Strictly speaking, it does... Leia says it to Luke on Bespin as she's being pulled around the corner by an Imperial officer (played by Jeremy Bulloch, who as we all know is also the guy in the Boba Fett suit). And Jar Jar does have ONE line in RotS... "Excuse me", not thankfully that "exqueeze me" horseshit.
Personally, I think ESB is the best of the OT also, but maybe it's because I'm such a fan of the Empire. Vader is at his badass best in this movie. He kills two of his own officers, takes his kid to the woodshed and cuts his hand off, and keeps screwing Lando left and right.
My favorite all-time character list:
1. Darth Vader - The supreme badass in the OT. When you view the saga as a whole, knowing his whole back story, you truly understand why he's so pissed off all the time and you feel his rage more when he finally kills the Emperor. The duel with Ben on the Death Star really needs re-done now, after watching the prequels it just seems like a letdown.
2. R2-D2 - After seeing the new trilogy, it occurs to me that R2 saves everyone's ass at least once per movie. He fixes hyperdrives, operates heavy machinery, is a great co-pilot, knows exactly what's going on when the humans are clueless and is all around a neat little droid.
3. Han Solo - Was once ranked higher, but the more I watch RotJ, he pusses out in the last film. He's at his wise-ass best in ESB too.
4. Count Dooku - I mentioned in another thread (or even this one I think) that I think he turned in the best performance in the prequels acting-wise, but also he has an interesting character in that he thinks he's in on the Emperor's grand plan but he really isn't. Doesn't find out until too late. Tells Obi-Wan the truth about Darth Sidious because he knows he will not be believed.
5. Obi-Wan - The true hero of the trilogy. The one Jedi Knight who plays by the rules and does it right. Another good performance. He tells Luke in RotJ "I thought I could train [Anakin] as well as Master Yoda. I was wrong." in the book, he continues with something along the lines of "My failure has had disastrous consequences for the galaxy." Hey, he owns his mistakes.
Honorable Mention: Darth Maul, Boba and Jango Fett, Wedge, Emperor/Sidious/Palpatine
Least favorite: Anakin (Ep 1), C3PO (more and more annoying every movie, especially Ep 2), Mace Windu (I love Samuel L. Jackson, but he thoroughly sucked in all three prequels)
