[Yoda has just fled a fight against Lord Sidious after losing] Yoda: Into exile, I must go. *Failed*, I have.
Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.
Commander #1: We've analyzed their attack, sir, and there is a danger. Should I have your ship standing by? Governor Tarkin: Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances.
Luke Skywalker: I don't understand how we got by those troops. I thought we were dead. Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded.
Han Solo: Well, you can forget your troubles with those Imperial slugs. I told you I'd outrun 'em. [nobody is listening] Han Solo: Don't everyone thank me at once.
[Darth Vader enters Princess Leia's cell, followed by a sinister looking interrogation droid] Darth Vader: And now, your highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden rebel base...
[Han is chasing some Stormtroopers] Princess Leia Organa: He certainly has courage. Luke Skywalker: What good will it do us if he gets himself killed? Come on. [Luke and Leia run off in the opposite direction]
[last lines] C-3PO: You must repair him! Sir, if any of my circuits or gears will help, I'll gladly donate them. Luke Skywalker: He'll be all right.
As the stars make more and more money - one person gets $12 million, $14 million, $15 million, $20 million - everyone else is expected to work for peanuts. And that includes some extraordinary actors who are, today, working for peanuts because the pr...
Theatre outings are my favourite thing to spend money on. The most influential play I saw was 'Bent,' which starred Ian McKellen. And I loved the original performance of 'The Rocky Horror Show,' with Richard O'Brien and Tim Curry at the Royal Court, ...
Recently I've been collecting Star Wars figures again. When I was a kid I couldn't afford them. Now I can so I've been buying them and keeping them in their box for a later date when they'll be worth a lot of money.
When I was making 'Star Wars,' I wasn't restrained by any kind of science. I simply said, 'I'm going to create a world that's fun and interesting, makes sense, and seems to have a reality to it.'
I wrote the first book, Harvest of Stars, and as I was writing it, I saw that certain implications had barely been touched on... It's perfectly obvious that two completely revolutionary things are going on, with cybernetics, and biological science.
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 our feet.
Flipping through the 'Toronto Star' one day in 2008, I noticed a piece about a phenomenal boxer from the Philippines who had won several different titles in several different weight divisions. Manny Pacquiao's rise from heart-crushing poverty to the ...
I am a geek in terms of, I love 'Close Encounters' and I love 'Star Wars,' but other things... 'Doctor Who,' I don't really care about at all, I couldn't give a fig about it.
Kiefer Sutherland is a crazy jerk on '24,' but you love him because he gets the job done. And I think that that goes for a lot of action stars, I mean Steven Segal is a jerk, but you want to watch him because, eventually, he's a jerk who can beat up ...
I have to admit I've found myself doing the same things that a lot of other rock stars do or are forced to do. Which is not being able to respond to mail, not being able to keep up on current music, and I'm pretty much locked away a lot. The outside ...
Just because you're a star on television doesn't mean that you can be a music phenomenon or an artist. You have to have the material to back it, and it's all about hit songs. I can name you every 'Idol' winner and why they didn't go on to have succes...
I feel like I was hit by all of geek culture at once while I was growing up in the '70s and '80s. Saturday morning cartoons like 'Star Blazers' and 'Robotech.' Live action Japanese shows like 'Ultraman' and 'The Space Giants.'
I like to take risks and do weird things and stuff that's not normal compared to other Hollywood movies. Not stuff that's totally avant garde and daring, but doing stuff that's in other languages and not using stars and using real people - things tha...
