.
Dr. Evazan: [grabbing Luke] *I* don't like you either. You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems.
Luke: I'll be careful.
Dr. Evazan: You'll be dead!
Ben: [intervening] This little one's not worth the effort. Come, let me get you something.
[Dr. Evazan shoves Luke across the room and pulls out a blaster]
Bartender: No blasters! No blasters!
[Obi-Wan ignites his lightsaber, wounding Dr. Evazan and severing Ponda Baba's arm]

[R2-D2 and Chewbacca are playing the holographic game aboard the Millennium Falcon]
Chewbacca: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh!
C: He made a fair move. Screaming about it can't help you.
Han: Let him have it. It's not wise to upset a Wookiee.
C: But sir, nobody worries about upsetting a droid.
Han: That's 'cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that.
Chewbacca: Grrf.
C: I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2: let the Wookiee win.

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

Commander: We've analyzed their attack, sir, and there is a danger. Should I have your ship standing by?
Grand: Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances.

Ben: [to R2-D2] Hello there.
[R2 beeps]
Ben: Come here, my little friend. Don't be afraid.
[R2 beeps a question]
Ben: Oh don't worry, he'll be alright.

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

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

[repeated line]
C: We're doomed.

Han: Great shot, kid, that was one in a million!

Princess: No! Alderaan is peaceful! We have no weapons, you can't possibly...
Grand: [impatiently] You would prefer another target, a military target? Then name the system! I grow tired of asking this so it will be the last time: Where is the rebel base?
Princess: ...Dantooine. They're on Dantooine.
Grand: There. You see, Lord Vader, she can be reasonable. Continue with the operation; you may fire when ready.
Princess: WHAT?
Grand: You're far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration - but don't worry; we will deal with your rebel friends soon enough.

Ben: Mos Eisley spaceport: You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

Darth: I sense something; a presence I've not felt since...

Darth: He is here.
Grand: Obi-Wan Kenobi? What makes you think so?
Darth: A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master.
Grand: Surely he must be dead by now.
Darth: Don't underestimate the Force.
Grand: The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion.
[answering a comm signal]
Grand: Yes?
Voice: We have an emergency alert in detention block AA-23.
Grand: The Princess? Put all sections on alert.
Darth: Obi-wan is here. The Force is with him.
Grand: If you're right, he must not be allowed to escape.
Darth: Escape is not his plan. I must face him, alone.

Darth: This will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of Kenobi, it will soon see the end of the Rebellion.

Han: Hokey religions and ancient weapons are not a good match for a blaster at your side, kid.
Luke: You don't believe in the Force, do you?
Han: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other; 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. There's no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. Anyway, it's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
