Recently, I have spent most of my time in the Arcade playing the new Atari game "Star Wars". One of the only problems I have found with it is that it is sometimes difficult to hear the digitized speech that comes out of it. Does anybody out there know what it says? I do know about the following: 1. The force will be with you. (The voice of Ben Kanobi (Anakin)) 2. Remember, the force will be with you, always. (Obi) 3. Luke, trust me. (Obi) 4. YAHOO, you're all clear kid! (Luke) 5. Great shot kid, that was one in a million! (Luke) 6. Look at the size of that thing. (Luke) I am particularly interested in: 1. What happens when you lose all of your shields..Luke says "We've lost ...". It would seem that he should be saying "our shields", while to me it sounds like he is saying "We've lost R2!" 2. What is it that Darth Vadar says when his ship comes out? I can barely hear it but I know he is saying something. Thanks, -Ron (..decvax!genrad!mit-eddie!ronnie) or (ronnie@mit-mc [arpanet])

I too have been playing Star Wars a lot. I don't know the answers to the two questions Ron asked, but he did miss one sentence that I caught. When your shields go down to 2, Luke says, ''R2, try and increase the power.'' Also, when you're battling a whole shitload of fireballs (usually, the heavy stuff starts in the third wave), you occassionally hear, ''She can't take it.''

I think that some of the lines that your credit to Luke are actually said by Han. One in particular is the "..one in a million" line. As for Darth Vader, after you hit the thermal port and pull out of the Death Star he says "The Force is strong in this one". He only says this after the second blow-up.

At that point, you actually GET to use the Force. I. e., for a short time thereafter, he could not miss a target, even when he conciously tried to miss. Ross Bogue pur-ee!pur-phy!rb pur-ee!pur-phy:rb

In the third wave tie-fighter section, you hear Darth say, ''Stay in formation.'' Immediately after that, the three tie fighters, who were in formation, split apart.

For those of you reading net.movies.sw, this is about voices in the new arcade game "Star Wars". I would appreciate it if anyone out there would confirm that some of these quotes are from the movie (Star Wars IV). After many conflicting responses to my article, I decided to find out for myself what is said in the game. Equipped with my sister's trusty tape recorder (and, unfortunately, my sister), I marched off to the arcade here in L.A. where I am vacationing. I managed to figure out what everything was with one possible questionable word. Here's what I got in the order in which I heard them (this was not a good game): 1. The force will be with you. Ben Kenobi, when coins is first inserted. 2. Red-5 standin' by. Luke, when credit/trigger button is pushed. 3. I'm on him. Darth Vader, when his ship first comes out. 4. I can't shake 'im. Luke, when enemy ship a lot of shots. 5. Look at the size of that thing. Luke, upon entering the death star at end of attack level (5). 6. Use the force, Luke. Ben, at beginning of catwalk level. 7. I'd hate to drop that, R2. See what you can do with it. Luke, after losing first shield. 8. Luke, trust me. Ben, somewhere in the middle of catwalk level. 9. Yahoo, you're all clear, kid. Han Solo, on site of exhaust port. 10. I have you now. Darth, when his ship first comes out. 11. Red-5, I'm pullin' in. Luke, upon entrance to the death star (6,7,...). 12. Stay/stick low. Ben, in the middle of the catwalk level, when you must stay high. (On this one I'm not sure of the first word.) 13. Force is strong. Darth, upon sight of exhaust port. 14. Great shot, kid. That was one in a million. Han, after shooting exhaust port. (6) 15. Stay in attack formation. Darth, when his ship first comes out. 16. R2, try an' increase the power. Luke, when down to 2 shields. 17. We've lost R2. Luke, when shields are gone. 18. Remember, the force will be with you, always. Ben, after game ends. All the things Darth Vader says come up on random waves. Also, in the game these words were take from, I started on wave 5. On Monday, I was at Atari's coin-op executive offices (Plug: trying to sell them an arcade game idea, so if anyone is in the market, send mail), and Mike Friedman ( manager in charge of licensing and also on the Star Wars development team), is sending me an actual list of what is said. - Ron (..decvax!genrad!mit-eddie!ronnie) (ronnie@mit-mc)

Actually, Biggs -- Red 2, the one who saves luke from a Tie-fighter at one point, is the person who says "Look at the size of that thing"
