"The force is strong in that one"

We often use this to describe people who show us how clumsy they can be. Usually this is the kids.

Actually, off topic for a second. We have a cat who is really really stupid. Totally unco. She was lying on the arm of the couch one night and simply rolled over and fell off the couch onto the floor...not onto her feet.

Quick as a wink, husband says, "Gravity was her co-pilot".

When playing the animal-sound game with the kiddo (What does a doggie say? Woof, woof! What does a cow say? Mooo!) I inevitably start covering less common creatures, and always included is "What does Chewbacca say?" followed by my impeccable impersonation of his distinctive cry.

As horrifying as it sounds, every now and again at work I find myself resorting to Gungan Pidgeon ... as in "Meesa like Beer." or "Meesa no like Junkie-mans."

Luckily, this doesn't happen much.

We tend to be more of a Fifth Element office, thankfully.

Calimari? That reminds me! No discussion of great Star Wars lines could be complete without . . . .

IT'S A TRAP!

Didn't it just blunder into the path of the beam?

No, it was illustrating the Emperor's "witness the destruction of your rebel fleet!"

I just kinda figured that the 'learner' part of the quote came from 'long time ago in a galaxy far far away' part and they just hadn't quite gotten around to developing the thesaurus yet... right behind the blaster targeting sites.. perhaps they just actually cloned GI Joe?

oh! yeah.. there's the scene where obi-wan, luke and company come across the destroyed jawa sandcrawler..(damnit! I don't recall the exact line) but something to the effect that 'only imperial stormtroopers have this kind of accuracy'... uh huh... yeah, remind me to get a time/space machine and take up bank robbing in said galaxy.
