30 Most Memorable Star Wars Quotes
May 29th 2007 03:47
From Geeks Of Doom, this list of the 30 most memorable quotes from the original Star Wars film.
With the 30th anniversary of the film hitting the solar system like a thunderous blizzard, geeks are going nuts offering their tributes to the original groundbreaking film. Some selections:
Yeah, Mark Hamil is short, and it's easy to make fun of him, especially when you find out that he kissed his own sister (Ew.) - but I don't think it's fair to pick on short people. Some of us haven't quite hit our middle-aged growth spurt. Ok?
It didn't seem so bad in the first movie. In fact, as a kid, I loved the idea of kicking around Mos Eisley, especially that wacky cantina. Hell, I'd still like to chill with a long glass of cooled anitfreeze, or whatever they were drinking. Scum and villainy? Hell, I'd bring the scum to that villainous party...
A famous quote, but one that is famously incorrect, as a parsec is a measure of distance. Sounds science-y, but Han Solo was talking out his ass!

22. “Aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?”

17. “Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”

7. “You’ve never heard of the Millennium Falcon? … It’s the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.”

"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"
...and...
Han Solo:
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
...and what about Leia's answer to Luke:
...and....oh man I could go on and on and on and on...

Back in the day, my friends and I played this great drinking game while watching various Star Wars movies. We would take a shot everytime a character had a line that we thought had a "sexual overtone" or "homoerotic overtones." We were always plastered way before the first movie was over. That kind of gives you some insight regarding my friends and I [grins].

But I always loved:
"Laugh it up fuzzball"
"Will someone get this big walking carpet out of my way?"
"You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought."
Yep, could go on and on....

9. “These blast points — too accurate for sandpeople. Only imperial stormtroopers are so precise.”
EVERYBODY know stormtroopers can NEVER hit anything even if they tried, so 'precise' is definitely out of the question for them!!!
