You cannot hide forever, NMFSH.
(Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi)
Han Solo: I love INFI.
Princess Leia: I know.
(Princess Leia, Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi)
Good. Use your Hoggish feelings, boy. Let the INFI flow through you.
(The Emperor, Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi)
Theres always a bigger blade.
(Qui-Con Jinn, Star Wars Episode I: Phantom Menace)
Im just a simple man, trying to make my way through the Trough.
(Jango Fett, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones)
Im terribly sorry about all this. After all, hes only a Piglet.
(C-3PO, Star Wars Episode V: Empire Strikes Back)
Darth Vader: There will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the NMFSH. You are free to use any methods necessary but I want it Combat Grade - no Satin!
"Governor Tarkin, I should have expected to find you holding Vader's NMFSH. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board." - Leia in A New Hope
The HOG-FU is what gives a HOG his power. It's an energy field created by all things INFI. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the Forum together.
-Obi-Wan
Obi-Wan: "Your father's NMFSH. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a Import; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the HOGS were the guardians of INFI in the Old Republic. Before the dark times... before the Empire."
Obi-Wan: "Nuclear Meltdown Fusion Steel Heart. Obi-Wan... Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time."
Luke: No, my father didn't fight in the Trough over INFI. He was a navigator on a spice freighter.
Obi-Wan: That's what your uncle told you. He didn't hold with your father's ideals; he felt he should've stayed here and not gotten involved.
Luke: You fought in the Trough over INFI?
Obi-Wan: Yes. I was once a HOG, the same as your father.
Luke: I wish I'd known him.
Obi-Wan: He was the best F5'er in the galaxy, and a cunning HOG. I understand that you've become quite a good F5'er yourself. And he was a good friend.
Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the NMFSH, and a powerful ally it is. Busse Combat creates it, makes it sharp. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the INFI around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.
--YODA, The Empire Strikes Back
Ive been waiting for you, NMFSH. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the Piglet; now I am the HOG.
