I see lots of cycles, for sure. There's the whole post-Star Wars era, but I don't think it's the whole story.
[first title card] Title Card/Crawl: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... Title Card/Crawl: War. The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. In a stunning...
Luke: There's something not right here... I feel cold. Death. Yoda: [points to a cave opening beneath a large tree] That place... is strong with the dark side of the Force. A domain of evil it is. In you must go. Luke: What's in there? Yoda: Only wha...
C-3PO: Oh. They've encased him in Carbonite. He should be quite well protected. If he survived the freezing process, that is. Darth Vader: Well, Calrissian, did he survive? Lando: Yes, he's alive, and in perfect hibernation. Darth Vader: He's all you...
Lando: What are you doing here? Han Solo: Ah, repairs. I was hoping you could help me out. Lando: What have you done to my ship? Han Solo: YOUR ship? Hey, remember you lost her to me, fair and square.
[trying to fix the hyperdrive] Han Solo: Horizontal boosters. Alluvial dampers? Ow! That's not it, bring me the Hydrospanner. I don't know how we're going to get out of this one. [the ship is hit, causing the tool box to fall on Han] Han Solo: OW! Ch...
General Rieekan: I don't think we can protect two transports at a time. Princess Leia: It's risky but we can't hold out much longer. We have no choice. General Rieekan: Launch patrols. Princess Leia: Evacuate remaining ground staff.
C-3PO: That sounds like an R2 unit in there! I wonder if... Hello? How interesting. Stormtrooper: Who are you? C-3PO: Oh, my! I... I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to intrude. No, please don't get up. [the Stormtrooper shoots C-3PO]
Luke: Your thoughts betray you, Father. I feel the good in you, the conflict. Darth Vader: There is no conflict. Luke: You couldn't bring yourself to kill me before and I don't believe you'll destroy me now. Darth Vader: You underestimate the power o...
Yoda: That face you make... look I so old to young eyes? Luke: No. Of course not. Yoda: I do. Yes, I do. Sick have I become, old and weak... When nine hundred years old *you* reach, look as good *you* will not, hmm?
Han Solo: I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big light blur. Luke: There's nothing to see. I used to live here, you know. Han Solo: You're going to die here, you know. Convenient.
Luke: Vader's on that ship. Han Solo: Now don't get jittery, Luke. There are a lot of command ships. Keep your distance, though, Chewie, but don't *look* like you're trying to keeping your distance. [Chewie barks a question] Han Solo: *I* don't know....
Luke: Soon I'll be dead, and you with me. The Emperor: [laughing] Perhaps you refer to the imminent attack of your rebel fleet? Yes, I assure you, we are quite safe from your friends here. Luke: Your overconfidence is your weakness. The Emperor: Your...
Moff Jerjerrod: The Emperor's coming here? Darth Vader: That is correct, Commander. And, he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress. Moff Jerjerrod: We shall double our efforts. Darth Vader: I hope so, Commander, for your sake. The Emp...
Luke: Search your feelings, Father, you can't do this. I feel the conflict within you. Let go of your hate. Darth Vader: It is too late for me, son. The Emperor will show you the true nature of the Force. He is your master now. Luke: Then my father i...
[Referring to Vader] Princess Leia: But, why must you confront him? Luke: Because, there is good in him. I've felt it. He won't turn me over to the Emperor. I can save him. I can turn him back to the good side. I have to try.
Darth Vader: The Emperor has been expecting you. Luke: I know, father. Darth Vader: So, you have accepted the truth? Luke: I have accepted that you were once Anakin Skywalker, my father. Darth Vader: [angrily] That name no longer has any meaning for ...
Han Solo: [flying across the deserts of Tatooine] I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big bright blur. Luke: There's nothing to see. I used to live here, you know. Han Solo: You're gonna die here, you know. Conveni...
Han Solo: [as Lando is being dragged down by Sarlaac] Chewie, give me the gun! Don't move, Lando! Lando Calrissian: No, wait! I thought you were blind! Han Solo: It's alright, I can see a lot better! Don't move! Lando Calrissian: Up a little higher! ...
General Madine: We have stolen a small Imperial shuttle. Disguised as a cargo ship, and using a secret Imperial code, a strike team will land on the moon and deactivate the shield generator. C-3PO: It sounds dangerous. Princess Leia: [to Han] Who hav...
The Emperor: I'm looking forward to completing your training. In time you will call *me* master. Luke: You're gravely mistaken. You won't convert me as you did my father. The Emperor: Oh no, my young Jedi. You will find that it is you who are mistake...
