Princess Leia: The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin,
the more star systems will slip through your fingers.
C-3PO: Listen to them, they're dying, Artoo! Curse my
metal body! I wasn't fast enough! It's all my fault! My
poor master!
[Referring
to Ben Kenobi.] Tarkin: If you're right, he must not be
allowed to escape. Darth Vader: Escape is not his plan.
I must face him. Alone.
[Two stormtroopers are posted near the tractor beam power
terminal.] Stormtrooper: Do you know what's going on? Other
stormtrooper: Maybe it's another drill.
Ben (Obi-wan) Kenobi: That's no moon. It's a space station.
Luke: Listen, I can't get involved! I've got work to do!
It's not that I like the Empire; I hate it! But there's
nothing I can do about it right now. ...It's all such a
long way from here. Obi-Wan Kenobi: That's your uncle talking.
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.
Han Solo: Well, you can forget your troubles with those
Imperial slugs. I told you I'd outrun 'em. [Nobody is listening.]
Don't everyone thank me at once.
Han Solo: Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match
for a good blaster at your side, kid.
Luke Skywalker: I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you.
C-3PO: We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life.
Princess Leia Organa: Help me, Obi-wan Kenobi. You're my
only hope.
Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi: For more than a thousand generations
the Jedi were the guardians of peace and justice in the
galaxy. Before the dark times. Before the Empire.
Luke: How did my father die? Obi-Wan: A young Jedi named
Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to
evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi knights.
He betrayed and murdered your father.
Obi-wan Kenobi: Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find
a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.
Obi-wan Kenobi: The Force can have a strong influence on
a weak mind.
Han Solo: Han Solo. I'm captain of the Millennium Falcon.
Chewie here tells me you're lookin' for passage to the Alderaan
system? Obi-wan Kenobi: Yes indeed, if it's a fast ship.
Han Solo: Fast ship? You've never heard of the Millennium
Falcon?
Luke Skywalker: What a piece of junk! Han Solo: She'll make
point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much but
she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special
modifications myself.
Han Solo: Watch your mouth, kid, or you're gonna find yourself
floating home.
Darth Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Darth Vader: Don't be too proud of this technological terror
you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant
next to the power of the Force.
Darth Vader: I sense something. A presence I've not felt
since...
Obi-wan Kenobi: You must learn the ways of the Force if
you are to come with me to Alderaan.
C-3PO: Don't call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight
glob of grease!
C-3PO: We're doomed!
Han Solo: Wonderful girl! Either I'm going to kill her or
I'm beginning to like her.
Han Solo: Damn fool, I knew you were going to say that.
Obi-wan Kenobi: Who's the more foolish, the fool, or the
fool who follows him?
Han Solo: Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting
crops, boy.
Leia: Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?
Han Solo: Get in there you big furry oaf! I don't care what
you smell!
Han: This is not going to work. Luke: Why didn't you say
so before? Han: I did say so before!
[Princess Leia gets her first look at the Millennium Falcon.]
Princess Leia: You came in that thing? You're braver than
I thought!
[Luke blows up his first TIE fighter.] Luke Skywalker: Got
'im! I got 'im! Han Solo: Great, kid! Don't get cocky!
Princess Leia Organa: If money is all you love, then that's
what you'll receive.
[After a successful rescue of Princess Leia.] Luke Skywalker:
So, what do you think of her, Han? Han Solo: I'm tryin'
not to, kid. Luke Skywalker: [sotto voce] Good. Han Solo:
[baiting him] Still, she's gotta lot of spirit. I don't
know, whaddya think? You think a princess and a guy like
me-- Luke Skywalker: [quickly] No.
