Another stab at a Star Wars theme (this time not evolution related)
OD&D/Obi-Wan
Han: "Where did you dig up that old fossil?"
Luke: "OD&D is a great edition!"
Holmes Basic/Luke (A New Hope)
"You've taken your first step into a larger world."
B/X D&D/Luke (The Empire Strikes Back)
"OD&D has taught you well."
BECMI D&D/Luke (Return of the Jedi)
"Your skills are complete. Indeed you
are powerful."
AD&D 1e/Yoda (Original Trilogy)
"When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not."
AD&D 2e/Yoda (Prequel Trilogy)
"Always in motion is the future."
D&D 3e/Death Star I
Admiral Motti: "This edition is now the ultimate power in the universe. I suggest we use it."
Darth Vader: "Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed."
D&D 3.5e/Death Star II
"Now witness the firepower of this
fully-armed and
operational edition!"
D&D 4e/Anakin
"I have a new edition. One that is far younger and more powerful."
D&D 5e/Darth Vader (assuming it's 4e-based and heavily computerized, as many suspect)
"He's more machine now than man."
OGL-Based D&D Clones/Jedi Ghosts (Pathfinder, Castles & Crusades, etc.)
"If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
