Can You Complete These Iconic Star Wars Scenes With the Correct Quote?

By: Olivia Cantor

Perhaps this is the biggest revelation scene of all time, when Darth Vader was trying to reach out to Luke Skywalker while they were fighting. What did the dark lord say?

It was in "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back" where Luke Skywalker finally discovered where his true father is -- and he's just right there, who kinda defeated him, as he was hanging along a huge post. To receive this kind of news while in that predicament is indeed shocking!

In "Episode IV: A New Hope," Princess Leia was accidentally projected as a hologram beamed by R2-D2. What did her hologram say?

In the very first "Star Wars" film, we get introduced to Princess Leia via her hologram. Luke Skywalker discovers this message accidentally as he was cleaning R2-D2, a droid he didn't realize would change his life in humdrum Tatooine.

Before Luke learned of his true heritage, Darth Vader was trying to recruit him for dark side training -- while the young Jedi-to-be was holding on to a post for dear life. What did he answer in retort?

In "Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back," just before Darth Vader revealed that he is Luke's father, he tried to offer the young Jedi some more tricks of The Force trade, but the darker side kind. However, Luke rejected the offer vehemently, even if he discovered later on that they were related.

In "Episode V," Yoda gets a little frustrated in training the young Luke with the ways of the Jedi. What was his frustrated and definitive command?

Teaching a feisty, energetic and impatient young man to achieve some form of calmness, enhance his concentration and sharpen his intuition could indeed be a challenge for someone as old as Yoda. This legendary quote became a mentor's motto for him, and for all mentors out there, too.

Sometimes, the older version of Obi-Wan Kenobi whispers to Luke as a spirit-like figure, like the time he was about to attack the Death Star in "Episode IV." What did Obi-Wan remind him?

Luke got to help the Rebellion by volunteering as one of the pilot tasked to attack the Death Star. But it's tricky, and sometimes he gets a bit discouraged. Obi-Wan's timeless reminder about The Force indeed helped him like no other pep talk could.

Han Solo sometimes doesn't need extra stress when fighting an Empire assault and flying through an asteroid field. What did he tell C-3PO about that?

Inside the Millennium Falcon with Princess Leia onboard as passenger and Chewbacca co-piloting as usual, Han Solo doesn't want C-3PO to tell him the odds of making it out of their tight situation. So saying this rather curt utterance was indeed a much-needed "stress reliever" by the main pilot.

The lovable droid C-3PO knows how to dish out insults, too, like this retort to R2-D2 as they were trying to reach an escape pod in "Episode IV." What did he say?

We somehow understand what R2-D2 says via the dialogue retorts of C-3PO to him, like this mindless philosopher reply. In stressful situations such as this scene, where they were trying to enter a restricted area to find an escape pod, such stressful dialogue exchanges occur between these droids.

Padmé's rather off-the-cuff comment to Bail Organa in the senate scene produced a brilliant political commentary. What did she say?

Padmé Amidala was so horrified when Palpatine was able to convince other senators to reorganize The Republic and establish the Galactic Empire instead. Her side comment actually bears deeper philosophical insights that foreshadowed the coming events in this saga.

Qui-Gon Jinn tries to advise a kiddie Anakin in an Episode I scene. What poignant thing did he say, before explaining what midichlorians are?

After Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan expressed to his Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn of his same hesitations about the kiddie Anakin's capacity, Qui-Gonn dismisses him and faces the kid. Reassuring him, the Jedi Master gave this advice to Anakin, and to stay close to him as some sort of indirect training.

It was in "Episode VII" when Rey first uttered a line of frustration while "talking" to BB-8. What did she wistfully say?

In "Episode VII: The Force Awakens," Rey meets the droid BB-8 who says that it needs to wait for someone to come along. Wistfully thinking of this thought, Ray shares her own sentiments about waiting, which pertains to her longtime status of waiting for her parents to come back for her.

Darth Vader has many quotes that could be counted as threatening yet poetic, like this quip he said to Admiral Motti. What was it?

In "Episode IV: A New Hope," Admiral Motti made the mistake of criticizing Darth Vader's so-called "devotion to an ancient religion" that is The Force. So of course, the dark lord just had to demonstrate his powers with an invisible choke hold, topped with this legendary quote. Who's ancient now?

Mace Windu advises a younger Obi-Wan Kenobi about his doubts regarding Anakin. What did the Jedi Master say?

In "Episode II: Attack of the Clones," Obi-Wan tries to air his sentiments about Anakin's growing arrogance, and Mace Windu dishes out this piece of advice to him. It was indeed such a conflicted time, since Anakin is prophesied to be something good yet he seems to be going down the bad path.

Supreme Leader Snoke somewhat insulted Kylo Ren in their last encounter together when he compared the young one to his granddad. What did Snoke say?

The evil Supreme Leader Snoke in "Episode VIII: The Last Jedi" had high hopes for Kylo Ren's evil capacity to become the next dark lord leader, but he was greatly disappointed. The complete quote here is "Alas, you're no Vader. You're just a child with a mask." Such a blow to Kylo's ego, this quip.

In the epic battle scene of the Rebel Alliance attacking the Death Star in "Star Wars," Han Solo came back for Luke with a quote to boot. What did the pilot say?

Luke Skywalker was experiencing some pilot trouble, specifically having Imperial enemies on his tail, when Han Solo came to save the day. Luke was supposed to deliver the final blow to the Death Star, and Han cleared the way for him to do so. Now that's great teamwork!

A frustrated Obi-Wan finally had to say it when he defeated the arrogant Anakin in "Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" in the near end. What did the Jedi Knight say?

It was indeed disappointing to see the chosen one do a 180-degree turn and eschew good for evil. That's why we can't blame Obi-Wan when he also said "It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them" and Anakin's bland reply was "I hate you!" He'll have more poetic quotes later, though.

In "Episode VII: The Force Awakens," the audience was also awakened when Kylo Ren addressed Darth Vader's charred helmet-mask and uttered these words. What did he say?

That scene where we discover that Kylo Ren is trying to become like his granddaddy, the destroyed evil one called Darth Vader, came as a surprise and a happy plot twist for many fans. Now, they'll be preoccupied with theorizing how Kylo Ren became who he is, and how he retrieved this helmet, too.

In encountering a young Anakin, Yoda converses with him when he mentioned being afraid. What was the wise Jedi's retort?

Yoda is very much the philosophical quote-generator of this whole film franchise, as everything he says makes the deepest sense. This was manifested when he told baby Anakin this advice: "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."

Shmi, Anakin's mother, encouraged her son to become the best that he is. What did she tell him in "Episode I: The Phantom Menace?"

Shmi Skywalker's sage advice to a young Anakin might seem too advanced for a 9-year-old kid to hear, but seeing that The Force is really strong in this specific kid, he's bound to understand what it truly means. It's also a good reminder for anyone who feels stressed with changes.

Even the tangent film "Rogue One" also produced good quotes, like this reminder Cassian Andor told Jyn Erso on why they're doing what they're doing. What was this reminder?

Cassian Andor is the one who helps Jyn Erso with her quest in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," and also the one who reminds her of the bigger picture of why they're doing the "small mission" they're doing. Jyn Erso also utters this line later on, so it looks like she got the point.

A frustrated Padmé Amidala addressed a body of politicians by saying this anti-politicking line. What was it?

Sometimes it takes huge political will to utter lines that are anti-politicking, actually. This is what Queen Padmé Amidala did when she spoke in front of fellow senate representatives, as a plea to save their planet Naboo.

In discussing a previous encounter, Anakin Skywalker tries to sweeten the talk with Padmé Amidala in a dining scene. What did the Jedi Padawan say?

In a peaceful dining scene in "Episode II: Attack of the Clones," a grown-up Anakin tries some mealtime chit-chat with Queen Amidala, telling her of this time that he had some "aggressive negotiations." When prompted what that meant, he said that lightsabers were involved in the "discussion."

A very frustrated Rey was trying to convince a detached Luke Skywalker about changes in her self. What did she say?

In "Episode VII: The Last Jedi," a starry-eyed Rey finally found the hermit Luke Skywalker's location, hoping to convince him of two things. The first is to go back and help the Rebel Alliance to fight again, and second, to maybe help her make sense of things about her, Force-wise.

It was in "Episode VIII: The Last Jedi" where we finally discover what the older Luke was keeping: Jedi records. What did he say to Yoda about it?

The conflicted Luke merits a ghostly appearance from Jedi Master Yoda's spirit, where he converses with the sage one about ending the Jedi Order for good. It somehow feels like a throwback to their conversation in "The Empire Strikes Back," as Yoda faces the frustrated Luke once again.

Meeting Rey in "Episode VII: The Force Awakens," Han Solo's old friend, Maz Kanata, had this to say about her.

Han Solo's truly old friend, like a thousand years old-old, is the sage-sounding Maz Kanata, who somehow knew what Rey has been feeling all along, especially when the older sage uttered this line to the young one. Before this encounter, though, Maz was looking for Chewbacca, her eternal crush!

Queen Jamillia, Queen Padmé Amidala's successor as the ruler of Naboo, had these very wise words to say to her former queen. What was it?

In "Attack of the Clones," the new Queen of Naboo discussed some politics and philosophy with the old queen. With this insightful statement, Padmé's equally poignant reply was "Let's pray that day never comes." Spoken like a true peace-loving non-political leader.

The saga also had so many cheesy quotes in the past, but this one from Rose Tico might have been the cheesiest for some in "The Last Jedi." What did she say?

Former stormtrooper Finn and a maintenance worker named Rose Tico went together on some accidental adventures in "Episode VIII" which culminated to this fighting-and-flying scene near the end. And that scene also produced this quite cheesy yet lovable quote nonetheless, bringing love back somehow.

When reporting that his powers have been doubling lately, the darker Anakin heard this reply from Count Dooku. What was it?

In "Attack of the Clones," we saw how Count Dooku had become powerful through the dark side, and even fought his previous Jedi colleagues. He was also able to lure Anakin to the dark side, as evident in this scene in "Revenge of the Sith."

Jyn Erso also held her own in "Rogue One," as she rode Cassian's ship with confidence while he had some doubts. What did she say?

This Jyn Erso quote was prompted by a blaster, right before they took off for Jedha, when the droid K-2SO questioned her possession of one. When Cassian Andor tries to take the blaster away from her, this was her retort. Trust the girl, Cassian, trust the girl.

In the very famous and controversial scene discussing whether "Han shot first," what did Greedo tell his opponent?

This very controversial encounter with Greedo, Jabba The Hutt's henchman, and Han Solo inside a bar prompted many "Han shot first" theories and hypotheses from fans about the true condition of who fired first. From this Greedo quote, some say he did shoot first, but of course that's being contested.

A powerful scene in "The Last Jedi" finds General Leia pulling rank on a very insubordinate pilot, Poe Dameron. What did she say?

In this powerful scene, General Leia showed that she's the leader still in command, and she won't let anyone mansplain to her, not even the best pilot they have. That's why she ended up slapping Poe due to his arrogance and apparent misogyny of mouthing off to the women commanding things.

Even a former stormtrooper could utter a line reflecting utmost humanity. What was that line of Finn's?

For a former stormtrooper to develop critical thinking is indeed rare, but Finn showed us that even the most unfeeling figure could care a lot for the galaxy when needed. That's why this line of his remains poignant for the themes that "Episode VII: The Last Jedi" was putting forth.

It's surprising to see how the pilot Poe Dameron could also sound like an arrogant character, especially when he said this reply to General Leia. What did he say?

Between believing BB-8 and Poe, General Leia sided with "the droid on this one" during a scene in "The Last Jedi," to which he sarcastically replied "Thank you for your support, General. Happy beeps." This is conduct unbecoming of an officer for sure, but Leia was regal enough to tolerate it first.

In comparing the Sith and the Jedi to a conflicted Anakin in "Revenge of the Sith," Supreme Chancellor Palpatine had this to say. What was it?

Anakin was somehow defending how the Jedi saw the good in things while the Sith use their powers for things that are not that good. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine disputed this, of course, since we all know where his loyalties really fall.

In "Episode VII," an older Han Solo uttered this line when he was reunited with his old ship. What did he say?

Rey discovered and rescued the Millennium Falcon, not knowing what it was. And when its rightful owner, Han Solo, arrived to claim it back, he uttered this famous line. Chewbacca also couldn't contain his excitement when he saw their old ship, though we just can't understand what he said exactly.

When Kylo Ren finally figured out that he was fighting the "essence" of old Luke in "The Last Jedi," what were the old Jedi's final words to him?

In order to give the Rebel Alliance some lead time, Luke appeared in front of Kylo Ren's way, so the young dark lord-in-the-making fought with his former teacher here. Little did he know that it was a decoy and delaying tactic, hence the funny farewell line by Luke.

About This Quiz

Perhaps there is no quote more popular than "May the force be with you" in the whole of "Star Wars" as a space opera saga. But can you recall in which scenes this iconic line was uttered, and which characters uttered them?

Aye, that could be the rub, to paraphrase Shakespeare. Sometimes, it takes a while to remember the scenes where a lot of the famous "Star Wars" quotes came from, but they are indeed seared into the minds and the consciousnesses of generations of fans. 

Of course, it's understandable to not recall them immediately, since there were only three original films we had fun with before, which were aptly numbered as Episode IV, V, and VI. The original trilogy alone gave us so many great quotes that we still mention today, despite the existence of a prequel trilogy. While that second set of series aimed to give us the back stories of the saga, reception was uneven there, but there were good quotes that came out of that set as well. And even the last two films, Episode VII and VIII, had a handful of great quotes, mostly uttered by the old original cast members. "Rogue One" had a few good ones, too.

So, with all of these films combined, can you see if you can recall the missing quotes of the scenes? Let's see if you can ace this one. 

May the force be with you!
