i am going to have to think about this
🙂
got a funny feeling that they are all horse!
🙂
‘Horse’ was the only one I got!
I can’t really imagine Obi Wan ever talking about a horse, what with them being in a galaxy so far away.
i’m quite sure he said ‘Luke, use the horse’
🙂
HAHAHAHA!
Nope, “horse” I think is from Richard the Third.
Should I be embarassed or proud that I knew all the Star Wars last words and none of the Shakespeare ones?
Not as much as I. I didn’t get any.
I think I can hazard a reasonable guess at maybe 3 of them.
However I’m surprised that more of them didn’t end with ‘Aaaaaaaaargh!’
I’m pretty sure that was Emperor Palpatine’s last exclamation, but I guess it’s not technically a word.
I had also wanted to include Jabba the Hutt, but I couldn’t decipher his final gurgling noises.
We all know Hamlet didn’t die. The Danish government faked his death and he’s been hiding out in an underground bunker faking moon landings.
Great challenge…I didn’t know some of them, but I Think Othello’s Last Word is not correct…but i’m not quite sure…

Absolutely right! And you are right – I got Othello wrong (I stopped reading and missed his two extra whiny lines at the end!) so I’ll fix the cartoon! 🙂
Fixed!
‘C’ must be Richard III, from the famous line “My kingdom for a horse!” I have no idea about any of the others.
I think…
Palpatine is (A)
Obi Wan is (D)
Tarkin is probably (E)
and…
Oh! Oh! I think Vader was (F)
Ashamedly, I can’t remember any Shakespeare ones. This is difficult. And completely brilliant.
Ack! So stumped.
I think…
Darth Vader – F
Obi Wan Kenobi – G
Hamlet – I
Macbeth – B
Othello – H
Richard III – C
Romeo – A
… and … that’s all I got. I don’t even know who Greedo is.
Greedo is the one who DIDN’T shoot first.
I thought Darth Vader’s last word was “have.”
Luke – I’ve got to save you.
DV – You already have.
Almost! He says a bit more after that: “Tell your sister…”
Grand Moff Tarkin’s isn’t on the list. His last word is “chances” from the line: “Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances.”
“…you may fire when ______ .”
Nice job, Savage. You’ve made me ashamed that I know all the Star Wars references, but not a one from Shakespeare.
This is a trick. I was thinking for Darth it’d be “silence”, but obviously not his absolute last word.
Let’s see…
Darth Vader: “You were RIGHT.”
Emperor Palpatine: “then, DIE.”
Tarkin:
Greedo: “this TIME.”
Obi Wan: “more powerful than you can IMAGINE”
Hamlet:
Macbeth:
Othello:
Richard III: “kingdom for a HORSE!”
Romeo: “with a KISS”
Juliet:
Right – Darth Vader
Die – Palpatine
Enough – Tarkin
Ready – Greedo
Imagine – Kenobi
He,s dead Jim
“How many can you figure out (without help from the internet)???”
Um, that would be zero (enjoyed reading the answers in the other responses).
ALLAS POOR YORRIK I KNEW HIM WELL and YORIK was a jester i belive
I’m OK on Shakespeare and rubbish on Star Wars:
Hamlet:The rest is SILENCE.
Macbeth: And damn’d be him that first cries, ‘Hold, ENOUGH!’
Othello: Killing myself, to die upon a KISS.
Richard III: A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a HORSE!
Romeo: Thy drugs are quick. Thus, with a kiss, I DIE.
Juliet: This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me DIE.
Vader F – ‘Tell your sister you were right.’
Palpatine A – ‘and watch you die (I think)’
Tarkin – E. ‘You may fire when ready.’ I thought it was chances, but remembered this at the last second.
Greedo
Obi Wan Kenobi D ‘If you strike me down I will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.’
Hamlet G ‘The rest is silence.’
MacBeth B ‘Lay on, MacDuff. And damned be he that first cries, “Hold, enough!” ‘
Othello
Richard III
Romeo A ‘Thus, with a kiss, I die.
Juliet
actually none of these belong to romeo his last line is “with a kiss i depart” so his last word is depart
Vader: “Tell your sister you were right”;
Palpatine: “now, young Skywalker, you will die”;
Tarkin: “You may fire when ready”;
Greedo: “I’ve been looking forward to killing you for a long time”;
Kenobi: “I will become more powerful that you could possibly imagine”;
Hamlet: “The rest is silence”;
Macbeth: “Hold, enough”;
Othello: “Killing myself, to die upon a kiss”;
Richard III: “A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse”;
Romeo and Juliet: “Thus with a kiss I die” and “there rust, and let me die”.
A lot of people die saying “die”!
I admit I had to google Greedo, at last… that was a tough test, really!
