Star Wars Is Turning 30

Best:

Leia: "I'd sooner kiss a wookie!"
Han: "I can arrange that!"

Leia: "I love you"
Han: "I know"

Han (upon seeing the wounded Leia concealing a blaster pistol):
"I love you"
Leia (before blasting the storm trooper behind him)
"I know"

Worst:
The re-released Han/Greedo shoot-out where Greedo actually gets a wild shot off.
Totally ruined the bad-ass factor of the original scene. WHY WHY WHY!?

Darth Maul : "....."
(dude didn't have ANY pithy, cool lines...totally unfair to one so utterly bad-ass)

After Eps 1,2,3 it's bloody obvious which side of the family Luke inherited all his whining from...(Anakin, I'm lookin' your way, buddy);

Also, you'd think fessing up to slaughtering a whole village of Sandpeople in a mad rage might make Padme think twice about where the relationship was going, etc.

I still love the Robot Chicken take on the aftermath of the destruction of the Death Star...damn that's LOL funny...

Best Star Wars spin-off: LUCAS IN LOVE (a parody of SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE)

I also loved Luke whining...

LUKE: But I was going into Toshi Station to pick up some power converters!

Best:

Solo: Sometimes I even amaze myself.
Leia: That doesn't sound very hard to do

Luke: The reward would be... well, more that you could imagine
Han: I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit.
(a phrase often used in our household)

Leia: Somebody get this walking carpet out of my way

Han: Anytime he says "your worship" to Leia.

Darth Vader: I find your lack of faith... disturbing

Best light saber action: Episode 1 - Darth Maul rocks.

Worst:
Fight scene between yoda and Emperor - if you have practiced the force for 800+ years and still can't beat a young upstart that only had one teacher, somethin's wrong.

JarJar: Ani! Ani!
(or anytime he opens his mouth)

All critical electrical components for underwater craft must be routed through the glove compartment.

Best lines:
"Don't fail me again, Admiral", when Darth Vader "promotes" the former captain to admiral and demotes the former admeral to corpse.

Actually, everone else got the good lines already.

Worst lines: Basically anything by Jar Jar (aka purgatory for Star Wars fans) and Luke and Leia's mother.

"If you cut me down I will become more powerful than you could ever imagine." (or something to that effect), Obi-wan from 4.

Best scene in the series:
When the big fish tries to swallow the sub and is eaten by a bigger fish (actually, this was the only good scene in episode 1).

Best use of the story-telling technique I like to call "not beating us over the head with a plot point": That Anakin is the son of the Sith lord that trained the emperor.

Mainly from the first (not verified for accuracy):

"You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought."

"Good." (Luke after Han says he's not that keen on Leia) (followed by "No!", when Han asks Luke if he thinks Leia could go for a guy like him).

"I've got a new plan, R-2. Let the Wookiee win."

"It's not my fault."

"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainry."

"These aren't the droids you're looking for."

"No, just gas." Hey, come on. If you're counting _The Phantom Menace_ as part of the series, you've got to count "Hardware Wars."

My Favorite Line...

Leia: Why, you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder!

Han: Who's scruffy-lookin?

I still use the Han line whenever anyone insults me for any reason, just to throw them off a little bit. Ford's delivery was perfect...

Worst:

"A death mark's not an easy thing to live with."

General Rieekan (to Han Solo) shortly before attempting to cauterize a minor head wound with his blaster. (I can dream)
