You, Revan, are the single greatest warrior of this age, and any battle we fight will bring me honor.- Canderous Ordo

Equality is a lie…A myth to appease the masses.- Darth Bane


You are forever lost to the worlds you knew.- Vergere

Everything I tell you is a lie. Every question I ask is a trick. You will find no truth in me.- Vergere


The Order can't wait for a great Jedi Knight to lead it. That's what everyone thought I was, and when I died, too much died with me. Don't make the same mistake I did, don't let anyone push you into that. Every Jedi has to be his own light, because the light shouldn't go out when one Jedi dies.- Anakin Solo


If you seek to aid everyone that suffers in the galaxy, you will only weaken yourself… and weaken them. It is the internal struggles, when fought and won on their own, that yield the strongest rewards. You stole that struggle from them, cheapened it. If you care for others, then dispense with pity and sacrifice and recognize the value in letting them fight their own battles. And when they triumph, they will be even stronger for the victory.- Kreia

I don't want to be looked to as the guiding light of the new fealty, and I don't want to be surrounded by students who'll ask more of me than I can explain. Most of all, I don't want to be an object of fascination or admiration, because that'll only distract me from what I really need to learn. I don't have dreams of being a lightsaber master or an ace starfighter pilot, and I'm not on a campaign to change anyone or anything, except myself, maybe, just to clear away some of the confusion that's built up.- Jacen Solo Oh Jacen, what happened to you?

And of course I have to include these:

None of the stories people tell about me can change who I really am. -Luke Skywalker

The stronger you become in the Force, the more you can do, the more that's expected of you, and the less your life belongs to you. -Luke Skywalker

Sev: "It's a fish, Scorch, you'll get over it. So will the fish."

 

The StarWarsBooks facebook totally stole this thread idea!

 

This story happened a long time ago in a galaxy far,
far away. It is already over. Nothing can be done to
change it.
It is a story of love and loss, brotherhood and betrayal,
courage and sacrifice, and the death of dreams. It is a story
of the blurred line between our best and our worst.
It is the story of the end of an age.
A strange thing about stories-
Though this all happened so long ago and so far away
that words cannot describe the time or the distance, it is
also happening right now. Right here.
It is happening as you read these words.
This is how twenty-five millennia come to a close. Cor-
rupption and treachery have crushed a thousand years of
peace. This is not just the end of a republic; night is falling
on civilization itself.
This is the twilight of the Jedi.
The end starts now.

The page before the Introduction: The Age of Heroes in the Revenge of the Sith novelzation

 

"a commodity which, after hydrogen and stupidity, was the most plentiful in the galaxy" - Corran Horn on the TIE Fighter cockpit and ion engine assembly.

"you'd be amazed at how effective these things are in opening doors" - Corran Horn on Lightsabers.

 

To Han Solo, the galaxy seemed a more dangerous place by far. Last line of Vector Prime.
That whole last paragraph was amazing but I don't have the time to find the book and type it all out

 

From Jaden's sig on the temp forum.

"Stupid, stupid. A big fat diversion―the oldest trick on the list. And I fell for it like some dumb farm kid."
"Watch your language." - Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker from Vision of the Future

 

One of the few I seem to remember:

"That's funny."
"Funny ha-ha or funny we're about to die?"
Tahiri and Corran Horn, from The Final Prophecy

 

Even stars burn out.
The dragon inside Anakin Skywalker ROTS novelization

 

That was my favorite part of the whole story. I wish I still had the book.

 

This made the book even more epic. I knew this book was going to be good when I got it and this proved me right. That is the best page in all of Star Wars. This made the book meaningful, that it would change your life.

 

Han: "Well, see, it happened this way: I won a planet in a card game and really wanted to see it badly. Meanwhile, the woman I love was planning to run off with another man, so I convinced her to take a short trip with me. Only when we got here, I found the skies full of warships that shot me down—because no one bothered to warn me that the planet was interdicted—and after we crashed, a bunch of witches decided to start a war over who gets the wreckage of my ship. So I'll tell you, Luke, I've had a really bad week so far. Now, to top it all off, I suppose you're going to lecture me, or arrest me, or beat me up. So tell me, how is your week going?"
Luke: "About the same."

The Courtship of Princess Leia.

 

This is what it is like to be Anakin Skywalker. Forever. (end of ROTS novelization)

"What do you know of your destiny, Obi-Wan?"
"Infinite sadness," he said with a smile. (from Outbound Flight?)

Luke: "What's a duck?" (either the novelization of ANH or Splinter of the Mind's Eye, I forget)

"Sometimes swirling destiny is just swirling destiny." (along with pretty much anything Jolee Bindo says)

Organic meatbags (and other things said by HK-47)

Pretty much any book involving X-Wing pilots, particularly Wedge, Corran, Jaina and Jag.

 

“This threshold is mine...Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush. I don't give a damn. None shall pass." -Ganner Rhysode


“When you always know what is right, where is freedom? No one chooses the wrong, Jacen Solo. Uncertainty sets you free." -Vergere


“Tycho, we're about to achieve a tremendous victory we don't want."
"We'll put that in your biography. General Antilles was so good he couldn't fail when he tried to."
"Thanks."
-Wedge & Tycho


“Han we had the first kiss in the belly of a space slug. Believe me when I say that my expectations of doing anything remotely romantic with you have never been particularly high." -Leia


"That's not what the Empire would have done Commander. What the Empire would have done was build a super-colossal Yuuzhan Vong-killing battle machine. They would have called it the Nova Colossus or the Galaxy Destructor or the Nostril of Palpatine or something equally grandiose. They would have spent billions of credits employed thousands of contractors and subcontractors and equipped it with the latest in death-dealing technology. And you know what would have happened It wouldn't have worked. They'd forget to bolt down a metal plate over an access hatch leading to the main reactors or some other mistake and a hotshot enemy pilot would have dropped a bomb down there and blow the whole thing up. Now that's what the Empire would have done." -Han

 

Imperial Sourcebook:

"There are three ways to defeat your enemy. The first, and most obvious, is to better him in a trial of force. The best way is to have him destroy himself; few enemies are so obliging. The middle way is to destroy your enemy from within. Judicious application of the middle way shall make your blows more effective if you later take the way of force. From the middle way it is also possible to push your enemy onto the path of self-destruction."--Uueg Tching of Kitel Phard, 54th Emperor of Atrisia

 

"Emtrey, shut up. Shut up. Shut up."

 

I posted this in another thread, but it does belong here:

"Honour is a fool's prize. Glory is of no use to the dead." - Darth Bane/Revan.

 

Can't go wrong with "Yub Yub, Commander."
