Quotes from
Star Wars (1977)
[A large-eyed creature gives Luke a rough shove.]
Human: He doesn't like you.
Luke: I'm sorry.
Human: 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.
Human: You'll be dead!
Ben (Obi-wan) Kenobi: That's no moon. It's a space station.
Luke: Listen, 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.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: That's your uncle talking.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: 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.
Han Solo: Well, you can forget your troubles with those Imperial slugs. I told you I'd outrun 'em. [Nobody is listening.] Don't everyone thank me at once.
Han Solo: Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
Governor Tarkin: The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away.
Commander: But that's impossible. How will the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy?
Governor Tarkin: The regional governors now have direct control over their territories. Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station.
Luke Skywalker: I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you.
C-3PO: We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life.
Princess Leia Organa: Help me, Obi-wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.
Ben (Obi-wan) Kenobi: For more than a thousand generations the Jedi were the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy. Before the dark times. Before the Empire.
Luke: How did my father die?
Obi-Wan: 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.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Force can have a strong influence on a weak mind.
Han Solo: Han Solo. I'm captain of the Millennium Falcon. Chewie here tells me you're lookin' for passage to the Alderaan system?
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Yes indeed, if it's a fast ship.
Han Solo: Fast ship? You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?
Luke Skywalker: What a piece of junk!
Han Solo: She'll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Han Solo: Watch your mouth, kid, or you're gonna find yourself floating home.
Darth Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Darth Vader: Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
Princess Leia: The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.
C-3PO: Listen to them, they're dying, Artoo! Curse my metal body! I wasn't fast enough! It's all my fault! My poor master!
[Referring to Ben Kenobi.]
Tarkin: If you're right, he must not be allowed to escape.
Darth Vader: Escape is not his plan. I must face him. Alone.
[Two stormtroopers are posted near the tractor beam power terminal.]
Stormtrooper: Do you know what's going on?
Other stormtrooper: Maybe it's another drill.
Darth Vader: I sense something. A presence I've not felt since...
Obi-Wan Kenobi: You must learn the ways of the Force if you are to come with me to Alderaan.
C-3PO: Don't call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease!
C-3PO: We're doomed!
Han Solo: Wonderful girl! Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her.
Han Solo: Damn fool, I knew you were going to say that.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Who's the more foolish, the fool, or the fool who follows him?
Han Solo: Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy.
Leia: Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?
Han Solo: Get in there you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell!
Han: This is not going to work.
Luke: Why didn't you say so before?
Han: I did say so before!
Han Solo: Look, Your Worshipfulness, let's get one thing straight. I take orders from just one person: me!
Princess Leia: It's a wonder you're still alive. [Pushing past Chewbacca.] Will someone get this big walking carpet out of my way?
Han Solo: No reward is worth this!
[Princess Leia gets her first look at the Millennium Falcon.]
Princess Leia: You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!
[Luke blows up his first TIE fighter.]
Luke Skywalker: Got 'im! I got 'im!
Han Solo: Great, kid! Don't get cocky!
Princess Leia Organa: If money is all you love, then that's what you'll receive.
[After a successful rescue of Princess Leia.]
Luke Skywalker: So, what do you think of her, Han?
Han Solo: I'm tryin' not to, kid.
Luke Skywalker: [sotto voce] Good.
Han Solo: [baiting him] Still, she's gotta lot of spirit. I don't know, whaddya think? You think a princess and a guy like me--
Luke Skywalker: [quickly] No.
Luke: So... you got your reward and you're just leaving then?
Han: That's right, yeah! I got some old debts I've got to pay off with this stuff. Even if I didn't, you don't think I'd be fool enough to stick around here, do you? Why don't you come with us? You're pretty good in a fight. We could use you.
Luke: Come on! Why don't you take a look around? You know what's about to happen, what they're up against. They could use a good pilot like you. You're turning your back on them.
Han: What good's a reward if you ain't around to use it? Besides, attacking that battle station ain't my idea of courage. It's more like suicide.
Luke: All right. Well, take care of yourself, Han. I guess that's what you're best at, isn't it?
[starts to storm off]
Han: Hey, Luke... may the Force be with you. [Luke exits. Chewie growls.] What're you lookin' at? I know what I'm doin'.
Darth Vader: The Force is strong with this one.
Darth Vader: Commander, tear this ship apart until you've found those plans. And bring me the passengers, I want them alive!
Princess Leia: Darth Vader. Only you could be so bold.
[R2-D2 and Chewbacca are playing the holographic game aboard the Millennium Falcon.]
Chewbacca: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh
C-3PO: He made a fair move. Screaming about it can't help you.
Han Solo: Let him have it. It's not wise to upset a Wookiee.
C-3PO: But sir, nobody worries about upsetting a droid.
Han Solo: 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-3PO: I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2: let the Wookiee win.
Darth Vader: When I left you, I was but the learner. Now I am the master.
Han Solo: Not a bad bit of rescuing, huh? You know, sometimes I amaze even myself.
Princess Leia Organa: That doesn't sound too hard.
Darth Vader: Your powers are weak, old man.
Ben (Obi-wan) Kenobi: You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
Ben (Obi-wan) Kenobi: The Force will be with you, always.
Luke Skywalker: I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters.
[X-wings are approaching Death Star.]
Wedge Antilles (Red 2): Look at the size of that thing.
Red Leader: Cut the chatter, Red 2.
Officer: We've analyzed their attack, sir, and there is a danger. Should I have your ship standing by?
Governor Tarkin: Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances.
Ben (Obi-wan) Kenobi: Use the Force, Luke!
Uncle Owen: Where are you going?
Luke Skywalker: Looks like I'm going nowhere! ...I have to go finish cleaning those 'droids.
Aunt Beru: Luke's just not a farmer, Owen. He's got too much of his father in him.
Uncle Owen: That's what I'm afraid of.
Officer Cass: Our scout ships have reached Dantooine. They found the remains of a Rebel base, but they estimate that it has been deserted for some time. They are now conducting an extensive search of the surrounding systems.
Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin: [refering to Leia] She lied! She lied to us!
Darth Vader: I told you she would never consciously betray the Rebellion.
Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin: Terminate her! Immediatly!
[approaching the Death Star]
Luke Skywalker: I have a very bad feeling about this!
Luke Skywalker: You know, between his howling and you blasting everything in sight, it's a wonder the whole station doesn't know we're here!
Han Solo: Bring 'em on, I'd prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around!
Han Solo: Where did you dig up that old fossil?
Luke Skywalker: Ben is a great man.
Han Solo: Yeah, great at getting us into trouble!
Princess Leia Organa: Your friend is quite a mercenary. I wonder if he really cares about anything... or anybody.
Luke Skywalker: I care!
