Ayel: Your species is even weaker than I expected. [chokes Kirk] James T. Kirk: I can't... Ayel: You can't even speak! [Kirk garbles] Ayel: What? James T. Kirk: I got your gun! [shoots Ayel]
C-3PO: Just you reconsider playing that message for him! [R2 beeps a question] C-3PO: No, I don't think he likes you at all. [R2 beeps again] C-3PO: No, I don't like you either.
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.
General Tagge: Until this battle station is fully operational, we are vulnerable. The Rebel Alliance is too well equipped, they're more dangerous than you realize. Admiral Motti: Dangerous to your starfleet, Commander; not to this battle station.
Luke Skywalker: What are you doing hiding back there? C-3PO: It wasn't my fault, sir, please don't deactivate me. I told him not to go, but he's faulty, malfunctioning. Kept babbling on about his mission.
Han Solo: Can't get out that way. Princess Leia Organa: Looks like you've managed to cut off our only escape route. Han Solo: [sarcastic] Maybe you'd like it back in your cell, your Highness.
[C-3PO is tangled up in wires after a run-in with tie fighters] C-3PO: Help! I think I'm melting! This is all your fault! [R2-D2 makes a series of beeps that sound like chuckling]
Luke Skywalker: You know, between his howling and your 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.
Governor Tarkin: Are they away? Darth Vader: They've just made the jump into hyperspace. Governor Tarkin: You're sure the homing beacon is secure aboard their ship? I'm taking an awful risk, Vader. This had better work.
Luke Skywalker: You know, I did feel something. I could almost see the remote. Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: That's good. You have taken your first step into a larger world.
Truman: [to an unseen Christof] Who are you? Christof: [on a speaker] I am the Creator - of a television show that gives hope and joy and inspiration to millions. Truman: Then who am I? Christof: You're the star.
[Jack and Rose break a door while the ship is sinking] Employee: Hey! What do you think you're doing? You'll have to pay for that, you know? That's White Star Line property. Jack, Rose: Shut up!
Duncan: How's the battle going? Peter: [Playing with Star Wars action figures] Luke and Leia are hooking up. Duncan: You know they're brother and sister, right? Peter: Yeah. Duncan: Cool.
Statistically, I'd say comedy writers are perhaps the sanest category of show people. And why not? They make big money, and although it's not an easy trade - particularly when you're at your galley oar five days a week - it's easier on the nerves and...
When I was young, I had a favorite movie star. One day, I saw one of his movies, and it was bad, and he was bad in it. I could tell he didn't care and only did it for the money. I felt betrayed. I never watched another one of his movies again.
I think that George Lucas' 'Star Wars' films are fantastic. What he's done, which I admire, is he has taken all the money and profit from those films and poured it into developing digital sound and surround sound, which we are using today.
I have long believed that celebrity, the way we worship and package and sell our pop stars, is what filled the need for gods that was once filled by the pictures in stained glass. Hollywood is post-Christian Venice - in other words, a pantheon of sai...
There's two tiers of science fiction: the McDonalds sci-fi like Star Trek, where they have an adventure and solve it before the last commercial, and there are books that once you've read, you never look at the world the same way again.
As a child I always steered clear of science fiction, but in the autumn of 1977, the bow-wave of publicity for the first 'Star Wars' movie had already reached me, so I was eager for anything science-fictional.
It cannot be said often enough that science fiction as a genre is incredibly educational - and I'm speaking the written science fiction, not 'Star Trek.' Science fiction writers tend to fill their books if they're clever with little bits of interesti...
Don't you see what's at stake here? The ultimate aim of all science to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about the earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here, right under...
