'Star Wars' came out when I was seven. It was so different from anything else, like peeking into the land of Oz. All you wanted to do was see it again and go back and see more of it. That feeling is not easy to reproduce.
I believe that this idea of story or myth or this thing that Joseph Campbell writes about is sort of an inter-connective spiritual force - like The Force in 'Star Wars' - where it doesn't matter where you were raised, or what your background is, ther...
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.
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.
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.
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.
The success that Americans are said to worship is success of a specific sort: accomplished not through hard work, primarily, but through the ingenious angle, the big break. Sit down at a lunch counter, stand back up a star. Invest in a new issue and ...
I've always been more of a nerdy, academic type. I loved 'Star Wars' growing up. I have three older brothers, so they were a big influence on me. We loved 'Danger Mouse,' and we love 'Monty Python'. We loved any kind of British comedy and 'Wallace an...
When I was a child, I thought I was going to be a paleontologist because I loved dinosaurs. I loved monster movies and sci-fi, and then 'Star Wars' came out, and I was completely out of my mind with that, with 'Close Encounters,' and then I thought m...
I just watch movies I like over and over. It seems to be a lot of sci-fi stuff. My favorites are probably - besides the first two 'Alien' films, I watch '2001', I watch 'Star Wars', the first ones, because those actually had a huge effect on me as we...
John Chambers: If you're gonna do a $20 million "Star Wars" rip-off, you need somebody who's a somebody to put their name on it. Somebody respectable. With credits. Who you can trust with classified information. Who'll produce a fake movie. For free.
Reed Rothchild: Have you seen that Star Wars movie? Eddie Adams: Yeah, I've seen it four times. Reed Rothchild: You know, people tell me I kind of look like Han Solo.
Darth Vader: [zeroing in on Luke's fighter] I have you now! [one of Vader's wing-men explodes] Darth Vader: What? Han Solo: YAHOOO! [the Millenium Falcon appears] Tie Fighter pilot: Look out! [Han fires again, the second fighter collides with Vader's...
