General Tagge : [37:45] And what of the Rebellion? If the Rebels have obtained a complete technical reading of this station, it is possible, however unlikely, they might find a weakness and exploit it.
Darth Vader : The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands.
Admiral Motti : Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they have obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it!
Darth Vader : Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet, or even a whole system, is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
Admiral Motti : Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebels' hidden fort...
[Vader makes a pinching motion and Motti starts choking]
Darth Vader : I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Grand Moff Tarkin : Enough of this! Vader, release him!
Darth Vader : As you wish.
[He does]
Grand Moff Tarkin : This bickering is pointless! Lord Vader will provide us with the location of the Rebel fortress by the time this station is operational. We will then crush the Rebellion with one swift stroke!
-
Darth Vader : [1:55:54] The Force is strong with this one.
-
Darth Vader : This will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of Kenobi, it will soon see the end of the Rebellion.
-
Darth Vader : [1:06:49] I sense something; a presence I've not felt since...
-
Darth Vader : [zeroing in on Luke's fighter] I have you now!
[one of Vader's wing-men explodes]
Darth Vader : What?
Han Solo : YAHOOO!
[the Millennium Falcon appears]
Tie Fighter pilot : Look out!
[Han fires again, the second fighter collides with Vader's, sending him careening away]
Han Solo : You're all clear, kid, now let's blow this thing and go home!
[Luke fires, the torpedoes dive down the exhaust port; the Millennium Falcon leads the remaining rebel ships away as the Death Star explodes]
-
Darth Vader : [addressing the Tantive IV's captain, whom he is interrogating] Where are those transmissions you intercepted? WHAT have you DONE with those plans?
[holding Captain Antilles off the floor, the Captain's feet are dangling at Vader's knees]
Captain Antilles : We intercepted no transmissions...
[gasps]
Captain Antilles : ... This is a consular ship... We're on a -
[chokes]
Captain Antilles : diplomatic mission...
Darth Vader : [shouting] If this is a consular ship, WHERE is the ambassador?
[Antilles dies before he can answer, and Vader throws the man's body against the wall, narrowly missing 2 stormtroopers]
Darth Vader : Commander, tear this ship apart until you find those plans! And bring me all passengers, I want them ALIVE!
-
Darth Vader : He is here.
Grand Moff Tarkin : Obi-Wan Kenobi? What makes you think so?
Darth Vader : A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master.
Grand Moff Tarkin : Surely he must be dead by now.
Darth Vader : Don't underestimate the Force.
Grand Moff Tarkin : The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion.
[answering a comm signal]
Grand Moff Tarkin : Yes?
Voice : We have an emergency alert in detention block AA-23.
Grand Moff Tarkin : The Princess? Put all sections on alert.
Darth Vader : Obi-wan is here. The Force is with him.
Grand Moff Tarkin : If you're right, he must not be allowed to escape.
Darth Vader : Escape is not his plan. I must face him, alone.

[Darth Vader enters Princess Leia's cell, followed by a sinister looking interrogation droid]
Darth Vader : And now, your highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden rebel base...
-
Princess Leia Organa : [07:38] Darth Vader. Only you could be so bold. The Imperial Senate will not sit still for this. When they hear you've attacked a diplomatic...
Darth Vader : Don't act so surprised, Your Highness. You weren't on any mercy mission this time. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.
Princess Leia Organa : I don't know what you're talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan...
Darth Vader : You are part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away!
-
Officer Cass : Our scout ships have reached Dantooine. They found the remains of a Rebel base, but they estimate that it has been deserted for some time. They are now conducting an extensive search of the surrounding systems.
Grand Moff Tarkin : [referring to Leia] She lied. She lied to us!
Darth Vader : I told you she would never consciously betray the Rebellion.
Grand Moff Tarkin : Terminate her... immediately!
-
Grand Moff Tarkin : Perhaps she would respond to an alternative form of persuasion.
Darth Vader : What do you mean?
Grand Moff Tarkin : I think it is time we demonstrated the full power of this station. Set your course for Alderaan.

[Vader has reached the hangar bay where his personal Tie Advanced x1 is housed, as alarms continue to wail. He meets 2 Imperial pilots heading for the same hangar & addresses them]
Darth Vader : Several fighters have broken off from the main group. Come with me!
[the pilots follow Vader to the hangar]
-
Grand Moff Tarkin : Are they away?
Darth Vader : They've just made the jump into hyperspace.
Grand Moff Tarkin : You're sure the homing beacon is secure aboard their ship? I'm taking an awful risk, Vader. This had better work.
-
[Attack warning alarms are sounding throughout the Death Star and stormtroopers, officers & technicians are running to their posts. An Imperial officer is trying to find Darth Vader & eventually finds him calmly walking down a hall towards the hangar bay]
Imperial Officer : We count 30 Rebel ships, Lord Vader, but they're so small they're avoiding our turbo lasers!
Darth Vader : We'll have to destroy them ship to ship. Get the crews to their fighters.
[the officer turns to carry out the order while Vader continues towards the hangar bay]
-
Darth Vader : Engage in attack formation.
-
Darth Vader : Let him go. Stay on the leader.
-
Grand Moff Tarkin : [1:03:01] She lied! She lied to us!
Darth Vader : I told you she would never consciously betray the rebellion
