Spoiler Warning!!
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the thrilling continuation to the famous Star Wars series, was released into theaters on December 18, 2015. In celebration of the seventh episode in the franchise, here are seven quotes that will awaken nostalgia in long-time fans and awaken the Force in new ones.
1. "Chewie, we're home." - Han Solo
The return of Han Solo and Chewbacca to the Millennium Falcon is a nostalgic moment that fans are sure to love.
2. "Show me, grandfather, and I will finish what you started." - Kylo Ren
Kylo Ren's adoration of his grandfather may be misguided, but the revealing of Vader's mask with the Imperial March playing in the background is chilling nonetheless.
3. "Rey . . . May the Force be with you." - Leia Organa
From one heroine to another, Princess- er, General Leia's use of this iconic phrase to Rey is simply perfect.
4. "FN, huh? Finn. I'm gonna call you Finn." - Poe Dameron
We sure aren't used to seeing rebel pilots and Stormtroopers becoming friends, so this exchange between Poe Dameron and Finn is a pleasant change in pace (plus, it would've been a lot more difficult to call him FN-2187 through the whole movie).
5. "I always hated watching you leave." "That's why I did it. So you'd miss me." - Leia Organa, Han Solo
Because really, what fan won't love to see our favorite couple reunite on the big screen?
6. "Ben!"
With this one word, fans learn two things: Kylo Ren's real name, and that he was named after old Ben Kenobi.
7. "Rey, these are your first steps." - Obi-Wan Kenobi
It is quite fitting that Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of the first voices to welcome our newest heroine into the ways of the Force.
