Happy Star Wars Day

[filkertom]

Pick a favorite line, any line. Mine? "... She's rich."

(My really favorite line is, "The Force is with you, young Skywalker... but you are not a Jedi yet.")

"I don't know, I can imagine a lot."

[elektra-h.livejournal.com]

"Let the wookie win."

[redaxe.livejournal.com]

Still amused by "I know."

[shsilver.livejournal.com]

The other day, I was discussing with Elaine the fact that the Star Wars trilogy is littered with highly quotable lines. The films Lucas came out with in the late 90s and 00s, don't really have any quotable lines.

And how could you not love the whineline, "But I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!"

[admnaismith.livejournal.com]

"Excitement? Adventure? A Jedi craves not these things."

[darthgm.livejournal.com]

"You are reckless!"

[jewishlink.livejournal.com]

"These blaster marks are too accurate for Sand People, only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise."

I've been picking up the Star Wars Saga Edition RPG books, and noted that only 1 out of every 10 quotes is not from Episodes 4-6

IT'S NOT MY FAULT, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED!

Help! I think I'm melting! This is all your fault!

"There is no try. Do! Or do not!" I use that one on my teenager on a near weekly basis.

You will learn a new definition of suffering as you are slowly digested for a thousand years.

That one always makes me think of the bagel I ate in 1983....

"Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?"

Han Solo, the original Smooth Operator.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.


(I'm really a non-weapons kinda girl, but you know... Han... *sigh*...)

[bald-ruminant.livejournal.com]

"I find your lack of faith disturbing."

[jss]

Which I can no longer see or hear without thinking of the substituted line, "I find your lack of pants disturbing."

[reyl.livejournal.com]

"I've got a bad feeling about this!"

[skunktaur.livejournal.com]

These are not the $something you are looking for.

"That's not a moon, that's a space station!"

[alverant.livejournal.com]

Well the Death Star did look like a small moon with a huge crater. I think there's even a moon in our solar system that could almost pass as the Death Star.

"You'll laugh, you'll cry. You'll kiss five bucks good-bye"

[alverant.livejournal.com]

I don't remember that line. Is it from the critics who saw Phantom Menace?

[lizziecrowe.livejournal.com]

May the 4th be with you.

"She's rich...."

[markiv1111.livejournal.com]

Interesting to note that you and I have the same favorite line. I could just see young Luke growing up for a few seconds, as it dawns on him that other people may very well not be motivated by the things that motivate him. And Luke is also thinking, "Gee. I can be a manipulator and get people to do what I want them to -- but I have to appeal to their real needs, which might not be the same as mine." It struck me as very sneaky, and very impressive.

"Don't get cocky, kid."

And just about anything else Han Solo said.

Favorite character? Do you need to ask?

[r-caton.livejournal.com]

Into the garbage chute, flyboy!



WHat a wonderful smell you've discovered....

[kyril.livejournal.com]

I actually used "What a wonderful smell you've discovered" in a positive way just this week. To someone who had helped me pick out some body wash. Who I'm sure knows the original context.

[misterseth.livejournal.com]

From the original trilogy:
The ability to destroy a planet is INSIGNIFICANT next to the power of the force.
From the new trilogy:
There's ALWAYS a bigger fish.

[shaharazad.livejournal.com]

"I'd rather kiss a wookie!"
"I can arrange that!"

[allisona.livejournal.com]

Your really favorite line is also my really favorite line :).

"When nine hundred years YOU reach, look as good, YOU will not."

Apropos of very little, when my wife's cell phone rings it says, "Mmmmmm! An incoming call you have! Answer it quickly, you should."
