How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Star Wars: A New Hope.
Quote #1
C-3PO: Hey! You're not permitted in there. It's restricted. You'll be deactivated for sure.
C-3PO: Don't you call me a mindless philosopher you overweight glob of grease. Now come out before somebody sees you.
C-3PO: Secret mission? What plans? What are you talking about? I'm not getting in there.
C-3PO: I'm going to regret this.
R2-D2's hopes are what get this whole story started. He wants to complete his mission and find Obi-Wan Kenobi, and it is the little astrodroid's drive that sees the Rebel's victory at the movie's end. C-3PO just doesn't want to be shot at, and you got to respect that. We don't imagine laser burns are pleasant.
Quote #2
LUKE: Yes, sir. I think those new droids are gonna work out fine. In fact, I, uh, was also thinking about our agreement, about me staying on another season? And if these new droids do work out, I want to transmit my application to the academy this year.
OWEN: You mean the next semester before the harvest?
LUKE: Sure. There's more than enough droids.
Luke's dream is to escape from his home planet and see the universe; his uncle's hope is that Luke will take up moisture farming and not seek adventure like his father—we all know what happened to that guy. Like much of the film, the collisions of character desires are what create conflicts.
Quote #3
HAN: Yes, Greedo. As a matter of fact, I was just going to see your boss. Tell Jabba that I've got his money.
GREEDO: It's too late. You should have paid him when you had the chance. Jabba's put a price on your head so large every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you. I'm lucky I found you first.
HAN: Yeah, but this time I've got the money.
Han doesn't want to be killed for the money he owes Jabba. It's not the loftiest of goals, but it makes sense. You can only pull the gun-under-the-table trick so many times before the Greedos of the universe catch on.
