Someone's bound to have pointed this out before, but what the hell. Has anyone else noticed that the Star Wars trilogy is absolutely engorged with innuendo? To the point I have long-suspected that Lucas must surely be at it. Off the top of my head:
You've got something jammed in there real good.
She may not look like much but she's got it where it counts.
I should have expected to find you holding Vader's leash.
Where are you taking this... thing? (This line''s quite innocuuous but just listen to the suggestive way it's uttered on screen. Sorta, "Hell-o, Chewie..." )
Get in there you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell!
Put that thing away - you're going to get us all killed!
Get on top of it!
Curse my metal body! I wasn't fast enough.
You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!
Here, hold this.
Look at the size of that thing!
We're starting for the target shaft now.
Luke, pull out!
Watch it - you've got one on your tail!
Watch your back, Luke!
I'm on him, Luke.
They came from... behind.
You can't do any more good back there.
Hurry, Luke. They're coming in much faster this time!
Now let's blow this thing and go home.
All right. Don't lose your temper. I'll come right back and give you a hand.
It's possible he came in through the south entrance.
I thought they smelled bad... on the outside!
You didn't see us alone in the south passage. (What is this unhealthy obsession with the "south passage..."?)
I must have hit pretty close to the mark to get her all riled up like that.
This baby's got a few surprises left in her, sweetheart.
I'm going to get closer to one of the big ones.
Put that in there.
There's an awful lot of moisture in here.
I can't. It's too big.
Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size do you?
Slow down and we'll get under him.
I need more men. (Again relatively innocuous but very camp delivery...)
De wanna wanga (Well it sounds like something else to me...)
What could possibly have come over Master Luke?
Rise, my friend.
- You got her warmed?
- Yeah, she's comin' up.
Hey - point that thing someplace else!
I never knew I had it in me.
I have felt him. (That always got a big laugh in the cinema when I was a kid, that one. And I musta seen it about a hundred times!)
In time you will call me... Master.
You won't convert me as you did my father.
It's pointless to resist my son.
You are unwise to lower your defences.
I'm going in
We could run out of space real fast!
I'm sure Luke wasn't on that thing when it blew.
And my all time favourite Star Wars innuendo is - drum roll please...
I thought that hairy beast would be the end of me! (Empire's even got the best innuendo!)
I'm sorry, but this can't just be a coincidence. Maybe it should be Phnaar Wars! Either Uncle George has a dirty mind. Or I do...
PS: Han clearly cops a feel when Liea gets shot in Return of the Jedi. Handy Solo - what a guy!
