From the very first Star Wars film through to the latest, this incredible film franchise has produced some of the most memorable quotes ever heard. Here are 145 of my favourites.
| Quote | Character | |
| 1 | It’s a trap! | Admiral Ackbar |
| 2 | Someday I will be the most powerful Jedi ever. | Anakin Skywalker |
| 3 | Attachment is forbidden. Possession is forbidden. Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is essential to a Jedi’s life. So you might say, that we are encouraged to love. | Anakin Skywalker |
| 4 | Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1. | C-3P0 |
| 5 | Hello. I don’t believe we have been introduced. R2-D2? A pleasure to meet you. I am C-3PO, Human-Cyborg Relations. | C-3PO |
| 6 | Don’t get technical with me. What mission? What are you talking about? I’ve just about had enough of you. Go that way, you’ll be malfunctioning in a day you near-sighted scrap pile. | C-3PO |
| 7 | Oh, my dear friend. How I’ve missed you. | C-3PO |
| 8 | Don’t call me a mindless philosopher, you overweight glob of grease. | C-3PO |
| 9 | Oh my. Space travel sound rather perilous. I can assure you they will never get me on one of those dreadful Star Ships. | C-3PO |
| 10 | Wait. Oh my! What have you done? I’m backwards. You flea-bitten furball! Only an overgrown mop-head like you would be stupid enough to… | C-3PO |
| 11 | I’m rather embarrassed, General Solo, but it appears that you are to be the main course at a banquet in my honour. | C-3PO |
| 12 | We seem to be made to suffer. It’s our lot in life. | C-3PO |
| 13 | If I do not return, I want you to know that you have been a real friend. | C-3PO |
| 14 | You both make excellent points, at times. | C-3PO |
| 15 | If this mission fails, it was all for nothing. What we’ve done, all this time. | C-3PO |
| 16 | Taking one last look, sir, at my friends. | C-3PO |
| 17 | Might I introduce myself? I am C-3PO, Human Cyborg Relations. And you are? | C-3PO |
| 18 | What a dreadful situation. Is every day like this for you people? Madness. | C-3PO |
| 19 | Every time I walked away from something I wanted to forget, I told myself it was for a cause that I believed in. A cause that was worth it. Without that, we’re lost. | Cassian Andor |
| 20 | The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. | Chancellor Palpatine |
| 21 | I fear nothing. For all is as the Force wills it. | Chirrut Imwe |
| 22 | The strongest stars have hearts of kyber. | Chirrut Imwe |
| 23 | What if I told you that the Republic was now under the control of a Dark Lord of the Sith? | Count Dooku |
| 24 | I sense great fear in you, Skywalker. You have hate. You have anger. But you don’t use them. | Count Dooku |
| 25 | Master Kenobi, you disappoint me. Yoda holds you in such high esteem. Surely you can do better! | Count Dooku |
| 26 | The Sith killed each other, victims of their own greed. But from the ashes of their destruction, I was the last survivor. I chose to pass my knowledge on to only one. I created a legacy so resilient that now you come before me. | Darth Bane |
| 27 | At last, we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last, we will have revenge. | Darth Maul |
| 28 | The Sith took everything from me. Ripped me from my mother’s arms, murdered my brother, used me as a weapon, and then cast me aside. Abandoned me. Once, I had power — now I have nothing. | Darth Maul |
| 29 | Just for once, let me look on you with my own eyes. | Darth Vader |
| 30 | Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son. | Darth Vader |
| 31 | 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. | Darth Vader |
| 32 | I am your father. | Darth Vader |
| 33 | 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 |
| 34 | Search your feelings, you know you to be true. | Darth Vader |
| 35 | Be careful not to choke on your aspirations. | Darth Vader |
| 36 | You already have, Luke. You were right. You were right about me. | Darth Vader |
| 37 | You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander. I am here to put you back on schedule. | Darth Vader |
| 38 | You are unwise to lower your defences! | Darth Vader |
| 39 | He is as clumsy as he is stupid. General, prepare your troops for a surface attack. | Darth Vader |
| 40 | There is no escape! Don’t make me destroy you. Luke, you do not yet realize your importance. You’ve only begun to discover your power! | Darth Vader |
| 41 | Now, young Skywalker, you will die. | Emperor Palpatine |
| 42 | Now, witness the power of this fully operational battle station. | Emperor Palpatine |
| 43 | The Force is strong with you. A powerful Sith you will become. Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth… Vader. | Emperor Palpatine |
| 44 | May the Force be with you. | General Dodonna |
| 45 | You don’t know how hard I found it, signing the order to terminate your life. | Grand Moff Tarkin |
| 46 | It’s the ship that made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs. I’ve outrun Imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers, mind you. I’m talking about the big Corellian ships, now. She’s fast enough for you, old man. | Han Solo |
| 47 | Never tell me the odds! | Han Solo |
| 48 | Chewie, we’re home. | Han Solo |
| 49 | It’s not my fault. | Han Solo |
| 50 | Women always figure out the truth. Always. | Han Solo |
| 51 | Sorry about the mess. | Han Solo |
| 52 | Great, kid. Don’t get cocky. | Han Solo |
| 53 | Travelling through hyperspace isn’t like dusting crops, farm boy. | Han Solo |
| 54 | She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts, kid. | Han Solo |
| 55 | Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid. | Han Solo |
| 56 | Boring conversation anyway. Luke! We’re going to have company! | Han Solo |
| 57 | Laugh it up, fuzzball! | Han Solo |
| 58 | I’ve got a bad feeling about this. | Han Solo |
| 59 | One thing’s for sure, we’re all going to be a lot thinner. | Han Solo |
| 60 | Either shut him up or shut him down! | Han Solo |
| 61 | Great shot kid, that was one in a million. | Han Solo |
| 62 | He’s the brains, sweetheart! | Han Solo |
| 63 | I wouldn’t be nice to you. It doesn’t pay much. | Han Solo |
| 64 | The same thing I always do, talk my way out of it. | Han Solo |
| 65 | I’ve been running scams on the streets since I was ten. I was kicked out of the flight academy for having a mind of my own. I’m going to be a pilot. The best in the galaxy. | Han Solo |
| 66 | I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe. | Jango Fett |
| 67 | The time to fight is now. | Jyn Erso |
| 68 | If we can make it to the ground, we’ll take the next chance. And the next. On and on until we win… or the chances are spent. | Jyn Erso |
| 69 | I’m standing by as you requested, although there’s a problem on the horizon. There’s no horizon. | K-2SO |
| 70 | Let the past die. Kill it if you must. | Kylo Ren |
| 71 | Search your memories. | Kylo Ren |
| 72 | You look beautiful. You truly belong here with us among the clouds. | Lando |
| 73 | Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope. | Leia Organa |
| 74 | Somebody must save our skins. | Leia Organa |
| 75 | Did you come in that thing? You’re braver than I thought. | Leia Organa |
| 76 | Aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper? | Leia Organa |
| 77 | You know, no matter how much we fought, I’ve always hated watching you leave. | Leia Organa |
| 78 | Governor Tarkin, I should’ve expected to find you holding Vader’s leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board. | Leia Organa |
| 79 | Nothing is impossible. | Leia Organa |
| 80 | Never underestimate a droid. | Leia Organa |
| 81 | You’re coming with me. I’ll not leave you here, I’ve got to save you. | Luke Skywalker |
| 82 | I’ll never turn to the dark side. You’ve failed, your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me. | Luke Skywalker |
| 83 | You serve your master well. And you will be rewarded. | Luke Skywalker |
| 84 | If there’s a bright centre to the universe, you’re on the planet that it’s farthest from. | Luke Skywalker |
| 85 | I think I just blasted it. | Luke Skywalker |
| 86 | A Jedi’s weapon deserves more respect. | Luke Skywalker |

| 93 | The Force will be with you. Always. | Obi-Wan Kenobi |
| 94 | If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. | Obi-Wan Kenobi |
| 95 | I have taught you everything I know. And you have become a far greater Jedi than I could ever hope to be. | Obi-Wan Kenobi |
| 96 | In my experience, there is no such thing as luck. | Obi-Wan Kenobi |
| 97 | You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them. You were to bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness. | Obi-Wan Kenobi |
| 98 | That’s no moon. It’s a space station. | Obi-Wan Kenobi |
| 99 | You don’t need to see his identification… These aren’t the droids you’re looking for. | Obi-Wan Kenobi |
| 100 | Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan. Now that’s a name I have not heard in a long time. A long time. | Obi-Wan Kenobi |
| 101 | Your eyes can deceive you. Don’t trust them. | Obi-Wan Kenobi |
| 102 | If you define yourself by your power to take life, your desire to dominate, to possess, then you have nothing. | Obi-Wan Kenobi |
| 103 | Luke, I don’t want to lose you to the Emperor the way I lost Vader. | Obi-Wan Kenobi |
| 104 | Who’s the more foolish: the fool, or the fool who follows him? | Obi-Wan Kenobi |
| 105 | Be mindful of your thoughts Anakin. They’ll betray you. | Obi-Wan Kenobi |
| 106 | A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. | Opening sequence |
| 107 | In a galaxy far far away. | Opening sequence |
| 108 | Anakin, you’re breaking my heart! And you’re going down a path I cannot follow! | Padme Amidala |
| 109 | So this is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause. | Padmé Amidala |
| 110 | Sometimes we must let go of our pride and do what is requested of us. | Padmé Amidala |
| 111 | I can fix this. | Poe Dameron |
| 112 | Twenty-point three gazillion languages, and you can’t read that? | Poe Dameron |
| 113 | Would somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way? | Princess Leia |
| 114 | You do have your moments. Not many, but you have them. | Princess Leia |
| 115 | Someone has to save our skins. | Princess Leia |
| 116 | You don’t have to do this to impress me. | Princess Leia |
| 117 | There’s always a bigger fish. | Qui Gon Jinn |
| 118 | Master Yoda says I should be mindful of the future… but not at the expense of the moment. | Qui Gon Jinn |
| 119 | Your focus determines your reality. | Qui-Gon Jinn |
| 120 | The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. | Qui-Gon Jinn |
| 121 | Something inside me has always been there, but now it’s awake. | Rey |
| 122 | I don’t want to go without your blessing, but I will. | Rey |
| 123 | You can’t stop the change, any more than you can stop the suns from setting. | Shmi Skywalker |

| 125 | Don’t be afraid of who you are. | Sith Rey |
| 126 | When I found you, I saw raw, untamed power, and beyond that, something truly special. | Supreme leader Snoke |
| 127 | Oh no, my young Jedi. You will find that it is you who are mistaken, about a great many things. | The Emperor |
| 128 | Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen. | The Emperor |
| 129 | When gone am I, the last of the Jedi will you be. The Force runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned. | Yoda |
| 130 | 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 |
| 131 | Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose. | Yoda |
| 132 | My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. | Yoda |
| 133 | Do. Or do not. There is no try. | Yoda |
| 134 | Always in motion is the future. | Yoda |
| 135 | Hmph! Adventure. Heh! Excitement. Heh! A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless! | Yoda |
| 136 | Truly wonderful the mind of a child is. | Yoda |
| 137 | When 900 years old, you reach… Look as good, you will not. | Yoda |
| 138 | Ahh, hard to see, the Dark Side is. | Yoda |
| 139 | Much to learn you still have… my old Padawan. | Yoda |
| 140 | Mmm. Lost a planet, Master Obi-Wan has. How embarrassing. | Yoda |
| 141 | Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. | Yoda |
| 142 | Judge me by my size, do you? | Yoda |
| 143 | Your weapon… you will not need it. | Yoda |
| 144 | You will know when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defence, never for attack. | Yoda |
| 145 | When you look at the dark side, careful you must be… for the dark side looks back. | Yoda |
