History Funny / TheEmpireStrikesBack

* Deleted scenes. The crew are fleeing from the invading Snowtroopers in Echo Base and C-3PO stops for a second and removes a wampa warning sign in a trollish manner. Moments later a Snowtrooper opens the door and a wampa's hand pulls one of his comrades inside. The trooper promptly closes the door. Then Darth Vader walks up, apparently hears the screams inside, and nonchalantly moves on down the corridor.

'''Lando:''' [''gasping for breath''] Gasp... Choke... Wheeeze....

* After escaping Cloud City with ''Falcon'', Leia insists to go back to save Luke, prompting Lando to protest that the Imperials would catch up to them. This causes Chewie to angrily roars at him, causing him to immediately back down saying "Alright! Alright!" in a tone that screams, "Alright, geez, I get it! [[NeverLiveItDown I betrayed Han]], so now I will do whatever you guys told me to do."

** "No, no, NO! ''This'' one goes here, ''that'' one goes there, right?!

** "[[HopeSpot All right, that's it.]] Try it. [''something catches fire''] [[OhCrap Oh, turn IT OFF TURN IT OFF!!!]]" -Chewie proceeds to freak out as he tries to do just this-

-->'''Leia:''' ''[storming out of the command center after Han]'' HAN!\\

'''Leia:''' Yes. You're a great help to us. You're a natural leader.\\

'''Han:''' I can arrange that. ''[walking away]'' [[YouNeedToGetLaid You could USE A GOOD KISS!!]]\\
''[Leia sees someone listening to their conversation... who turns around and hurriedly makes himself scarce]''

''[Han covers C-3PO's mouth as he talks to the officer]''\\

''[Han removes his hand from 3PO]''\\

'''Han:''' ''(walks away in deep thought)'' Why not?\\

'''Artoo:''' ''[beep beep beep]''\\
'''Threepio:''' ''But it's '''supposed''' to be freezing!'' How we're going to dry out all her clothes, I really don't know,\\
'''Artoo:''' ''[bleeps sourly]''\\

'''Artoo:''' ''[bleeps sourly again]''

''[Chewbacca laughs]''\\
'''Han:''' Laugh it ''up,'' fuzzball! But you didn't see us alone in the south passage; she expressed her true feelings for me.\\

-->'''C-3PO:''' ''[as the door shuts]'' How typical. ''[the door opens up again and Han yanks him through]''

** Though sadly altered in the Special Edition, there's Luke's quip to R2 as he helps the filthy droid back up.
--->'''Luke:''' You're lucky you don't taste very good. / You were lucky to get out of there.[[note]]The latter version previously appeared in "The Story of The Empire Strikes Back" record album.[[/note]]

-->''[Yoda gets Luke's little flashlight]''\\

'''Han:''' [[KnewItAllAlong Well of]] ''[[KnewItAllAlong course]]'' [[KnewItAllAlong I'll have to replace it.]] ''[passing Chewie some cables]'' Here. And Chewie... ''[quietly, sheepishly]'' ...I think we better replace the negative power coupling.

[Chewie roars at him angrily as if saying "Fucking what!?"]\\

* After Lando ratted out on Han and tried to gain Leia's trust by opening Chewie's handcuffs, Chewie decides to play [[IncrediblyLamePun Stranglo Calrissian]].

'''Leia:''' ''[smugly]'' We don't need any of your help.

'''Leia:''' ''[exasperated]'' What?\\

'''Lando:''' ''[choking]'' There's still a chance to save Han....at the East... Platform!\\

'''Chewie:''' ''[drops Lando like a sack of rubbish as he and Leia run to said platform]''\\
'''Lando:''' ''[gasping for breath]'' Gasp... Choke... Wheeeze....

''[Chewie then pushes Lando out of his way to fix it, again]''

* "Artoo, come back here at once! ''[standing in doorway holding up his one severed lower-leg]'' You haven't finished with ''me'' yet! You don't know how to fix the hyperdrive! ''Chewbacca'' can do it! I'm standing here in pieces and ''you're'' having delusions of grandeur!" (Of course, seconds later, Artoo ''does'' fix the hyperdrive, and he slides bodily into a maintenance pit for his trouble.)

'''Mark:''' Yeah! ''[to another crewmember]'' Didn't he bite me? He just took– it was a little love-nip!

'''Chewie:''' ''[gestures wildly and says something in Shyriwook that's clearly along the lines of ''"where the hell have you been?! I'm up here doing all the work!"'']''[[note]]Pretty much accurate, as this was what Peter Mayhew, Chewie's actor, said behind the scenes[[/note]]\\

*** Watching the films in story order and thus knowing Luke & Leia are twin siblings just makes Luke's resigned reaction funnier. He's basically a guy watching his best buddy and sister do their usual UnresolvedSexualTension routine and he's so done with it

*** Even better — given that the rest of the series really doesn't paint ConsummateProfessional Fett as the BloodKnight maniac Vader's statement implies — that there was [[NoodleIncident that one time]] something went awry and now Vader just sees Boba Fett as "the disintegration guy" and Fett just now [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten has to begrudgingly accept it]].[[note]]The NoodleIncident in question was later summarized in Fett's POV story from ''Literature/FromACertainPointOfView''... And it wasn't even Boba's fault, it was ''the criminals'' who brought disruptors to that fight only to discover the hard way that [[CrazyPrepared Boba has always a counter to disruptors ready]]. Then Boba picked up the ashes and tried to cash in the bounty, but Vader, who had posted it, refused because they couldn't be identified[[/note]]

*** Even better, when you read [[LiteratureRevengeoftheSith]] you lean that it was Captain Needa, then a Lieutenant-Commander, who ordered a ''TheBattlestar StarDestroyer'' to fire on the Invisible Hand. One gets the impression that Vader held a grudge.

* Yoda just generally trolling the crap out of Luke when they first meet (even more HilariousInHindsight once you've seen the full set of films [and ''The Clone Wars''] and know who Yoda actually is, and the fact that R2-D2 knows it too).

* When Luke is invited by this odd small green alien to his house, Luke told R2 to stay at their camp (near their starship). Two scenes later, R2 quietly follows them to the house to take a peek from one the house's windows and beeps curiously. FridgeBrilliance after you've watched the Prequel Trilogy, as R2 knows that odd small green alien is Yoda, the Jedi Master they're looking for. So R2, after witnessing how Yoda pretending to be a silly little alien, is probably wondering what the old Jedi Master was trying to do to {{troll}} Luke. Later, in several shots during the scene after Yoda revealed his identity, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent R2 can still be seen peeking from outside the window]].

[[Chewie roars at him angrily as if saying "Fucking what!?"]]\\

*** After watching ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', this either becomes even ''more'' HilariousInHindsight.

* When Vader is examining the carbon-freezing chamber, Vader snarks that it's crude, but it'll do the trick for getting Luke to the Emperor. Lando tells him that trying to carbon-freeze Luke could kill him since it's not exactly meant for use on humans. Vader pretty much just shrugs and agrees... and that they'll test it on Han. You'd think Vader was testing how much baking soda to use for a homemade volcano. Furthermore, ''The Clone Wars'' showed that Anakin previously carbon-froze his ''entire team'', so Vader even knows a human can survive carbon-freezing, it's just Lando's "crude" chamber that worries him.

-->'''Lando:''' They told me they fixed it! I trusted them! ''It's not my fault!''\\
