Terrific list. Here’s one of them:
14. “Had a slight weapons malfunction, but everything’s perfectly alright now. We’re fine, we’re all fine, here, now, thank you. How are you?â€
When to say it: When your cell phone signal begins to break up
Granted, this is a Star Wars quote which will almost immediately get recognized as a Star Wars quote — hopefully, you’ll never find yourself in a real life situation where you have to use the term “weapons malfunction.†Still, though, if you’ve got to go through the typically banal “wait, you’re breaking up – can you hear me?†conversation with a friend over your phone, why not throw in a Han Solo quote for good measure? Pretty much everything Harrison Ford says in the series is gold – in everyday life, one should always be searching for methods, no matter how forced, to speak the words of Han Solo.
Bah, what a lot of rubbish. I mean, fucking Star Wars… It was great in its day — but only because of the special effects. The dialogue was probably the weakest point of the flicks. Alec Guinness detested it, but even the no-name actors joked that “you can write it, but you can’t actually say it.”
The Big Lebowski on the other hand — you can almost get through an entire day solely by using quotes from that one…
I must keep this article away from some of my mates… it’s bad enough I have to hear that every place we ever go to outside our hometown is a “wretched hive of scum and villainy“. Mind you, they’re often right.
I liked the first three comments, though, but it’ll be difficult to share them without encouraging the almost constant quoting.
Forget it Eel Feather, you’re out of your element!
Don’t be fatuous, Kellie.
Eel Feather, my friend, you are entering a world of pain.
Can we stop at the In N’ Out Burger?
Shut the fuck up, Seth.
Oh please, dear — for your information, the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint.
I had no idea that Han Solo quotes would be so contentious. I’m just surprised nobody’s bashed me over this one yet.
Eel Feather, I love you, but sooner or later you’re going to have to realize the fact that you’re a goddamn moron.
God damn it, Chris, get this blog together!
A Han Solo quote list? So help me god, if I ever see something like this again I will leave this site and never return for a week
Ahhh much much better.
I find myself using the “Hey it’s me!” line from ROTJ often.
i have to admit that i had more fun reading the comments to this blog post than reading the actual blogged material. i suppose it made han solo all worth it.
Calmer than you are…
Wow…
even the no-name actors joked that “you can write it, but you can’t actually say it.â€
…Said no-name actor actually being HF himself, thus referring to these selfsame quotes. Which, of course, makes the list all the greater:)
