From: Star Wars (specifically Episode IV)
Genre: Movies
Who said it?: Obi-Wan Kenobi
The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from, what else, Star Wars. Specifically, it comes from Episode IV, the first film in the film franchise. Honestly, do I even have to tell you what Star Wars is now?
The quote comes from the middle of the film. The Millennium Falcon is trapped in the Death Star. Han Solo (played by Harrison Ford) comments he can’t get off the space station because the tractor beam that pulled them in will just get them if they try. Obi-Wan Kenobi (played by Alec Guinness) then states he’ll be able to deactivate the tractor beam. Han Solo calls him a fool, which is when Obi-Wan retorts with the quote.
