Top Ten Star Wars Quotes From The Original Trilogy To Use in Everyday Situations

There are so many great quotes or one-liners from the the original Star Wars trilogy that it was difficult to narrow it down to just 10.

Lines such “Use the Force, Luke” didn’t make the cut since you might not be talking to someone names Luke.

#10 “You Just Watch Yourself”

Episode IV: A New Hope ~Dr. Evazan:

While you might not have the death sentence on 12 systems, you might find yourself add that next line to this quote anyway since we all deal with annoying people from time to time.

#9 “I’m Glad You’re Here to Tell us These Things”

Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back ~Han Solo

We all seem to have a Mr. or Mrs. Know-It-All that insists on telling us the most obvious of things. Why not share how glad you are that they are in your life.

#8 “What a Piece of Junk!”

Episode IV: A New Hope ~Luke Skywalker

Anyone that has ever worked in a corporate office knows that it takes a long time for the powers that be to upgrade office technology. Whether it’s your PC still running on XP or a fax machine that still uses thermal paper, this line can easily be used.

Alternative situations that we can use this line is when dealing with cars or other “classic” items in our lives.

#7 “Do or Do Not. There is No Try”

Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back ~Yoda

Used best when anyone uses the word “try.” This is especially useful when you ask someone to do something for you and they tell you that they will try.

#6 “I Find Your Lack of Faith Disturbing”

Episode IV: A New Hope ~Darth Vader

For those that have a difficult time seeing the possibilities in life, we can let these naysayers know what we think of their pessimism.

#5 “I’ve Got a Bad Feeling About This”

Episode IV: A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Episode VI: Return of The Jedi

This line is used in all 7 movies, so it deserves to be on the list.

For those of use that can see the flaws in things just before they happen, this is a must use line.

#4 “This Is an Unexpected Pleasure.”

Episode VI: Return of The Jedi! ~Moff Jerjerrod

You don’t need to be Moff Jerjerrod to use this line. Whether someone important like Lord Vader or just a friend pops in to say high, you can use this line in all seriousness or with a bit of tongue and check to welcome them.

#3 “Impressive. Most Impressive.”

Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back ~Darth Vader

We all have made the mistake of underestimating someone or some company. When they come through at a level higher than we imagined they could perform at, this line comes to mind.

Often I use this when teaching an under belt a new kick or strike. For those that pick up quickly and they hit the pad with speed and power, I applaud their talents with my best Vader voice.

#2 “It’s a Trap!”

Episode VI: Return of The Jedi ~Admiral Ackbar

If your boss comes up to you and a co-worker and asks if you are busy, you know it’s a trap. Be careful saying this one out loud in that situation.

Another time that to use this is when someone tells you that they don’t need you to do anything for them and you can continue to sit there watching TV with your buddies. Warn your friend that they are in danger.

#1 “No… I Am Your Father”

Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back ~Darth Vader

Ok. This only works if you have kids. Since I do, this is one of my favorites to use around the house. It makes my three girls laugh and cry at the same time. Usually they are asking me to do something and I say “no.” They ask why and I finish the conversation with “I am your father.”

Did I Miss Any?
