"My God....it's full, of stars!".
Hardly as profound as Dave Bowman's now famous line from "2001: A Space Idiocy", and well past overdue. So much so that it is quite redundant, as you go so quickly through the terrain on a speeder, avoiding pesky gangs of spiders, lizards and the other annoying pests that you'll hardly notice.
