"I have you now."
"All too easy."
"He's no good to me dead."
"Never tell me the odds."
"Luminous beings are we."
"Do or do not. There is no try."
"Yeah, I bet you have."
"Awwwwaggghh." Okay, this is Chewie’s and doesn't really count. But I often scream it during sex. It's okay to feel really bad for my girlfriend right now. The social services people feel the same way.
This is just the VERY tip of the iceberg. There is nothing even close in the OT. Instead we have:
"I killed them all. Even the women and children."
"This is really pod racing."
"Anakin, you’re breaking my heart."
"Only a sith thinks in absolutes." Which is, as we all know, is an ABSOLUTE statement.
"I enjoy making lots of money on shitty taco bell promotions." This last one is McCallum.

The OT films are some of the most quoted films in history, and even Roger Ebert said in his review of AOTC that "I was amazed, at the end of 'Episode II,' to realize that I had not heard one line of quotable, memorable dialogue".
