You were the Chosen One!

Do what must be done; do not hesitate, show no mercy!

and, of course:

Unlimited power!

"You were the Chosen One!"
In the trailer it looks like he's saying it during the fight, but when it came after the fight, after what he's done, when he's staring down at the thing that was his "brother" it is a lot more emotional.

The whole "Are you threatening me Master Jedi?" exchange. It was the best part of the trailer, and was well good in the film as well.

"ULTIMATE POWERRRRR!!!!!"
It's cheesy, it's hammed up, but it will live on for a long time, like "All your base" and "Vitoly", because it's one of those things that people love, despite it being so cheesy.

"Come to an end your reign has. Too short it was not."
Yoda smack talking like the best of them.

"So uncivilised."
Nice ANH tie in.

"........................................................................................ "
Jar Jar Binks. Thank Fuck!

'Good is a point of view'

Though that may be cause I've used that line in fanfics before. Then there's Yoda on the 'chosen one' prophecy.

'A prophecy that misread could have been.'

And I hate to tell you 2000AD but Jar Jar did have a line, in the begining of the movie he's with Bail to greet Palpatine and says it as he walks by....

'Scuse me'

Well at least it wasn't something god awful like "exsqueze me" like he's said before IIRC.

At least it explains why Ahmed Best was in the credits.

A - Palps: *calmly* Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?

B - Obi Wan: How can this keep happening? We're smarter than this.
Anakin: Apparantly not.

Those two had some great lines in the first half of the movie. A shame I can't recall the entire exchange caught in the force field.

C - Yoda: To an end, your reign has come. And not short enough, it was....

D- Yoda: If you are so powerful, why leave?

I love that muppet....

E - Anakin: I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hayden earned total redemption as an actor with that line.

F - Vader: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Not as powerful as it could've been, but good enough. As far as over-the-top, cheesy lines go, I prefer this one to "UNLIMITED POWER!!!", which wasn't really that compelling.

Anakin and Obi Wan bantering in the elevator about R2.

ObiWan: R2 was just...
Anakin: No loose wire jokes.
ObiWan: I wasn't...
Anakin: No loose wire jokes.
ObiWan: I never said anything.

Or something like that.

there's a lot of good lines in this movie, so I'll one thatr hasn't been said aready

Yoda:Gone the boy you trained is, consumed by Darth Vader.

For the limited amount of Dialouge Palpatine has, he has turned out some great quotes.

ROTJ:

"So Be it... Jedi..."

"Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side"

"You will pay the price for your lack of vision"

"Only now, at the end, do you understand"

ROTS:

"Are you threatening me Master Jedi?"

"UNLIMITED POWER"

Post by **Kuja** » 2005-05-25 10:51pm

You forgot:

TPM

"Enter the beurocrats, the true rulers of the Republic. And on the payroll of the Trade Federation, I might add. This is where Chancellor Valorum's power will disappear."

AOTC

"I will not allow this Republic, which has stood for a thousand years, to be split in two!"

"I love democracy...I love the Republic. The power you give me, I will lay down when this crisis has abated!"

I didn't even hear "UNLIMITED POWER" when I saw that movie.

Crown · Post by **Crown** » 2005-05-26 09:46am

I loved the way Ewan delivered his line after gate-crashing General Grevious' pary; Hello there!

Old Plympto · Post by **Old Plympto** » 2005-05-26 10:46am

Whatever it was Artoo snickered when Organa ordered Antilles to memory wipe Threepio. He's a sadistic badass, that little droid.

Darth Raptor wrote:Battledroid sidesteps Jedi prisoners to hand Grievous the lightsabers and in a very sarcastic tone, "Excuse me." Grievous snatches the sabers away. "You're welcome." In the same sarcastic tone.

Either battledroids are sentient constructs, or the CIS went to some pretty elaborate and unnecessary lengths to program their remote control units.

Oh, and everyone in my house is sick of me going "No, no, no, NO!" like Palpatine. But he goes "YOU HAVE LOST!" afterwards, not 'you will die'. It's a retort to Windu going "you've lost."

Thier best line was " The scheme is up Jedi!" I laugh every time I hear it

Um, it was "UNLIMITED POWER!", not ultimate. And it's not so much cheesy as amazingly cool. Like everything in that film.

I think people should remember that Star Wars is now and has always been somewhat campy. When they accuse certain lines or scenes of being "cheesy", they are missing the point. Why do you think Trek has slid down the long pathway to oblivion? Because they're so worried about being "mature" and "understated" and "nuanced" that they've forgotten the essential truth that one of the things people loved about the original Star Trek was its campiness.

Just watch TESB sometime and listen to the way the bombastic Imperial March swells whenever Imperial forces show up. This is not subtlety, folks. It's slightly campy space opera. That's what Star Wars has always been, that's what Star Wars should always be. And that's why UNLIMITED POWER is a great line, along with the cackling madman version of Palpatine that we've all missed in the prequels until now.

Dooey Jo · Post by **Dooey Jo** » 2005-05-26 01:26pm

I like pretty much everything Obi-Wan says. Especially his lines after and during the fight with Anakin; "You were the chosen one/my brother" and all that. I can't remember every single he has though, so there might be something there which I don't like. I'll have to see the film again...

Admiral Valdemar · Post by **Admiral Valdemar** » 2005-05-26 01:44pm

I have seen some reviews off people for RotS that slate it for being campy and so on. I can only wonder what these same people would say if they saw the OT today instead of the PT and reviewed it, because most of the "faults" they point out are the very reasons people love SW.

@ Darth Wong:

AMEN!

It's one of those not-quite-serious things that you can just go "holy crap, that's soo cool!" at - like a crapload of stormtroopers and a giant warmachine marching onwards while the Imperial March is playing at full blast. Maybe its a guilty-pleasure thing, or an evil villain cackling and kicking ass while going "UNLIMITED POWER" and stuff.

Compare Palpy's line deliveries in ROTJ to that Unlimited Power nonsense and you'll see why some people think it just clanged in the ears and reduced him to some second stringer four color comic villain.

Palpy tells Luke he's going to kill him in a cold triumphant manner. He sneers, he smiles, he grimaces with effort as he kicks up the lightning a notch but he certainly doesn't act like Doctor Doom on fucking Crack. He cackles in other scenes with glee but when he gets down to business he's as cold as ice. Here we have some cackling moron who looks like a six year old girl holding his hands to his mouth as he enters mortal combat with Yoda as well as delivering a line like "Unlimited Power."

Alexus · Post by **Alexus** » 2005-05-26 02:08pm

ANAKIN: What was that all about?

OBI-WAN: Well, Artoo has been . . .

ANAKIN: No loose wire jokes . . . He's doing the best he can.

OBI-WAN: Did I say anything?

ANAKIN: He's trying!

OBI-WAN: I didn't say anything!

And

OBI-WAN: Another happy landing

That just cracks me up.

Oh, BTW, Palps says you will DIE.

How can he go cool and calm against a foe that will defeat him if he doesn't go all out? The dark side if fuled by passion after all, and Luke was not the threat to Palpatine that Yoda was. When he figths Mace, he's cool and controlled until Anakin gets there, another reason to believe he was holding back against Mace.

With all due respect, that's bullshit. I watched ROTJ literally the same day I watched ROTS for the first time and it's the same guy, only more energetic. If you honestly think there was nothing maniacal about the way he behaved in ROTJ, then I can only surmise that you were temporarily blinded while watching the film.

Honestly, OT purists have never revealed themselves to be so full of shit as they have about issues like this, where a guy who's 20 years younger acts the same but with more energy and they think "OMIGOD GEORGE LUCAS HAS SHIT ALL OVER CANON!!"
