I live with MN (Minnesota)Vader Impersonator, so I've come to know just how much of a Star Wars fan I am. (Our two year old is now quoting, so it's nice to know there are others out there).
I think one of my favorites is:
"Your father was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker, and became Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So what I told you was true. From a certain point of view". (Obi Wan Kenobi-Empire Strikes Back)

LOL. Thanks Brian. Nah, it's not that bad. My hubby has a way cool modified speaking system because he actually can do a very good impression of Vader. (I'm the coolest wife, to toot my own horn for a bit). And I'm the one going out each pay day and picking up a few more SW toys for the boy. His sister is just 6 months old and she went as Leia this last Halloween. I have my own Leia suit from Episode IV. Yeah, we're buffs. I admit it.
Cool thread by the way.

Oh, Anora, sorry you are going through all of that :-) Hang in there.
Your quote is quite impressive, quite long, from memory!! Way to go.

I love this one from The Pantom Menance:
"But Master Yoda says I should be mindful of the future"
"But not at the expense of the moment"
(I just adored Qui Gon, maybe because he was a bit of a rebel).

Yeah, my kids got me into it. I watched the first one when it came out in the theater - I was a teen back then :-) In the last two years, my three boys turned my wife and I on to it. We have Star Wars marathons from time to time now.
Hey, my boys and I are debating who said your quote?

This one was spoken by Darth Vader. I believe it is from Empire Strikes Back when Darth Vader is trying to capture Luke in carbonite, like they did Han Solo. It may actually be on their way out on the catwalk.

Oh man, there are too many.
The best would have to be Han Solo's "May the Force be with you" in "A New Hope." I would smirk whenever I hear it. I could only imagine how much energy it took Harrison Ford to keep himself from laughing after he said that line. It was horrible.
There's also that "come back to the light" conversation between Anakin and Padme in the climax of "Revenge of the Sith" where Padme says, "Anakin, you're breaking my heart!" Oooohhh nooo..... It was cheesy beyond measure.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm a HUGE Star Wars fan. It just doesn't help to laugh at the different lines that weren't that good. Peace.

Thanks for adding an interesting twist to the discussion. I see your point and depending on the mood I'm in I take those lines either way. It is interesting to see some of the early and rudimentary type scenes, but then I'd be dating myself if I talked about that too much :-)

I imagine that line could be useful in many situations :-) Thanks.

My best loved is probably the one that is overused:
"Luke, I am your father---Nooooooo!" - classis!
Also I think this was form return of the Jedi:
"You will find out Luke, that many things will depend from a certain point of view"

It has to be, "You've lost something." from the third one when half of the ship they're trying to land just breaks off. There are a lot of good quotes in all six... I don't know if I can choose another favorite.

Another line I love is
"This ain't like dustin' crops boy. "
I recall seeing an interview with Harrison Ford regarding Star Wars in which he said you'd read the lines and say "Who talks like this".

My final favorite is from Jar-jar Binks (sp?) just before he leads the troops into battle: "Steady, steady now."

[Han answers the intercom after comandeering an attack station]
Han Solo: [sounding official] Uh, everything's under control. Situation normal.
Voice: What happened?
Han Solo: [getting nervous] Uh, we 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?
Voice: We're sending a squad up.
Han Solo: Uh, uh... negative, negative. We had a reactor leak here now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak, very dangerous.
Voice: Who is this? What's your operating number?
Han Solo: Uh...
[Han shoots the intercom]
Han Solo: [muttering] Boring conversation, anyway.
i LMAO first time i watched this.....
PS: i got the whole conversation from imdb

I loved Ben Kenobi's line in Episode IV: "Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?"
It was so great and so true. To this day, if I hear someone saying something like this, I immediately respond with that line. lol

Ok I know that this is not technically a line but in Revenge of the Sith when Anakin takes his first breath as Darth Vader... gives me chills haha
That is definitely my favorite line/moment!

I love this one said by Yoda in Phantom Menace: "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate...leads to suffering"
Another one of my favorites is this one said by Luke in the end of Return of the Jedi: "I'll never turn to the dark side. You failed, your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me".
