View Quote Ben Kenobi: Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan. Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.
Luke Skywalker: I think my uncle knows him. He said he was dead.
Ben Kenobi: [smiling] Oh, he's not dead. Well, not yet.
Luke Skywalker: You know him?
Ben Kenobi: Well, of course I know him. He's me. I haven't gone by the name of Obi-Wan since, oh, before you were born.
Luke Skywalker: Well then the droid does belong to you.
Ben: I don't seem to remember ever owning a droid. Very interesting.
[Several Sandpeople yelp in the distance]
Ben Kenobi: We'd best get indoors. The Sandpeople are easily startled, but they'll soon be back, and in greater numbers.

View Quote [Luke and Ben sit down at the cantina. Luke is accosted by a hostile alien, accompanied by Dr. Evazan.]
Dr. Evazan: He doesn't like you.
Luke Skywalker: Sorry.
Dr. Evazan: I don't like you either! You just watch yourself! We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems.
Luke Skywalker: I'll be careful.
Dr. Evazan: You'll be dead!
Ben Kenobi: [stepping in] This little one's not worth the effort. Now let me get you something.
[Dr. Evazan attacks Luke; Ben pulls out his lightsaber and cuts off the arm of the first hostile alien.]

View Quote Greedo: [Speaking in Rodese] Going somewhere, Solo?
Han Solo: Yes, Greedo. As a matter of fact, I was just going to see your boss. Tell Jabba that I've got the 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 that every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you. I'm lucky I found you first.
Han Solo: Yeah, but this time I've got the money.
Greedo: If you give it to me, I might forget I found you.
Han Solo: I don't have it with me! Tell Jabba—
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 Solo: 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 Solo: Over my dead body!
Greedo: That's the idea. I've been looking forward to this for a long time.
Han Solo: Yes, I'll bet you have.
[Note: In the original theatrical release, it was not clear who fired first, but it was strongly implied that Han shot Greedo immediately after his last line. In the 1997 and 2004 re-releases, the scene was refilmed to show Greedo shooting first and Han dodging, then shooting back in self-defense.]

View Quote [Note: This scene only occurs in the 1997 and 2002 re-releases of the film.] Jabba the Hutt: [Speaking in Huttese] Solo! Come on out of there, Solo! Solo!
Han Solo: Right here, Jabba. I've been waitin' for ya.
Jabba: Have you now?
Han Solo: Didn't think I was gonna run, did ya?
Jabba: Han, you disappoint me. Why haven't you paid me, and why did you have to fry poor Greedo?
Han Solo: Look Jabba, next time you wanna talk to me, come see me yourself. Don't send one of these twerps.
Jabba: Han, Han. If only you hadn't had to dump that shipment of spice. I just can't make exceptions. Where would I be if every pilot who smuggled for me dumped their shipment at the first sign of an Imperial starship? It's not good business.
Han Solo: Look Jabba, even I get boarded sometimes. [steps on Jabba's tail, making him cry out in irritation] You think I had a choice? But I've got a nice, easy charter now and I can pay you back, plus a little extra. I just need a little more time.
Jabba: Han, my boy, you're the best. So, for an extra 20%—
Han Solo: Fifteen, Jabba. Don't push it.
Jabba: Okay, fifteen. But if you disappoint me again, I'll put a price on your head so big, you won't be able to go near a civilized system!
Han Solo: [dryly] Jabba, you're a wonderful human being.

View Quote [Luke sees the Millennium Falcon for the first time]
Luke Skywalker: What a piece of junk!
Han Solo: She'll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've added some special modifications myself. But we're a little rushed, so if you'll just get onboard, we'll get outta here.

View Quote (Imperial Spy talking to Sandtrooper loader) Re reega Re reega!
Sandtrooper leader: Where are they?
(Imperial Spy furiously waves his hand towards Docking Bay 94)
Sandtropper leader: Men, load your weapons!
Han Solo:Well, that's about it. (turns an leaves towards the Millennium Falcon door)
Sandtrooper leader There they are! Blast them!
( a brief shootout between Han Solo and Sand troopers) Han SoloChewy! get the ship started.
(Han Solo runs on board , Obi Wan Kenobi, Luke, C-3P0, and R2D2 sit at a table)
C-3P0 Oh, I hate space travel!

View Quote Princess Leia Organa: Governor Tarkin, I should have expected to find you holding Vader's leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought onboard.
Grand Moff Tarkin: Charming to the last. You don't know how hard I found it, signing the order to terminate your life.
Princess Leia Organa: [sarcastically] I'm surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself.
Grand Moff Tarkin: Princess Leia, before your execution, you will join me at a ceremony that will make this battle station operational. No star system will dare oppose the Emperor now.
Princess Leia Organa: The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.
Grand Moff Tarkin: Not after we demonstrate the power of this battle station. In a way, you have determined the choice of the planet that is to be destroyed first. Since you are reluctant to provide us with the location of the Rebel base, I have chosen to test this station's destructive power on your home planet of Alderaan.
Princess Leia Organa: [shocked] No! Alderaan is peaceful, we have no weapons. You can't possibly—
Grand Moff Tarkin: You would prefer another target, a military target? Then name the system! [stepping closer to Leia and pinning her against Darth Vader] I grow tired of asking this, so it will be the last time. Where is the Rebel base?
Princess Leia Organa: [looks at Alderaan for a moment, then, resigned] Dantooine. They're all on Dantooine.
Grand Moff Tarkin: There you see, Lord Vader? She can be reasonable. Proceed with the operation. You may fire when ready.
Princess Leia Organa: [indignant] What?!
Grand Moff Tarkin: You're far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration, but don't worry. We will deal with your rebel friends soon enough.

View Quote [After Luke has successfully defended against several shots from the laser remote]
Luke Skywalker: You know, I did feel something. I could almost see the remote.
Ben Kenobi: That's good. You've taken your first step into a larger world.
