We braved the cold and met and discussed the new Star Wars movie. Many topics were covered. After a lot of discussion, we hunkered down and came up with our own Top Ten Great Quotable Star Wars Quotes.

- We’ll use the Force.
- That’s not how the Force WORKS!
- BEN!
- TRAITOR!
- Who talks first.
- The droid stole a freighter.
- I can fly anything.
- Women always find out the truth. Always.
- I never ask that question until after I’ve done it.
Honorable mentions go to:
- When was the second time.
- Oh, you’re cold.
- These are your first steps.
- Where’s my boyfriend
- The garbage will do.
