Great Yoda lines

Some of my favorites:

"Much to learn, you still have."

"If so powerful you are, why leave?"

"Not if anything to say about it, I have."

Luke, approaching the X-wing that sank in the swamp, about to try to pull it out with the Force: "Okay. I'll give it a try."
Yoda: "No. Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try."

Luke, minutes later, having failed, after watching Yoda pull the X-wing out: "I don't believe it."
Yoda: "That is why you fail."

To the spirit of Qui-Gon: "A very great Jedi Master you have become, Qui-Gon Jinn. A very great Jedi Master you always were, but too blind I was to see it."

I like that line just for pure "in your face" appeal if for no other reason. Yoda's just taken Sidious' best shot, got up from the floor, and Force shoves Sidious across the room. How can you not like that moment? Wink

I like the 3 lines above just for Yoda being a bad ass.

I agree it was a great moment. But I thought that line ruined it. I was laughing when I wanted to be thrilled.

After Luke has failed to lift his X-Wing from the swamp and tells Yoda "it's too big," Yoda replies with this wonderful line:

"Judge me by my size, do you? And well you should not, for my ally is the Force."

For me, Yoda's most affecting words come from that little "inspirational" speech he gives to Luke.

MM, I agree. His best lines were from ESB. They seemed genuine, not forced.

Definitely Frank Oz put a-lot of himself into vocalizing Yoda's lines for ESB. He must've believed in what Yoda was saying. But for me is the defining moment of describing what the force actually is.

The midi-chlorian thing didn't really bother me at the time, but I'm not going to vigorously defend it either. I can understand how a cellular explanation for the Force seems a little quirky. To put a TC spin on it, I guess it would be like SRD suddenly saying that some Lords were better able to wield magic than other Lords because they had more, um, "Earthpower" cells in their bloodstream.

Well I would've let it slide if it were not for Annie's mother saying : "there was no father" WTF??? Oh so now Darth Vader is some messianic figure??

Anyway this is getting off topic...

YODA ROCKS!!!

Maybe...but rocks for example don't contain ATP as far as I know. Very Happy

But that sort of idea I guess.

Ha, gotta put this in here. A certain web site that offers free ring tones for your cell phone has one of Yoda saying this:

"Answer the phone you must."

Classic...........
