It's a myth that Storm Troopers couldn't shoot anything in A New Hope!
This was a key plot point that many people miss – Tarkin had ordered the Stormtroopers that Leia and her rescuers NOT be shot – so they could escape and thus be followed to the hereabouts of the elusive Rebel Base could be discovered. Governor Tarkin: You're sure the homing beacon is secure aboard their ship? I'm taking an awful risk, Vader. I must face him, alone.ĭarth Vader: They've just made the jump into hyperspace. Governor Tarkin: If you're right, he must not be allowed to escape.ĭarth Vader: Escape is not his plan. Governor Tarkin: The Princess? Put all sections on alert.ĭarth Vader: Obi-wan *is* here. Voice over comm: We have an emergency alert in detention block AA-23. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion. Governor Tarkin: The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe. Governor Tarkin: Surely he must be dead by now.ĭarth Vader: Don't underestimate the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master. Governor Tarkin: Obi-Wan Kenobi? What makes you think so?ĭarth Vader: A tremor in the Force. Governor Tarkin: Terminate her… immediately! She lied to us!ĭarth Vader: I told you she would never consciously betray the Rebellion. They are now conducting an extensive search of the surrounding systems. They found the remains of a Rebel base, but they estimate that it has been deserted for some time. Officer Cass: Our scout ships have reached Dantooine. Tarkin was not afraid to kill millions or innocent people or a political figure Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration – but don't worry we will deal with your rebel friends soon enough. Governor Tarkin: You're far too trusting. Continue with the operation you may fire when ready. You see, Lord Vader, she can be reasonable. Governor Tarkin: You would prefer another target, a military target? Then name the system! I grow tired of asking this so it will be the last time: Where is the rebel base? Princess Leia Organa: No! Alderaan is peaceful! We have no weapons, you can't possibly… Tarkin demonstrates to Leia that he means business Governor Tarkin: Not after we demonstrate the capabilities of this station. Princess Leia Organa: The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers. No star system will dare oppose the Emperor now. Governor Tarkin: Princess Leia, before your execution, I'd like you to join me for a ceremony that will make this battle station operational. Princess Leia Organa: I'm surprised that you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself. You don't know how hard I found it, signing the order to terminate your life.
I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board. Princess Leia Organa: Governor Tarkin, I should have expected to find you holding Vader's leash.

Governor Tarkin: I think it is time we demonstrated the full power of this station.
Governor Tarkin: Perhaps she would respond to an alternative form of persuasion. Princess Leia served Tarkin some handy words That is the name of one of the films that greatly inspired George Lucas when he was writing the original Star Wars script. There's also a cool reference here – Motti was about to finish his line as “hidden fortress”. Governor Tarkin: Enough of this! Vader, release him! Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the rebels' hidden fort-…ĭarth Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.Īdmiral Motti: Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it!ĭarth Vader: Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. General Tagge: What of the Rebellion? If the Rebels have obtained a complete technical reading of this station, it is possible, however unlikely, they might find a weakness and exploit it.ĭarth Vader: The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands.Īdmiral Motti: Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they have obtained. The conversation also contains the famous Darth Vader quote to the near-death Admiral Motti, “I find your lack of faith disturbing”.
