Luke's Desire to Become a Jedi
Obi-Wan
There was nothing you could've done, Luke, had you been there. You would've 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.

Tensions Rise Among Wanted Men
Dr. Cornelius Evazan
He doesn't like you.
[referring to his partner Pondo Baba]
Luke
I'm sorry.
Evazan
I don't like you, either. So you just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems.
Luke
I'll be careful.
Evazan
You'll be dead!!
[grabs Luke by the arm and gives him a threatening and menacing look]
Obi-Wan
This little one's not worth the effort. Come, let me get you something.
[intervenes and tries to resolve the situation between the two]

The Price of Love and Loyalty

A Call for Help in Desperation
Luke Skywalker
I saw part of the message he was...
Obi-Wan Kenobi
I seem to have found it.
Leia
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.
[in a hologram message; looks to the side quickly, then crouches to end the message]
Luke
Who is she?
Obi-Wan
She is Princess Leia Organa of the Royal House of Alderaan. An Imperial senator. And, unknown to the Empire, a leader of the Rebel Alliance. She has grown into a remarkable young woman. You must learn the ways of the Force if you're to come with me to Alderaan.
[long pause]
Luke
Alderaan?! I'm not going to Alderaan. I've got to get home. It's late; I'm in for it as it is.
Obi-Wan
I need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I'm getting too old for this sort of thing.
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 such a long way from here.
Obi-Wan
That's your uncle talking.
Luke
Oh, boy; my uncle. How am I ever going to explain this?
Obi-Wan
Learn about the Force, Luke.
[pleading]
Luke
Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you're going.
Obi-Wan
You must do what you feel is right, of course.
[resigned]

The Nature of the Force in Star Wars
Obi-Wan Kenobi

Dissolution of the Imperial Senate Announced
Cassio Tagge
And until this battle station is fully operational, we are vulnerable. The Rebel Alliance is too well equipped. They're more dangerous than you realize!
Conan Antonio Motti
Dangerous to your starfleet, Commander. Not to this battle station.
Tagge
The Rebellion will continue to gain a support in the Imperial Senate–
Grand Moff Wilhuff 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.
[walking in with Darth Vader]
Tagge
That's impossible! How will the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy?
Tarkin
The regional governors now have direct control over their territories. Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station.
Tagge
And what of the Rebellion? If the Rebels have obtained a complete technical readout of this station, it is possible — however unlikely — that they might find a weakness and exploit it.
Vader
The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands.
Motti
Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they've obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it.
Vader
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.
Motti
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 ]
[Vader walks toward Motti, then slowly raises his hand; [w:The Hidden Fortress#Influence|hidden fortr––; grasps his throat as if he is being choked]
Vader
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Tarkin
Enough of this. Vader, release him!
Vader
As you wish.
[drops his hand and Motti's head hits the table as he regains his breath]
Tarkin
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 strike.

A New Hope Amidst Galactic Conflict
Opening Crawl
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....

Vader Demands Answers About Death Star Plans
TK-9091
The Death Star plans are not in the main computer.
Darth Vader
Where are those transmissions you intercepted? What have you done with those plans?
Captain Raymus Antilles
We intercepted... no transmissions... this is a consular ship... we're on a diplomatic mission...
[As Vader strangles him]
Vader
If this is a consular ship, where is the ambassador? Commander, tear this ship apart until you've found those plans, and bring me the passengers, I want them alive!
[tosses the now deceased Captain aside, then addresses TK-9091]

Introducing the Millennium Falcon and Its Captain
Han Solo
Han Solo. I'm captain of the ]. Chewie here tells me you're lookin for passage to the Alderaan system?
[[W:Millennium Falcon|''Millennium Falcon'']
Obi-Wan
Yes indeed, if it's a fast ship.
Han
Fast ship? You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?
Obi-Wan
Well, should I have?
Han
It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve ]. 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?
[[W:Parsec|parsecs]
Obi-Wan
Only passengers. Myself, the boy, two droids... and no questions asked.
Han
What is it, some kind of local trouble?
Obi-Wan
Let's just say we'd like to avoid any Imperial entanglements.
Han
Well, that's the real trick, isn't it? And it's gonna cost you something extra. Ten thousand, all in advance.
Luke
Ten thousand?!! We could almost buy our own ship for that!!
[shocked]
Han
But who's gonna fly it, kid? You?
Luke
You bet I could! I'm not such a bad pilot myself! We don't have to sit here and listen to––
Obi-Wan
We can pay you two thousand now, plus fifteen, when we reach Alderaan.
[intervenes and calms Luke down]
Han
Seventeen, huh? Okay, you guys got yourselves a ship. We'll leave as soon as you're ready. Docking Bay 94.
[Obi-Wan nods his head]
Obi-Wan
94.
Han
Looks like somebody's beginning to take an interest in your handiwork.

The Elegance of a Jedi's Weapon
Obi-Wan Kenobi
It's your father's ]. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster, but 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.

Confrontation Between Leia and Darth Vader
Princess Leia Organa
Darth Vader. Only you could be so bold. The Imperial Senate will not sit still for this! When they hear you've attacked a diplomatic–
Vader
Don't act so surprised, Your Highness. You weren't on any mercy mission this time. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.
Leia
I don't know what you're talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan.
Vader
You are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away!
[to the stormtroopers]
Daine Jir
Holding her is dangerous. If word of this gets out, it could generate sympathy for the Rebellion and the Senate.
Vader
I have traced the Rebel spies to her. Now she is my only link to finding their secret base.
Daine Jir
She'll die before she'll tell you anything!
Vader
Leave that to me. In the meantime, send a distress signal. And then inform the Senate that all aboard were killed.
Commander Praji
Lord Vader, the battle station plans are not aboard this ship. And no transmissions were made. An escape pod was jettisoned during the fighting, but no life forms were aboard.
Vader
She must've hidden the plans in the escape pod. Send a detachment down to retrieve them and see to it personally, Commander. There will be no one to stop us this time!
Praji
Yes, sir.

How long have you had these droids?
Luke
About three or four seasons.

Stormtrooper
Let me see your identification.
Obi-Wan
You don't need to see his identification.
Stormtrooper
We don't need to see his identification.
Obi-Wan
These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Stormtrooper
These aren't the droids we're looking for.
Obi-Wan
He can go about his business.
Stormtrooper
You can go about your business.
Obi-Wan
Move along.
Stormtrooper
Move along. Move along.

The Fall of a Promising Jedi
Obi-Wan Kenobi
