Obi Wan is great, but the bigger fool is the fool who follows. At least the first fool is blazing his own trail.

It’s hard to pick a favorite line from those movies. There are so many good ones. Here are my favorites from just the first movie (with a little bit of help from IMDB):

The best Obi Wan line is, “In my experience, there’s no such thing as luck.”

And the line I quote the most is probably “These are not the droids you’re looking for.”

Han gets all the best one-liners, though: “Sorry about the mess,” “Boring conversation anyway,” “No reward is worth this.” If it wasn’t for Indiana Jones, Han Solo would easily be the coolest movie character ever.

Yes, I do like Obi-Wan, but Han Solo takes the cake for cool sayings in the movies.

"I have a bad feeling about this."
"Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her."
"Laugh it up fuzzball."
"He's the brains, sweetheart."
"Chewy, take the Professor and hook him up to the hyperdrive."
"Never tell me the odds."
"That's great kid, now don't get cocky."
"Don't worry. She'll hold together...Hear me baby? Hold together."
"I'm out of it for a little while, and everyone gets delusions of granduer"
"You're all clear kid, now let's blow this joint and go home."

Then there is:
"I shall watch your career with great interest." - Palpatine in Episode 1.
"I'm a jedi, like my father before me." - Luke

"Someday your going to be wrong and I just hope I am there to see it." - Leia...and Leia's best line...."Why, you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking, nerfherder."
"Who's scruffy-looking?" - Han
"You said you wanted to be here when I made a mistake; this could be it sweetheart." - Han

The back-and-forth between Han and Leia was always great.

Oh, and its always the fool who follows is the most foolish.
