My folks made me a Jawa costume for the Halloween after 'Star Wars' opened in '77. In '78, when it was re-released, I was hired by the local cinema to be the Jawa: to dress up all summer long, and I could frighten people with my Jawa sounds and my Ja...
As a kid, I was growing up in an era of celebration of the Civil War centennial, with a lot of 'Lost Cause' emphasis on the Confederacy. I used to play Civil War soldiers with my brothers as a child, and my older brother always insisted that he got t...
Brandy: Nobody ever listens to a teenager. Everybody thinks you should be happy just because you're young. They don't see the wars that we fight every single day. And one day, my war will end. And I won't die. And I will not tolerate abuse from anyon...
Captain Ramius: I miss the peace of fishing like when I was a boy. Forty years I've been at sea. A war at sea. A war with no battles, no monuments... only casualties. I widowed her the day I married her. My wife died while I was at sea, you know.
Senator: The war's over. Our side won the war. Now we must busy ourselves winning the peace. And Fletcher, there's an old saying: To the victors belong the spoils. Fletcher: There's another old saying, Senator: Don't piss down my back and tell me it'...
Han Solo: [cutting open his dead Tauntaun and shoving Luke inside] This may smell bad, kid, but it'll keep you warm until I get the shelter up... Ugh. And I thought they smelled bad on the *outside*.
C-3PO: [Interrupting Han and Leia kissing] Sir. Sir, I've isolated the reverse, power flux coupling. Han Solo: Thank you. Thank you very much. C-3PO: Oh you're perfectly welcome, sir.
Luke: I don't know. I feel like... Yoda: Feel like what? [Luke whips around and pulls out his blaster in defense] Luke: Like we're being watched. Yoda: Away put your weapon. I mean you no harm.
Han Solo: Afraid I was gonna leave without giving you a goodbye kiss? Princess Leia: I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee. Han Solo: I can arrange that. You could use a good kiss.
Darth Vader: Calrissian. Take the princess and the Wookie to my ship. Lando: You said they'd be left at the city under my supervision! Darth Vader: I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.
Han Solo: How ya feeling kid? You don't look so bad to me. You look strong enough to pull the ears off a gundark. Luke: Thanks to you. Han Solo: That's two you owe me junior.
Emperor: The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi. Darth Vader: If he could be turned, he would be a powerful ally. Emperor: Yes. Yes. He would be a great asset. Can it be done? Darth Vader: He will join us or die, my master.
Darth Vader: Yes, Admiral? Admiral Piett: Our ships have sighted the Millennium Falcon, Lord. But it has entered an asteroid field and we can not risk... Darth Vader: [interupting] Asteroids do not concern me, Admiral. I want that ship, not excuses.
C-3PO: [on Han's escape plan] I really don't see how that is going to help! Surrender is a perfectly acceptable alternative in extreme circumstances! The Empire may be gracious enough to... [Han signals to Leia, who shuts 3PO down]
[the asteroid quakes] C-3PO: Sir, it's quite possible this asteroid is not entirely stable. Han Solo: Not entirely stable. I'm glad you're here to tell us these things. Chewie! Take the Professor in back and plug him into the hyperdrive!
C-3PO: [Chewbacca is carrying the dismembered C3PO on his back] If only you'd attached my legs, I wouldn't be in this ridiculous position. Now remember, Chewbacca, you have a responsibility to me, so don't do anything foolish!
Yoda: No more training do you require. Already know you, that which you need. Luke: Then I am a Jedi. Yoda: No. Not yet. One thing remains. Vader. You must confront Vader. Then, only then, a Jedi will you be. And confront him you will.
Admiral Ackbar: The Shield is down! Commence attack on the Death star's main reactor. Lando Calrissian: We're on our way, Red group, Gold group, all fighters follow me. Ha ha ha, I told you they'd do it!
Yoda: Soon will I rest, yes, forever sleep. Earned it I have. Luke: Master Yoda, you can't die. Yoda: Ah, strong am I with the Force, but not that strong. Twilight is upon me, and soon, night must fall. That is the way of things. The way of the Force...
The Emperor: [to Luke] The alliance... will die. As will your friends. Good, I can feel your anger. I am defenseless. Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
Lando Calrissian: Watch yourself Wedge, Three from above! Wedge Antilles: Red Three, Red Two, pull in! Red Two: Got it. Red Two: Three of them coming in, twenty degrees. Wedge Antilles: Cut to the left, I'll take the leader.
