These Are The Best Star Wars Quotes, And We Bet You Forgot About Some Of Them

Whether you’re a Wookiee, a Jedi, or a plain old human, everyone knows at least a few Star Wars quotes. There are the classics, like “May the Force be with you” and “It’s a trap!” And there’s the often misquoted, “I am your father.” Just chalk that one up to the Mandela Effect, along with C-3PO’s silver leg.

But if you want to go beyond the basics, we pulled a giant list of the best quotes from the Star Wars universe, from A New Hope to The Mandalorian and everything in between. Maybe you need them for some inspiration. Maybe you want them for a laugh. Or maybe you want to see how many you can sneak into a conversation until people start to catch on. We’re not sure if that’s chaotic good or evil, but we do one side has cookies.

These quotes are perfect for Star Wars Day, AKA May the Fourth, or any other day you want to feel the Force. So grab your lightsaber and get ready to dive into a galaxy far, far away.
