Darth Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing.
[Princess Leia gets her first look at the Millenium Falcon.]
Princess Leia: You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought.
Han Solo: Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
Ben Kenobi: Obi-Wan Kenobi? Obi-Wan. Now there's a name I've not heard in a long, long time. A long time.
Luke Skywalker: You do know him then?
Ben Kenobi: Of course I know him...he's me. I haven't gone by the name Obi-Wan since, oh, before you were born.
Luke Skywalker: I want to learn the ways of the force and become a Jedi, like my father.
Princess Leia: Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.
Darth Vader: Your powers are weak, old man.
Obi-Wan: You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
Darth Vader: I have been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was a learner. Now I am the master.
Obi-Wan: Only a master of evil, Darth.
Princess Leia: Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?
Han Solo: That was luck.
Ben Kenobi: In my experience, there's no such thing as luck.
Luke: I have a very bad feeling about this.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Who's more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?
Darth Vader: The Force is strong with this one.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Force will be with you. Always.
C-3PO: We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life.
Luke Skywalker: Look, he's heading for that small moon.
Han Solo: I think I can get him before he gets there. He's almost in range.
Obi-Wan: That's no moon. It's a space station.
Answer: Presumably because the monster has pulled him through the lair of whatever they are standing on into whatever space the rest of the body of the monster lives in. Obviously, the monster doesn't live in the part of the part of the compactor that does the compacting or it would be already compacted.
