―Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, prior to their first confrontation[src]

―Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles, shortly before the Battle of Yavin[src]

Luke: "You can't."

Tenel: "It's the best-defended bush within a dozen parsecs."
―Luke Skywalker and Tenel Ka Djo[src]
Luke: "I won't fail you. I'm not afraid."
Yoda: "Oh, you will be. You will be."
―Luke Skywalker and Yoda[src]
Luke: "There's something not right here. I feel cold... death."

Luke: "What's in there?"
Yoda: "Only what you take with you."
―Luke Skywalker, training with Yoda[src]

"Bionic right hand, I love you!"
―Luke Skywalker, saved from a sticky situation[src]

―Luke Skywalker[src]
Yavin Base: "Luke, you switched off your targeting computer. What's wrong?"

Luke: "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Mara: "If I wanted to tell you, I would, wouldn't I?"

Luke: "You bought me this shirt."
―Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker[src]
Luke: "Quietly. There might be more of them out there."
Han Solo: "Hey. It's me."
―Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, engaging in stealth on Endor[src]

Luke: "I'll never join you!"
Vader: "If you only knew the power of the dark side!"
―Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker[src]

―Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker, shortly after Darth Caedus threatened the Jedi Academy[src]
Luke: "What a piece of junk!"

―Luke Skywalker, upon first seeing Han Solo's Millennium Falcon[src]
Han: "Look at the size of it! It's way too big to be a… a space… station. Oh boy."
Luke: "Ben, you're right. I have a very bad feeling about this."
Han: "So you get those too?"
―Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, approaching the first Death Star[src]
"And then there's Aeona Cantor. She's not my love interest – she's Nick's girlfriend, and that's the whole story. Anyway, she's not my type. Too abrasive. And I don't like redheads."
―Luke Skywalker, on his taste in women[src]
Luke: "What's one of the first things you learned in training to be a Jedi?"
Ben: "Don't cut your own head off with your lightsaber."
Luke: "After that."
Ben: "Your eyes can deceive you. Be mindful of your feelings. Girls are fun but dangerous. Lando has extra cards up his sleeve."
Luke: "Well, the truth is in there somewhere…"
―Luke and Ben Skywalker, on the diverse training of the New Jedi Order[src]
Luke: "Ben, what is our purpose as Jedi?"
Ben: "Well… to keep the Force in balance and to help people stay in balance with the Force. To detect wrongs and make them right. To serve as models for very attractive lines of boots."
Luke: "Let's go back one."
―Luke Skywalker, helping his son focus on their shared objective[src]
Ben: "We're choosing new names?"
Luke: "No."
Ben: "Oh. That's sad. I was looking forward to being Sparky."
Luke: "Sounds like a name for a monkey-lizard."
Ben: "And you could be Grand Master Whango Mittphool."
Luke: "Not in this lifetime."
―Ben Skywalker and Luke Skywalker[src]
Han: "To think I once had a military career."
Luke: "You had a military career. You made the rank of general, then retired."
Han: "Don't rub it in."
Luke: "Can you do two hundred push-ups?"
Han: "Shut up."
―Han Solo and Luke Skywalker[src]
Luke: "You don't believe in the Force, do you?"
Han: "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."
―Luke Skywalker and Han Solo[src]
Luke: "You will bring Captain Solo and the Wookiee to me."
Jabba: «Ho, ho, ho. Your mind powers will not work on me, boy.»
―Luke Skywalker, failing to mind-trick Jabba the Hutt[src]
Ben: "Jedi Skywalkers. Practicing a fine family tradition of rescuing people from the dark side."
Luke: "Hey, there are worse family traditions."
Ben: "Like Aunt Leia's spiceloaf."
Luke: "You think the dark side is scary, you say that to her."
Ben: "I won't. I like my body intact, thank you very much."
―Ben and Luke Skywalker[src]
Vader: "Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father."
Luke: "He told me enough. He told me you killed him."

Luke: "No! No!"
―Darth Vader, revealing the truth to Luke Skywalker[src]
Luke: "Hungry?"
Ben: "I'm sixteen. Of course I'm hungry."
―Luke and Ben Skywalker[src]
Ben: "I got my brains from Mom."
Luke: "As well as your tendency toward verbal abuse."
―Ben and Luke Skywalker[src]
Luke: "I activated my lightsaber first. That's not what Jedi do. We protect and defend those who can't defend themselves. So I failed my first test on the whole light side–dark side thing pretty miserably."
Ben: "You know, it gives me hope that you screwed up so badly and so consistently as a kid, Dad."
―Luke and Ben Skywalker[src]
Luke: "Listen, friend, we didn't mean to land in that puddle, and if we could get our ship out, we would, but we can't, so why don't you just—"
Yoda: "Awww, cannot get your ship out!"
―Yoda, teasing Luke Skywalker[src]
Luke: "He kept calling me 'Skywalker'. Because I don't have a title—I'm not a Senator, I'm not a general any longer, I'm not an ambassador. He used the word like an insult."
Mara: "He could have called you 'Master'. Like I do sometimes."
―Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker, on Fyor Rodan[src]
Luke: "Master, moving stones around is one thing. This is totally different!"
Yoda: "No! No different! Only different in your mind."
―Yoda, teaching Luke Skywalker to lift his X-wing[src]

―Luke Skywalker, to shadow stormtroopers under the command of Lord Shadowspawn[src]
"Son, go beat her up."
―Luke Skywalker, giving uncharacteristic advice to Ben[src]
Luke: "Tell you what, if you think it's wrong for you to think of them as ugly, just think of how you look to them. Short, squat, unlined skin, a nose that puffs up like a rodent, tiny little mouth with jagged white things in it, a horrible shrub-like growth on your head."
Ben: "This, from the man who's worn a bowl-cut hairstyle almost all his adult life."
―Luke and Ben Skywalker, discussing how the Kel Dor view Humans and Luke's dated hairstyle[src]
Ben: "Dad. Jacen. Coruscant. Answers."
Luke: "I don't like it that you can win an argument without using verbs."
―Ben and Luke Skywalker[src]
Emperor: "I'm looking forward to completing your training. In time you will call me master."
Luke: "You're gravely mistaken. You won't convert me as you did my father."
Emperor: "Oh, no, my young Jedi. You will find that it is you who are mistaken, about a great many things."
―Emperor Palpatine, welcoming Luke Skywalker on the Death Star II[src]
"The future is to be lived, not prearranged."
―Luke Skywalker[src]
Yoda: "Stubborn and hard is your head. Soften it we will."
Luke: "I stood on my head to soften it?"
Yoda: "Mysterious are the ways of the Force."
Luke: "Did you just make me stand on my head for two hours because I was annoying you?"
Yoda: "Very mysterious."
―Luke Skywalker and Yoda[src]
Luke: "Boy, am I gonna get it. You know, that little droid is gonna cause me a lot of trouble."

―Luke Skywalker and C-3PO, after R2-D2 has escaped the Lars homestead[src]
"You're lucky you don't taste very good."
―Luke Skywalker, after a dragonsnake spits out R2-D2 (in original theatrical version)[src]
Plif: "Splendid to see you again, Luke."
Luke: "Hi, Plif. I've missed you, too."
Plif: "And surrounded by Zeltron young ladies again, I see."
Luke: "I'm getting used to it."
―Plif and Luke Skywalker, meeting on Zeltros[src]
Ben: "I have our tactic."
Luke: "Yes?"
Ben: "When the rocks fall, we get out of the way."
Luke: "Thank you for reducing our task to its basic components. Come on."
―Ben and Luke Skywalker, debating how to deal with a rockfall trap[src]
Luke: "Master Yoda, are you content? You've been alone for so long..."
Yoda: "Alone? No. Always the past to keep me company. The creatures on the planet, and the Force. And now you. Annoying though you may be."
―Luke Skywalker and Yoda, on Dagobah[src]
Luke: "All right, well, take care of yourself, Han. I guess that's what you're best at, isn't it?"
Han: "Hey, Luke... may the Force be with you."
―Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, before the Battle of Yavin[src]
Luke: "Your emotions betray you."
Ben: "Your emotions wander around short-sheeting beds and putting everyone's hands in bowls of warm water."
Luke: "Would you please stop saying things like that?"
Ben: "Sorry. I just got tired of hearing the same old phrases, the same old way, year after year. I think that's why Master Yoda mangled his Basic for the archival recordings. After nine hundred years, he was sick of hearing the same old things the same old way. Use the same cliché phrases too long and people stop hearing their message, you know?"
―Luke Skywalker and Ben Skywalker[src]
Han: "Stay sharp. There's two more coming in. They're gonna try and cut us off."
Luke: "Well, why don't you outrun 'em? I thought you said this thing was fast!"
Han: "Watch your mouth, kid, or you're gonna find yourself floating home."
―Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, on the Millennium Falcon[src]
Ben: "Dad, what if we're completely wrong?"
Luke: "I'm always prepared to entertain that suggestion. The universe is nothing if not humbling."
―Ben Skywalker and Luke Skywalker[src]
Luke: "A Jedi without a lightsaber—"
Ben: "Is a lot less dashing to the girls."
Luke: "Not what I was going to say, but probably true."
―Luke Skywalker and Ben Skywalker[src]
Ben: "Dad, is it true that Teneniel Djo tried to marry you against your will?"
Luke: "If marry is the word, yes. So be careful who you smile at around here. I'm not ready to be a grandfather. Or even a father-in-law."
Ben: "Don't worry. What are my prospects here? A bunch of women who are used to ruling their men, and one Sith girl."
―Ben and Luke Skywalker[src]
Ben: "Your thoughts betray you."
Luke: "I'm going to shake you so hard… I'm certain that you got nothing through the Force about my thoughts."
Ben: "Not everything is the Force, Dad. First you looked off in the direction where we had our traps and bodies and so forth the other night. Then you scanned the tree line all around, but not the lake. So you were thinking about avenues of approach toward the camp, which meant enemies, which meant Nightsisters. You checked the sun, which, since it's usually there, means you were really estimating time until sundown, so you were asking how much time minimum we had before the Nightsisters attack."
Luke: "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to let you train with the Guard. You think you might be happier dispensing caf or sketching caricatures?"
―Ben Skywalker makes good use of his GAG training against his father[src]
Ben: "I've… got a strange feeling."
Luke: "What is it?"
Ben: "As if… as if I've been here before!"
Luke: "If I weren't such a tolerant parent I'd box your ears."
Vestara: "I'll do it."
Ben: "You would."
―Jedi Ben and Luke Skywalker and Sith Vestara Khai, on approach to the Maw[src]
Ben: "Mind reading a new Force power you picked up and forgot to tell me about?"
Luke: "No. I'm your father. That's my job."
―Ben and Luke Skywalker[src]
Vergere: "Do you know the definition of a master of defense?"
Luke: "Tell me."
Vergere: "A master of defense is one who is never in the place that is attacked."
―Vergere and Luke Skywalker[src]
Yoda: "Mysterious are the ways of the Force."
Luke: "Did you just make me stand on my head for two hours because I was annoying you?"
Yoda: "Very mysterious."
―Yoda trains Luke Skywalker[src]
Vastor: "It's so…dead. Nothing but stone and corpses. Everything dead. Dead within. Dead without. Dead forever."
Luke: "Not everything. You're alive, Kar. I'm alive."
Vastor: "That means nothing. We mean nothing."
Luke: "We're the only meaning there is. Trust me or kill me, Kar. In the end, it'll come out the same. I will not harm you."
Vastor: "What are you? What do you want from me?"
Luke: "I'm a Jedi. My name is Luke Skywalker. And I want you to take my hand."
―Luke Skywalker saves Kar Vastor[src]
Gaalan: "You are Grand Master Luke Skywalker."
Luke: "My son, Ben. Our friend Dyon Stadd."
Gaalan: "I am Lord Viun Gaalan, the last man you will ever meet. Much admiration will be accorded me for killing Luke Skywalker. Especially by the family of Lady Rhea, whom you slew."
Luke: "No, you aren't, and no, it won't."
―Viun Gaalan and Luke Skywalker exchange "pleasantries" before battle[src]
"None of the stories people tell about me can change who I really am."
―Luke Skywalker[src]
Luke: "You know what I like about coming to worlds so backrocket that no one watches the news broadcasts?"
Han: "What?"
Luke: "No one ever says, You look taller on the 'Net."
―Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, on Dathomir[src]
Leia: "Quick, we've got to get across! Find the controls that extend the bridge."
Luke: "I think I just blasted it...."
―Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, fleeing stormtroopers on the Death Star[src]
Han Solo: "Easier to ask forgiveness than permission, huh kid? You're getting more and more like me all the time. You might even start to look as good as me one of these days."
Luke: "No thanks, I don't want to look like a grumpy, thickheaded, craggy-faced old man."
Han Solo: "Who's craggy-faced?"
―Han Solo and Luke Skywalker[src]
Luke: "You're a clever young woman, Vestara. It took us quite a while to realize that you hadn't paid Monarg for repairs to the yacht, that you'd sold it to him for just enough to send your message home. And then begun running around the rain forest to draw us off, as a diversion."
Vestara: "It was an interesting tour. And then, of course, I met the Nightsisters and dedicated myself to their destruction."
Luke: "Yes, of course. Ben, roll your eyes for me, would you? I'm out of practice."
―Luke Skywalker and Vestara Khai, after her capture[src]
Vader: "The Emperor has been expecting you."
Luke: "I know…father."
Vader: "So, you have accepted the truth?"
Luke: "I've accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skywalker, my father."
Vader: "That name no longer has any meaning for me!"
Luke: "It is the name of your true self. You've only forgotten."
―Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker[src]
Kar Vastor: "I have known Jedi. Many, many years ago. That knowing was not a gladness for me. I believed I would never know another, and I rejoiced in that belief. But it is a gladness for me to be proven wrong. I am happy to have known you, Jedi Luke Skywalker. You are more than they were."
Luke: "That's—I mean, thanks, but I barely know anything."
Kar Vastor: "So you believe. But I say to you: you are greater than the Jedi of former days."
Luke: "What makes you say that?"
Kar Vastor: "Because unlike the Knights of old, Jedi Luke Skywalker… you are not afraid of the dark."
―Kar Vastor and Luke Skywalker[src]
Anakin: "Luke, help me take this mask off."
Luke: "But you'll die!"
Anakin: "Nothing can stop that now. Just for once, let me look on you with my own eyes."
―The final wish of a redeemed Anakin Skywalker[src]
Leia: "Listen to me – we're never going to have a tidy family tree. Why can't you realize? We're never going to know our parents better than we do right now. We're never going to have fond stories of our grandparents to tell our children. We're better off telling them about Owen and Beru, about Bail – the real people who cared for us, protected us, loved us like we were their own. You make too much of blood."
Luke: "It's more than blood—"
Leia: "I don't care. You can't invent a normal childhood for us, no matter how much you turn up about Mother and Father. And if you do find the truth, as you call it, you just might find you don't like it very much. You might end up wishing you'd let them stay dead."
Luke: "Could anything be worse than what we already know?"
Leia: "I'd rather not know the answer to that question."
―Leia Organa Solo and Luke Skywalker[src]
Han: "C'mon, Luke—nobody ends up living their lives the way they expect."
Luke: "No? I can think of this one guy—got his own ship, resigned his commission, got the military off his back, pretty much does whatever he wants to do, mostly just flying around the galaxy with his copilot rescuing princesses and such, accountable to no one but himself—"
Han: "Accountable to no one? Are you kidding me? Luke, have you ever met your sister? Luke Skywalker of Tatooine, let me introduce Princess Leia Organa of whouf—!"
Leia: "Of the Extremely Sharp Elbow."
―Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa[src]
Taalon: "I'm aware that you Jedi don't place the same value on discipline as we Sith do, but surely when a father gives a command, he expects his son to obey."
Luke: "That works for you? With teenagers? I hope you don't expect me to believe that."
―Sith High Lord Sarasu Taalon and Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker[src]
Taalon: "When our work together is done, I'm very much looking forward to killing you."
Luke: "We all need a dream, Lord Taalon."
―Sarasu Taalon and Luke Skywalker[src]
Luke: "I have a few…associates accompanying me."
Lando: "Associates, eh? What kind of associates? Not swindlers and scoundrels keeping the noble Luke Skywalker company, surely."
Luke: "Er…They're, um,…well, they're Sith, actually."
Lando: "S-Sith?"
Luke: "Sith. Quite a few of them. It's…a long story."
Lando: "No kidding. I'll want that story in addition to my fee, Skywalker."
―Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian, regarding Luke's alliance with the Lost Tribe of Sith in the Mission to the Maw[src]
Luke: "Wedge, it's good to have you here."
Wedge: "Speaking of which…"
Luke: "No, you're not being paid."
―Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles[src]
Ben: "It was the smoke. I picked it up on the Shadow's sensors and thought there might be a…a problem."
Taalon: "A fight, you mean. And so you crossed the ridge on foot, because you thought we would still be in combat…an hour later?"
Ben: "Well, yeah. There are two of you, so I thought it would take Dad a while to finish you off."
Luke: "Your lack of faith hurts me. Clearly, we need to elevate your training sessions."
―Sith High Lord Sarasu Taalon, Ben Skywalker, and Luke Skywalker[src]
Ben: "Don't get killed, Dad. You know what it did to Fett. I don't want to end up like him."
Luke: "Filthy rich?"
―Ben and Luke Skywalker, shortly before the latter participates in an assault on Fondor[src]
Luke: "And there's something else. I sensed a disturbance in the Force."
Ben: "That's... hardly ever a good thing."
―Luke Skywalker and Ben Skywalker[src]
Luke: "A Jedi without a lightsaber—"
Ben: "Is a lot less dashing to the girls."
Luke: "Not what I was going to say, but probably true."
―Luke and Ben Skywalker[src]
Ben: "My dad neglects and abuses me."
Luke: "True, and when you become a father, you'll discover how much fun that is."
―Luke and Ben Skywalker on Nam Chorios[src]
Ben: "We're cleared to dock on spar three, module eleven. They're requesting our trade manifest."
Luke: "Transmit 'three occupants, combat and insurgency skills.'"
Ben: "That's not even a lie."
Luke: "Sometimes a Jedi must deal with the disappointment of having to tell the truth."
―Luke and Ben Skywalker, on approach to a space station disguised as a smuggling ship[src]
Ben: "In the future, I suggest that we only ever fight guys who set up their lairs in posh hotel suites. With sunlight and buffets and sanisteams and dancers."
Luke: "Son, if you could figure out how to make that a reality, I'd make you the head of the Jedi Order."
Ben: [shuddering] "Pretend I never said that."
―Luke and Ben Skywalker[src]
Mara: "Luke, I don't want to discourage your curiosity, but I have to remind you, if something goes wrong, this is an exceptionally embarrassing way to die."
Luke: "I'll trust you to improve the story. Luke Skywalker goes out in a blaze of glory in battle with a red devourer."
―Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker on Yuuzhan Vong–controlled Coruscant[src]
Luke: "We built junk racers more sophisticated than this out of spare parts when I was ten."
Ben: "Back in the old days. Back during the Empire. Back when starships were made of wood. Back when there were no holodramas, just puppet shows. Back when a hypercomm system was a long string stretched between two planets with a durasteel caf cup at either end…"
Luke: "You're not helping."
―Luke and Ben Skywalker, attempting to repair a shuttle[src]
Mara: "Stupid, stupid. A big fat diversion—the oldest trick on the list. And I fell for it like some dumb farm kid."
Luke: "Watch your language."
―Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker, on Nirauan[src]
"Do you really want to take me on right now? I don't recommend it."
―Luke Skywalker, to a rancor[src]
"Every generation has its challenges to face, its own battles to win. Why should yours be any different? Running away from your responsibilities won't solve anything."
―Luke Skywalker's Force ghost speaking to his descendant, Cade Skywalker[src]
Luke: "Did you really cheat him?"
Lando: "Luke, among men of business, cheat is a subjective, relative term. It's open to some very broad interpretations."
Luke: "Great."
―Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian, concerning Barpotomous Drebble[src]
"There are times when the end justifies the means. But when you build an argument based on a whole series of such times, you may find that you've constructed an entire philosophy of evil."
―Luke Skywalker, near the beginning of the Second Galactic Civil War[src]
Ben: "Dad—you gave Coruscant to the Lost Tribe?"
Luke: "I laid a trap. That's quite a bit different. The Lost Tribe believes it has a destiny to rule the galaxy. What better way to take a huge step toward fulfilling that destiny than to infiltrate Coruscant?"
Ben: "Uh, Dad, you maybe forgot one little thing."
Luke: "And that might be?"
Ben: "Sith have infiltrated Coruscant!"
―Ben and Luke Skywalker discuss the finer points of Luke's plan to ensnare the Lost Tribe[src]
Jabba: «I told you not to admit him.»
Luke: "I must be allowed to speak."
Fortuna: «He must be allowed to speak.»
Jabba: «You weak-minded fool! He's using an old Jedi mind trick.»
―Jabba the Hutt, frustrated with Bib Fortuna for being influenced by Luke Skywalker[src]
Luke: "Maybe I'm too set in my ways to believe that someone who was born Sith, raised Sith, and grew up surrounded by Sith can set that aside enough to become a Jedi."
Jaina: "Well, I would have used the word crotchety myself, but yes, that's what I'm thinking."
―Luke Skywalker and Jaina Solo, regarding Vestara Khai's wish to be trained as a Jedi[src]
Luke: "So you see, there never was any real danger. All flash—no crash. Everybody happy?"
Shira: "You want to hit him?"
Lando: "Ladies first."
―Luke Skywalker apologizes to Shira Brie and Lando Calrissian for faking the bombing of Cloud City[src]
Rieekan: "You, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and your droids will serve as the assault squad. That is, if you 'volunteer'."
Luke: "I guess we do."
C-3PO: "We do?! Oh why did I ever leave the diplomatic service? All this adventure!"
―Carlist Rieekan, Luke Skywalker and C-3PO, before a dangerous mission[src]
Luke: "I'll have my light-sabers... and you can have your blasters... or any clubs and blades the Tofs we captured were carrying. What else could you ask for?"
Hirog: "Ah... reinforcements? A fast ship to take us home? Lunch?"
―Luke Skywalker, trying to encourage Hirog and the Hiromi to fight with the Alliance[src]
Raynar: "I don't understand what you mean by 'There is no try.' You must have tried and failed at some time. No one can always succeed in what they want to do."
Luke: "I didn't say that I never fail. No Jedi ever becomes perfect. Sometimes, though, what we succeed in doing is not exactly what we intended to do. Focus on what you accomplished, rather than on what you merely hoped to do."
―Luke Skywalker, instructing young Raynar Thul[src]
Luke: "You may begin his training immediately."
Jaden: "I'm afraid it will be rudimentary, given the facilities available to me here."
Luke: "Jaden, Master Kenobi started my training in the cargo bay of the Millennium Falcon. Did you know that?"
Jaden: "I did."
Luke: "The Force calls each of us differently. For you, it was enrollment at the Jedi Academy. For Marr…"
Jaden: "…it'll start as it did for you. In the belly of a freighter."
Luke: "You don't plan to infiltrate an Imperial battle station and save a princess, do you?"
―Luke Skywalker and Jaden Korr, on beginning the training of Marr Idi-Shael[src]
Han: "So everybody's scheduled for an evacuation ship?"
Luke: "Yeah."
Han: "The command center people, too?"
Luke: "Yeah, her too, Han."
Han: "Her, who?"
Luke: "Take a guess. I'm sure Chewie will nudge you when you get it right."
Han: "Why do I get the sudden urge to put you back in the medical center?"
―Luke Skywalker and Han Solo[src]
Vader: "Come with me, Luke. It is the only way this can end."
Luke: "No. There's another. I can jump."
Vader: "Is that the wisdom of a Jedi?"
Luke: "I won't be the first to die to keep you from winning."
―Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker[src]
Leia: "I thought you knew better than that. You were acting like a child in there. No, worse, you were acting like Han."
Luke: "You think so?"
Leia: "That's not a compliment."
―Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker[src]
Luke: "You couldn't bring yourself to kill me before, and I don't believe you'll destroy me now."
Vader: "You underestimate the power of the dark side. If you will not fight, then you will meet your destiny."
―Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, dueling on the Death Star II[src]
Han: "But as long as we're discussing hostility, you can knock off that 'consort of the Lady Vader' stuff. Call me Han, or Solo. Or Captain. Or practically anything else."
Luke: "Han clan Solo, maybe."
Ekhrikhor: "That is good. We beg your forgiveness, Han clan Solo."
Luke: "I think you've been adopted."
Han: "Yeah. Thanks. A Lot."
―Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Ekhrikhor[src]
Luke: "To tell the truth, Counselor, I'm not sure why you waited for the Jedi to return. Club Bwua'tu seems to have the war well in hand without us."
Bwua'tu: "I'm surprised you haven't figured that out by now, Master Skywalker. We needed the cannon fodder."
―Luke Skywalker and Eramuth Bwua'tu, before the assault on the New Jedi Temple[src]
Mara: "When I first met Luke, I was under a compulsion to kill him. Generally not a good sign for a lasting relationship. Such was his courage that he did not run, and did not strike me. He accepted me, as no one else had done before."
Luke: "There was a sense to Mara, when I met her, that would not let me fear her, though countless others have learned that not fearing her can be trouble. The Force brought us together, and kept bringing us together until neither of us could deny our destiny to be together forever."
―Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker, exchanging vows at their Jedi wedding[src]
Hapan: "This creature has information that could lead us to a woman who has been kidnapped. We will get that information."
Luke: "This woman is a citizen of the New Republic, and if you do not take your hands off her, I will take your hands off you."
―Luke Skywalker threatens a group of Hapans who hold Omogg captive[src]
Obi-Wan: "You'll have to sell your speeder."
Luke: "That's okay. I'm never coming back to this planet again."
―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker, before leaving Tatooine[src]
"Let's go visit the Noghri." [R2-D2 squawks disbelievingly] "Oh, come on. Leia and Chewie went there and got back all right, didn't they? And Threepio, too. You don't want Threepio saying you were afraid to go somewhere he wasn't afraid of, would you?"
―Luke Skywalker attempts to persuade R2-D2 to go to Honoghr[src]
Han: "Him? You sure it's him?"
Glymphid: "The human traveling with the Millennium Falcon, pale hair, low intelligence—"
Luke: "Hey!"
Glymphid: "—answers to the name of Luke."
Han: "That's you all right, kid."
―A Glymphid and Han Solo, about Luke Skywalker[src]
Lando: "I used to own this ship. I'll figure out a way around what Han has done to her. The man ought to be ashamed of himself."
Luke: "I'll mention that to him when we get him out of the carbonite."
Lando: "So will I. High, loud, and repeatedly."
―Lando Calrissian and Luke Skywalker[src]
Luke: "How bad is it, Han?"
Han Solo: "On a scale of one to the Death Star? It's about... heck, kid, just elope."
Luke: "That bad? Keep the drinks coming, please."
―Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, agonizing before Luke's wedding[src]
"The chronology of the Clone Wars is confusing."
―Luke Skywalker, annotating the Book of Sith[src]
Rur: "Behold the vengeful remains of Rur, High Shaman of the Order of the Terrible Glare!"
Luke: "Oh."
―Luke Skywalker confronts Rur[src]
Yoda: "A Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger. Fear. Aggression. The dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow. Quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice."
Luke: "Vader… Is the dark side stronger?"
Yoda: "No! No…no. Quicker. Easier. More seductive."
Luke: "But how am I to know the good side from the bad?"
Yoda: "You will know, when you are calm. At peace. Passive."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker[src]
Yoda: "Only a fully trained Jedi knight, with the Force as his ally, will conquer Vader and his Emperor. If you end your training now, if you choose the quick and easy path, as Vader did, you will become an agent of evil."
Obi-Wan: "Patience!"
Luke: "And sacrifice Han and Leia?"
Yoda: "If you honor what they fight for? Yes!"
―Yoda and the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi, counseling Luke Skywalker not to attempt a rescue of his friends on Bespin[src]
Luke: "Mara… will you marry me?"
Mara: "You mean if we get out of here alive?"
Luke: "I mean regardless."
―Luke Skywalker proposes to Mara Jade[src]
Luke: "I feel... fear and anger. Aggression. Danger. Han's my best friend—why would his ship feel hostile?"
Nick: "Dunno. Think it might be because that quad turret's tracking us?"
―Luke Skywalker and Nick Rostu[src]
Han: "He's playing you, pal. Don't you get it, Luke? This guy's Yoda!"
Luke: "What? I… How can you know —"
Han: "Takes a con man to know one."
―Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, meeting Yoda on Dagobah[src]
C-3PO: "Are you there, sir?"
Luke: "Threepio!"
C-3PO: "We've had some problems..."
Luke: "Will you shut up and listen to me?!"
―C-3PO, belatedly contacting Luke Skywalker in a garbage masher[src]
Han: "Well, see, it happened this way: I won a planet in a card game and really wanted to see it badly. Meanwhile, the woman I love was planning to run off with another man, so I convinced her to take a short trip with me. Only when we got here, I found the skies full of warships that shot me down—because no one bothered to warn me that the planet was interdicted—and after we crashed, a bunch of witches decided to start a war over who gets the wreckage of my ship. So I'll tell you, Luke, I've had a really bad week so far. Now, to top it all off, I suppose you're going to lecture me, or arrest me, or beat me up. So tell me, how is your week going?"
Luke: "About the same."
―Han Solo vents to Luke Skywalker about his bad week[src]
C-3PO: "And what should we do if we are discovered here?"
Luke: "Lock the door."
Han Solo: "And hope they don't have blasters."
―C-3PO, Luke Skywalker, and Han Solo[src]
Luke: "I feel the Force."
Obi-Wan: "But you cannot control it. This is a dangerous time for you, when you will be tempted by the dark side of the Force."
―Luke Skywalker and the Force ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi, on Dagobah[src]
Luke: "The Jedi were the guardians of peace. The servants of the Old Republic, not its masters."
C'baoth: "Which is why they and the Old Republic failed, Jedi Skywalker. Why they failed, and why they died."
―Luke Skywalker and Joruus C'baoth[src]
Luke: "I was just thinking about Leia's twins. Thinking about how I'm going to have to train them some day."
Mara: "You worried about when to start?"
Luke: "I'm worried about being able to do it at all."
―Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade[src]
"Behold, the favorite weapon of Jedi before the invention of the lightsaber."
―Luke Skywalker, to Tahiri Veila, while wielding a sledgehammer[src]
"That's the last mistake you'll ever make."
―Luke Skywalker, giving one last warning to Jabba the Hutt[src]
Han Solo: "How are we doin'?"
Luke: "Same as always."
Han Solo: "That bad, huh?"
―Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, about to be executed by Jabba the Hutt[src]
Luke: "I'll never turn to the dark side. You've failed, Your Highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me."
Emperor: "So be it... Jedi."
―Luke Skywalker and Emperor Palpatine[src]
Luke: "Can you tell me how to get to Margess Base?"
Bartender: "You planning on driving a landspeeder after sixteen mugs of Corellian whiskey?"
Luke: "Ahh…" [waves hand] "I didn't drink sixteen mugs of Corellian whiskey."
Bartender: "It's a good thing you didn't drink sixteen mugs of Corellian whiskey. Just head west out over Autumna Planitia."
―Luke Skywalker and a bartender[src]
Han Solo: "This is not gonna work."
Luke: "Why didn't you say so before?"
Han Solo: "I did say so before."
―Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, sneaking around the Death Star in stormtrooper disguises[src]
Yoda: "Wake up."
Luke: "Aghh! What are you doing?"
Yoda: "Poking you with a stick, I am."
―Yoda awakens Luke Skywalker[src]
Mara: "Then all we have to do is cut our way through two hundred Vagaari soldiers and take over the ship."
Luke: "Something like that. You game?"
Mara: [shrugs] "Sure, why not? I didn't have anything else planned for after lunch."
―Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker[src]
Luke: "How was lunch?"
Ben: "Uh – fine. Why?"
Luke: "Because it just might come back up again."
―Luke Skywalker and Ben Skywalker, about to enter the Kathol Rift[src]
Tozr: "I take it this Lumiya is our prime suspect? Who is she?"
Mara: "One of Luke's old girlfriends."
Raatu: "Ah—that explains it. And Master Lobi is the new girlfriend?"
Luke: "Not at all! Mara is—er, Mara is my wife. I don't have a girlfriend."
Raatu: "What do I know about you Jedi? With most humans, it's usually sex or love."
Tozr: "Eighty-seven percent of the time. Spice is a distant second."
―Detectives Chal Tozr and Gwad Raatu question Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker, on the death of Tresina Lobi[src]
Luke: "I saw a city in the clouds."
Yoda: "Mmm. Friends you have there."
Luke: "They were in pain."
Yoda: "It is the future you see."
Luke: "The future... Will they die?"
Yoda: "Difficult to say. Always in motion is the future."
―Luke Skywalker, troubled by Force visions while training with Yoda on Dagobah[src]
"I name you the Sword of the Jedi. You are like tempered steel, purposeful and razor-keen. Always you shall be in the front rank, a burning brand to your enemies, a brilliant fire to your friends. Yours is a restless life, and never shall you know peace, though you shall be blessed for the peace that you bring to others. Take comfort in the fact that, though you stand tall and alone, others take shelter in the shadow that you cast."
―Luke Skywalker, seized by a powerful Force premonition, bestowing the title of Sword of the Jedi upon Jaina Solo[src]
