One of the most highly influential movie sagas of all time, Star Wars has invaded the very fabric of reality of our far, far away world. The various concepts like the force, lightsabers, blasters, hyperspeed travel, alien worlds, and intergalactic war make this story world undeniably intriguing, drawing audiences from far and wide since its first release in 1977. What makes Star Wars so incredibly unique is the vast canon that was, in major part, created by fans who fell in love with the franchise. Very few could predict just how big Star Wars would become in their time, delivering not only quality entertainment but actual philosophies through scriptwriting. In such a vast universe, it is likely that some will take these ways of thinking and apply them to their own lives. That is why the quotes on the list are present: because they entertain as well as impact the viewer. Namely, Yoda and Vader are quoted often here, as they represent two sides of the coin of badassery and wisdom.
There are a great many Star Wars quotes that are impactful to people in different ways. Whether it be philosophical, comedic, or simply sheer awesomeness, anyone who has experienced it knows that a simple ‘ootini!’ can brighten the day of a Star Wars superfan. The best Star Wars quotes are for all fans alike.
Ren’s hair-raising conclusion to his telepathic info-dump session with Rey can bring chills to the spine, which is a nice redeeming moment in this mixed-reviews movie. See IGN’s review of The Last Jedi for our take.
Ben Kenobi’s scathing one-star Yelp review of Mos Eisley spaceport is such a great cocktail of words that “Scum and Villainy” has since become shorthand for the Star Wars galaxy’s less reputable denizens who don’t necessarily fall into the good or evil categories. – Max Scoville
In the Star Wars spinoff series that specializes in showcasing a rare look at the brutality of the Rebellion, this is a perfect way to surmise the theme monologued masterfully by Stellan Skarsgård as Luthen Rael.
Simply the highlight of Yoda’s moving speech about the force and one of many great quotes from this scene, Yoda establishes himself as the supreme character of wisdom.
Leia’s sassy and deserved retort to Han Solo’s arrogant advances ultimately leads to the vengeful kiss heard around the world–one movie before discovering how misplaced that kiss was.
It’s the Star Wars equivalent of “Can I offer you an egg in this trying time” delivered by acclaimed German filmmaker Werner Herzog, and it can be quoted at most social gatherings. – Max Scoville
This very wise and calmly uttered quote comes from one of the animated spinoffs, Star Wars Rebels, said to Darth Maul in a moment of tension in a Tatooine wasteland.
Announcing very early on in the saga that she is not to be underestimated, Leia takes charge of a seemingly hopeless situation by blasting a hole in the garbage chute to escape a squad of stormtroopers.
A quote that aptly surmises the Darth Maul side story that is fully fleshed out in the animated spinoffs, Maul finally faces Kenobi again with an unfettered thirst for vengeance.
Every Jedi Master in this story is defined by the ones they taught, for better or for worse, and the successes and failures of their students become their own. The whole bittersweet scope of the Skywalker Saga is captured in this one quote. – Jesse Schedeen
Likely the most Solo of the Solo quotes, Han cuts off C3P0’s statistical analysis of the dire situation to express that he is not and never will be interested in knowing his chances He’d rather rely on luck and his undeniable skills as a pilot and leader.
One of many memorable quotes from the second Star Wars movie created, Yoda assertively insists to Luke that there is only do, or do not–which is one of a few quotes that directly defies the quote: “Only a Sith deals in absolutes” said by Obi-Wan Kenobi in Revenge of the Sith.
A chilling monologue from a young, angry Anakin explaining his mild overreaction to his mother’s passing, while the audience’s appropriate reaction is visualized in the facial expressions of Padme as she listens. This is one of the best line deliveries that Hayden Christiansen gives in his two movies.
In a moment that, in part, defines the transformation of Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader, Palpatine flashes his true side as Darth Sidious when he orders Anakin to execute Count Dooku (A.K.A. Darth Tyranus) despite him being unarmed–also literally.
Mostly celebrated in meme culture, Kenobi’s overtly nonchalant greeting is simply hilarious; especially when facing down the vicious General Grievous and a brigade of droids.
One of the most well-known quotes from The Mandalorian comes from its very first episode, delivered by Werner Herzog in the slightly creepy tone that we all know and love so well.
Darth Vader barks an intimidation attempt at Kenobi during their long-awaited final battle, to which Kenobi quickly claps back “Only a master of evil, Darth.”
“The Sequel Trilogy has its problems. Adam Driver’s performance is not one of them.” – Tom Jorgenson
Continuing the string of awesome Darth Vader quotes, this one is growled by Vader as he first showcases his force choke, simultaneously scaring the present military leaders into submission.
One of the more heart-wrenching quotes from the saga, Kenobi delivers the line with all he can muster after defeating his former pupil and brother-in-arms, Anakin.
Celebrated mostly for its ridiculousness, Christiansen does his best to deliver one of the silliest lines in the entire Star Wars universe.
A vengeful Luke tells Vader, “You killed my father!” The Sith Lord makes it clear that barely narrows down the list of candidates. It’s basically the Star Wars equivalent of M. Bison’s iconic “For me, it was a Tuesday,” line. – Jesse Schedeen
The line that inspired hope in the hearts of both a young Luke Skywalker and an old Ben Kenobi, this line is looped from R2D2’s projector long enough for any Star Wars fan to have it burned into their brains.
A line that can and will be used to apply to real life, Yoda details the path to the dark side starting with fear to a slippery slope of overall pain and suffering.
I appreciate it as both a technical marvel that pioneered 21st-century cinema, and also as a hilariously corny kids movie that’s immensely fun to crack jokes about. The podrace is a great example of the former, and this infinitely quotable stupid line squarely the latter. – Max Scoville
Yet another memorable bit from his monologue to Luke about the force, Yoda applies a classic practice of mindfulness that is utilized in multiple religions and isms to stress his seriousness on the matter.
One of the biggest and most famous movie twists in pop culture cinema, Vader hits Luke with the horrifying truth of the matter that he is born of hatred and darkness.
Yoda capitalizing on his tongue-in-cheek comedy style during episodes V and VI, joking about his age shortly before his emotional passing in Luke’s presence.
Spoken in a hilariously low register, an imperial officer decides to talk down Solo and a group of rebel saboteurs shortly after surrounding them. Many have quoted it, many will continue to do so.
For a movie that viewers seem to be either for or against (and nowhere in the middle), Jyn Erso issues a counterpoint to a downtrodden group of jaded and regretful rebels, inspiring them to believe in the one thing that can bring them together–hope.
