Hope you like this, I found it kind of interesting that someone would
actually sit and write all this down! Keep going for they do get better.

STAR WARS - WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
Wedge Antilles: I've lost both starboard engines. My fire control
is out. I can't hold the chickens off any longer!
Lando Calrissian: Well, well... What have we here? A chicken?
Mmmm you truly belong here on my plate!
Cantina Bartender: We don't serve their kind in here. Your
chickens--they'll have to wait across the street.
C3PO: (1) Sir, may I remind you that I am fluent in 6,000,000
forms of communication and this chicken has not...
shutting up, sir.
(2) Sir, according to my calculations, the odds of a
chicken successfully navigating a road are 3,750 to 1
against.
(3) Oh, splendid! We are now a part of the flock!
Boba Fett: What if he doesn't survive the crossing? He's worth a
lot to me!
Bib Fortuna: The chicken must be allowed to cross!
Greedo: You were a good chicken once; now you're Buick fodder!
Princess Leia: (1) Chicken? I thought I recognized your fowl
scent I was brought aboard!
(2) The tighter your grasp, the more chickens will slip through
your feathers!
Jabba the Hut: I have little use for chickens who drop their eggs
at first sign of a cross-walk.
Obi Wan Kenobi: (1) The Force was strong with him.
(2)To follow old obi wan on some damn fool idealistic crusade.
Admiral Ozzel: Lord Vader, the chicken has crossed the street and
is preparing to... acgh! wheeze! cough! THUD!
Emporer Palpatine: (1) Soon the hen-house will be crushed and
young chick will be one of us!
(2) Foolish chicken! Only now, at the end, do
you see the head-lights!
Admiral Piett: Hold here. We only have to keep the chicken from
crossing. I have my orders from the Emporer himself. He has a
special barbeque planned.
R2D2: beep bleep be deep birp whirrrrrrrrr!
Mr. Scott:' Cos ma wee transporter beam was na functioning
properly. Ah canna work miracles, Captain, wi' no dilithium
crystals left to speak of!
Luke Skywalker: (1) But Uncle Owen, Biggs got to go to the
Academy, so did that chicken!
(2) You chickens sure have a lot of rubber
scoring.. you must have seen a lot of road
action!
(3) But how am I to know to the Good Side of the
Road from the Bad?
Han Solo: (1) Crossing roads aint like dustin' crops, chicken!
There's lot of precise calculations. You could walk
right into a Starrion, bounce to close to a Chevy
Nova, and that would end your trip real fast.
(2) I have a bad feeling about this chicken.
Stormtrooper: We don't need to see his feathers... He's not the
chicken we're looking for... He can go about his road-crossing...
Move along... Move along...
Darth Vader: (1) She was seduced by the dark side of the road.
(2) The circle is now comlete. When I left you, I
was a chick... Now, I am the rooster!
(3) The Empire will compensate you if he's squashed.
(4) Because it could not resist the power of the
Dark Side.
(5) Chicken? So! You have a pet chicken! Obi-Wan was
wise to hide it across the street. Now his
failure is complete! If you will not cross to
the Dark Side of the road, then perhaps IT will!
General Veers: The generator will be down in moments... you may
begin egg-laying!
Yoda: (1) Crossing the road makes not a chicken great
(2) Roads? What know you of roads? For 800 years have I
trained chickens; my own counsel I will keep on why
they cross!
(3) This chicken, long time have I watched. Always looking
away to the crossing the road! Never his mind on WHERE
HE WAS! Allante! Hah! El Dorado! Hmph! A chicken has
not use for things such as these
(4) Do not under-estimate the powers of the road, or
suffer the butcher's block you will!
George Lucas: (1) Because the Force was with it.
(2) You'll have to wait for the next set of movies,
1-3, to find out the real reason why the
chicken crossed. The whole point of the current
releases, 4-6, is the story of the chicken's
redemption crossing.
(3) I originally planned to have a chicken army
attack the Stormtroopers on Endor, but the
AT-AT walkers kept squishing them.
(4) The first chicken crossing scene was under budget
and rushed, so I've used ILM's digital editors
to add several more cars and also a school bus,
which has nothing to do with the story, but I
thought looked really cool. The sound effects
have been bolstered by the folks at my THX
studio, and now, for the first time, you can
hear the chicken scream, even though chickens
don't really scream, but the sound, I find,
helps set the tone of the scene. The chicken
itself has been recreated from old footage. We
had to edit out the original road and replace it
with an updated digital road. It looks nothing
like the other roads in the film, but that's
okay because I wanted to show the hustle and
bustle of a real superhighway, full of the
action and of the grand scale that the fans
really deserve. The chicken's blaster effects
have been improved; now you can clearly see that
the Dodge shoots first, making the chicken look
less like a cold-blooded killer. That the Dodge
missed by about seven feet, even though they
were only a lane apart, and that the Dodge had
the draw and plenty of time to aim, merely
demonstrates the chicken's skill. All in all,
the scene is about ten minutes longer, which is
still shorter than I originally envisioned, but
I felt that adding any more might break the flow
of the story. Now the fans can see the chicken
cross the road the way it was meant to be seen,
on the big screen.
John Williams: I'll have to thoroughly research the chicken's
musical background before I can compose a road-crossing theme.
actually sit and write all this down! Keep going for they do get better.
