- Luke Skywalker: "If I stopped you, you'd still be angry. If I let you stop yourself, a doorway to peace would open for you. You saw this as a travesty because, by marrying Mara, I was taking an important icon from you. But this is about starting a new life, not ending an old one. Come join with us, join the celebration."
- Derran Takkar: "You can't mean it."
- Luke Skywalker: "I do. Let everyone see the rifts be healed."
