Look, I ain’t in this for your revolution, and I’m not in it for you, Princess. I expect to be well paid. I’m in it for the money.

The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master. The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands. You’re all clear, kid. Let’s blow this thing and go home!

Obi-Wan is here. The Force is with him. The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands. What good is a reward if you ain’t around to use it? Besides, attacking that battle station ain’t my idea of courage.

I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan Partially, but it also obeys your commands. Kid, I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe there’s one all-powerful Force controlling everything. There’s no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. It’s all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense. A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master.

He is here. Leave that to me. Send a distress signal, and inform the Senate that all on board were killed. Red Five standing by. Partially, but it also obeys your commands. The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers. I’m surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself.

The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands. Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they’ve obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe. I suggest we use it!
