Happy birthday Star Wars

[Uncle Leo]

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was released thirty years ago today. I'm sure plenty of other SZers, like me, would rank this amongst their top ten films of all time. So as a tribute, please post your favourite moment(s) from the films (not necessarily from Episode IV).

A big favourite of mine was in Episode IV, whilst they are in the Death Star trying to rescue Leia:

HAN: (sounding official) Everything is under control. Situation
normal.

INTERCOM VOICE: What happened?

HAN: (getting nervous) Uh...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?

INTERCOM VOICE: We're sending a squad up.

HAN: Uh, uh, negative. We had a reactor leak here now. Give us a few
minutes to lock it down. Large leak...very dangerous.

INTERCOM VOICE: Who is this? What's your operating number?

Han blasts the comlink and it explodes.

HAN: Boring conversation anyway. (yelling down the hall) Luke! We're
going to have company!

Han was a legend :)

DODONNA: The approach will not be easy. You are required to maneuver
straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point. The
target area is only two meters wide. It's a small thermal exhaust
port, right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the
reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should
destroy the station.

A murmer of disbelief runs through the room.

DODONNA: Only a precise hit will set up a chain reaction. The shaft is
ray-shielded, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes.

Luke is sitting next to Wedge Antilles, a hotshot pilot
about sixteen years old.

WEDGE: That's impossible, even for a computer.

LUKE: It's not impossible. I used to bull's-eye womp rats in my
T-sixteen back home. They're not much bigger than two meters.




All my life, I've wanted to bullseye a womp rat in my T16

Han to Chewie; "Well fly casual then" !!!!!!

Lego Star Wars on the PSP is the nuts..Half hour on it and you ARE Luke and you DO have the force!!

 

[Napster]

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.

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

:D

*feels all happy at the thought of Star Wars*

"When I left you, I was but the learner. Now I am the Master."

"Only a Master of Evil, Darth."

Marvellous.

:D

"Apology accepted Captain Needa"

after Needa apologises to Vader for losing the millenium falcon and Vader strangles him with the force....

Also used to like praising people by saying 'Impressive, MOST impressive'...as Vader says to look in Empire Strikes Back when they have their dual...

yes Im sad

 

[Cricko2]

Anything from the Obi ..person he is the one that speaks..


"Who's more foolish the fool, or the one who follows the the fool"

Gold Two: [the Y-wings are running the gauntlet toward the Death Star reactor-port] The guns - they've stopped!
Gold Five: [realizes why] Stabilize your rear deflectors... Watch for enemy fighters.
Gold Leader: They're coming in! Three marks and 2-10!
[Gold Two is slain by Darth Vader and his wingmen; Gold Leader starts to panic]
Gold Leader: It's no good down here, I can't maneuver!
Gold Five: Stay on target.
Gold Leader: *We're too close!*
Gold Five: Stay on target!
Gold Leader: [shouts] Loosen up!
[he too is picked off by Vader and Company; Gold Five tries to escape but is fatally winged]
Gold Five: Gold Five to Red leader, I Lost Tiree, Lost Dutch. They came from... behind!
Gold Five: [crashes]

 

[Desert Shrimper]

I always loved....

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.

Mos Eisely is a hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious

The Sandpeople are easily startled but they will soon be back and in greater numbers

Happy Birthday to it anyway. :/

I loved Star Wars when I was a kid the first 3 were amazing little let down with the latest 3 but still always great to watch.

I love C3PO and R2 D2 :D My favourite characters in the star wars films.

Anyone been on the ride at Disney, always go on it everytime I go.
