Quotes6

  • Aunt Beru: Where are you going?
  • Luke: Looks like I'm going nowhere. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go finish cleaning those droids.
  • Aunt Beru: [after Luke leaves] Owen, he can't stay here forever, most of his friends have gone. It means so much to him.
  • Uncle Owen: I'll make it up to him next year; I promise.
  • Aunt Beru: Luke's just not a farmer, Owen. He has too much of his father in him.
  • Uncle Owen: That's what I'm afraid of.
  • Luke Skywalker: You know, I think that R2 unit we bought may have been stolen.
  • Uncle Owen: What makes you think that?
  • Luke Skywalker: Well, I stumbled across a recording while I was cleaning him. He says that he belongs to someone called Obi-Wan Kenobi. I thought he might have meant old Ben. Do you know what he's talking about?
  • Uncle Owen: Uh-uh.
  • Luke Skywalker: I wonder if he's related to Ben.
  • Uncle Owen: That wizard's just a crazy old man. You stay away from him, you hear me? He's dangerous. Now, tomorrow I want you to take that R2 unit to Anchorhead and have its memory erased. That'll be the end of it. It belongs to us now.
  • Luke Skywalker: But what if this Obi-Wan comes here looking for him?
  • Uncle Owen: He won't. I don't think he exists anymore. He died about the same time as your father.
  • Luke Skywalker: Did he know my father?
  • Uncle Owen: I told you to forget it. Your only concern is to prepare those new droids for tomorrow. In the morning, I want them up there on the south ridge working on those condensers.
  • Luke Skywalker: Yes, sir.
  • Luke Skywalker: [the red R2 unit blows its top] Uncle Owen!
  • Uncle Owen: [looks up from paying the Jawa] Yeah?
  • Luke Skywalker: This R2 unit has a bad motivator, look!
  • Uncle Owen: [to Jawa] Hey, what are you trying to push on us?
  • Uncle Owen: Luke! Take these two over to the garage will ya? I want 'em cleaned up before dinner
  • Luke: But I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!
  • Uncle Owen: You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done. Now, come on. Get to it.
  • Uncle Owen: Have you seen Luke this morning?
  • Aunt Beru: He said that he had some things to do before he started, so he left early.
  • Uncle Owen: Did he take those two new droids with him?
  • Aunt Beru: I think so.
  • Uncle Owen: Well, he'd better have those units in the South Ridge repaired by midday, or there'll be hell to pay.
  • Uncle Owen: I suppose you're programmed for etiquette and protocol.
  • C-3PO: Protocol? Why, it's my primary function, sir. I am well-versed in all the customs...
  • Uncle Owen: I have no need for a protocol droid.
  • C-3PO: Of course you haven't, sir, not in an environment such as this. That's why I have been programmed...
  • Uncle Owen: What I really need is a droid who understands the binary language of moisture vaporators.
  • C-3PO: Vaporators? Sir, my first job was programming binary load lifters, very similar to your vaporators in most respects.
  • Uncle Owen: Can you speak Bocce?
  • C-3PO: Of course I can, sir, it's like a second language to me. I was...
  • Uncle Owen: All right, shut up.
  • [to the Jawas]
  • Uncle Owen: I'll take this one.
  • C-3PO: Shutting up, sir.
