20 of the Most Romantic Star Wars Quotes

Star Wars is many things; it’s a story of hope, a fight between good and evil, and a coming-of-age tale. But it’s also a celebration of love. If it weren’t for the passion of many Star Wars characters, we would not have the wealth of stories we do in the galaxy far, far away. In celebration of Valentine’s Day, here are 20 of the most romantic quotes from Star Wars. (Feel free to use one with the nerf herder, rebel princess, or special person in your life.)

1. “I truly, deeply love you. Before we die I want you to know.” — Padmé Amidala

As Anakin and Padmé are about to be carted into the Geonosians’ execution arena where they’re scheduled for certain death, Padmé professes her love

Remembering Industrial Light & Magic Innovator Robert Blalack

One of the seminal figures in the establishment of Industrial Light & Magic, Robert Blalack passed away on February 2 at the age of 73. Everyone at Lucasfilm mourns his passing, and joins the industry in celebrating his contributions to the craft of visual effects and filmmaking. Our hearts go out to Mr. Blalack’s family and the entire visual effects community.

As the supervisor for composite optical photography on Star Wars: A New Hope, Blalack was responsible for establishing ILM’s first optical department in Van Nuys, California, including the acquisition of cameras and optical printers for the compositing of visual effects shots. By piecing together separate film elements of starships and laser blasts photographed by the ILM crews, these tools actually made the effects audiences would glimpse onscreen.

“It’s Pure Magic”: Celebrating John Williams and His Music

Star Wars, and many of the movies we love, would not be the same without John Williams. With a body of work that includes the scores for the nine-film Star Wars saga, Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Indiana Jones, and Jurassic Park, to name but a few, Williams’ compositions are embedded in our memories and lives. From a dorsal fin emerging out of beach waters, to Luke Skywalker gazing longingly at setting twin suns, to the goosebump-inducing sight of a towering brachiosaurus, his music connects us to characters and worlds in ways that touch us deep down. It’s romantic, stirring, gorgeous — to imagine these scenes and films without his music is near impossible.

From the Pages of Star Wars Insider: Billy Dee Williams and Donald Glover Talk Lando in Galaxy’s Greatest Heroes Special – Excerpt

Hello, what we here? 

The next collection of classic Star Wars Insider features — Star Wars: The Galaxy’s Greatest Heroes — arrives February 15, celebrating the Jedi, rebel princesses, and Wookiee warriors we love. But not to be left out, of course, are the charming rogues. In StarWars.com’s exclusive excerpt of the magazine special, Billy Dee Williams and Donald Glover speak at length about bringing our favorite cape-wearing, smooth-talking scoundrel Lando Calrissian to life, talking capes, charisma, and character.  

LANDO CALRISSIAN – Suave, debonair, and charismatic, Billy Dee Williams’ portrayal of Lando Calrissian in the original trilogy created a cape-swirling icon before Donald Glover played the character as a younger man.

Already a respected actor prior to his casting in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Billy Dee Williams was only

Go Figure: How Classic Star Wars Toys Made Me A Fan

This was 1978, and Kenner had only made 12 figures — Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Obi-Wan, C-3PO, R2-D2, Darth Vader, Stormtrooper, Death Squad Commander, Tusken Raider, and Jawa. That decision was how I learned about sales tax (the price tag at the toy store said $1.99 but you needed $2.13 at the register) and to budget. It also super-charged my impulse to not only collect but also be a completist: These days I collect not just action figures but also baseball cards, music, and books.

But collecting figures also super-charged my interest in Star Wars and storytelling. I’d fallen in love with George Lucas’ movie the previous summer, but back then the saga only consisted of one film and a monthly Marvel comic book. I turned to my action figures
