What are seemingly “throw-away” lines in Star Wars that are deeper than what they appear?


Some of my favorite:“I have a bad feeling about this... It’s somewhere elsewhere... elusive.” - Obi-Wan in the beginning of The Phantom Menace sensing the return of the Sith.“I should think that you Jedi would have more respect for the difference between knowledge and wisdom." - Dex was spot on about the Jedi order with this one.“If an item doesn’t appear on our records, it doesn’t exist.” - Jocasta Nu perfectly summarizes the Jedi’s narrow-minded and dogmatic views by saying if the Jedi don’t recognize it, it’s wrong.“A prophecy, that misread could have been.” - Yoda on Anakin / The Chosen One prophecy. Very interesting line that has many different possibilities if re-read.“You don’t know the power of the dark side, I must obey my master.” - Vader tells Luke in VI after his son pleas with him to turn from the dark side. Vader’s tone and delivery imply that it’s not that easy and the dark side has consumed his lifeEdit: I also love in ESB when Vader tells Luke “Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.” Just an absolutely chilling line especially after Revenge of the Sith and and we see exactly what “happens to” him and causes him to become Vader via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/2Bbkv9M
