Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 10 Fan-Favourite Lines That Will Definitely Return

10. €œIt€™s A Trap€

Past Uses: Once so far. Who Should Say It: Admiral Akbar The very fact that the fish-headed military genius is involved in The Force Awakens makes his infinitely meme-able line an inevitability. Despite every engaging chapter in his backstory - in which he unfeasibly managed to escape enslavement by the Empire (in close proximity to Grand Moff Tarkin, no less), and played at least two instrumental roles in the development of the Rebel Alliance - his entire existence comes down to that one quote. Now, if JJ Abrams is a real Star Wars fan (and there is compelling evidence to suggest as much), he will redress that balance, but to not have Akbar's first line be either a direct quote, or a variation of his most famous line would feel like a missed opportunity.
