How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
Quote #1
REBEL SOLDIER: Sir, the temperature's dropping too rapidly.
HAN: That's right. And my friend's out in it.
REBEL SOLDIER: Your Tauntaun'll freeze before you reach the first marker.
HAN: Then I'll see you in Hell.
Ah, Han Solo, we'd expect nothing less from you. This is a great place to start because it shows how tight Han and Luke have gotten since the events of the first film. Although Han originally pegged Luke as a chump he could milk for cash, he now sees him as a friend worth risking his life for.
Quote #2
HAN: How are you feeling, kid? You don't look so bad to me. In fact, you look strong enough to pull the ears off a Gundark.
LUKE: Thanks to you.
HAN: That's two you owe me, junior.
The first time Han saved Luke, by the way, is when he swooped in at the end of A New Hope to protect Luke while he took down the Death Star. Context aside, this passage further highlights the close bond between Han and Luke, which in many ways mirrors a typical big bro/little bro relationship. It's kind of adorable.
Quote #3
C-3PO: R-2, you take good care of Master Luke now, understand? And do take good care of yourself. Oh, dear, oh, dear.
Although we're going to focus on humans for most of this section (sorry, Chewie), we would be remiss if we didn't mention the bond between C-3PO and R2-D2. Because this pair of droids served as the audience's gateway into the Star Wars universe in A New Hope, their separation emphasizes how scattered our heroes have become.
