The subject line says it all.
Heard this twice recently, the second time on Conan last night (during the bizzare encounter with Al Roker).
I checked IMDB, and it does not appear to be from the MIB movies (my logical first guess). Well, at least I could not find it among the “memorable quotes” listed for the two MIB movies.
So, can anyone please clue me in on the origin of the “These are not the aliens you’re looking for” phrase?
It’s from Star Wars. It’s the Jedi mind-trick.
STAR WARS!!!
replace aliens with droids
Star Wars. Episode 4, movie 1. THe line is “these are not the droids you’re looking for”, delivered by Obi-Wan Kenobi to an Imperial Storm Trooper in the spaceport of Mos Eisley, just before the Cantana scene.
God help me, how did I know all that?
Thanks!
I am clueless no more! (If only that were 100% true …)
Droids, not aliens!
Now I’m “in the know” … I’m “hip” with the “pop” culture all you hepcats are groovin’ to.
Ciao, baby!
Spiff, you are so young…
Don’t forget “You don’t need to see our papers” and “move along”.
Don’t feel too bad, you didn’t spell Cantina right. So you’re not as big a dork as I am…
No, it’s **worse ** than I thought! Now I’m a dork who can’t type!
Oh well, at least I’m secure in the knowledge that *I am Keyser Sosa * . . .
Isn’t it, “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for” or am I misremembering again?
Misremembering, you are not.
Stormtrooper: How long have you had these droids?
Luke: About three or four seasons.
Obi-Wan: They’re up for sale if you want them.
Stormtrooper: Let me see your identification.
Obi-Wan ::waves hand:: You don’t need to see his identification.
Stormtrooper: We don’t need to see his identification.
Obi-Wan: These aren’t the driods you’re looking for.
Stormtrooper: These aren’t the driods we’re looking for.
Obi-Wan: He can go about his business.
Stormtrooper: You can go about your business.
Obi-Wan: Move along.
Stormtrooper: Move along! Move Along!
::moving along::
Luke: How did we get past those troops? I thought we were dead!
Obi-Wan: The Force. It has a strong influence on the weak minded.

Luke (trance-like): The Force. It has a strong influence on the weak minded.
No, I am Keyser Sosa!
I use the Jedi Mind trick on traffic lights.
