War is a racket. It always has been... A few profit - and the many pay. But there is a way to stop it. You can't end it by disarmament conferences. You can't eliminate it by peace parleys at Geneva. Well-meaning but impractical groups can't wipe it o...
Max: I often thought about him during the war; if only 1900 were here, who knows what he'd do, what he'd say. 'Fuck war' he'd say. But somehow, coming from me, it wasn't the same.
Andre Baptiste Sr.: They say that I am the lord of war, but perhaps it is you. Yuri Orlov: I believe it's "warlord." Andre Baptiste Sr.: Thank you, but I prefer it my way.
[as Luke leaves before completing his training] Yoda: Told you I did. Reckless is he. Now, matters are worse. Obi-Wan: That boy is our last hope. Yoda: No. There is another.
[Han has decided to go searching for Luke] Echo Base Officer: Your Tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker! Han Solo: Then I'll see you in Hell!
[Luke's ship sinks into the mud] Luke: We'll never get it out now! Yoda: So certain are you. Always with you what cannot be done. Hear you nothing that I say?
C-3PO: Don't worry about Master Luke. I'm sure he'll be all right. He's quite clever, you know... for a human being.
Darth Vader: There will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the Millennium Falcon. You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive. No disintegrations. Boba Fett: As you wish.
Darth Vader: Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son.
[in the Asteroid Field] Princess Leia: We're going to get pulverized if we stay out here much longer. Han Solo: I'm not going to argue with that. C-3PO: Pulverized?
[last lines] Lando: Princess, we'll find Han. I promise. Luke: Chewie, I'll be waiting for your signal. Take care, you two. May the force be with you.
Darth Vader: There will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the Millenium Falcon. You are free to use any methods necessary but I want them alive - no disintegrations! Boba Fett: As you wish.
Leia: I thought you knew this person. Chewbacca: [Chewie barks something to Han] Han Solo: Well, that was a long time ago, I'm sure he's forgotten about that.
[Han heads out of the Asteroids toward a Star Destroyer] C-3PO: The odds of successfully surviving an attack on an Imperial Star Destroyer are approximately... Leia: Shut up!
Darth Vader: You may take Captain Solo to Jabba the Hutt after I have Skywalker. Boba Fett: He's no good to me dead. Darth Vader: He will not be permanently damaged.
[igniting Luke's saber] Darth Vader: I see you have constructed a new light saber. Your skills are complete. Indeed you are powerful as the Emperor has foreseen.
Princess Leia: [Leia has been captured by Jabba] We have powerful friends. You're going to regret this. Jabba the Hutt: [in Huttese] I'm sure. [Jabba sticks out his tongue to lick Leia's face]
[inside the Death Star] Lando Calrissian: All right, Wedge. Go for the power regulator on the north tower. Wedge Antilles: Copy, Gold Leader. I'm already on my way out.
Darth Vader: He will come to me? The Emperor: I have foreseen it. His compassion for you will be his undoing. He will come to you and then you will bring him before me. Darth Vader: As you wish.
