• (The Emperor) "I'm looking forward to completing your training. In time you will call me master."
• (Mark Hamill) "You're gravely mistaken. You won't convert me as you did my father."

• (David Prowse) "There is no conflict."
• (Mark Hamill) "You couldn't bring yourself to kill me before and I don't believe you'll destroy me now."
• (David Prowse) "You underestimate the power of the Dark Side. If you will not fight, then you will meet your destiny."

• (Mark Hamill) "Vader's on that ship."
• (Han Solo) "Now don't get jittery, Luke. There are a lot of command ships. Keep your distance, though, Chewie, but don't look like you're trying to keeping your distance."
• (Han Solo) "I don't know. Fly casual."

• (Mark Hamill) "Search your feelings, Father, you can't do this. I feel the conflict within you. Let go of your hate."

• (Obi-Wan) "Yoda and I will always be with you."
• (Mark Hamill) "Obi-Wan."
• (Mark Hamill) "Ben. Why didn't you tell me? You told me that Darth Vader betrayed and murdered my father."
• (Obi-Wan) "Your father -- was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He ceased to be the Jedi Anakin Skywalker and "became" the Sith Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So, what I told you was true -- from a certain point of view."
• (Mark Hamill) "A certain point of view?"
• (Obi-Wan) "Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view. Anakin was a good friend. When I first met him, your father was already a great pilot. But I was amazed how strongly the Force was with him. I took it upon myself to train him as a Jedi. I thought that I could instruct him just as well as Yoda. I was wrong."
• (Mark Hamill) "There is still good in him."
• (Obi-Wan) "He's more machine now than man. Twisted and evil."
• (Mark Hamill) "I can't do it, Ben."
• (Obi-Wan) "You cannot escape your destiny. You must face Darth Vader again."
• (Mark Hamill) "I can't kill my own father."
• (Obi-Wan) "Then the Emperor has already won. You were our only hope."
• (Mark Hamill) "Yoda spoke of another."
• (Obi-Wan) "The other he spoke of is your twin sister."
• (Mark Hamill) "But I have no sister."
• (Obi-Wan) "Hmm. To protect you both from the Emperor, you were hidden from your father when you were born. The Emperor knew, as I did, if Anakin were to have any offspring, they would be a threat to him. That is the reason why your sister remains safely anonymous."
• (Mark Hamill) "Leia. Leia is my sister."
• (Obi-Wan) "Your insight serves you well. Bury your feelings deep down, Luke. They do you credit, but they could be made to serve the Emperor."

• (Mark Hamill) "Master Yoda -- is Darth Vader my father?"
• (Yoda) "Rest I need. Yes. Rest."
• (Mark Hamill) "Yoda, I must know. If you know, tell me."
• (Yoda) "Your father he is."
• (Yoda) "Told you, did he?"
• (Mark Hamill) "Yes."
• (Yoda) "Unexpected this is. And unfortunate."
• (Mark Hamill) "Unfortunate that I know the truth?"
• (Yoda) "No. Unfortunate that you rushed to face him -- that incomplete was your training. That -- not ready for the burden were you."

• (The Emperor) "You're hate has made you powerful. Now fulfill your destiny, take you're father's place by my side."
• (Mark Hamill) "Never I'll never turn to the dark side"
• (Mark Hamill) "You failed your highness, I am a Jedi like my father before me."
• (The Emperor) "So be it,Jedi."

• (Han Solo) "I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big bright blur."
• (Mark Hamill) "There's nothing to see. I used to live here, you know."
• (Han Solo) "You're gonna die here, you know. Convenient."

• (The Emperor) "Come, boy, see for yourself. From here, you will witness the final destruction of the Alliance and the end of your insignificant rebellion."
• (The Emperor) "You want this, don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it. Give in to your anger. With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant."
• (Mark Hamill) "No."
• (The Emperor) "It is unavoidable. It is your destiny. You, like your father, are now mine."

• (Mark Hamill) "If I don't make it back, you're the only hope for the Alliance."
• (Carrie Fisher) "Luke, don't talk that way. You have a power I don't understand and could never have."
• (Mark Hamill) "You're wrong, Leia. You have that power too. In time you'll learn to use it as I have. The Force runs strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. And -- my sister has it. Yes. It's you, Leia."
• (Carrie Fisher) "I know. Somehow, I've always known."

Anthony Daniels as C-3PO

• (Anthony Daniels) "Wonderful. We are now a part of the tribe."
• (Han Solo) "Just what I always wanted."

• (General Madine) "We have stolen a small Imperial shuttle. Disguised as a cargo ship, and using a secret Imperial code, a strike team will land on the moon and deactivate the shield generator."
• (Anthony Daniels) "It sounds dangerous."
• (Carrie Fisher) "Who have they found to pull that off?"
• (General Madine) "General Solo, is your strike team assembled?"

• (Anthony Daniels) "I never knew I had it in me."

• (Anthony Daniels) "I do believe they think I am some sort of god."
• (Han Solo) "Well, why don't you use your divine influence and get us out of this?"
• (Anthony Daniels) "I beg your pardon General Solo, but that just wouldn't be proper."
• (Han Solo) "Proper?"
• (Anthony Daniels) "It's against my programming to impersonate a deity."

• (Anthony Daniels) "I have decided that we shall stay here."

• (Anthony Daniels) "R2, why did you have to be so brave?"

• (Anthony Daniels) "Toronto? Gosh."

• (EV-9D9) "Ah, new acquisitions. You are a protocol droid, are you not?"
• (Anthony Daniels) "I am C-3PO, human/cyborg --"
• (EV-9D9) "Yes or no will do."
• (Anthony Daniels) "Umm -- yes."
• (EV-9D9) "How many languages do you speak?"
• (Anthony Daniels) "I am fluent in over six million forms of communication, and can readily --"
• (EV-9D9) "Splendid. We have been without an interpreter since our master got angry with our last protocol droid and disintegrated him."
• (Anthony Daniels) "Disintegrated?"

• (Anthony Daniels) "I'm rather embarrassed, General Solo, but it appears that you are to be the main course at a banquet in my honor."

• (Anthony Daniels) "Your Royal Highness."
• (Carrie Fisher) "But these are my friends. 3PO, tell them they must be set free."
• (Han Solo) "Somehow I got the feeling that didn't work very much."

• (Anthony Daniels) "His high exaltedness, the Great Jabba the Hutt, has decreed that you are to be terminated immediately."
• (Han Solo) "Good, I hate long waits."
• (Anthony Daniels) "You will therefore be taken to the Dune Sea, and cast into the pit of Carkoon, the nesting place of the all-powerful Sarlaac."
• (Han Solo) "Doesn't sound so bad."
• (Anthony Daniels) "In his belly you will find a new definition of pain and suffering as you are slowly digested over a thousand years."
• (Han Solo) "On second thought, let's pass on that, huh?"

• (Anthony Daniels) "What could possibly have come over Master Luke? Is it something I did? He never expressed any unhappiness with my work."

• (Anthony Daniels) "At last, Master Luke's come to rescue me."
• (Bib Fortuna) "Master."
• (Bib Fortuna) "May I present Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight?"
• (Jabba the Hutt) "I told you not to admit him."
• (Mark Hamill) "I must be allowed to speak."
• (Bib Fortuna) "He must be allowed to speak."
• (Jabba the Hutt) "You weak minded fool. He's using an old Jedi mind trick."
• (Mark Hamill) "You will bring Captain Solo and the Wookiee to me."
• (Jabba the Hutt) "Your mind powers will not work on me, boy."
• (Mark Hamill) "Nevertheless, I'm taking Captain Solo and his friends with me. You can either profit by this or be destroyed. It's your choice, but I warn you not to underestimate my powers."
• (Jabba the Hutt) "There will be no bargain, my young Jedi. I shall enjoy watching you die."

David Prowse as Darth Vader

• (David Prowse) "Give yourself to the Dark Side. It is the only way you can save your friends. Yes, your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for -- sister. So, you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her, too. Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete. If you will not turn to the Dark Side -- then perhaps she will."

• (Anthony Daniels) "We're leaving? But, what about Master Luke?"
• (Anthony Daniels) "I thought he was going to rescue Captain Solo?"
• (Anthony Daniels) "You mean, we're going to that horrible fortress alone?"
• (Anthony Daniels) "We're doomed."
• (Anthony Daniels) "Of course I'm frightened, and you should be, too. Lando Calrissian and poor Chewbacca never return from this awful place."
• (Anthony Daniels) "Don't be so sure. If I told you half the things I've heard about this Jabba the Hutt, you'd probably short-circuit."

• (David Prowse) "I see you have constructed a new light saber. Your skills are complete. Indeed you are powerful as the Emperor has foreseen."

• (David Prowse) "Do they have a code clearance?"
• (Admiral Piett) "It's an older code, sir, but it checks out. I was about to clear them."

• (David Prowse) "What is thy bidding, my master?"
