Search Movie Quotes. Does what it says on the tin, for MCU and Star Wars; cites in the manner of Bible verses.

Huh. The MCU side seems to work fine, the Star Wars one... not so much.

Is the Star Wars one a troll? I think it only has Episodes I-III?

Perhaps the archives are incomplete? Looks to me like the Star Wars search only does Ep I-III.

These are not the Star Wars episodes you are looking for.

yeah, I initially thought I had spelled "scruffy nerf herder" wrong.

What the hell is an aluminum falcon?

It's a cheaper and lighter version of a steel falcon. Less magnetic, too. I hear it made the Kessel Beer Run in less than twelve sixpacs.

Fail on 'bad feeling' and only came up with three citations and didn't even include the first one from 'A New Hope.' Here's a canonical list which includes 13 uses.

It's definitely confined to the prequels. My search for "power converters" -- contained in the best-known whine in the entire series -- returned nothing.

I also tried "[BEEPING]". Should have been a lot of hits even if it only works with Ep I, II, & III.

It is known.

“You came here in that thing? You’re braver than I thought.” NO RESULTS

“Your droids! They’ll have to wait outside!” NO RESULTS

“Harvest is when I need you the most.” NO RESULTS

On the bright side, it turns out I know every line from ANH, so no biggie.

My reaction when I realized this particular concordance was missing episodes IV to VI was like . . . well, now I know how a conservative 19th century Lutheran would feel if you told him you had a Bible index but all the references were Maccabees and Esther. Apocrypha, I say! Apocrypha!

That being said this is a pretty cool concept and I eagerly await it being reconfigured to support the Orthodox Church of The Star Wars Movies I Watched as a Kid, which will always be the best ones.

Episodes IV - VI will surely cause schisms because the time codes will be screwed up by the additions of new scenes in the various re-releases.

(It says a lot, I feel, about the audience on MetaFilter’s age and proclivities that the thread has gone this way instead of becoming a bunch of MCU quotes.)

(And, and, the idea that you could conceive of making a Star Wars quote looker-upper that doesn’t have IV-VI as opposed to deciding that it was a waste of time suggests a whole cultural shift that I am not cool with.)

"Hey, it looks like we just won the star war!" didn't find that one either.

(getyarn.io has you covered too, tho it picks up a heckuva lot of Family Guy)

"Upon common theaters, indeed, the applause of the audience is of more importance to the actors than their own aprobation. But upon the stage of life, while concience claps, let the world hiss! On the contrary if concience disapproves, the loudest applauses of the world are of little value."

I'll do you one better. Why is Gamora? (III Avengers 80:07)

My brain insists on reading III Avengers as “the third letter of Paul to the Avengers.”
posted by mbrubeck at 5:57 PM on May 2, 2022 [5 favorites]

The consensus of scholars seems to be that III and IV Avengers had a different author(s) than the first two letters to the Avengers.

"We have a Hulk" is the only great line from any of the MCU movies.

I now know that I want I Avengers 119:01-06 on my grave marker.
(Although more of my friends and family would say I Avengers 111:41 was more fitting.)
