30 Years of Expanding the Universe, A Jedi Council event: The Top 100 EU Quotes

I liked this too- Good to know Jacen is still somewhat "thinking."

There were a lot of cute Skywalker/Solo family moments in the beginning of LoTF "Betrayal," but I passed my copy on to a friend. Anyone care to dig them out? I think a few might be worth mentioning.

 

Indeed he does, one of the finest of EU characters.

9. ?Boom.? ? Wes Janson

Luke: "Malevolent?"

Corran: "Think Hutt, but with eyebrows."
I, Jedi

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

The single most bad ass line in Star Wars.

2. "Thats Treason! I like it"- Booster Terrik

I enjoy Booster Terrik greatly. One of the more underrated characters

3. "When I was walking around today, I met a young man who had no head. Just a stump that suggested he had a long, sad story to tell. But of course he couldn't, because he had no head. So I gave Whitecap to him. The man now has the voice and mannerisms of a 3PO unit, but they're better then nothing."-Hallis Saper

Contrary to popular belief, this is the best line in Starfighters of Adumar.

4. "The sarlacc found me somewhat indigestible."

I lol'd. Anakin is a pimp also.

7. "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 drop a bomb down there and blow the whole thing up. Now that's what the Empire would have done."
Han Solo

Han Solo discussing the tactics and strategies of the Empire.

8. "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 all this 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. Corruption 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."
-Revenge of the Sith

Gotta quote some Stover.


9. "We'll put that in your biography. General Antilles was so good he couldn't fail when he tried to."
Tycho Celchu



Aaaand...I'll keep working on the other 11.
Sort of says it all, doesn't it?

 

Quick question, are the quotes meant to be ranked? I'll have to resubmit them if they are.

EDIT: Resubmitted, with better choices as well.

 

Wow that diplomacy quote was in several lists.

Then there's Wraith Squadron's motto.

 

1. "The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins--but in the heart of its strength lies weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back.
Love is more than a candle.
Love can ignite the stars." -Matthew Stover Revenge of the Sith novel

2. "You may win the occasional battle against us, Vorrik, but the Empire will always strike back. That I promise you." - Gilad Pellaeon Force Heretic I: Remnant

3. "I suppose...I suppose you speak the truth. I alone must accept responsibility for my fate. I wanted to be Master of the Sith and ruler of the galaxy. But that destiny was not mine, Revan. It might have been yours, perhaps...but never mine. And in the end, as the darkness takes me, I am nothing." Darth Malak Knights of the Old Republic

4. "Love doesn't lead to the dark side. Passion can lead to rage and fear, and can be controlled, but passion is not the same thing as love. Controlling your passions while being in love, that's what they should teach you to beware, but love itself will save, not condemn you." Jolee Bindo Knights of the Old Republic

5. "This threshold is mine. I claim it for my own. Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush. I don't give a damn. None shall pass." Ganner Rhysode Traitor

8. "Hello, Master. I'm running now -- but I've had time to reflect on your teachings. You say the living sometimes have to suffer to serve a larger goal. I've seen how you live by that. Well I have a goal now too. Justice. For myself. For my friends. For the people sacrificed to the plans of the so-called infallible. And it will definitely involve some suffering. Because you see, I've had a vision of my own. One day one of you is going to confess and clear my name. And to make sure, I'm going to hunt down each and every one of you. The one that confesses, lives. I don't care which one of you does it. It doesn't matter where they send you. You have a death mark, same as me. Don't look for me, Lucien. Because I'll find you. And if I do end up collapsing the Jedi Order, just remember one thing. You started it. Zayne Carrick Knights of the Old Republic: Commencement

9. "Pretty. What do we blow up first?" Myn Donos Solo Command

10. "Is every third human in this galaxy named Solo?" Khalee Lah Dark Journey

11. "The Sith again! Zayne, you and I could be Mandalorians with our boots to your masters' throats, but to get them to notice us, we'd have to paint out heads and babble about the dark side!" Alek Squinquargesimus Knights of the Old Republic: Crossroads

12. "Y'know, I'm gonna give up asking if you're crazy. Let's consider it a standing question, huh? Every time you open your mouth, go ahead and assume I'm wondering if nikkle nuts have started falling out of your earholes. 'Good morning, Nick.' Are you crazy? 'Nice day, isn't it?' Are you crazy?" Nick Rostu Shatterpoint

13. "We're going to face them with an enemy they've never had the displeasure of fighting. We're going to hit them with the Empire."
"They're not going to like the Empire." Wedge Antilles and Tycho Celchu Rebel Dawn

14. "Bad bad men. Women too, to be fair. Oh, yes. They make a fine sandwich, also, heh, heh, heh. But don't tell the Jedi Council I said that." Jolee Bindo talking about the Sith Knights of the Old Republic

15. "The Sarlacc found me somewhat indigestible, Solo." Boba Fett Dark Empire

16. "What do you hate so much that you could defeat me?"
"Myself." Darth Maul and Darth Vader Tales: Resurrection

17. "If we had a battle cry, it would probably be, 'Have you triple-checked this with your superiors?'" N

 

I bid you Dark Awesomeness.

"What's our strategy?" - Tycho
"I thought we'd just all draw and fire. But I could count down to zero and then we could draw and fire." ? Hobbie

the first of many from these guys. Allston's humor is amazing.

93. "You're going to take me? You and what Sith Lord?" ? Jaina Solo to Kyp Durron A younger and more confident Jaina. Someday she'll get back to this, one hopes.

78. "Am I deluding myself, Jaina? Am I making the same mistake as Grandfather? I have days - most days - when I'm as certain of this as I've ever been certain of anything.

But if I were motivated by ambition, then I wouldn't suffer this doubt, would I? Jaina, I can't tell you all this, not yet. You wouldn't see it. But when you do, remember that you're my sister, my heart, and that part of me will always love you, no matter what." ? Jacen Solo to Jaina Solo

85, the Kyp one, was from Dark Journey when they were on Hapes.

 

Um...what's with the multiple 93s and the like? Were there ties?

 

Probably.

And why do I have a feeling that there will be an over-abundance of Allston quotes on this list?

 

This list mostly consists of ties until we get to the top 10, so you'll keep seeing a weird numbering system.

 

There can never be an overabundance of Allston.


71. "Us Darklighters have a point in our lives when we look outside ourselves. We look outside our lives. Some of us, like my father, never do it until the end, and then they regret all the things they didn't do. Your uncle Huff looked outside once upon a time and chose to ignore what he saw. That's why he's become a food magnate here. By building up his little empire here he's too busy to see what's out there. Your cousin, Biggs, had the look at your age. He was determined to go to the Academy and become a hero with his name written big in the stars. He succeeded, better than he ever imagined, I suspect, though I'd have settled for a bit less success and a bit more life for him. And now you, Gavin, my eldest, you have the look." ? Jula Darklighter to Gavin Darklighter

71. "Coming to see you I am. Right now." ? Yoda

71. Venco Autem: "Look at him! This maggot sold himself to me and then tried to resell himself to a higher bidder! And they're all like that in this chamber! And that's what you would die to protect?! That's what you will kill your own brother to defend!"
Sagoro Autem: "No. Not him. Not any of these scum. You never got it, Venco. It's the principles of the Republic I defend. The institution is all we have between us and chaos. Individuals come and go, but the principles remain. And those I'll kill - or die - for."

71. "Nice rear, Lieutenant." ? Shalla Nelprin said after one of the best pranks ever

71. "Sure. I can't move a rock with my mind, but, boy, can I make the rock think it's been moved." ? Coran Horn

71. "Overwhelming odds, tough target, scant chance of survival ? business as usual for Rogue Squadron." ? Corran Horn

71. "Y'know, I'm gonna give up asking if you're crazy. Let's consider it a standing question, huh? Every time you open your mouth, go ahead and assume I'm wondering if nikkle nuts have started falling out of your earholes. 'Good morning, Nick.' Are you crazy? 'Nice day, isn't it?' Are you crazy?" ? Nick Rostu

67. Tycho: "I've been reviewing engineering and performance statistics."
Janson: "What, while we've been maneuvering?"
Tycho: "Yes, restraining myself so that you could keep up with me has left me plenty of time for intellectual pursuits. I also composed a symphony and drafted a plan to bring peace to the galaxy."

67. "The Sith again! Zayne, you and I could be Mandalorians with our boots to your masters' throats, but to get them to notice us, we'd have to paint out heads and babble about the dark side!" - Alek Squinquargesimus
