    "Fear. Fear attracts the fearful. The strong, the weak, the corrupt, the innocent. Fear is my ally." -Darth Maul.

    I love this quote because first of all, Darth Maul is my favorite Sith Lord (Besides Darth Vader), and because his quote does depict a reality that many people don't know about; which is the fact that fear goes to those who are afraid of fear itself, no matter how weak or powerful they are.

    Darth Vader: "Because you are my Son!" I guess its the lot of every young man, that given its mothers day this weekend in Aussie, that men can never live up to the high standards our Fathers set for us? How much more pure is it that like our Heavenly Fathers plan in an eternal battle between good and evil and the pursuit of excellence, a kind word from our Mothers always does vastly more than the discouragement of a Father to build upon what we achieve in our own right, all the while our Fathers hiding this from us? The Force could be used for Good or Evil and at this moment we realise Darth Vader is a fallen angel, that somehow weakness of personality not existing in the Son becomes the Fathers end in the movie, how lucky are we to always have an Eternal Heavenly Father and for those among you with kids, I have never had any, use the worst excuse for not doing something or for that matter doing something? "Because I am your Father?" I remember in the movie his mother had always said his father was dead? Sad, we all deny true love, and yet until we've lost true love we never knew we had it? And never experience it until it is lost? Some do, stereotyping can be so passe but I love that quote best for all I said?

    Probably one of the art-related quotes from Grand Admiral Thrawn, such as:

    "I was speaking mainly of the artwork. We can learn more from that than we can from currency or gems."

    "Learn about art, Captain. When you understand a species' art, you understand that species."

    "But… it was so artistically done."

    Or one of the others:

    "I have no qualms about accepting a useful idea merely because it wasn't my own."

    "Any one can make an error, Ensign. But that error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it."

    "One can concentrate so closely on the words of a sentence that one thereby misses the meaning. As can happen in any area of life. You must never lose focus on the larger landscape."

    He was so slick and clever. The best part of a somewhat fanfic-y series. I'd rather read the Thrawn trilogy than see the prequels any day.

    (By the by, when is Star Trek day? There'd be now SW without ST. ;) )

    Yes! Star Wars! Star Wars is awesome! Let me think, here's some of my favorite quotes:

    "May the Force be With you" because it's one of the most widely known ones

    "No Luke, I am your father!" because it was an epic moment when Vader said that, again it's widely known

    "Fear is the path to the Dark side" because Yoda is one of the people to say this, he's wise and knows what he's talking about

    "These are not the droids you are looking for" because it's a funny moment when Obi-Wan did that

    "Do, or do not, there is no try" because Yoda knows what he's talking about

    "The Sith always betray one another, but I'm sure you'll find that out soon enough" Shak-Ti said that in Star Wars the Force Unleashed to Starkiller before she died (the Star Wars Episode 3 deleted scene WAS deleted after all, probably for this reason"

    "May the 4th be with you" because it's like "May the Force be with you"

    "You don't know the power of the Dark side" because it's one of the quotes I remember clearly

    "Mesa Jar-Jar Binks" because Jar-Jar is funny

    "Oh my!" when C3PO starts panicking he says this, and it sounds rather funny when he does

    "Bring balance to the Force, not leave it in darkness!" by Obi-Wan and I'm not sure why I like this quote

    "Roger, Roger!" by the droids because they sound rather funny

    I may edit this answer if I have more quotes.

    C-3PO: Sir, it's quite possible this asteroid is not entirely stable. Han Solo: Not entirely stable. I'm glad you're here to tell us these things. Chewie! Take the Professor in back and plug him into the hyperdrive! Darth Vader: There will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the Millenium Falcon. You are free to use any methods necessary but I want them alive - no disintegrations! C-3PO: [Interrupting Han and Leia kissing] Sir. Sir, I've isolated the reverse, power flux coupling. Han Solo: Thank you. Thank you very much. C-3PO: Oh you're perfectly welcome, sir. Luke: I don't, I don't believe it. Yoda: That is why you fail. Princess Leia: Let go. Han Solo: Shh. Princess Leia: Let go, please. Han Solo: Don't get excited. Princess Leia: Captain, being held by you isn't quite enough to get me excited. Han Solo: Sorry sweetheart. I haven't got time for anything else. Han Solo: No time to discuss this as a committee. Princess Leia: I am not a committee! Princess Leia: You're not actually going IN to an asteroid field? Han Solo: They'd be crazy to follow us, wouldn't they? 3PO: No, no! Wait for me! Han Solo: [to C-3PO] Hurry up, goldenrod! Or you're gonna be a permanent resident Luke: "There's something alive in here!" Han: "That's your imagination "C'mon Han old buddy, don't let me down!" C-3PO: Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1. Han Solo: Never tell me the odds. It's not my fault! - Han and Lando What an incredible smell you've discovered! "Governor Tarkin, I should have expected to find you holding Vader's leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board." - Leia in A New Hope "You are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away!" - Darth Vadar in A New Hope "Impressive. Most Impressive." - Darth Vadar in The Empire Strikes Back "You rebel Scum!" "Control, Control, you must learn control!" - Yoda. Love quoting that! Ahhh Classics!!! Simply Awesome stuff

    "Will somebody get this walking carpet out of my way!" - Princess Leia

    I love it because in this film she is asserting her royalness, rather than her humanity.

    My next favorite quote is....

    "Aren't you a little short for a storm trooper?" - Princess Leia

    It's just ironic because she noticed that tidbit and not a single other person on the ship when they were transporting Chewie to the prisoner hold noticed the height difference. The irony in this is hilarious to me.

    Brain research tells us that only twenty percent of human beings have a sense of irony, which means that eighty percent of the world takes everything at face value.

    So many great, classic quotes from these movies - especially the first 3 to come out. I like Yoda's quotes for their wisdom (and occasional humor) and Han Solo's quotes for their humor (and rare wisdom, ha!) -

    Obi-Wan: "That's no moon, that's a space station"

    Han Solo: "Ahhh, and I thought they smelled bad on they outside!"

    Han Solo and Storm Trooper guard: "Uh, everything's under control. Situation normal.

    **What happened?

    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? (cringes)

    **We're sending a squad up.

    Uh, negative, negative. We have a, a reactor leak here, ah, now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak, very dangerous.

    **Who is this? What's your operating number?

    (Han picks up a blaster and shoots the microphone)

    Boring conversation anyway. Luke, we're gonna have company!"

    Leia: "Why you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking, nerfherder!"

    Han: "Who's scruffy looking?"

    Luke: "I can’t believe it."

    Yoda: "That is why you fail."

    Yoda: "Mudhole? Slimy? My home this is!"

    Yoda: "...All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless!"

    Yoda: "Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size do you?"

    And of course, the legendary:

    Luke: "I won't fail you. I'm not afraid."

    Yoda: "You will be. You will be."

    Source(s): Grew up with the original starwars - even slept on a sidewalk overnight with hundreds of other people to get tickets for the opening day of Episode 1 in Springfield, Oregon (it was also the opening day of that movie theatre, we saw the very first movie they played). There were people dressed up, people had brought portable tv's to watch the movies...It was rainy and cold, and the group of friends I was in had just some blankets and a flask of whiskey to keep us warm! Good times, good times...

    Well mine is "Do or Do not. There is no try." Pretty much because I got in trouble in class today for talking, (I was actually telling someone "may the fourth be with you") and not doing my work, but my counselor thought the best thing to do was quote Yoda because I never work. haha
