Stormtrooper:"The Death Star plans are not in the main computer." NEW
Vader & Captain Antilles:"If this is a consular ship, where is the ambassador? Commander, tear this ship apart until you've found those plans and bring me the passengers - I want them alive!"
Smart Stormtroopers!
It's amazing how sharp these guys were compared to the rifle fodder they became in the sequels.
Stormtrooper:"There's one..Set for stun!"
Vader:"Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies." NEW
C-3PO and R2-D2 arrive on Tatooine
R2-D2's squeal as C-3PO leaves him. NEW
A Jawa's yell NEW
Jawa
Language
In a number of instances, the Jawa language is simply English at a really high rate of speed. Many of the times the Jawas speak, they mutter the same line. Click here to listen to the line and then figure out what the Jawa is saying. The answer is at the bottom of the page.
Luke's first whine
This is where it all began...
Luke:"But I was going into Toshi Station to pick up some power convertors!"
Luke:"This R2 unit has a bad motivator - look!" NEW
C-3PO:"As a matter of fact, I'm not even sure which planet I'm on!?" NEW
Just Another Day on the Dunes...

Damsel in Distress
Leia:"Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi - You're my only hope."
Dinnertime whining
Luke:"But it's a whole 'nother year!" NEW
Luke:"Looks like I'm goin' nowhere!" NEW
Uncle Owen:"Luke! I'm shutting the power down!" NEW
Meeting Ben
Ben:"Come here my little friend." NEW
Ben:"Obi-Wan Kenobi...Obi-Wan...Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time...A long time..." NEW
Luke & Ben:"I saw part of the message you - I seem to have found it." NEW
Subtle he is not
Ben certainly does not beat around the bush.
Ben:"You must learn the ways of the Force - If you're to come with me to Alderran!"
Obi-Wan plays detective
Luke clues in to what's going on
Fun town to visit!
Ben:"Mos Eisley Spaceport. You will never find the more wretched hive of scum and villany..." NEW
Ben messes with a stormtrooper
Rules of the Bar
Wuhrer & Luke:"Hey! We don't serve their kind here! What? Your droids - They'll have to wait outside..We don't want them here!"
Beware the local drunks!
In my humble opinion, Wuhrer should have stopped serving these two a couple of hours before!
Dr. Evazan & Luke:"You just watch yourself! We're wanted men! I have the death sentences on twelve systems! I'll be careful...You'll be dead!" (102k)
The First Appearance of Han Solo
In an earlier draft of the script, Han is first seen cozying up with a woman, who he ushers away as Luke and Ben arrive at the table. This scene can be viewed on the Star Wars: Behind the Magic CD-ROM.
Han:"Han Solo. I'm Captain of the Millenium Falcon..."
Greedo tries to collect
The alien Greedo was actually played by George Lucas' secretary, who sported high heels during the scene.
Greedo:"Oota-Goota, Solo?"
The self-defence move
George Lucas was troubled by the original version of the film, wherein Solo shoots Greedo dead in cold blood. To rectify the situation, Lucas had ILM add in a blaster shot from Greedo in the Special Edition, just before Solo's to make it appear as self defence. How Greedo could have missed from that range though is beyond me!?
Han:"Over my dead body..." NEW
Han:"Yes...I'll bet you have!"
Han:"Sorry 'bout the mess..." NEW
