Saga - PT Saga - OT Saga - ST Saga - Legends Star Wars: Battlefront Banter: Legends Edition.

So I was surfing across youtube and I found this:



Turns out the folks at DICE went through the trouble of voicing unique lines whenever hero characters in Battlefront 2 encounter another, or are on the same team. Since the hero roster covers 3 canon eras, I thought I'd write some banter for Legends Characters as well. I'll get the ball rolling with Kyle Katarn, since he's my favourite. Feel free to join in!


Kyle and Finn

Finn: Are you...? Are you the REAL Kyle Katarn?
Kyle: Real as you are, kid.
Finn: [awed] Oh, wow! The last-gen troopers? They still talk about you! Like you're some kind of legend, or... or a ghost.
Kyle: I'm neither of those things. I'm just a man with a lightsaber, a gun, and a few questions.

Finn: Was it hard?
Kyle: What was?
Finn: Leaving the corps, leaving the empire.
Kyle: ...Wasn't easy, no.
Finn: How did you do it?
Kyle: (cocks gun) One stormtrooper at a time.

Kyle: Do you miss it?
Finn: Miss what?
Kyle: The corps. The camaraderie, the brotherhood.
Finn: ...Every day.
Kyle: ...It gets easier.
Finn: [distraught] Will it? The corps... it's still family. I'm killing family...
Kyle: A dysfunctional, abusive family. You're better off, trust me.

Finn: Why do you hate the empire so much?
Kyle: They killed my father.
Finn: Oh. Sorry.
Kyle: Don't be. I got plenty of payback.

Kyle: So, are they still using the E-11?
Finn: No, they upgraded to the F-11D. It's much better.
Kyle: How's the recoil?
Finn: ...it's got a kick.
Kyle: Large spread?
Finn: Yeah.
Kyle: Doesn't sound like an upgrade.
Finn: It's... plastic! It's lighter.
Kyle: Ooh, plastic! How's the heat capacity?
Finn: [sighs] Terrible. Because plastic.
Kyle: Heh.


Kyle and Poe

Poe: Not a bad shot, old man!
Kyle: Thanks.
Poe: Where did you learn how to shoot?
Kyle: Stormtrooper academy.
Poe: Ha! Nice one! Seriously, where did you learn how to shoot?


Kyle and Rey

Rey: Where did you learn how to swing a lightsaber? You're good!
Kyle: Self-taught. The corps gave me a foundation in hand-to-hand combat and I worked my way up from there. You?
Rey: [smug] Oh, I wasn't trained.
Kyle: [cynical] Hmph... Yeah, I can tell.
Rey: H-Hey! I'm a natural!
Kyle: Talent's no substitute for real training, kid.

Kyle: I could train you, kid.
Rey: I don't need it. The Force guides my hand, always.
Kyle: Not always. Sometimes it abandons us at the worst possible times.
Rey: That's not true... is it?
Kyle: Wanna bet on it?

Rey: How did you get so tough?
Kyle: Carida.
Rey: ...You say that like it means something.
Kyle [sighs] It used to.


Kyle encounters Vader

Kyle: Tall, dark and asthmatic, incoming!

Vader: Kyle Katarn.
Kyle: Lord Helmet.
Vader: ...That will be the last time you call me that.

Vader: You will pay for the Arc Hammer's destruction.
Kyle: Still bitter about that, eh?

Kyle encounters Kylo Ren

Kylo Ren: Kyle Katarn. The way my uncle went on about you... you're not what I expected.
Kyle: Glad to subvert your expectations.
Kylo Ren: I imagined a real Jedi Battlemaster. You look like a mere bantha herder.
Kyle: Well you look like you're about to ask me for some candy, so I guess appearances don't count for much, eh kid?

Kylo Ren: You WILL tell me the location of the Valley of the Jedi.
Kyle: Nice try. No.
Kylo Ren: It was not a request. I can extract the memory, even from your cold, dead brain.
Kyle: It's just adorable how you think you can kill me.

Kyle: sloppy form, crappy saber. Are you SURE Luke trained you?
Kylo Ren: Supreme Leader Snoke is my master.
Kyle: Supreme Leader Snoke should give you a refund.

Kylo Ren: You turned your back on the empire. Death is the fate of all traitors. Are you prepared to meet it?
Kyle: ... Sorry, could you repeat that? Your vocalizer's busted.
Kylo Ren: You think provoking me will unbalance me? Rage gives me strength.
Kyle: Sith don't draw strength from tantrums.

Kyle: [mockingly] Who's an adorable little Sith Lord? You are! Yes, you!
Kylo Ren: ...I will kill you for your affront.


Kyle encounters Rom Mohc

Kyle: It... can't be. Oh, Sithspit.

Rom: Hello, Katarn.
Kyle: That voice! That's not possible!
Rom: Surprised to see me?
Kyle: I killed you and left your corpse to burn on the Arc Hammer! How are you still alive?!
Rom: Did you really think the scope of the Dark Trooper project was limited to this suit alone? Preserving the life of the empire's finest warriors, that was the real goal!
Kyle: You're a clone! You've got to be!
Rom: I am more than a mere clone! I have conquered death! I am more powerful than you can ever imagine! Come, Kyle! Our battle is not yet over!

Rom: [laughing] Where's your little arsenal, Katarn? Sold it all for booze money?
Kyle: I don't need an arsenal to kill you again!
Rom: It wasn't enough to kill me then, and your little saber won't be up to the task now!



Rom Mohc encounters Finn

Finn: What the hell is that?! Some kind of super battle droid?!

Rom : FN2187.
Finn: My name is Finn!
Rom : I have read your file. Your skills, your combat data, your genes... Perfect! You will make a magnificent Dark Trooper.
Finn: A what?!
Rom : Look upon me! Behold the future! A perfect, immortal soldier! The resilience of steel married to the strength of flesh. Join me, Finn! It is not too late! It is your destiny!
Finn: If my destiny is to become a robot zombie freak like you, then it can go screw itself!
Rom: [laughing] Dead or alive, you're coming with me, soldier!

 

Kyle Katarn vs Phasma

Phasma [coldly]: Kyle Katarn. No matter how hard I try, your name is spoken within our ranks, in hushed whispers.
Kyle: I'll try to not let the fame get to my head.
Phasma: Your "fame" will die when I mount your head on a spike for all to see... just like your father's.
Kyle [cold rage]: ...Girl, you don't know it, but you done kriffed up.

Phasma [menacing]: I will erase your legend.
Kyle: Tougher people than you have tried.

Phasma [frustrated]: I refuse to believe you're immortal.
Kyle: I'm not. I just got a nice supply of power cells.


Kyle Katarn vs Boba Fett.

Fett: Katarn.
Kyle: Fett.
Fett: Drinks after this?
Kyle: Assuming we don't kill each other? Sure.

Fett: Good work on the Arc hammer.
Kyle: Figured you'd be mad.
Fett: Let's just say I'm not a fan of Mohc's work.

Kyle: Thought you died on Tatooine?
Fett: Wasn't me. Couple of buffons stole my armour. Had to dive into a sarlacc pit to get it back.
Kyle: No wonder it smells.

Fett: Thought you died at Dromund Kaas. Something about a snake bite?
Kyle: Oh yeah, and after a few days of agony...
Fett: ...the snake died?
Kyle: Heard that one?
Fett: Too many times.

Kyle: You're awfully friendly for a guy trying to kill me.
Fett: Guess I've got too much respect for you.
Kyle: And when they finally put a bounty on my head?
Fett: When they do... I'll give you a head start. You deserve it.

 

MARA JADE (Villain)

Mara and Vader:

Mara: "Lord" Vader.
Vader: Assassin.
Mara: You've been devoting a lot of resources to find this Skywalker. Why?
Vader: That is none of your concern.
Mara: I could take care of him, if you like?
Vader [unimpressed]: You would try.

Mara: Just reviewed some old files. That was some sloppy business with those two Inquisitors.
Vader: They were traitors.
Mara: Were they? As I understand it, they were toasting Koth's death.
Vader: ...
Mara: Was he a friend of yours? I mean—
Vader: Careful, assassin. You delve too deep.
Mara: [laughs] Well, frankly, I don't care why you did it, but next time, just kill them in their sleep? It's less messy.
Vader [meaningfully]: Sage advice.

Mara: What does Palpatine see in you?
Vader: Power. Loyalty... Experience.
Mara: Want to know what I see? I see a crappy iron-lung and no insulation. I see weaknesses, easily exploited.
Vader: Jedi have exploited these weaknesses before. Here I stand.

Mara: So, you survived the An'ya Kuro job.
Vader: Killing Jedi is no mere job. It is a calling.
Mara: Big talk, seeing as I was the one who found her hiding place.
Vader: Still you believe yourself the equal of a Jedi.
Mara: Palpatine has taught me well.
Vader: Palpatine has taught you less than you think.

Vader [about her lightsaber]: Do not presume your new toy makes you a Sith.
Mara: It's more than a toy, it is a token of Palpatine's faith in me, a reward for my loyalty.
Vader: It is slow, and awkward in your hands. It is weakness, easily exploited. You know this.


Mara and Palpatine.

Mara [reverent]: Your majesty.
Palaptine: Ah, Mara Jade. It will be good to see the fruits of your training.
Mara [reverent]: Mark my targets, my lord, and they shall die.

Palpatine: Have you located Vader's... asset?
Mara: No, my liege. He keeps this 'Starkiller' well hidden. I'm... sorry.
Palpatine: Don't be, I would be disappointed if Vader could not keep secrets from me. He's learning... Good.

Mara: My liege! If I prove myself worthy in this battle, will you grant me my request?
Palpatine: Oh, my dear Mara... There is only one way to claim the mantle of a Sith Lord, and that is to kill one.
Mara: Killing Vader will be easy.
Palpatine: I do not speak of Vader.
Mara [realizing]: My liege! I... I couldn't! I wouldn't dare!
Palpatine: And that is why you fail.
