Two that I like that haven’t been mentioned:
“Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them.”
“He tricked me into going this way.”

“So what I told you was true, from a certain point of view.”
“A certain point of view!?”
Always gets a chuckle out of me.

Not so serious:

“So this is how liberty dies…with thunderous applause” - Padmé
That line was completely unnecessary. Could have been accomplished with a facial expression and it would have been more meaningful
I agree. While I’ve never seen it, it’s been repeated so many times I feel like I have. It always comes across to me as Lucas thinking he’s really shown how deep he is. It’s ham-fisted.

That it accompanies Palpatine’s intensely poor “First Galactic Empire!” scene certainly doesn’t cast the quote in the best light, at any rate.
The scene in a nutshell: “Hey, look at how gullible the Senate is to automatically fall for Palpatine’s bullshit, even though he’s provided no evidence to back-up the claims he’s making against the Jedi!” It really drives home how stupid everyone who isn’t Palpatine is in these movies, how none of them can put 2 and 2 together even when the signs are blatantly there in garish neon colours.
Anything that could otherwise be considered “good” about this scene (like this quote, if you believe it so) is just gutted by all the stupid surrounding it.

I don’t think Lucas was trying to sound deep, all of his dialogues in the PT sound “solemn” (or sometimes cheesy) like that one, it’s just part of his style.

The Senate is not really falling for Palpatine’s speech, it’s just colluded with him. The whole scene may seem stupid to some, but I think it should look very familiar to most of us in this forum, because it’s basically what we see every day in our parliaments: Lucas was basically telling us the PT is actually set in our world and that this is the way it could turn out one day.

Not being familiar with the prequels, I will admit to my thoughts being speculation from the few clips I’ve seen.

Padmés reaction to founding of Empire is a good line. Yoda’s reaction to founding of Empire is not a good duel.

Today, I go with:
Leia: “Governor Tarkin. I should have expected to find you holding Vader’s leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.”
Tarkin: “Charming to the last.”

Any duel with Yoda is not a good duel. They couldn’t get the “Force Duel” with Dooku right.

It’s essentially, “Who told you you were cool enough to use my cool abbreviated name.”

“Helloooo, what have we here?”
Whatever Wicket says when the speeder patrol shoots at Leia and him. It’s always sounded to me like, “Eat 'choo mama. Eat 'choo mama yoota.” Now, I don’t know what all of that means, but especially on Mother’s Day, your mama needs some loving…

C3PX said: Gaffer is like that hot girl in high school that you think you have a chance with even though she is way out of your league because she is sweet and not a stuck up bitch who pretends you don’t exist… then one day you spot her making out with some skinny twerp, only on second glance you realize it is the goth girl who always sits in the back of class; at that moment it dawns on you why she is never seen hanging off the arm of any of the jocks… and you realize, damn, she really is unobtainable after all. Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

That’s right up there with, “From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!”
