OT - Today is International Star Wars Day

[superkat]

just thought i'd pass that along for those of us that are true Star Wars fans. Feel free to post your favorite quote...or share a geeky experience or two...:celeb1:

I'll start with my first choice: "For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship."

haha nice..wile being a true scifi fan..I was never really into Star Wars(besides the first movies)

But here is a cool one from Yoda I like...

“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

 

[DEEP BLUE SIX]

"Theyr'e really not that different, the Jedi and the Sith..."

"That's not really true.. The Sith think inward and only about themselves.."
"And the Jedi don't..?"
"No, the Jedi are selfless. Caring only for the benefit of others."

"All who gain power are afraid to lose it." "Even the Jedi..."

Kind of like some people I know... LOL

"Have you ever heard of the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis?"
"I thought not, it's not something the Jedi would tell you..."
"It's a Sith Legend..."

"Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying."

"He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then, his apprentice killed him in his sleep."

"Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself."

Kat how you can pick just one quote! I have been a dire hard Star Wars fan since I was young. I still remember waiting in line to see Jedi on the opening Day first show. Hours and hours... but we had a ton of fun.... Hell I'm 44 now and it seems like yesterday. Great movies...

I can't pick just one...but didn't want to hog the thread. I also don't want to rub anyone's nose in the fact that I have been at Skywalker Ranch just north of San Fran and met George Lucas...and had a private tour of ILM. On the ten year anniversary of Star Wars...my cousin Kevin and I dressed as Luke and Leia and camped outside the theater in Albany and made the news. I saw Star Wars at it's premiere opening at what was Gromann's Chinese Theater (now Mann's) in the second row...right behind all the leads and George Lucas. My brother MADE ME GO. I didn't want to see it...and now? So much of this impacts the way I look at life...and has transcended generations...as my son plays in the yard with lightsabers and knows the lingo as well as I do.

Lol

 

[toddmh]

hears a few more I like

"Before you die there is something you should know about us, Lone Star. (Lone Starr: 'What?') I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate. (Lone Starr: 'What's that make us?') Absolutely nothing! Which is what you are about to become."
- Dark Helmet, Spaceballs

Dark Helmet: I'll call Spaceball City and notify President Skroob immediatly.
Guard: I already called him, Sir. He knows everything.
Dark Helmet: What?! You went over my HELMET?!
Guard: Well, not exactly over, Sir. M-M-More to the side.
-Dark Helmet & Guard

and guess who knows Bill Pullman, too? oh stop me. um....Hornell Senior High School...graduated with my brother...was in all the plays with him...and was at our house all the time. But I digress.....

 

[talon4x4]

I remember when the first Star Wars came out on cable tv!! We had the whole family over, it was a big Star Wars party.

"I've been waiting a long time for this, my little Green friend..." :spin2:
:lmao:

 

[Krypt1979]

My favorite quote that I admit I use far to often,
Yoda: Do or do not! There is no try...

I've been a SW fan for longer then I can remember. Heck, I even still play a SW video game. If you guys like SW and games, give Star Wars Galaxies a try. It's an mmo but it's alot of fun!

i can see this is turning into a permanent thread....which is TOTALLY fine with me.....

"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?
**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!"

"A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine before he turned to evil, helped the empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi knights."
"He betrayed and murdered your father." "Now the Jedi are all but exstinct." "Vader was seduced by the dark side of the force." -Obi-Wan(Ben)

Episode 5

"Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father..." -Vader

"He told me enough. He told me you killed him" - Luke

"No, Luke... I AM YOUR FATHER..." -Vader (Anakin Skywalker)
