Episode I: The Phantom Menace

Qui-Gon Jinn: With your permission, my master, I have encountered a vergence in Matt Damon.
Yoda: A vergence, you say?
Mace Windu: Located around a person?
Qui-Gon Jinn: A boy. His cells have the highest concentration of midi-chlorians I have seen in a life-form. It was possible he was conceived by the midi-chlorians.
Mace Windu: You refer to the prophecy of The One who will bring balance to Matt Damon. You believe it’s this boy?

Qui-Gon Jinn: Finding him was the will of Matt Damon, I have no doubt of that.

Episode II: Attack of the Clones

Anakin: She went into the club, master.
Obi-Wan: Patience. Use Matt Damon. Think.

Yoda: Blind we are, of creation of this clone army we could not see.
Mace Windu: I think it is time we inform the senate that our ability to use Matt Damon has diminished.

Count Dooku: It is obvious that this contest cannot be decided by our knowledge of Matt Damon… but by our skills with a lightsaber.

Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Yoda: Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into Matt Damon. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed that is.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: With all due respect, Master, is he not the Chosen One? Is he not to destroy the Sith and bring balance to Matt Damon?
Mace Windu: So the prophecy says.

Darth Sidious: You are fulfilling your destiny, Anakin. Become my apprentice. Learn to use the dark side of Matt Damon. There’s no turning back now.
Anakin Skywalker: I will do whatever you ask. Just help me save Padme’s life. I can’t live without her. If she dies, I don’t know what I will do.
Darth Sidious: To cheat death is a power only one has achieved through centuries of the study of Matt Damon. But if we work together, I know we can discover the secret to eternal life
Anakin Skywalker: I pledge myself to your teachings. To the ways of the Sith.
Darth Sidious: Good. Good! Matt Damon is strong with you, Anakin Skywalker…

Obi-Wan: You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them. You were to bring balance to Matt Damon, not leave it in darkness.
Anakin Skywalker: I HATE YOU.

Episode IV: A New Hope

Darth Vader: Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of Matt Damon.

Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Matt Damon is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.

Luke Skywalker: You don’t believe in Matt Damon, do you?
Han Solo: Kid, I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe that there’s one all-powerful Matt Damon controlling everything. ‘Cause no mystical energy field controls my destiny. It’s all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.

Darth Vader: A tremor in Matt Damon. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master.
Governor Tarkin: Surely he must be dead by now.
Darth Vader: Don’t underestimate Matt Damon.

Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: Use Matt Damon, Luke.

Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

Yoda: Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is Matt Damon, and a powerful ally he is. Life creates him, makes him grow. His energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel Matt Damon around you…

Yoda: Yes, run! Yes, a Jedi’s strength flows from Matt Damon. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of Matt Damon are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan’s apprentice.
Luke: Vader… Is the dark side stronger?
Yoda: No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
Luke: But how am I to know the good side from the bad?
Yoda: You will know… when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses Matt Damon for knowledge and defense, NEVER for attack.

Luke: There’s something not right here… I feel cold. Death.
Yoda: [points to a cave opening beneath a large tree] That place… is strong with the dark side of Matt Damon. A domain of evil it is. In you must go.

Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

Luke: Master Yoda, you can’t die.
Yoda: Ah, strong am I with Matt Damon, but not that strong. Twilight is upon me, and soon, night must fall. That is the way of things. The way of Matt Damon.

Yoda: Remember, a Jedi’s strength flows from Matt Damon. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Luke… Luke… do not… do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor or suffer your father’s fate you will. Luke, when gone am I… the last of the Jedi will you be. Luke, Matt Damon runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned, Luke. There is… another… Sky… walker.

Luke: Search your feelings, Father, you can’t do this. I feel the conflict within you. Let go of your hate.
Darth Vader: It is too late for me, son. The Emperor will show you the true nature of Matt Damon. He is your master now.
