Moff Jerjerrod Quotes in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)

Moff Jerjerrod: Lord Vader, this is an unexpected pleasure. We are honored by your presence...

Darth Vader: You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander. I'm here to put you back on schedule.

Moff Jerjerrod: I assure you, Lord Vader. My men are working as fast as they can.

Darth Vader: Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them.

Moff Jerjerrod: I tell you, this station will be operational as planned.

Darth Vader: The Emperor does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation.

Moff Jerjerrod: But he asks the impossible. I need more men.

Darth Vader: Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives.

Moff Jerjerrod: [aghast] The Emperor's coming here?

Darth Vader: That is correct, Commander. And he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress.

Moff Jerjerrod: We shall double our efforts.

Darth Vader: I hope so, Commander, for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.

The Emperor: [In the throne room, Luke is watching the Imperial fleet attack the Rebels from the huge throne room window] As you can see, my young apprentice, your friends have failed. Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL battle station!

[the Emperor hits the comlink switch on his throne]

The Emperor: Fire at will, Commander!

Moff Jerjerrod: [In the Death Star's firing room, a group of hooded Imperial gunners starts priming the Death Star's superlaser - a device so advanced it can be trained on capital ships, such as the Rebel aircraft carriers. A series of tones signify that the weapon is ready] Fire!

[a second gunner hits a switch, and a huge laser beam roars down a firing shaft. The outer surface of the Death Star shows a huge laser dish start to develop, and then a titanic laser beam moves out from the Death Star's superlaser. It hits the Rebel Calamari Cruiser 'Liberty' and vaporizes the huge carrier in less than a second]

Darth Vader: [deleted scene; Darth Vader and Moff Jerjerrod talk] Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them.

Moff Jerjerrod: I tell you, this station will be operational as planned.

Darth Vader: The Emperor does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation.

Moff Jerjerrod: But he asks the impossible.

[gravely]

Moff Jerjerrod: I need more men.

Darth Vader: Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives.

Moff Jerjerrod: [scared] The Emperor's coming here?

Darth Vader: That is correct, Commander. And he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress.

Moff Jerjerrod: We shall double our efforts.

Darth Vader: I hope so, Commander, for your sake.

[Jerjerrod gulps]

Darth Vader: The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.

[he and Jerjerrod walk away. Vader goes to his room and seats himself, communicating to Luke using the Force]

Darth Vader: Luke... Luke... Join me and the Dark Side of the Force... my son, it is the only way... Luke... Luke...

[cut to Tatooine, where Luke constructs his new lightsaber and tests it out. R2-D2 beeps something as C-3PO talks to himself]

C-3PO: What a forsaken place this is! Why couldn't that bounty hunter have taken Captain Solo to a more... pleasant environment?

[R2-D2 comes out of the small cave and beeps something]

C-3PO: We're leaving? But, what about Master Luke?

[R2 beeps again]

C-3PO: I thought he was going to rescue Captain Solo?

[R2 beeps and starts rolling away]

C-3PO: You mean, we're going to that horrible fortress alone?

[follows after R2, who beeps again]

C-3PO: We're doomed.

[cut to another scene where R2 and 3PO are making their way toward Jabba's Palace]

C-3PO: [R2 beeps a question] Of course I'm frightened, and you should be, too. Lando Calrissian and poor Chewbacca never return from this awful place.

[R2 beeps]

C-3PO: Don't be so sure. If I told you half the things I've heard about this Jabba the Hutt, you'd probably short-circuit.

[R2 sounds scared]
