It is a period of civil way. Rebel spaceships, striking, from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy…

Obi-Wan: Use the force Luke.

Obi-Wan: Remember, the force will be with you, always.

Obi-Wan: You will never find a more wretched hive of villiany and scum.

Darth Vader: I've been waiting for you Obi-Wan. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete; when I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master.
Obi-Wan: Only a master of evil, Darth.

Han Solo: It's not wise to upset a Wookiee.
C-3P0: But sir, no one worries about upsetting a droid.
Han: That's 'cause a droid don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose, Wookiees are known to do that.

Han: Everything's under control. Situation: normal.
Intercom: What happened?
Han: Had a slight weapons malfunction, but everything's perfectly alright now. We're fine, we're all fine, here now, thank you. How are you?
Intercom: We're sending a squad up.
Han: Negative, negative, we have a reactor leak here, now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak, very dangerous.
Intercom: Who is this? What's your operating number?
Han: Boring conversation anyway. Luke we're gonna have company!

Obi-Wan: Who's the more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows it?

Princess Leia: Aren't you a little short for a Storm Trooper?

Darth Vader: Don't underestimate the force.

C3-PO: Did you hear that? They shut down the main reactor. We’ll be destroyed for sure. This is madness. We’re doomed. There will be no escape for the Princess this time.

Darth Vader: Where are those transmissions you intercepted?

C3-PO: That’s funny the damage doesn’t look as bad as it does from out here.

Princess Leia: Help me Obi-Won Kenobi, you’re my only hope.

Aunt Beau: Where are you going?
Luke: Looks like I’m going nowhere.

Aunt Beau: Luke’s just not a farmer Owen. He has to much of his father in him.
Uncle Owen: That’s what I’m afraid of.

Princess Leia: General Kenobi years ago you served with my father in the clone wars. Now he begs you to help him with the struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father’s request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack and I’m afraid my mission to bring you to Alderian has failed. I have places information vital to the survival of the rebellion into the memory systems in this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delievered to him on Alderian. This is our most desperate hour. Help me Obi-Won Kenobi, you’re my only hope.

Obi-Wan: You must learn the ways of the force.

Han: What an incredible smell you discovered.

C3-PO: Listen to them, they’re all dying.

Princess Leia: Will somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way.

Human: He doesn't like you.
Luke: I'm sorry.
Human: I don't like you either. You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems.
Luke: I'll be careful.
Human: You'll be dead!

Obi-wan: 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: That's your uncle talking.

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

Governor Tarkin: The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away.
Commander: But that's impossible. How will the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy?
Governor Tarkin: The regional governors now have direct control over their territories. Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station.

Obi-Wan: 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.

Han: Han Solo. I'm captain of the Millennium Falcon. Chewie here tells me you're lookin' for passage to the Alderaan system?
Obi-wan: Yes indeed, if it's a fast ship.
Han: Fast ship? You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?

Luke: What a piece of junk!
Han: 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: 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...

Han: Wonderful girl! Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her.

Han: This is not going to work.
Luke: Why didn't you say so before?
Han: I did say so before!

Han: Look, Your Worshipfulness, let's get one thing straight. I take orders from just one person: me!
Princess Leia: It's a wonder you're still alive. [Pushing past Chewbacca.] Will someone get this big walking carpet out of my way?
Han: No reward is worth this!

Princess Leia: You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!

Princess Leia: If money is all you love, then that's what you'll receive.

Luke: So, what do you think of her, Han?
Han: I'm tryin' not to, kid.
Luke: Good.
Han: Still, she's gotta lot of spirit. I don't know, whaddya think? You think a princess and a guy like me--
Luke: No.

Luke: So... you got your reward and you're just leaving then?
Han: That's right, yeah! I got some old debts I've got to pay off with this stuff. Even if I didn't, you don't think I'd be fool enough to stick around here, do you? Why don't you come with us? You're pretty good in a fight. We could use you.

Luke: Come on! Why don't you take a look around? You know what's about to happen, what they're up against. They could use a good pilot like you. You're turning your back on them.
Han: What good's a reward if you ain't around to use it? Besides, attacking that battle station ain't my idea of courage. It's more like suicide.
Luke: All right. Well, take care of yourself, Han. I guess that's what you're best at, isn't it?
Han Solo: Hey, Luke... may the Force be with you. (to chewie) What're you lookin' at? I know what I'm doin'.

Darth Vader: Your powers are weak, old man.
Obi-wan: You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

Officer Cass: Our scout ships have reached Tantooine. They found the remains of a Rebel base, but they estimate that it has been deserted for some time. They are now conducting an extensive search of the surrounding systems.
Governor Tarkin: She lied! She lied to us!
Darth Vader: I told you she would never consciously betray the Rebellion.
Governor Tarkin: Terminate her! Immediately!

Princess Leia: You know, between his howling and you blasting everything in sight, it's a wonder the whole station doesn't know we're here!
Han: Bring 'em on, I'd prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around!

Princess Leia: Your friend is quite a mercenary. I wonder if he really cares about anything... or anybody.
Luke: I care!

Princess Leia: Would it help if I got out and pushed?
Han: It might!

Greedo: Going somewhere, Solo?
Han: Yes Greedo, as a matter of fact I was just going to see your boss. Tell Jabba that I've got his money.
Greedo: It's too late, you should have paid him when you had the chance. Jabba's put a price on your head so large every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you. I'm lucky i found you first.
Han: Yeah, but this time i've got the money.
Greedo: If you give it to me, I might forget I found you.
Han: I don't have it with me, tell Jabbba...
Greedo: ...Jabba's through with you! He has no time for smugglers who drop their shipments at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser.
Han: Even I get boarded sometimes, do you think I had a choice?
Greedo: You can tell that to Jabba, he may only take your ship.
Han: Over my dead body.
Greedo: That's the idea. I've been looking forward to this for a long time.
Han: I'll bet you have.
(Han kills Greedo)

C-3PO: Master Luke, sir. Pardon me for asking, but what should R2 and I do if we're discovered here?
Han: Lock the door, and hope they don't have blasters.
C-3PO: That isn't very reassuring.

Uncle Owen: Have you seen Luke this morning?
Aunt Beru: He said that he had some things to do before he started, so he left early.
Uncle Owen: Did he take those two new droids with him?
Aunt Beru: I think so.
Uncle Owen: Well, he'd better have those units in the South Ridge repaired by midday, or there'll be hell to pay.
