Star Wars (1997) - Quotes

Han Solo: [[W:Millennium Falcon|''Millennium Falcon''] Han Solo. I'm captain of the ]. Chewie here tells me you're lookin for passage to the Alderaan system?

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: [[W:Parsec|parsecs] 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?

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: [shocked] Ten thousand?!! We could almost buy our own ship for that!!

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: [intervenes and calms Luke down] We can pay you two thousand now, plus fifteen, when we reach Alderaan.

Han: [Obi-Wan nods his head] Seventeen, huh? Okay, you guys got yourselves a ship. We'll leave as soon as you're ready. Docking Bay 94.

Obi-Wan: 94.

Han: [looks up and sees some Imperial stormtroopers entering the Cantina] Looks like somebody's beginning to take an interest in your handiwork.

Dr. Cornelius Evazan: [referring to his partner Pondo Baba] He doesn't like you.

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: [grabs Luke by the arm and gives him a threatening and menacing look] You'll be dead!!

Obi-Wan: [intervenes and tries to resolve the situation between the two] This little one's not worth the effort. Come, let me get you something.

Stormtrooper: How long have you had these droids?

Luke: About three or four seasons.

Obi-Wan: They're up for sale, if you want them.

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.

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.

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: [walking in with Darth Vader] 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.

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: [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] 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: I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Tarkin: Enough of this. Vader, release him!

Vader: [drops his hand and Motti's head hits the table as he regains his breath] As you wish.

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.

Luke Skywalker: I saw part of the message he was...

Obi-Wan Kenobi: I seem to have found it.

Leia: [in a hologram message; looks to the side quickly, then crouches to end the message] 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.

Luke: Who is she?

Obi-Wan: [long pause] 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.

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: [pleading] Learn about the Force, Luke.

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: [resigned] You must do what you feel is right, of course.

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: [to the stormtroopers] You are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away!

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.

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: [As Vader strangles him] We intercepted... no transmissions... this is a consular ship... we're on a diplomatic mission...

Vader: [tosses the now deceased Captain aside, then addresses TK-9091] 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!

Han Solo: [[w:AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes|American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations] *Note: ranked #6 in the ] in American cinema.

Han Solo: May the Force be with you.

Han Solo: [to Chewbacca, after the group is trapped in a garbage disposal center] That garbage chute was a really wonderful idea! What an incredible smell you’ve discovered!

Han Solo: 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 Leia Organa: [to Han Solo; to Luke Skywalker; [mercenary; [Worry|cares] You needn't worry about your reward. If money is all that you love, then that's what you'll receive. Your friend is quite a ]. I wonder if he really ] about anything... or anybody.

Princess Leia Organa: [to Luke, in disguise] Aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?

Darth Vader: The Force is strong with this one.

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

Darth Vader: And now, Your Highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden Rebel base.

Darth Vader: You are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away!

C-3PO: We’re doomed!

C-3PO: We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life.

Luke Skywalker: I have a very bad feeling about this.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [Seeing the Death Star] That's no moon. It's a space station.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: 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.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [[W:lightsaber|lightsaber] 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.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Use the Force, Luke.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Who's the more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows him?

Obi-Wan Kenobi: [after the Death Star has destroyed Alderaan] 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.

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: Well, the Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It is an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.

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....
