Top 10 Star Wars Quotes Countdown

are listening to the Geekcast Radio Network.

Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has

not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes.

I've given you clairvoyance enough to find the

rebels hidden fort. I find your lack of faith

disturbing. Mars, Iceland, spaceport. You will

never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

We must be cautious. I have a bad feeling about

this. I've got a bad feeling about this. No,

I have a bad feeling about this. I have a very

bad feeling about this. I got a bad feeling about

this. I have a bad feeling about this. Bart,

I have a bad feeling about this. I have a really

bad feeling about this. Hello and welcome to

Geekcast radio special episodes getting ready

for Star Wars as we have been at the website

here going through the month of December getting

ready for the release and We're gonna continue

our top 10 countdowns and today we're switching

it up and we're gonna do a different topic and

different group of people here so we're talking

about quotes or moments of dialogue and It's

a lot to cover just looking at six movies, and

to help me along with that project, returning

Mr. Fridley Cent. Hello. Hello. Long time no

talk. Yeah. I... illustrious. Illustrious? I'm

elusive. That's the one I am. Yes, that's better.

I'm bold. But I mean, who better to be on this

record than yourself and your vast knowledge

of the Star Wars universe, correct? Uh, yeah.

In fact, when you texted me to say, hey, we're

doing the top ten lists of the Star Wars films,

I was like, all nine? Because there are nine

Star Wars films that people don't recognize three

of them. Right. But yeah, I mean, you have a

great knowledge of not just the films, but of...

all things Star Wars, whether it be books or

the TV series, comic books, toys. I mean, you

know a little bit of just about every arena of

Star Wars, correct? Yeah, yeah. It's been my

number one devotion since I was like five. Right.

So I think we're going to get some interesting

quotes here because as you and I were discussing

off air, for people like... Like you, myself,

and all the legions of Star Wars fans, you could

easily come up with a top 10 list for every single

film, probably. Yeah, easy. I mean, it would

be a tiny bit harder maybe in one or two of the

films. But some of these films are just treasure

troves of great quotes, great moments when it

comes to the dialogue. So I'm very interested

to see where we go with this. And actually, when

I was compiling mine, I was surprised with which

films and I ended up with the most quotes from

and kind of to bounce off that. Did you have

any criteria or anything that you were kind of

giving more as you're trying to narrow this focus

down and only land on 10? Did you use anything

to help you out? There are two things I tried

to keep in mind. One, I didn't... Well, I guess

there's three. The first one is it can't all

be Han Solo. Because seriously, Han Solo usually

has the best lines in any scene. Like, that was

in the back of the mind. I wanted to give credence

to all of the movies. I did end up with at least

one from every movie. And I didn't wanna go with

just the most obvious ones, right? Like, you

don't wanna have, I don't even wanna throw them

out there in case you have them. But I mean,

there are some of them that are probably overdone.

And some of them that are too, I don't know,

general, like half said by half the cast. But

maybe that's the thing you wanna do, I don't

know. Well, I kind of try to do that. I'm gonna

have some of those maybe on there. I guess they

always call it like the little memorialist. So

it's the may the force be with you memorialist

for me. I'm not gonna that's too obvious for

me. But I'm gonna have a little bit of a mixture

in mind. There's gonna be some obvious ones,

but I tried to get some that were a little bit

more off the beaten path. But man, some of them

are just so iconic with what they make you feel

and what they make you think about when you hear

it that it's hard to avoid it. I did try to be

like you. I tried to, as much as I could, to

get a quote from every film. I do have one film

that I don't have a quote from, but I have the

rest of them represented, so that was the best

I could do. But I also tried to get a variety

of characters, for the most part, because it

was, like you said, with Han Solo, you could

almost say the same thing with Yoda. You could

have 10 Yoda quotes easily on this list, so I

tried to get a few other voices heard from as

best as I could. Anything else we want to get

out of the way before we get to our number 10?

No? All right. Well, I will start off and we'll

kind of just bounce back and forth. That way

you can give your final reveal at the end of

the number one go last. But for my number 10,

I guess I just contradicted myself in a way because

I said I don't want to do all Yoda quotes and

I'm going to start with one. But it's one that

I don't think is his most famous quote and I

don't think it's one that comes to everybody's

mind first. I think there's probably three or

four that you would get to before this one. But

the Yoda quote I'm talking about comes from episode

three. Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice

for those around you who transform into the Force.

Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment

leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed, that

is. What must I do, Master Yoda? Train yourself

to let go of everything you fear to lose. So

this quote just kind of hit me for a couple different

things. I mean obviously Yoda says a lot of kind

of deep and impactful things that are supposed

to resonate especially in his different conversations

with both Luke in the original trilogy as well

with a few with like Obi -Wan and Anakin kind

of in the prequel trilogy and this one obviously

talking to Anakin but something about just that

whole idea of dealing with group because we've

talked you know he talks about fear and anger

and all that other stuff and some of the more

classic ones but in this one he kind of touched

directly with Grief and death and mourning and

for some reason it just hit me a little bit more

It resonated a little bit more with me, especially

that last part with train yourself to let go

of everything you fear to lose Which is just

something that would be Like super hard for anybody

to do So I don't know what your thoughts of that

little moment in episode 3 were but it just kind

of was a more kind of subtle One of Yoda's like

words of wisdom that kind of stuck with me It

really shows just how impossible it is to be

a Jedi Like it's it's literally a lifelong pursuit

that almost everyone fails at Yeah, I mean just

just that last line just trying to wrap your

head around what he's saying. It's like what?

That's almost a complete contradiction of what

you're asking me to do but hey, it's Yoda and

There's never been anybody wiser in the world

of Star Wars. I don't think so Where do you go

with your number ten? My number 10 is one that

I don't know. I think it's it's probably the

weakest one. That's why it's my number 10 but

of all of the lines in Episode 3 it was the one

that stuck with me probably the most which is

when Padme says So this is how liberty dies With

thunderous applause And we were going through

some political stuff back then When that first

hit and I know a lot of people were quoting that

and saying, you know like quoting that in news

reports and stuff about various things like the

right and like, you know Like that kind of spoils

a little bit, but at the same time, it's a great

line I think it's another one and I'm gonna save

some thoughts on this possibly for later, but

but Yeah, this is another one that kind of fits

with mine a little bit, even more to a greater

extent because it's of the subtlety. It's just

kind of that it's almost like a throwaway line,

but it so isn't. Yeah, yeah. It speaks to like

just volumes of what's to come in the Star Wars

universe that the characters may not know, but

we all do know. No, that is for sure a great

choice that I agree with 100 percent. For my

number nine I will jump into the original trilogy

and hey I had to try to find a way to get some

type of stormtrooper quote involved and this

is the only way I can seem to think that that

would work. It's also a way to get Obi -Wan Kenobi

and I think everybody knows where I'm going with

this one. We don't need to see his identification.

These aren't the droids you're looking for. These

aren't the droids we're looking for. You can

go about his business. You can go about your

business. Move along. Move along. Move along.

For people that saw the original trilogy first

not obviously for people that see the the prequel

trilogy and then kind of grow up in reverse order

but for us that saw it in the order of Chronological

release this is one of the first times where

we really see the power of the Jedi mind trick

just used on unsuspecting people and I just remember

as a kid when I saw this not not only was it

funny And it has a sense of humor to it, but

it was like, wow, he's capable of basically getting

anybody to do anything he wants up to a certain

extent. And it just was an eye -opening moment

as you go through that trilogy and kind of just

seeing what exactly being a Jedi consists of.

So I always kind of just like that little, even

though it's been used a billion different times

and parodied and... you know, that type of thing.

I do think it's more than just a funny exchange.

It means a little bit more to what a Jedi means

overall. What about you? What do you think about

that one? It's interesting. You talked about

it being parodied, and I think the first time

it's used in the prequel trilogy is when Qui

-Gon tries to do the T 'Wado, and he's like,

that doesn't work on me. And so, like, they even

parodied it itself, in itself. But it's... a

fear that a lot of people have, like in the beginning

of episode one, Newt Gunray's like, we can't

let them get to the bridge, they'll just change

our minds with their Jedi powers. So for the

people that are aware of the Jedi, it's a big

fear. And it's kind of a terrifying thought,

it's a good thing the Jedi are positive and Sith

are not high in number. Right, but I think it

also kind of has some maybe thematic elements

to it as well, it's kind of just the building

of this idea of a Jedi or the idea of a wiser

group of people, a more intelligent section of

the population, and how they can have the ability

to somewhat manipulate those that aren't strong

enough to kind of combat with that. So, I mean,

I think you can kind of, if you want to go deep

with it, you can kind of look at that angle,

too. Well, I mean, that's the whole prequel trilogy

is Palpatine manipulating people. And yeah, and

he's clearly seen as the wise old man the whole

time. Yep. All right, where do you go for your

number nine, sir? My number nine is one that

I don't know. I wanted to put it in because it's

one of my favorite quotes. It's kind of a joke.

Everyone kind of mocks it. And it's also, I think,

my last episode 3 -1, which was during the final

fight when Obi -Wan says... Only a Sith deals

in absolutes. Just dealing out a big heavy absolute

there, right? Like I find that it's one of those

things where it's like Was it done on accident?

Was it just like this is a dumb line, but we

need to have this out there You know, he's like

is it a moment of passion? Or is it to show that

no one is a hundred percent good like even obi

-wan Says that this is a thing of the dark side,

but I'm doing it, too I don't know. Is it a deep,

meaningful line? Is it a joke? I don't know.

I like it. Yeah, I like the line, too. I guess

I never really necessarily saw it as a joke,

but maybe... I don't know. It's a line that's

in the midst of a lot of other dialogue pieces

that really, for me, make that last 30 to 45

minutes of episode 3 pretty memorable and more

on par with... the original trilogy for me. It's

kind of that half of the film that really connects

to those. Obviously there's a lot of visual cues

to the original trilogy. But I think just even

with some of the writing, it kind of goes back

to that. And there's just a lot of quotable moments

in those last 30 to 45 minutes, whether you're

talking about the interchange between Obi -Wan

and Anakin, or when Yoda and the Emperor are

having some interchange. I think there's a lot

of good stuff there in that last part of that

film. All right. For my number eight, I am kind

of going classic again. straight back to where

I was last time sticking to episode four and

that is a quote that comes from Darth Vader but

again just like my last one also does involve

old Ben and that's obviously when they have their

confrontation and you hear Darth Vader say I've

been waiting for you Obi -Wan we meet again at

last Maybe not the best line for a lot of people,

but I just like the whole idea, especially after

seeing the prequel trilogy, of seeing these two

individuals face to face again. And it means

a lot more after the prequels. It was a good

line in and of itself just to begin with and

you kind of get the sense you know that they

had a past but you didn't really see it until

you got to see especially what happens in episode

three and I just kind of like that whole full

circle moment and how Darth Vader kind of goes

with that and then of course old Ben being the

wise person himself always has the comeback just

like the quote you were talking about back in

episode three. It's just immediately, Kenobi

is right there with the retort, I guess. So I

just kind of, I liked that meeting of the minds

after so long being apart. Yeah, I don't know,

that line, just hearing it sends a shiver down

my spine. Like it's like one of the most iconic

moments in a series of iconic moments. in a franchise

of iconic moments. But yeah, the circle is complete.

Obviously, we hear that all the time. It's even

in the intro for talking in circles. So there,

I made a shout out for you, Dan. What about your

number eight, Matt? My number eight... One of

the obvious choices, Han Solo Empire Tracks Back.

I don't know, this was my latest addition to

the list. I was like, you know what, I need to

have at least one of those. I guess two. It's

so Han Solo. It's so everyone though because

that's that's like from the very beginning just

like, you know, oh, it's only three meters Yeah,

I could shoot a rat. I did that before like it's

just like always these the lead characters and

any of the Star Wars movies like have hubris

to them That they just they don't need you to

tell them odds. They're gonna just do it And

this is one of the ones that made my first draft

too, and another thing about this one is that

it's only two lines, but in two lines, one of

them tells you everything you need to know about

C3PO, and the other one tells you everything

you need to know about Han Solo. For sure. So,

I mean it's just a... a very effective line and

a very efficient line so you get the you know

the technical jargon from C3PO trying to tell

the odds and then of course Han Solo's retort

so I think it's a great encapsulating moment

for those two and it was real close to making

my list so I'm definitely in agreement with that

one. For my number seven I'm gonna go back to

episode three I guess we're spending a lot of

time there and this one's a rather simple one

I did not actually think about this one Making

my list at all until I was kind of going through

the last time and I I thought about the impact

it had when I heard it and Just the gut feeling

that you get when you hear that and then when

you associate with with what happens next after

it and it's simply the Emperor and it's very

short line The time has come Execute order 66

Hmm and man it would just especially after you've

seen the film going back and rewatching that

every time you hear that you're just like This

is going down a very bad path right now and I'm

gonna see a bunch of stuff that I don't want

to see because nobody wants to see Jedi die and

Just the ominous feeling of such a short and

abrupt order It's a line that um seems innocuous

but has a resonance and a meaning to and like

you could say that to almost anyone on the streets

and they'll know exactly what you mean right

and that's saying something coming from the last

movie to come out um of course barring the clone

wars cartoon um that like a lot of people didn't

even see like the the viewership for episode

three was a massive drop off after the first

two but still it has that impact everywhere and

it wasn't just like you know even though it's

the same line it wasn't just like comparable

to saying you know destroy that planet or shoot

that thing or fire or you know it was so there's

so many different levels in the fact that you

have to see I don't know how many times my trivia

is a little bit rusty I don't know how many times

that's repeated in that film yeah but you know

it's at least five or six times that you get

to hear it over and over and over again and then

immediately watch disaster happen, so it definitely

leaves an impact for me. What about your number

seven? My number seven. My number seven is probably

a line that most people don't even remember,

but it's right after Han Solo becomes unfrozen

from carbonite, and he meets up with Chewbacca,

and Chewbacca informs him on what's going on,

and he's like, woof! looks crazy he can't even

take care of himself much less rescue anybody

a jedi knife i'm out of it for a little while

everybody gets illusions of grandeur i love that

line it's such a great line like yeah and it

just like i the whole job of the hot scene where

it's just like, okay, let's try this, that didn't

work, let's try this, that didn't work, let's

try this. It's so great of just foibling their

way through it, how much of it was planned, how

much of it didn't go as planned. Maybe it was

what they wanted to happen the whole time. I

don't think it was. Yeah, I love that line. I

love the delivery of the line, the context of

it, and again, Han Solo has so many great lines,

and that is definitely one I... strongly considered.

So great pick there. I'm going to stay with Han

Solo for my number six. And this one probably

would not make anybody's list of like actual

like deep or thematic or impactful lines or quotes.

It's just funny. And for some reason, out of

all of the quotable lines in this franchise,

somehow I quote this one more than any other

one. And I don't quite know why my mind does

that, but It's very simple, and it's just, again,

him and Chewie talking, I guess. I don't know

why, but I say that, like, once a month, at least.

Well, you got bearded friends. And sometimes

it's completely not even doesn't even match up

with who I'm saying it to or what but it's just

always in my head like Anytime I hear somebody

laugh. I want to say that I don't know. I just

it's just a personal favorite It's probably not

as good good as any of the other quotes being

discussed today But because I like it so much

I had to put it on here. I got one like that

All right, where are you going for your number

six my number six? Obi -wan, I realize it's like

my list is like Two -thirds Obi -Wan and Han

Solo. Um, episode four. He's more machine than

man, twisted and evil. And I like that second

bit, like you always get the more machine, you

actually get more machine than man now, but it's

really more machine now than man, twisted and

evil. The twisted and evil part, um, I see there's

a lot of weird bits, um, you know. Star Wars

is huge worldwide and so everyone's got their

own little fan theories and had cannons and all

that right But one thing that someone has systematically

pointed out to me in the past was that there's

a deep -seated bigotry against droids and robots

and Star Wars and the idea of Obi -Wan Like saying,

you know, he's more machine and he's twisted

and he's evil like it almost is like he's twisted

evil because he's a machine right No, I can see

that. I mean, it's not there, it's not authorial

intent, as an English professor would say, but,

I mean, it helps make the case. And I don't know,

it's just, it's a solid line, where it's like,

yeah, this guy, you know, he was a Jedi Knight,

and now he's mostly robot, and he's evil, and

he's, you know, like, vice president. Yeah, but

also it's, you know, kind of just really symbolizing

that disconnect and the fact that... Because

of that he's it's like that Jedi is dead, you

know, there's nothing left of it whether there

is or not it's just Giving you that complete

disconnect in that line. So Yeah, I like that

one too for my number five. I'm gonna go completely

obvious This is one of my obvious ones. It's

on probably everybody's list. So I apologize

for being unoriginal, but again for me, this

is probably the number one most telling Line

or you know, I know we talked about the odds

one and how that says a lot about Han Solo But

I don't think any line tells you more about what

you need to know about Han Solo than His line

in response to Princess Leia saying I love you

I love you Like, who else? Who else in, like,

even in cinematic history outside of Han Solo

would say that? What's great is that, like, that's,

as far as I know, that's, like, one of the earliest

ad -libbed lines that got left in. Like, that's

what everyone points to when they go, this is

what good ad -libbing from a good actor does.

And it is perfect. It's just just so tells you

everything you need to know about Han Solo's

personality and It's just I don't know and and

as someone who doesn't necessarily love Princess

Leia I I find it even more rewarding for myself

Wow, but I absolutely love Princess Leia personally,

but I think most people do I think yeah, I think

that's pretty common but I love and see that's

an empire but in Return of the Jedi a lot of

people gloss over the fact that they have the

same exchange but in reverse when they're busting

into the bunker and she's injured and like they

get they about to get captured for like the third

time and she pulls she shows them that he she

still has a gun and then they they have that

same exchange in reverse which I thought was

a great echoing of the previous gray line yeah

All right, what is your number five Matt my number

five? Is a whole dialogue I mean, I'm not gonna

I'm not gonna give you all of it But it's when

Anakin is first getting inspected by Yoda in

front of the Jedi Council Here is the path to

the dark side Fear leads to anger anger leads

to hate hate Leads to suffering. I think that

whole exchange where it's like you need to be

mindful like You know, we can tell that you're

afraid. You need to express that, you know, try

not to hide. Like, just the whole exchange, I

think. I mean, one, it speaks loads about Anakin,

but it also shows you, I don't know, a lot about

the Jedi and exactly where they're coming from

and why they don't want this older kid to be

trained. Right. I don't know, I really like that

bit. No, and then it is I'm glad you're talking

about the whole bit too because it would be easy

to just say You know the fear part and and the

kind of iconic Moment that Yoda has with that,

but it is much more than that. There's a lot

more things that are said in that That set piece

that that dialogue exchange that are just as

equally telling or just as equally impactful

about What like you're saying what Jedi stand

for but also? When you have the backdrop of knowing

what's gonna happen to Anakin It's almost that

much more gut -wrenching because you're like

you're hearing everything right now That would

have saved you Because you're gonna go and break

every single one of these pieces of advice that

Yoda's giving you and It just makes it kind of

hard to like, you know, it's almost like you

want to like reach through the screen and be

like no listen to what he's saying right now

like really pay attention because you're not

good at this but yeah i definitely agree with

that one it's amazing how different it would

have been if we had just gotten a linear six

movies like it's yeah the prequel trilogies are

so much better when viewed after the the original

For my number four I'm also going to kind of

a very similar thing than what you just did another

kind of dialogue exchange not just a line and

it's another one of Yoda's mentoring sessions

but instead of Anakin I'm going to go to his

mentoring sessions with Luke and there's so much

there throughout that whole exchange. Going from

the alright I'll give it a try no try not do

or do not there is no try to the I won't fail

you I'm not afraid and I love that last part

where he says you will be it's just Everything

about that, it's like the exact same setup now.

We had this with Anakin, we warned him, we told

him all the advice, and then we watched him go

off and, you know, fall down a different path.

Now we're going to do the exact same thing with

Luke and see what happens when he gets the advice.

But it's the same type of situation. You're dealing

with the same type of individual that's, you

know, super powerful and, you know, obviously

has high expectations about and, you know, lots

of things that they can accomplish. but also

has not, it's not someone that has control of

their emotions and has control of their feelings

and it's Yoda just doing his thing again, hopefully

at this point, obviously more successful than

what he did with Anakin, but there's a lot in

those pieces that are great little words of advice

and tidbits. I think that You Will Be might be

the most chilling line a Muppet has ever delivered.

Yeah. But I think it speaks I feel like I'm saying

the same things over and over again But it shows

the hubris of Luke Skywalker to be like I won't

be afraid. I'm not afraid and like Yoda's like

you're going to be because you're going to be

like he's seen it before and and you know Jedi's

for Centuries like he knows what's going on But

it's not about not being afraid, but it's about

like handling your fear and overcoming it And

it's another instance where you want to go through

the screen and shake Luke Skywalker and be like,

dude, you're talking to Yoda. Seriously. I can

see not taking Yoda seriously especially in that

one because you know an hour before he was like

stealing his Fig Newtons and big R2D2 up for

the light. Oh man. Hitting him with a stick.

We're getting ahead of ourselves. Alright that's

next week's episode. But what is your number

four sir? My number four it could be the whole

exchange but really I want to sum it down to

two words. Fly casual. Keep your distance though,

Chewie. But don't look like you're trying to

keep your distance. I don't know. Fly casual.

You said that laugh it up fuzzball is probably

the one you use the most. Fly casual is probably

the one I've heard the most. Right. I might get

that thrown at me. I'm the driver of all of my

groups of friends. And as most of us are Star

Wars fans, that one gets thrown at me quite a

lot. And I just love it, because it's a hard

concept to even wrap your mind around. It's as

tricky as any of Yoda's words. Like, I'm flying

a spaceship. For sure. For my number three...

You've already talked about it, so I won't go

into it too much detail a great minds think alike

I guess but it's just the one that you talked

about just a little bit ago with the whole fear

is the path to the dark side fear leads to anger

anger leads to hate hate leads to suffering etc

so it's the exact same thing I had with number

four except now this time with Anakin and Although

I think the one with Luke probably has more Like

more moments with throughout the dialogue that

I appreciate I think the moment that this one

has are maybe more powerful in a way. And I think

there's some subtle stuff that gets lost in this

one unfortunately, but I just think, like you

said, the whole exchange between him and the

young Anakin and kind of this little mentoring

session is just really memorable, obviously for

the most part with that one line that everybody

obviously quotes over and over again. What about

your number three, sir? My number three is another

conversation, which is really early in episode

two, when Obi -Wan and Anakin are in the elevator,

and they're talking like, you know, I haven't

felt you this tense since the Gundarks, and it's

like, you fell in, I had to save you. Like, that

exchange was what we needed more of in episode

two. By the end of episode three, we're supposed

to think that these two guys are best... friends

and they're inseparable and it's only like this

fear and jealousy that that makes them fight

and I don't think we get nearly enough of that

in episode two where you needed it but that was

the one that was the like that was definitely

the most intense like these are two buddies they've

been together for 10 years now which they have

and then they know each other's every move yeah

I think you hit the nail on the head there too

with probably episode two's biggest failings

is it really needed to act like that bridge um

whether regardless of what your feelings were

from episode one whether you like it whether

you don't like it whatever you know it still

gives us establishes the characters their backstory

and kind of where they come from but episode

two really needed to kind of be that bridge to

get us to the point where episode three didn't

seem so abrupt in a way, and so I do think that

there were some failings there and they did need

more of those exchanges, like you kind of got

a little bit at the beginning that then somewhat

disappeared and fade into love story territory

for the rest of the film, but yeah, I think that's

a good point. I didn't think about that one,

but that makes sense for sure. For my number

two, you're stealing all my thunder here because

you've already talked about my whole rest of

my list. No, you're good. my number two because

and I'm glad that you brought this up because

I always feel like I was the only one that liked

this line and it's honestly one of my favorite

lines from the entire franchise obviously since

it's at my number two and it is the one from

Padme so this is how liberty dies with thunderous

applause like that like when that happened when

I was in the theater and she said that I'm like

looking around and I just didn't feel like anybody

really heard what she said. Like I get that it

was used a lot and obviously people kind of clung

to it and used it for their own purposes but

I feel like in the context of the movie it's

so easy to miss and it's such a big statement

and it's also one that kind of goes back to a

different conversation from the previous film

where you have some other kind of conversations

of people as stuff is happening in the senate

uh... i can't remember exact the exact line but

there's another line that's really close to this

one that happens in the previous film talking

about the republic in the senate and stuff like

that and kind of leads a little bit to this but

just the whole idea that a group of people can

be kind of riled up to a point where They're

cheering and they're applaud, you know, they're

applauding for something that is not something

that should be Yeah taken so lightly and and

welcomed with open arms. It's like You know,

obviously we live in a time where it seems like

common sense that you know Oh, you know a dictatorship

or stuff like that is not something that we would

embrace but in a situation like this Then just

kind of the whole group think mentality that

you have going on here how easy it is for somebody

as smart as the Emperor to manipulate this whole

group into not only embracing something that

they shouldn't but applauding it and man I I

got chills when I heard that the first time and

every time I see this movie again, and I hear

it the same effect It's definitely one of the

most standout lines in the whole Revenge of the

Sith. And then what I think made it resonate

with me more personally was literally Revenge

of the Sith came out two days before I turned

18 and entered into politics, something I had

followed all my life because my parents are very

political people. Like, it had that resonating...

But I think, back to what you were saying, the

similar line in episode two, or at least one

thing that really came out of it was... Right

when he gets the emergency powers, he says something

like, I will gladly give up these emergency powers

as soon as the threat to the Republic has been

abated. And like, it's not even a real thing.

It's just Star Wars, but at the same time, whenever

I see that, I just want to yell like, no, you

won't! You're a liar! Who in the history of people

has done that? Like, outside of George Washington.

Stop it. This is BS. But yeah, so I like that

line. I'm in agreement with you, obviously. What's

your number two? My number two goes to Palpatine.

Right when Vader brings Luke to Emperor Palpatine

on the Death Star II, it's a rather long exchange,

but it's just like where he shows his grand plan.

It's like the most monologue super villainy moment

in all of Star Wars. I'm looking forward to completing

your trick. In time, you will call me Master.

You're gravely mistaken. You won't convert me

as you did my father. Oh no, my young Jedi. You

will find that it is you who are mistaken. About

a great many things. Where he's all like, you

know, I know everything like your guys are down

there. They're not going to they're not gonna

win I still got a shield. I'm fully activated

your friends are about to show up. I know that

too They're gonna die and then eventually you're

gonna get angry enough that you're gonna try

to kill me And then you're just gonna be my apprentice

And it's also the delivery of that line, especially

like when he says Yes, I assure you we are quite

safe from your friends here like just the way

the pacing of it the Emphasis and it's just you

know obviously Luke comes right back. You know

your overconfidence is your weakness and you

know your faith in your friends is yours, but

it's just every part of everything the Emperor

says and how he delivers it is just You're wanting

to hate the Emperor you know he's supposed to

be the character you hate most in this whole

thing but it's like god bless this guy always

knows what to say and he always has the upper

hand and god like luke you're so overmatched

here yeah it's so good yeah great choice um for

my number one you you talked about a part of

it and i kind of went on a little bit of a soapbox

for it but i really have to go and i know people

Will probably disagree with me and a lot of people

try to like rip on the writing and the dialogue

especially in the prequel trilogy But I'm going

back to episode 3 again. I've been there a bunch

but again that whole exchange between Obi -Wan

and Anakin for the whole Last whatever it is

30 minutes. I love almost every part of that

You underestimate my power! Don't try it! You

and the chosen one! It was said that you would

destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance

to the Force! Not leave it in darkness! There's

so many good points Like when Anakin mentions

my new empire and just the way Obi -Wan Kenobi

says your new empire is just you know for me

it was just like that moment where you have these

two friends and You just have one that finally

has seen it like he might have been questioning

or denying what's going on for a certain extent,

and he's hoping that maybe it's not true, or

he's hoping that he's going to be able to get

through to him. And then when he hears him say

that, just his reaction is just kind of, ah,

you know, and it's mainly from Obi -Wan and how

he delivers these lines, but, you know, my allegiance

is to the Republic, to democracy. Like you said,

only a Sith deals in absolutes. And then that

whole little exchange where you were the chosen

one, it was said that you would destroy the Sith,

not join them, you would bring balance to the

Force, not leave it in darkness. I love that

whole piece now I know it's broken up in between

you know obviously if we're going back and forth

between those scenes and what's going on with

the Emperor etc but I love that whole exchange

from Obi -Wan and Anakin and it's such a such

a jarring thing to see these people that are

supposed to be on the same side they're both

you know Jedi they're both characters that you've

been following along for three episodes and even

though you know what Anakin's gonna turn into

you've still are somewhat supposed to be liking

these characters through the three episodes and

just kind of seeing that How it all falls apart

and then the impact that that has when you watch

the original trilogy Like I said when Obi -Wan

and Darth Vader come face to face again, so I

love the whole end of this movie Yeah, a lot

of people didn't like Revenge of Sith and they're

wrong They're so wrong and I hate that it gets

lumped in sometimes when people like all those

prequel trilogies, which I don't Whatever, hate

on episode one if you'd like, but I like them

all and I really like episode three. Yeah, I

100 % that. Alright, what is your number one,

sir? My number one Han Solo. It shows like, almost

every Han Solo line shows just how Han Solo Han

Solo is. But this one's longer and I like it

a lot. It's my favorite quote probably from all

Star Wars. Kid I've flown from one side of this

galaxy to the other I've seen a lot of strange

stuff But I've never seen anything to make me

believe there's one all -powerful force controlling

everything There's no mystical energy field that

controls my destiny It's all a lot of simple

tricks and nonsense And that's how you should

live your life The Han Solo way Right, no that

is one that I definitely considered too and it's

you know Han and Luke have had their back and

forth and their little jabs at each other this

way or that way but it was like this is the line

in the sand about how I feel about your force

and how I feel about what you're doing but it

also kind of speaks to the fact that they have

completely different motives for being involved

in this thing and completely different outlooks

yet they're working together and you know on

the same team etc etc so but yeah definitely

shows you what Han Solo is all about and you

can't argue too much with it um you've avoided

all of the episode 7 trailers right yes okay

Because I'm not gonna mention anything, but there

is something that is said by Harrison Ford in

one of the trailers that speaks volumes to also

that quote. And I just want everyone who has

seen those trailers or in the future sees episode

seven, know that I'm aware of that, but I'm going

to avoid it for heaven's sake. It's so weird

that I'm doing, that I am avoiding the trailers

because it's so unlike me, but I just, I don't

need to know anything. You know what I mean?

I just want to be surprised. Not necessarily

surprised, but I just want to be able to experience

it all in one big foul swoop, I guess. I don't

know. I'm probably going to eventually accidentally

see it in front of another movie or something.

Yeah, I'm surprised you haven't as much as you

have. Normally, 1 ,000 % agree with you and I

was talking to a guy at work and I was just like,

I try not to get hyped up for movies and he's

like, yeah, no, it always makes the movie worse.

I was like, I know, but I'm so hyped for Star

Wars. I've never bought a movie ticket two months

in. Not only that, went back a couple days later

and bought more. That's awesome. Just for the

sake of all the maybe the more obvious quotes

or some of the people, quotes that maybe people

expected us to talk about, were there any that

we haven't talked about that just missed your

list or kind of some of the main ones that you

want to make sure we mention so people don't

think we're ignorant? Yeah, well of course you

got Let the Wookie Win. That one's got to be

mentioned. I really liked when Hansel asks Luke

Skywalker, so what do you think? Like, a princess

like her, a guy like me, and Luke immediately

cuts him off? No. No, I want to kiss my sister.

I was thinking of a couple, too, and we'll let

you think for a second, but I also love just

the introduction to the Mos Eisley spaceport

with the whole, you'll never find a more wretched

hive of scum and villainy. I like that one. he

said let the wiki when uh... how about uh...

help you know they want to know we are my only

hope uh... metaphorically with you were doomed

and i think that uh... another one that maybe

a little bit more uh... kind of under the radar

but i think there is a good one from quite gone

i try was trying to find one for him but the

closest i came was uh... in episode one when

he was talking to charger i guess that is why

it's maybe not as great as it could be, but when

he says the ability to speak does not make you

intelligent, I like that line from him for sure.

That's probably the most quotable line from him.

Any day conversation. Right. Oh, one other one

that I had from Darth Vader, which was his whole

exchange with Admiral Mahdi, which kind of ends

with the whole, I find your lack of faith disturbing.

When he's questioning, you know your sad devotion

to that ancient Jedi religion has not helped

you That's just a good one for the fact that

it just re Just cements that whole Darth Vader

is a badass still Like he is not one to be messed

with and he can force choke people And that's

not something you see every day. I uh I'm in

this group on Facebook that I don't really want

to talk about, but someone misquoted it and said,

your lack of faith disturbs me. And it's like,

that is an entirely different lie. Like, it practically

does the same thing, but in essence does not.

Right. Oh, no. I feel awkward. And my last one

was also from Darth Vader and that is just the

classic and only because it's been used so many

other times and commercials and stuff like that,

but the what is thy bidding my master? It's kind

of just classic chills because you're set up

to see this guy that's such a badass and can

do all these things and you're led to believe

that he is the most powerful enemy and then you

have him saying that to somebody else and you're

like wow this guy It's like basically bowing

down to this other individual. We better watch

out for this guy. Yeah The only line I can think

of to bring up is Darth Vader again, which is

no disintegrations the introduction to Boba Fett

Yeah, I was also thinking about the exchange

between them when Boba Fett's kind of upset or

You know worried that his prize possession is

gonna get hurt or wrecked That's kind of an interesting

exchange between Darth Vader and Boba Fett. He's

worth more to me alive Yeah, that whole exchange.

That's good one Man, so is there a movie out

of the six that you think is the most quotable?

Oh Jeez, um Let me reopen my list see if I did

more Episode two was the only one I didn't come

up with one for I had two in my top three for

episode two I also watched episode two today,

if that helps, when I was solidifying my list.

And episode, I watched episode one, two, and

seven in the last two days. That's interesting,

we watched one and two last weekend. I said seven,

it's not even a movie. I was like, how did you

watch seven all of a sudden? I'm just doing it

that well, I'm at six. Shoot. I wanna say the

first one, if only because everyone's seen the

first one. And I know, like, 5 % of the population

has it, but everyone has seen. And I think the

other thing that you get the benefit of with

A New Hope is that You kind of get your introduction

to all these characters for the first time so

you have quotes that are Memorable because it

shows you who that character is or what that

character is about Whether it's Leia or Obi -Wan

or Han or Darth Vader, so I mean I think you

do get a lot of stuff That's I probably had the

most quotes from episode from a new hope as well

and then for the prequels I definitely had the

most from episode 3 if you couldn't tell yeah

But I do think once you get Yoda in episode 5.

There's definitely a lot of a lot of quotes there

too. So definitely a very quotable franchise

and obviously we're looking forward to having

some new entrants when we get to episode seven

and who knows who the authors or who the actors

of those quotes will be but I'm looking forward

to adding a few more to the list. Teasing kind

of what we have going on next I guess when we

join you guys next time. We're going to bring

some more Star Wars aficionados onto the record

to help us count down our top ten moments or

scenes, which, man, if you thought Quotes was

hard to narrow down, I don't know if it gets

any harder than top ten Star Wars moments. What

about you, Matt? I know that my, uh... I've already

got at least ten that aren't going to make the

top cut that need to be mentioned. I have at

least ten honorable mentions. Yeah. We're going

to have a longer honorable mention section on

that one for sure, but maybe with more voices

being heard on that episode we'll cover more

of them during the time. But I'm definitely looking

forward to that. Hopefully I've had a chance

to re -watch the rest of the movies by then,

because I have four more movies I need to re

-watch just to see which ones hit hardest with

me this last time through, instead of just going

off of the memory of the first hundred times

I've seen each film. Alright, I think that does

it for this episode. Obviously, we want to interact

with you guys, so definitely visit the website,

geekcastradio .com, find the episode post, and

let us know what your favorite quotes are. Let

forward to hearing your thoughts next time we

uh next time we join up i spec the ability to

speak does not make you intelligent now get out

of here you made a fair move screaming about

it can't help you i don't have it's not wise

upset a wookie but sir nobody worries about upsetting

a droid it's because a droid don't pull people's

arms out of their sockets when they lose wookies

are known to do that i see your point sir I suggest

a new strategy, Arthur. Let the Wookie win. What

is thy bidding, my master? May the Force be with
