Star Wars/LOTR quotes? ("But I was gonna go to Frogmorton to pick up some power converters!")
OK guys, it's up to you to be funny today. In honor of the DVD release of The "Han Shoots Second" Version of the Star Wars films, here is what I suggest:
Just like we did with The Princess Bride, let's see if we can take some Star Wars lines (any of the three original films--screw that prequel crap) and twist and apply them to LOTR.
Examples:
GANDALF: Lord Saruman. I should have known. Only you could be so bold. The Wizard Senate will not sit for this, when they hear you've attacked a poor little--
SARUMAN: Don't play games with me, Gandalf. You weren't on any pipeweed mission this time. You passed directly through a magic-infested area. Several transmissions were beamed to this tower by palantir. I want to know what happened to the Ring you found.
GANDALF: I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a friendly old wizard on a diplomatic mission to Hobbiton...
SARUMAN: You're part of the western Alliance, and a traitor. Take him away!
And the question is, who's going to back whom up against a wall and purr, "You like me BECAUSE I'm a scoundrel. There aren't enough scoundrels in your life." Faramir to Eowyn? Aragorn to Legolas? You decide! Take it away, kids.
ETA: If you need them, the scripts are several places online, including here and here.
ETA part 2: I think I'll compile all these and post them together, with credits, in a week or so, to save people having to check back and scroll thru comments. Then it's easier to copy and forward to your friends, too. So keep 'em coming!
ETA part 3:
ARAGORN: I don't know; what do you think? You think a princess and a guy like me--
ELROND: NO.
