Revenge of the Sith
 |
I mean Emperor Palpatine |
I'm going to see Revenge of the Sith tonight, and yes, I am very excited about it. The Star Wars movies have been a part of my life since I can remember and it is actually kind of sad to think this will be the end. So, in honor of my viewing of the final episode tonight I thought I would produce a list of my favorite Star Wars quotes of all time. Feel free to add your own if you think I've missed any, which is highly probable. You'll note, though, that I don't have any quotes from Episode I or Episode II. Besides the Yoda/Dooku light saber duel, I am of the opinion that these movies never happened. Do you hear me? THEY NEVER HAPPENED! On with the quotes:
- "You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon? It's the ship that made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs." -- Han Solo
Yes! The infamous Kessel run. As you probably know, an average ship can only make this run in 14-15 parsecs. But the Millenium Falcon? 12 parsecs!! Amazing! - "Laugh it up, fuzzball." -- Han Solo
I don't know why, I just get a kick out of some of Solo's one liners, especially this one. - I find your lack of faith disturbing." -- Darth Vader
Speaking of one liners, Vader was full of them. I also like "You are a part of the rebel alliance and a traitor." There has never been a better movie villain. - "Oh, I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive." -- Emperor Palpatine
Can you just hear him saying this? With all his slobbery derision? Fantastic. - "Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder!" -- Princess Leia
By far her best quote. Do you remember Solo's response? "Who's scruffy looking?" Great stuff. - "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -- Yoda
Great advice for any would be Jedis and also great advice in general. Who hasn't used this in a meeting or with your own kids? I know I have. - "When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not. Hmm?" -- Yoda
So true. If I was 900 years old I would look pretty nasty. - "But I was going into Toshi Station to pick up some power converters!" -- Luke Skywalker
My favorite Star Wars quote. I just think it is hilarious. The whine. The pout. It is all there. It doesn't get any better. And the Academy Award goes to Mark Hamill!!!
So there you have it. You can try to argue, but it would be pointless. The Greet Machine has spoken. And if you are going to the St. Louis Park Mann theater tonight to see the movie and you see a short, bald man with a dark complexion dressed like Obi-Wan Kenobi ... well, that's not me. But I will be there!

Comments
I can't argue with the choices...only add some others for consideration:
"We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life." - C-3PO, A New Hope
Any Vikings fan can relate...can he not!?!?
"I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board." - Princess Leia, A New Hope
Can be used whenever you find yourself near to a Packer fan.
"Will somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way!?" - Princess Leia, A New Hope
Classic camp.
"Would it help if I got out and pushed?" - Princess Leia, The Empire Strikes Back
Spoken for married men everywhere.
"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you." - Yoda, The Phantom Menace
There was good in the newer movies!
"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?" - Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back
Yoda was really speaking to a prostitute.
"No, I am your father!" - Darth Vader, The Empire Strikes Back
How can anyone leave out THAT line in a Best Of!?!?!
"What an incredible smell you've discovered!" - Han Solo, A New Hope
Again, see reference to Packers fans.
"Great kid! Don't get cocky." - Han Solo, A New Hope
Probably my all-time favorite.

What is this parsec gibberish? Last I looked a parsec was a unit of distance, not time or speed. I think good science fiction should keep its science straight.

Parsec is a unit of distance. The Maw Cluster (A group of black holes) lays right in the path of the Kessel Run. Smugglers are forced to go around it. Most tend to be safe and travel a ways away from it, creating a longer distance, however, Han dared to fly very close around the circumferance, totalling less distance.
He managed to shave off 2 parsecs of distance from the normal smuggler.

I want to know why Emperor Palpatine's ghost didn't appear at the end of "Return of the Jedi" and same with Qui-Gonn Jinn's ghost. Everyone else came back as ghosts, even Anakin, but those two...
Someone tell me what's going on pleeese!

"At las we will reveal ourselves to the jedi, at last we will have revenge"-Darth Maul, Phantom Menece.
Maul's most famous line. Actually it's his only line.
