Star Wars Quotes

[Attack warning alarms are sounding throughout the Death Star and stormtroopers, officers & technicians are running to their posts. An Imperial officer is trying to find Darth Vader & eventually finds the Dark Lord calmly walking down a hall towards the hangar bay]

Imperial Officer: We count 30 Rebel ships, Lord Vader, but they're so small they're avoiding our turbolasers!

Darth Vader: We'll have to destroy them ship to ship. Get the crews to their fighters.
[the officer turns to carry out the order while Vader continues towards the hangar bay]

Movie: Star Wars
Anakin: Are you an angel?

Queen Amidala: What?

Anakin: An angel. I've heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They live on the moons of Iego, I think. They're the most beautiful creatures in the universe.

Queen Amidala: You're a funny little boy. How do you know so much?

Anakin: I listen to all the traders and star pilots who come through here. I'm a pilot, you know, and someday I'm going to fly away from this place.

Movie: Star Wars
[first title cards]

Title card/crawl: : A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Title card/crawl: : Turmoil has engulfed the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute. Hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly battleships, the greedy Trade Federation has stopped all shipping to the small planet of Naboo. While the Congress of the Republic endlessly debates this alarming chain of events, the Supreme Chancellor has secretly dispatched two Jedi Knights, the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, to settle the conflict...

Movie: Star Wars
Darth Vader: What is thy bidding, my master?

Emperor: There is a great disturbance in the Force.

Darth Vader: I have felt it.

Emperor: We have a new enemy, the young Rebel who destroyed the Death Star. I have no doubt this boy is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker.

Darth Vader: How is that possible?

Emperor: Search your feelings, Lord Vader. You will know it to be true. He will destroy us.

Darth Vader: He's just a boy. Obi-Wan can no longer help him.

Emperor: The Force is strong with him. The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi.

Darth Vader: If he could be turned, he will become a powerful ally.

Emperor: Yes. He would be a great asset. Can it be done?

Darth Vader: He will join us or die, my master.

Movie: Star Wars
Princess Leia: All troop carriers will assemble at the north entrance. The heavy transport ships will leave as soon as they're loaded. Only two fighter escorts per ship. The energy shield can only be opened for a short time, so you'll have to stay very close to your transports.

Derek 'Hobbie' Klivian: Two fighters against a Star Destroyer?

Princess Leia: The ion cannon will fire several shots to make sure any enemy ships will be out of your flight path. When you've gotten past the energy shield, proceed directly to the rendezvous point. Understood? Good luck.

Movie: Star Wars
Mark Hamill: That to him was really inappropriate humor at the time, because I'm sure he's in the zone and he's seeing what he wants to do, and we're just, like, actors trying to stave off boredom because, you know, we've been in the trash compactor all morning.

Movie: Star Wars
The Emperor: Rise my friend.

Darth Vader: The Death Star will be completed on schedule.

The Emperor: You've done well, Lord Vader. And now I sense you wish to continue your search for young Skywalker.

Darth Vader: Yes, my Master.

The Emperor: Patience my friend. In time he will seek *you* out, and when he does, you must bring him before me. He has grown strong. Only together can we turn him to the Dark Side of the Force.

Darth Vader: As you wish.

The Emperor: Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

Movie: Star Wars
[En route to attack the new Death Star]

Lando Calrissian: Don't worry, my friend's down there. He'll have that shield down in time... Or this'll be the shortest offensive of all time.

Movie: Star Wars
Rahn: [the Imperial Remnants have just destroyed an Alliance Battle squadron. A fregate ship same to the Tantive IV has just been destroyed, a Super Star Destroyer makes an appearance. Inside the ship, The Dark Master Jerec gripped a young rebel officer. Rahn is brought before his rival] Why hesitate? Strike me down.

Jerec: [standing with his Dark Jedi adepts: Sariss, Boc, Yun, Pic&Gorc, Maw and two royal guards. Jerec comes closer to the rebel veteran they captured] In time Rahn. First I need something from you.

Jerec: [Jerec uses a mind power to search into Rahn's spirit] MORGARN KATARN. This dead man holds the Valley's location. I have no further use for you, old man.

Rahn: AHHH!
[He uses the force to push Yun and takes his yellow lightsaber, Ranh gets up and fights Pic&Gorc and Maw]

Boc: Master!
[the Jedi lord attacks Boc and then cuts Maw in two pieces]

Sariss: Yah!
[Sariss attacks Rahn as Jerec strikes on the Jedi's weapon]

Jerec: [Jerec uses forces destruction to shock Rahn and then moves to eliminate his enemy without pity] Hahhhahahahahahahahahah!

Movie: Star Wars
Master Vrook Lamar: The dark side is alluring. I fear this quest to find the Star Forge may lead you down an all too familiar path.

Movie: Star Wars
Admiral Dodonna: We've done it, Vandar! The Star Forge is destroyed, and the Sith are routed!

Master Vandar Tokare: But at what cost, Admiral? Where is the Ebon Hawk and her crew?

Movie: Star Wars
[while under attack by Star destroyers]

Han Solo: Why do I always think gettin' you home for Life Day is gonna be easy?

Movie: Star Wars
General Dodonna: The battle station is heavily shielded and carries a firepower greater than half the star fleet. It's defenses are designed around a direct, large-scale assault. A small one-man fighter should be able to penetrate the outer defense.

Gold Leader: Pardon me for asking, sir, but what good are snub fighters going to be against that?

General Dodonna: Well, the Empire doesn't consider a small one-man fighter to be any threat, or they'd have a tighter defense. An analysis of the plans provided by Princess Leia has demonstrated a weakness in the battle station. But the approach will not be easy. You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point. The target area is only two meters wide. It's a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station. Only a precise hit will set off a chain reaction. The shaft is ray-shielded, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes.
Wedge Antilles (Red 2): That's impossible! Even for a computer.

Luke: It's not impossible. I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters.

General Dodonna: Then man your ships. And may the Force be with you.

Movie: Star Wars
Han Solo: Stay sharp. There's two more coming in. They're gonna try and cut us off.

Luke: Well why don't you outrun them? I thought you said this thing was fast!

Han Solo: Watch your mouth kid, or you're gonna find yourself floating home. We'll be safe enough once we make the jump to hyperspace. Besides, I know a few maneuvers. We'll lose em'!
[the ship shudders as an explosion flashes outside the window]

Han Solo: Here's where the fun begins!

Obi-Wan: How long before you can make the jump to light speed?

Han Solo: It'll take a few moments to get the coordinates from the navi-computer.
[the ship begins to rock violently as lasers hit it]

Luke: Are you kidding? At the rate they're gaining?

Han Solo: Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star, or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?

Movie: Star Wars
[X-wings are approaching Death Star]
Wedge Antilles (Red 2): Look at the *size* of that thing!

Red Leader: Cut the chatter, Red 2. Accelerate to attack speed.

Movie: Star Wars
[approaching the Death Star]

Luke: I have a very bad feeling about this.

Movie: Star Wars
Darth Vader: [zeroing in on Luke's fighter] I have you now!
[one of Vader's wing-men explodes]

Darth Vader: What?

Han Solo: YAHOOO!
[the Millenium Falcon appears]

Tie Fighter pilot: Look out!
[Han fires again, the second fighter collides with Vader's, sending him careening away]

Han Solo: You're all clear, kid, now let's *blow* this thing and go home!
[Luke fires, the torpedoes dive down the exhaust port; the Millenium Falcon leads the remaining rebel ships away as the Death Star explodes]
