The best of EU quotes - what's your favorite??

Indeed.

Wes- that is one _awesome_ collection of quotes.

 

Kyp- "By the way, can you accomodate a Hutt?"
Han- "A Hutt? Sure, the more the merrier."
-Jedi Eclpise

"You CorSec people are a stitch. Do they program you for sound, or just feed you the manuals? - Moranda Savich, VOTF.

Klif- "You think Bel Iblis is up to something?"
Navett- "That walking sack of annoyance is always up to something."
- VOTF

'Navett swallowed a curse. Picking up his comlink, he thumbed it on. "You've been a busy little girl, haven't you?" he ground out.
"Why good morning," the old woman's voice came back. Didn't she ever sleep? "You're up early."
"You're up late," Navett countered. "And you ought to take better care of yourself. Unaccustomed exercise could be fatal in someone your age."
"Oh, pish," she scoffed. "A little exercise keeps the old heart running smoothly."
"Until you run it up against a sharp object," Navett reminded her darkly. "There are laws on Bothawui against vandalism, you know."
"Only if you know who to deliver the warrant against," she said airily. "And you don't do you?"
- Klif, Navett & Moranda Savich, VOTF

Ok i'll shut up now, it's past my bedtime.

 

(Wes walks in on Wedge w/boot on desk)
Wes: Do I want to ask?
Wedge: Not unless you want me to find a new place for my boot...

 

"Sometimes I un-nerve myself."
~Bria Tharen, Rebel Dawn

~*~Bria

 

~ Luke took a deep breath. "I've got a really bad feeling about this, Han"
"Yeah. Join the club."
~ The Jedi Master smiled ( Privite joke. . . )
~ "Oh come now," she said, mock accusingly. "When have I ever made anything easy for you?" -Mara

That's all I can think of for now. . . more to come.

 

"Something blacker than night stirs the Force, Leia." --Luke Skywalker, when first sensing Darth Vader's presence on Mimban (from Splinter of the Mind's Eye)

My fantasy Episode V is a revised SotME with the battle of Hoth tacked on front. I like to imagine a trailer for such a movie starting with a completely black screen, Mark Hamill's voice saying the quote, and then the rest of the trailer.

 

Love quotes keep em coming

 

<wes: "Yub, yub commander."
"oh stop worrying wedge. It's obvious they adore you. you could throw up all over yourself and they'd love it. By nightfall they'd all be doing it. They'd call it the 'Wedge-purge.' They'd be eating different-colored foods just to add variety."
<WEdge to Tycho: "I thought you'd be able to do what I never could. Get WEs up to an emotional age of fourteen maybe fifteen."
<Tycho: No power in the universe could do that, not Darth Vader and the darkside of the force, not the nuclear devastation of an exploding star."
<Wes: "They'd be competing for distance and volume."
<Wedge: "Wes, just shut up."

<Wedge to Corran: "You're no Luke Skywalker."

<Mara to Exar Kun: "Isard would have had you analyzed and digitized and discarded without a second thought, Darth Vader would have found you amusingly quaint, and the Emperor succeeded in destroying the Jedi so he'd find you the very definition of failure."

<Mara to Coran: "The emperor would have found you to be a hopelessly sentimental fool."
<Corran: "I'll remember that the next time I dance over his grave."

<Viqi Shesh to Tsavong Lah: "WE wish to live at peace with your people."
<Tsavong Lah: "Peace, as the tizowyrm translated her tongue, meant willing and appropriate submission. "Excellent," he said. "We accept your peace."

I'll probably have more later.

 

>Corran to Ooryl in I, Jedi: "Thanks but I think I can handle the child production part on my own."
>Ooryl: "Then you are capable..."
>Corran: "Yes, Very much so. No problems here."

>Corran: "Nope I laid in my course and now I'm going to fly it. This Gornt isn't bad once you get past the tasting, chewing, and choking part."

>Corran to Kun: "I think I'll put a holo-entertainment center right where your standing."

>Corran to Kun: "Life creates the force. You're like a predator overgrazing your prey."

>Corran: "By the Emperor's black bones you hit like a chadra fan."

These are all from I, Jedi becuz I'm currently rereading it. You know fresh in the mind. else I'd have a ton from SoA.

 

If anyone wants to say "It was so Artistically done..." from TTT one more time...Thrawnlovers you don't have to go to all the trouble of the typing. All you gotta do is just mention it. Just say "That Thrawn quote". We'll all know what you're talking about, or we all should by now.

 

Check out the siggy.

 

Lets bring this back from the dead.
My favorite is from Kirana Ti, " The best way to extinguish a shadow is to increase the light."

 

From Wraith Squadron:

Leia: "You looked as though you'd been practicing that formation flying for weeks."
Wedge: "We were," he said straigh-faced. "Liberating Thyferra didn't take up much of our time."
Leia: "You're such a liar. Go talk to these people so we can all go home."

Wes: "You look like you've fought a few rounds with a rancor."
Wedge: "Thanks, Wes. I'm sure General Crespin will appreciate that comparison."

Wedge: "We have pilots today?"
Wes: "We have pilots, possibly the last group, if some late arrivals make it in."
Wedge: "Let's get started. Who's first?"
Janson consulted his datapad.
Janson: "His name is Kettch, and he's an Ewok."
Wedge came upright.
Wedge: "No."
Wes: "Oh, yes. Determined to fight. You should hear him say, 'Yub, yub.' He makes it a battle cry."
Wedge: "Wes, assuming he could be educated up to Alliance fighter-pilot standards, an Ewok couldn't even reach an X-wing's controls."
Wes: "He wears arm and leg extensions, prosthetics built for him by a sympathetic medical droid. And he's anxious to go, Commander."
Wedge slumped and covered his eyes with one hand.
Wedge: "Please tell me you're kidding."
Wes: "Of course I'm kidding. Pilot-candidate number one is a human female from Tatooine, Falynn Sandskimmer."
Wedge: "I'm going to get you Janson."
Wes: "Yub, yub, Commander."
Wedge: "Show her in."

Wedge: "Right. I also understand that you were decorated for conspicuous gallantry. This entitles you to wear the Corellian Bloodstripes. Yet you don't. Why?"
Myn: "It just seems a bit silly, sir. I could also wear a sign saying 'I'm a wonderful person and I give money to the needy.' What's the point?"

"Any more?" said Wedge.
Janson consulted his chrono. "It's getting late. But we have only two more candidates to review."
"Today, or total?"
"Total. Your slave-driving habits have gotten us almost through the first phase of the evaluation process." Janson consulted his datapad. "Next is Voort saBinring, a Gamorrean."
"Very funny. You had me going the first time, Wes, but that joke won't work twice."
"He's a Gamorrean."
"It's impossible to train Gamorrean males to do something as complicated as fighter piloting. They have glandular balances that make them very violent and impatient."
"He's a Gamorrean."
"Just keep up your little joke, then, and send him in."
Janson spoke into his comlink. A moment later a Gamorrean--1.9 meters of glowering porcine presence, dressed in the standard New Repulic pilot's uniform, the bright orange of the jumpsuit clashing nauseatingly with the creature's green skin--walked in and saluted.
Janson smiled irritatingly at Wedge. "Yub, yub, Commander."

Kell was relieved of the need to respond by the arrival of the waiter, which was heralded by a repetitive squeaking. The waiter was a 3PO unit, a protocol droid, but this one was unlike most of the ones Kell had seen: Most were all gold tone or silver, but the waiter was mostly silver with several gold parts, and squeaked with each step. Kell said, "I'll have--'
"Wait," the droid said pleasantly but firmly, in the melodious voice all 3PO units seemed to share. "In the absence of a hierarchy of rank among you, I will default to ancient protocols, and have the lady's order first. My lady?"
Tyria smiled. "Lum. A good one."
Kell said, "I'll have--"
"Wait," said the droid in the same tone as before. "You have now annoyed me twice. This means you will order last of all, but I will still take your order correctly. If you annoy me three times, you would do well not to drink what I bring you."

 

There are about a million great quotes in the Edge of Victory duology. I flipped through both books and took out my favorites.

(From Conquest)

Jacen: (to Anakin and Jaina) "The point is, what are you two doing out here rather than in the meeting?"
Anakin: "We were trying to talk Kyp into staying."
Jacen: "It'd be easier talking a siringana into a box."

Tahiri: "Shoes were invented by the Sith to keep our delicate toes in anguish and misery, I'm sure of it."

Remis Vehn: "Hutt slime! Watch my ship!"
Anakin: "The controls have too much play in them."
Vehn: "No, you're flying like a Twi'lek on spice."

Mara: (to Jacen) "You peeked."

(From Rebirth)

Han: "I know what I'm doing."
Leia: "Right. I've heard that a time or two. I've usually had cause to regret it."
Han: "At least you lived to regret it, sweetheart."

'"Why you--" Corran held back a series of specifically Corellian words that he really wanted to use. But Tahiri was only fourteen. Would he make it through Valin and Jysella's teenage years without turning to the dark side? Probably not.'

Luke: "Is there something you wanted to tell me?"
Mara: "If I wanted to tell you, I would, wouldn't I?"
Luke: "Not if you thought it might upset me."
Mara: "You've got me. I hate that shirt. In fact, I think you're a crummy dresser, period."

Mara: "Put on a little weight and everyone treats you like an invalid."
Mirax: "You'll see how long that lasts after the big event. When Baby Skywalker has a little accident, everyone will magically think you're plenty strong and capable."

Luke: "I'm sure Corran knew what he was doing."
Kam: "Oh, I wouldn't go that far. Anakin and Tahiri, together? No, I doubt he has any idea whatsoever what he's doing."

Jacen: "Well, I'd better finish up with this E-wing today, then, if the Princess of Blood is going to be there to meet it."
Leia: "Don't you start that nonsense, too. Just because you're going with us doesn't mean you have to indulge every stupid thing your father comes up with, you know."
Jacen: "No, you're right to the core, Mom. We Solo men have to stick together. And I kinda like the name. I've been thinking about something to paint on the side--"
Leia: "This conversation is now over."

Jacen: "I'm all pirate. I pillage; therefore I am."

'"You disappoint me, Shalo."
Shalo smiled and shook his head. "No, you disappoint me, Solo. I guess everyone gets old. Now your son pays the price."
Han looked at Jacen in mock surprise. "You're picking up the tab, son?"
"My boss doesn't pay me that well," Jacen replied.
Han looked at Shalo. "I guess now we don't know what you mean, Shalo."
"I mean there's no bounty in the galaxy higher than the one on your boy, here, and I'm collecting it." He raised his hand and dropped it.
Nothing happened. Puzzled, he repeated the signal frantically.
A bright green shaft of light suddenly appeared, jutting out of the tabletop. It terminated a centimeter from Shalo's throat.
"Urk," Shalo said.
"Please don't move," Jacen requested sincerely.'

Han: "It's the Solo blood. It comes with the looks."

Karrde: "Jealous, Solo?"
Han: "How's that?"
Karrde: "Well, your son is pulling down easily three times what you were ever worth."
Han: "Inflation. In Imperial credits it works out about the same."

Jacen: "Dad? Did I ever mention this whole pirate thing was a bad idea?"
Han: "Why no, son, you--"

'As they were scrambling into [the vac suits], Corran shot Anakin a peculiar look.
"What?" Anakin said.
"Should I have left you two unchaperoned?"
Vaping Moffs! Does it show? Anakin wondered.'

Kyp: "You wouldn't have helped me otherwise."
Jaina: "And I'll never help you again. You can count on it. If you were dying of thirst on Tatooine, I wouldn't even spit on you."

Corran: "It's a weird thing."
Anakin: "What's that?"
Corran: "Being happy to see my father-in-law's ship."

Anakin: (looking at the newborn Ben) "Are they all that ugly?"
Mara

 

Some more from Wraith Squadron:

The scarred pilot said, "You know, if I had even the tiniest control over the Force, what I'd do with it?"
She shook her head.
"On those long missions, I'd scratch that little spot in the center of my back I can never reach..."
She stood up fast enough to rattle her tankard of lum. "Go ahead, make fun."
"Oh, come on. You think Skywalker doesn't do that?"
"I don't have time for this. I have things do to." She headed off toward the exit, her stride suggesting she was furious.
Phanan twisted to watch her go. "Can I walk you to your quarters?" he called after her.
"No!" She didn't look back.
"Can I help you with your things?"
"No!"
"What can I do for you?"
"Shoot yourself!" Then she was out the entryway.
Phanan settled back in his chair, looking morose. "I've done that a couple of times. Shooting myself. Accidents. It's not fun."
Kell glared. "Thanks, Phanan, Face. That helped a lot."
The scarred pilot shrugged, apologetic.
Phanan ignored him. He looked around, raised his hand. "Waiter? Hey, you, the bucket of bolts. We could use some service, right now."
Kell grinned. "Phanan, you just named your own punishment."

 

The Daala quote in my sig

 

"Anger is a most sweet nectar. Despair will also suffice." --Exar Kun

 

"so...you wanna get off me or were you just getting comfortable?" -mara jade, spectre of the past

 

"Yub yub Commander" without a doubt.

 

So the question is then Jade, after all these
quotes is

"Yub yub commander"!!

Still one of your favorites?

Cheers

If the crosshairs turn red - fire!

 

indeed it is

Mostly as a taunt or victory cry while playing XvT and UT

 

"Interesting. The Emperor will want a prototype immediately."

Darth Vader's line in the TIE Fighter cutscene where Admiral Zarrin is showing off the TIE Avengers, and mentions prototypes for the next generation of starfighters are also in production. (TIE Defender)

For some reason this line stuck with me, perhaps because the voice actor got the character and personality of Vader down pretty well for the game.

 

Medical Droid: "There is a thin crack in the skull"

Leia: "Han's skull. How is that possible?"

From Dark Journey

 

"You don't have to understand, Lieutenant. Just obey."

-- Grand Admiral Thrawn

 

Boba Fett in Tales of the Bounty Hunters- "Everyody dies"

Luke in Darksaber- "Help me Obi-wan Kenobi, You're my only hope." (I thought that was pretty funny)
