    Yoda pretending to be a rando is a callback to a Samurai film trope called, "The Stranger on the Road". The idea is on his initial journey to the place he will be trained, the student doesn't know the face of the teacher, so the teacher tests the morality of the student, by disguising himself as a helpless person, to see if they are worthy of the great power they will gain, from being taught how to use the sword.

      There is a background story on the "I Know" answer. They spent days filming the carbonite scene, and it was almost a disaster. Everyone on the set get tired, frustrated, angry.. the dialog was changed a hundred times over, nothing was working. The I love you and I love you too was just so lame with the director and Harrison Ford it just wasn't working. So Harrison, good with improvising lines spontaneously came out and said "I Know!" and it worked. Everyone was pleased, and their scene there together ended on a high note.

      "There is no try" is applicable to a small handful of things in life, but trying is one of the most important things in most endeavors. Success so often hinges on self-confidence, that can only be built through practice. For people to fear failure so much is a miserable self-repressing pattern.
      It kinda makes sense for a jedi, as they can see the future, and simply choose their actions according to the best outcome they can foresee. "Try" means nothing for all their intents and purposes.

    Worth mentioning (thanks to Jill Beaurup for pointing it out): Han and Leia squabbling in the corridor was so routine that nebody gave it a second thought. And the two ofthem could moveto let people around them without missing a beat in their arguments. It takes practice.
    About Lando, if you wereresponsibleforthe safety of thousands of people and Darth Fricking Vader knocked on your door and told you to play along, would you refuse? Don't think so. And Lando thought the deal he'd done would keep Han, Leia and the others safe. Vader kept changing the deal time and again until he couldn't take it anymore, despite the risk to himself AND the people he was responsible for.
    Please notice that he tried to pull Leia out of Vader's notice in the Carbonite chamber. He was trying to protect them to the limit of his capabilities. That were very narrow.

    Vader didn't try to kill Luke. He could've from the very beginning of their duel, but he tried to turn him first, just like he said to The Emperor - "He will join us or die".

      You can see how easy Vader went on him, fighting one-handed, disarming Luke but not taking advantage--all to carbon freeze him. But as time goes on and Luke refuses to buckle under Vader's onslaught, that famous Anakin impatience pops up, until finally that hit to his shoulder by Luke makes him lop off Luke's hand in a blaze of dark side anger.

    Someone might have already mentioned this... but in 1977, the movie was simply called "Star Wars".
    Short, short version of the story....
    George Lucas began working on the idea that eventually became Star Wars pre-1975. He eventually settled on the idea of a massive space saga with a beginning, middle, and end spanning decades...
    Only 20th Century Fox was interested in funding the movie, but they made George Lucas cut down his story to a single movie, 120 minute's long. So... Lucas took the most exciting part of his larger story, a part that could stand on it's own, and THAT is what became the script. He had NO idea the kind of success that was headed his way. ALL OF US... who grew up with these movies kept waiting and dreaming for "The Clone Wars" mentioned in the first movie... we all knew there was a prequal story... and we finally got to watch Episode 1, and the beginning of the prequal movies in 1999!
    After Star Wars became a success, 20th Century Fox green lit more movies. So... George continued his story. BUT because he began the first movie in the middle of his massive space saga, he renamed Star Wars (1977) into Star Wars Episode 4, a New Hope... he re-released it in 1979 (I watched in at a drive-in theater) to get people ready for Episode 5, The Empire Strikes Back... in 1980.
    So... since 1979-1980, all "main story" Star Wars movies are identified as "episodes 1, 2, 6, 7, etc..." each episode is a continuation of one story.
    So... now you know why the strange naming sequence.
    Enjoy the rest of the series! :)

    It is almost unbelievable that after over 40 years since the premiere of this film, there are still people who do not know this iconic, greatest in the history of cinema sentence: I am your father.
    The next two iconic sentences from the history of cinema: "I'll be back" and "You shall not pass" you must learn as soon as possible by watching films in which these sentences appear. This last sentence in particular is said in an amazing scene in the film, which is an adaptation of the greatest fantasy novel in history.

    R2D2: - [Do you think we'll ever see Master Luke again?]
    C-3PO: - Don't say things like that! OF COURSE we'll see Master Luke again! Stupid little short circuit.

    - If you really watch the fight between Luke and Vader, Vader starts the fight just using one hand, almost toying with Luke because he knows that Luke is his son (that you didn't know the biggest spoiler in movie history/pop culture was amazing!!!).
    - Leia is in many ways a badass. However, one of the things about the way her arc was written is weird. Don't worry...the Leia, Luke, and Han thing gets weirder. You're welcome! After Return of the Jedi, you'll see what I mean.
    - The "I love you", "I know" dialogue...actually will become very romantic. However, it was written that Han Solo was supposed to say "I love you" as well. Unfortunately, it was not working, so Harrison improvised " I know" with the blessing of director Irvin Kershner and George Lucas. It worked, and they kept it in the film.
    - The chemistry between Harrison Ford (Han) and Carrie Fisher (Leia) was partly due to the fact that during the filming of the first movie, the two had an affair off-screen. See Carrie Fisher's book, The Princess Diarist for more about that. The funny thing was...NOBODY knew that it happened until years later!!! Mark Hamill (Luke) was completely blindsided when he found out...because...if you watch the clip in my next note, Carrie Fisher could not keep secrets!
    - The "No, I am your father" scene. The best explanation of this is to watch this clip of Mark Hamill (Luke) telling the story on Graham Norton during press for The Force Awakens (no spoilers except seeing three cast members of that film), complete with a spot-on Harrison Ford impression: ruclips.net/video/OsSKFlk8oEo/видео.html

    In the original script, Han answered "I love you too" to Leia before being freezed, but both the director and Harrison Ford thought it didn't feel like Han to say that, and after several takes, they still didn't feel it was right so the director just told Harrison not to think about it and just go with it. It was then that he said "I know" and when they were done with the take, the director felt like that was exactly something Han Solo would say. Confident and cocky like the smuggler he is.

    Haven't you ever kissed a friend, or a family member? It doesn't have to mean anything romantic.There never was anything between Luke and Leia, except maybe a teenage fascination with a beautiful woman from another planet..
    Han's "I know" was perfect. Leia knew he loved her. But she'd been fighting her own feelings for him. At the moment of his possible death, his "I know" showed he was at peace with her feelings for him. He finally knew she felt the same way for him that he did for her, and he could die at peace.

The 70's were different culturally concerning various things surrounding sex, relationships and especially consent. As a young woman (in the late 80's & 90's) I occasionally kissed male friends on the cheek or lips and it didn't mean anything more than that I was being affectionate to my friend. It wasn't sexual. A peck on the cheek or mouth was considered a *very* different thing than a kiss with tongue back then.

    Now who can hold the Empire at bay? No one. If they want to take Cloud City from you, no one can prevent it.
    That means he _had_ to deal with them; them and no one else.
    Now what do you do if you strike a deal with the Empire and the Empire violates it? Well, you can _complain_ to someone, but who? Who is going to be in a position to _do_ something about it? Who is going to be in a position to inflict some kind of _penalty_ on the Empire? No one.

    "I know" is actually a fantastic response to leia. It concludes han and leia's arch in the movie. The whole entire movie, han was trying to get leia to admit and accept her feelings for him. Han is continuously trying to break down the emotional barriers leia put up. When leia finally says that she loves him, it's the first time in the movie that she is being fully honest with him. Hans response is affirmation of leia's true feelings and acknowledgement that dispite everything she said and did in the movie he knew that she really did love him. Han doesn't need to say "i love you too" because he's already made it obvious what his feelings for her are.

    Not only did three years pass in real life between films. But three years passed between the destruction of the death star, and the imperial attack on Hoth. Han and Leia had been involved for some time. Han did not pay back Jabba. Instead, he stayed with the rebellion for her. The bounty Hunter, that Han mentioned during the argument was his excuse for leaving since he felt he wasn’t getting anywhere with her. Despite the fact they both love each other, they are incredibly stubborn he’s a scoundrel, and she is so caught up in the cause that she won’t allow herself to express intimacy or even love for anybody. The entire point of their argument throughout the story was Han trying to get her to admit it. Which she finally did at the cost of his life. The line was improvised but “I know” was his way of saying “See? I won. I knew you loved me.”
