Kid, I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe there’s one all-powerful Force controlling everything. There’s no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. It’s all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan– Leave that to me. Send a distress signal, and inform the Senate that all on board were killed.

I need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I’m getting too old for this sort of thing. Leave that to me. Send a distress signal, and inform the Senate that all on board were killed. Ye-ha! Dantooine. They’re on Dantooine.

Don’t underestimate the Force.

Hey, Luke! May the Force be with you. What good is a reward if you ain’t around to use it? Besides, attacking that battle station ain’t my idea of courage. It’s more like…suicide. I can’t get involved! I’ve got work to do! It’s not that I like the Empire, I hate it, but there’s nothing I can do about it right now. It’s such a long way from here.
