17. Darth Vader On The Power Of The Force
THE QUOTE: Do not be too proud of this technological terror youve constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant, next to the power of the Force. THE SPEAKER: Darth Vader THE FILM: Star Wars: A New Hope THE BACKGROUND: During a meeting of Imperial officers aboard the Death Star, Grand Moff Tarkin and his cronies discuss the theft of the technical plans of said battle station by the Rebels. Admiral Motti, supremely overconfident on the firepower of the Death Star, boasts that an attack on it would be a futile gesture on behalf of the Rebels. Darth Vader, however, knows the peril of relying solely on technology , no matter how advanced it may seem I mean, how many times has a PC shut off or refused to even boot up for no particular reason at all? Its happened to me one too many times. Technology, for all its greatness, can let us down sometimes. Darth Vader understands this.
