Jedi Order Quotes

“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. 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.”
― Matthew Stover, Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

“The Jedi Order was more than an unpaid police force, more than just an exercise club that was into metaphysics. It was a way of life, based on the Jedi Code – and a lot of rules for living that weren’t in the Code, that had been tacked on later. One was that Jedi avoided becoming involved in romantic relationships. Once on the run, Kanan Jarrus had found that rule pretty easy to forget about.”
― John Jackson Miller, A New Dawn

“He remembered the Question of Master Jrul: What is the good, if not the teacher of the bad? What is the bad, if not the task of the good?”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Revenge of the Sith[SW REVENGE OF THE SITH M/TV][Mass Market Paperback]

“Padmé,” he murmured, “oh, Padmé, I’m so sorry. Forget I said anything. None of that matters now. I’ll be gone from the Order soon—because I will not let you go away to have our baby in some alien place. I will not let you face my dream alone. I will be there for you, Padmé. Always. No matter what.”

“It is not lost on me that a blind man is the only one who can see your true nature.”
― Matt Owens, Star Wars: Jedi of the Republic - Mace Windu #5

“Being a Jedi is not just about power, or lightsabers, or even skill with the Force. It is about connection. Being part of something bigger. I am stronger as part of the Jedi Order than I could ever be alone.”
― Charles Soule , Star Wars: Obi-Wan & Anakin

“If all who face adversity surrendered to it, nothing of value would remain.”
― Plo Koon

“They’re out there, Drake. They’ll come back to Coruscant, restore the order and make things the way they were. We must stay true to the Force… to take back what’s been taken.”
― Paul Ens, Star Wars: Evasive Action - Recruitment

“He remembered Obi-Wan telling him about some poet he’d once read—he couldn’t remember the name, or the exact quote, but it was something about how there is no greater misery than to remember, with bitter regret, a day when you were happy…
How had everything gone so fast from so right to so wrong?
He couldn’t even imagine.”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Revenge of the Sith[SW REVENGE OF THE SITH M/TV][Mass Market Paperback]

― Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Outbound Flight

“The Jedi were guardians of the galaxy,” said Seeker. His face flickered in the shadows cast by the roaring bonfire, around which the villagers danced and sang. “For more than a thousand years, they wielded the Force to preserve peace. They were beloved by those who loved justice and feared by those who served evil.”
― Ken Liu, Star Wars: The Legends of Luke Skywalker

“This was all he needed. To be here, to be with her. To watch the sunset bring a blush to her ivory skin.
If not for his dreams, he’d withdraw from the Order today. Now. The Lost Twenty would be the Lost Twenty-One. Let the scandal come; it wouldn’t destroy their lives. Not their real lives. It would destroy only the lives they’d had before each other: those separate years that now meant nothing at all.”
