Alderaan? I'm not going to Alderaan. I've got to go home. It's late, I'm in for it as it is. What?! Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them. The Force is strong with this one. I have you now. I need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I'm getting too old for this sort of thing.

The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers. 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.

Don't underestimate the Force.

Still, she's got a lot of spirit. I don't know, what do you think? I care. So, what do you think of her, Han? I don't know what you're talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan--

She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod. Send a detachment down to retrieve them, and see to it personally, Commander. There'll be no one to stop us this time! The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands.

I'm trying not to, kid.

Partially, but it also obeys your commands. Don't underestimate the Force. I care. So, what do you think of her, Han? No! Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons. You can't possibly…

You don't believe in the Force, do you? I don't know what you're talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan-- The Force is strong with this one. I have you now.

No! Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons. You can't possibly… As you wish. Look, I ain't in this for your revolution, and I'm not in it for you, Princess. I expect to be well paid. I'm in it for the money.

You are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away! The Force is strong with this one. I have you now. The Force is strong with this one. I have you now. I'm trying not to, kid. Oh God, my uncle. How am I ever gonna explain this?

Escape is not his plan. I must face him, alone. Hey, Luke! May the Force be with you. Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you're going. The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

Oh God, my uncle. How am I ever gonna explain this? Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them. No! Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons. You can't possibly… A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master.

I find your lack of faith disturbing. I need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I'm getting too old for this sort of thing. I have traced the Rebel spies to her. Now she is my only link to finding their secret base.

I find your lack of faith disturbing. I care. So, what do you think of her, Han? I want to come with you to Alderaan. There's nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and be a Jedi, like my father before me.

Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force. I call it luck. Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him.

Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you're going. I find your lack of faith disturbing. He is here. A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master.

Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you're going. I don't know what you're talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan--

In my experience, there is no such thing as luck. The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands. She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod. Send a detachment down to retrieve them, and see to it personally, Commander. There'll be no one to stop us this time!

I suggest you try it again, Luke. This time, let go your conscious self and act on instinct. What good is a reward if you ain't around to use it? Besides, attacking that battle station ain't my idea of courage. It's more like…suicide.
