Star Wars Quotes

“Snoke's escape shuttle is gone," the general replied.
Kylo considered that. Rey had recovered first. She must have realized he was at her mercy, yet she'd left him alive.
Almost as if she cared for him.”

“Ben Solo had sought to abandon everything he had been, even casting aside his name. But Luke sensed that Kylo Ren was just a shell around the same broken boy he had tried so hard to reach.”
― Jason Fry, The Last Jedi: Expanded Edition (Star Wars)

“I know everything I need to know about you," she countered, taken aback.
"You do?" he asked, and peered at her, eyes intent. "You do, You have that look in your eyes from the forest, when you called me a monster."
He came within a meter or two of Rey, and she wondered what would happen if she refused to move and they intersected. Would she find herself in his mind again, and have to endure his presence in hers? Could they actually touch, across a galaxy?
"You are a monster," Rey said, remembering the terror of her paralysis on Takodana.
She stared back at him -- and found his. eyes full of hurt. Hurt -- and conflict.
"Yes, I am," Kylo said, and there was no menace in his voice -- only misery.”

“Failure most of all. The greatest teacher failure is.”
― Jason Fry, The Last Jedi: Expanded Edition (Star Wars)

“The moment Rey reached her hut she had felt him near her, in the Force. The connection between them was so raw and powerful that it reminded her of touching a live wire in the wreckage of a starship. She had closed her eyes, opened them, and found Kylo Ren there--right next to her where she sat on the stone bench. As if she could actually reach out and touch his hand, his face, his hair.

At the sight of him she'd felt relief surge through her.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“Kylo had rummaged through these hopes and fears, things he had no right to. But as he searched, something had changed. Even as he callously rifled through her mind, he had somehow revealed his own. Rey found herself in his mind even as he invaded hers. She felt his rage, like a ruinous storm that filled his head, and his hatred, and his lust to dominate and humiliate those who wronged him. But she also felt his hurt, and his loneliness. And his fear -- that he would never prove as strong as Darth Vader, the ghost who haunted his dreams.
Kylo had retreated at finding Rey in his head -- had practically fled from her. But that had not been the end of that strange, sudden connection. She had seen more -- far more. Somehow, almost instinctually, she knew how he accessed some of the powers at his command -- even though she didn't understand them. It was as if his training had become hers, unlocking and flinging open door after door in her mind.
But now Rey couldn't shut those doors -- and she feared what had been set loose.
Kylo had urged her to let him be her teacher -- had pleaded with her, almost.”

“Kylo Ren knew who was in the escape pod even before it opened with a hiss of vapor---her presence had been a steady pulse from the Force the moment his junk-heap freighter once again somehow heaved itself out of hyperspace without disintegrating. The stormtroopers behind him stood ready, but he just smiled at the sight of Rey crammed into the pod's tight confines.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“His smile faded at the sight of his uncles lightsaber.

“i’ll take that” he said. “It belongs to me”…

“Strange, then, that it called to me at the castle” Rey said, studying the ancient weapon almost idly before snapping her gaze back to Kylo. “And not to you”.

The corner of Kylo’s mouth twitched in the beginning of a smile, and he inclined his head at the soldiers filling the hangar.

“You’re in no position to dictate”

“An orphan,” he said wearily. “This is my nightmare. A thousand wannabe younglings showing up on my doorstep, hoping they’re the Chosen Whoevers, wanting to know how to lift rocks.”

“R2-D2 squawked derisively.
“Hey, sacred island,” Luke said. “Watch the language.”

“We are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“For a moment Kylo let himself recall his parents’ worried conversations behind closed doors, the ones they’d deluded themselves into thinking he wouldn’t know about. Conversations about the anger and resentment that had boiled over once again in their son. Conversations in which they talked about him like he wasn’t their son, but some kind of monster.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“Slow down and think. Panic doesn’t solve problems; it just creates new ones.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“Narratives were far easier to shape than battles.”

“Rey found herself in his mind even as he invaded hers. She felt his rage, like a ruinous storm that filled his head, and his hatred, and his lust to dominate and humiliate those who had wronged him. But she also felt his hurt, and his loneliness. And his fear - that he would never prove as strong as Darth Vader, the ghost who haunted his dreams”

“Jakku had trained her to do two things better than anyone else could.
The first was to salvage broken things.
The second was to wait.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“But the faith of her homeworld of Gatalenta taught that no one who reached salvation arrived there alone--they brought along all those whose love and compassion had helped deliver them.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“Humans and other organics were dangerously error-prone in so many ways: They somehow failed to see or hear important stimuli, insisted on ignoring data they didn’t like, and forgot things they desperately needed to remember. Any self-respecting droid would have addressed such failings with a quick diagnostics session and memory defragmentation.
Yet organics made up for this—at least a little bit—with a talent for tackling a problem with simultaneous bits and pieces of multiple subroutines at once, what they called improvisation.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“everybody knew the only thing that made Goss more miserable than pilots was pilots having fun.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“His apprentice had barely moved since delivering Rey, but his emotions had been simmering when he arrived, and begun to boil when Snoke revealed that he was the creator of Kylo's mysterious connection with Rey.
Or at least they had boiled until a moment ago. Then the tumult had ceased, replaced by an eerie calm and focus. Snoke had been surprised, but pleased. Master and apprentice had work ahead of them, and Kylo -- that endlessly conflicted mixture of light and dark -- had finally found himself.”
― Jason Fry, The Last Jedi: Expanded Edition (Exclusive Edition)

“She wondered if she should have asked about the dozen porgs perched on the dashboard, watching the Wookiee work—or the porg that had been sitting companionably on his hairy shoulder.
She supposed the porgs would be dinner soon enough, and the Wookiee was using the Falcon as a larder. Treating tomorrow’s meal as today’s pet struck Rey as a bit odd, but then it was a big galaxy, and every species was entitled to its quirks.”

“Despite being programmed for etiquette and protocol, C-3PO had a singularly awful sense of diplomacy.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“A veteran commander worried about winning, not playing to an audience. Narratives were far easier to shape than battles, and they could be composed in safety and at leisure.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“We haven't done anything," Luke agreed, though he knew that was no guarantee of safety. Plenty of things happened to people who hadn't done anything - things that were never discussed again, or at least not by anyone with any sense.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“The slopes around Rey were full of life. Sticklike insects regarded her inscrutably as they picked their way through the grass, while birds rode the winds above her head. Many of the rocky outcroppings she passed were rookeries for small, chubby avians. They were curious about the intruder, peering at her with big, liquid eyes and challenging her with fusillades of squawks. Their flying struck Rey as a triumph of determination over ability—they looked like airborne rocks, hurtling themselves off the cliffs and flapping their stubby wings desperately until somehow leveling out centimeters from disaster.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“You could pretend that regime didn't exist, or rationalize its excesses away, or seek to insulate yourself through wealth or connections, or flee it and hide, or hope that whatever capricious reason it would crush people other than you.

And all of those things were easy to do. The harder thing by far was to fight - to attract that murderous regime's attention, and become an object of its malice.

But that was the only thing to do. Those who chose something else were hoping that the monster they had ignored would eat them last.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“Most of the galaxy's beings were soft—they grew up sheltered and spent the rest of their lives trying to make sure they stayed ignorant and indolent. Phasma was anything but soft—and by the time she could walk, she had understood there was no such thing as safety. There was only survival, which was the product of ceaseless struggle.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“The Force was bright with rage and a need for revenge, and roiled by the agony of having to go on without friends and loved one.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“There was joy at their escape, and the jagged excitement at the prospect of battle. But there was also fear of the precariousness of their situation, and anxiety at the possibility that they might fail.”
― Jason Fry, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

“Rose made a mental note---make that another mental note---to take Poe aside, should they manage to actually rescue the Resistancce fleet without dying in any of a dozen ways she decided it would be too depressing to catalog. Having already proven amenable to disobeying orders, assuming false identities, and committing simple assault, the pilot's astromech was now developing a taste for larceny.”
