2. Leia Pokes Fun At Luke's Height
THE QUOTE: Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper? THE SPEAKER: Princess Leia THE FILM: Star Wars: A New Hope THE BACKGROUND: The Death Stars tractor beam has caught the Millennium Falcon and has brought it into the hangar bay. Obi-Wan decides to go and disable the tractor beam. Meanwhile, Luke discovers that that Princess Leia is being held captive in one of the prison cells. He, Han Solo and Chewbacca decide to go rescue her, disguised as stormtroopers, pretending that Chewbacca is a prisoner theyre transferring from one block to another, while C3PO and R2-D2 hack into the Death Stars computer mainframe to aid them in their mission. Talk about computer hacking in a galaxy far, far away Anyway, eventually they discover which cell Leia is held in. Luke opens the cell door and looks at her for a moment, perhaps stunned by her beauty, we think. Leia, who until that moment had been chillaxing on the bed, looks up at Luke and basically calls him a shorty. FUN FACT: 1138 is the number of the cell block that Luke claims hes transferring Chewbacca to. This is a reference to George Lucass first film, THX 1138.
