In training, TIE pilots were told that aiding fellow fliers was the lowest priority, a task only to be undertaken if nothing else needed to be done.

Between that and naming their ships "Star Destroyers", perhaps the Empire wasn't really all that benevolent?! These cadets were kinda oblivious!

This wasn't any ordinary military action. This was the day the Empire planned to destroy the Rebellion for good. The Rebel Alliance had come, and the Empire was ready for them.

This is it, the most epic battle in the galaxy is about to begin!

The rebel fleet's new base was on an uninhabited planet so small and obscure it had no name, only the numerical designation 5251977.

Because Star Wars premiered on May 25, 1977? I caught that reference! I feel as smart as this cat right now!

They had to try to pluck the Millennium Falcon from the sky. Unfortunately, whoever was steering the Falcon was one hell of a pilot. He'd gone into an asteroid field, apparently choosing suicide over capture.

"As we have no curfew tonight or assigned duty tomorrow, this is an ideal occasion to explore the famous nightlife in Coruscant. I've always been quite interested in the clubs here."

Only Jude Edivon could make a night of partying sound like a science experiment

Ain't no party like a nerd party

"I never thought you were a coward."
"I never thought you were unfit for Imperial service. Now, though? I have to wonder."

Unfit to serve in the most evil Empire in existence? That's NOT the stinging comeback you think it is!

Nash threw his stuff everywhere in a truly spectacular display of messiness, but aside from a few arguments about why it was gross for Nash's dirty socks to wind up on someone's toothbrush, he and Thane were unshakable friends.

We've all had that one roommate

Becoming part of the Empire made Ciena's heart swell with pride. This was strength, grandeur, majesty. This was the kind of honor she'd been raised to value, but taken to heights she'd never dreamed. Nothing could be more beautiful than this.

Oh, Ciena, you're in for such a disappointment...
