Rogue One: A Star Wars Story\u00a0<\/em>releases this weekend, and we could not be more excited. In honor of this newest installment in the\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0<\/em>franchise, today’s Five by Friday takes a look back at some of our favorite quotes throughout all seven of the previous movies.<\/p>\n

Teija will be sitting this week out due to travel, which\u00a0made it even more impossible than usual to include every quote we’d want to pick. So Lauren and Sarah agreed to take this one out of the running, in order to give us a little more wiggle room.<\/p>\n

We were both able to agree that the best quote from the entire series is when Leia\u00a0loses it with Han and explodes in a fury of\u00a0“Why, you stuck up… half-witted… scruffy-looking… Nerf-herder!” It really doesn’t get more quotable than that!<\/p>\n

Lauren<\/h2>\n

I went through a lot of lists of “Best\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0<\/em>Quotes” to come up with my top five, and something I learned about myself is my favorites are rarely the iconic or poetic lines. No one’s embroidering my picks on pillows or having them printed in colorful, looping font to frame on their wall (well, except for my top pick, but only ironically). My favorite quotes are the ones that either make me genuinely laugh out loud every time, tell me something important about the story or a character, or tend to crop up in my day-to-day conversations year after year.<\/p>\n

5. “One thing’s for sure, we’re all going to be a lot thinner.” – Han Solo,\u00a0A New Hope<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"jvj6ejm\"<\/p>\n

I’ve always loved how Star Wars\u00a0<\/em>manages to inject levity into really tense or serious scenes, and the trash compactor scene in\u00a0A New Hope\u00a0<\/em>is a\u00a0shining example. Between this quote, which is one of many lines establishing Han’s wry sense of humor, and the gag where C-3PO thinks he’s hearing death screams over the communicator when they’re actually whooping for joy,\u00a0A New Hope\u00a0<\/em>takes what could be a potentially dark, scary scene and makes it exciting and even funny.<\/p>\n

4. Tie: “You came in that thing? You’re braver than I thought.” – Princess Leia,\u00a0A New Hope<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"157906-princess-leia-you-came-in-that-cryb\"<\/em><\/h3>\n

and “That one’s garbage!” [ship blows up] “The garbage will do.” – Rey,\u00a0The Force Awakens<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"ezgif-com-crop-5\"<\/p>\n

Totally cheating on this one, and I’m not even sorry. I am such a fan of the constant dissing of the Millennium Falcon by most of the characters in the\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0<\/em>universe, while Han maintains its greatness. I just really enjoy the idea that this ship that is so iconic to the fandom is actually, more or less, a souped up jalopy. Plus Rey’s dismissal of the off-screen Falcon and then the camera pan to its nostalgic reveal was one of my favorite moments in\u00a0The Force Awakens<\/em>.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0“Laugh it up, fuzzball.” – Han Solo,\u00a0The Empire Strikes Back<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"iodlhql\"<\/p>\n

Aside from the above-mentioned Nerf-herder line, this is probably one of my most frequently-used quotes from\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>. I also just really enjoy how much we\u00a0are able to understand about Han and Chewie’s friendship just from watching Han’s side of their conversations.<\/p>\n

2. \u201cSo who talks first? You talk first? I talk first?\u201d – Poe Dameron,\u00a0The Force Awakens<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"tumblr_inline_o4wpzorhum1qi6xpd_500\"<\/p>\n

I loved how much this quote told us both about the character of Poe (precious, sweet, cinnamon roll Poe, please have a bigger role in the next two movies), and the tone of\u00a0The Force Awakens<\/em>. After so much time away from the\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0<\/em>universe, and especially after opening with such an intense scene where Kylo Ren’s forces attack the village, it was easy to feel a little nervous about whether the tone of the movie was going to be a significant, dark departure from the previous films. But with this line, it was like the movie telling you,\u00a0don’t worry, it’s going to be okay, this is still the Star Wars you know and love<\/em>.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u201cI\u00a0have a bad feeling about this.\u201d – pretty much everyone in every movie<\/strong><\/h3>\n
