- "Nice outfit. What, you miners change regulation uniform while I've been in here?"
- ―Atton Rand, about the Jedi Exile's attire[src]
- Atton Rand: "Peragus fuel plays havoc with engines, but it gets the job done... as long as you don't mind the toxic byproducts and trying to mine it without blowing yourself up."
- Jedi Exile: "This facility doesn't sound very safe."
- Atton Rand: "Yeah this asteroid belt is one giant minefield. One proton torpedo, even a stray blaster shot, can start an explosion that'll make the one that shattered Peragus look like a kid's pop detonatior."
- —Atton Rand and the Jedi Exile[src]
- " You see, this Jedi shows up, and you know what that means - where there's one Jedi, the Republic will soon be crawling up your ion engine in no time."
- ―Atton Rand[src]
- "So, uh, how long have you been a Jedi? Must be tough, you know... no family, no husband..."
- ―Atton Rand, hitting on the Jedi Exile[src]
- "Me?! You're the Jedi—if one of us has to go, then it's you. Guardians of peace and justice throughout the galaxy, last I heard."
- ―Atton Rand[src]
- "You're crazy. Even for a Jedi."
- ―Atton Rand of the Jedi Exile[src]
- "''Lemme shoot him in the back, no one has to know."
- ―Atton Rand To the Exile, after Ratrin Vhek claimed the Ebon Hawk for his own.[src]
- Atton: "Umm... all right? I'm guessing that Republic ship that just docked isn't carrying friends of yours."
- Kreia: " I hope your talent for understatement is offset by your skill with a blaster. If not, I fear our time together will be very short indeed."
- Atton: "Yeah, and I'm also good at running and drinking, your majesty."
- —Atton Rand and Kreia[src]
- Atton: "What makes you think you've got the right to interrogate me on anything? You've got plenty of lives to answer for—all you Jedi do. How did you even live with yourself after Malachor? Is that why you went back to the Jedi Council? Hoping they'd kill you? Wasn't it? Maybe you thought they'd forgive you—sure, you might have thought they'd execute you. But Jedi don't kill, do they? At least not their prisoners. Maybe you were counting on it when you went back in chains. So you got off easy—you were exiled, brushed under the cargo ramp, another dirty little Jedi secret. I'll tell you—all those Jedi at Malachor? They deserved it. Every last one of them."
- Jedi Exile: "How can you say such a thing?"
- Atton: "Because Jedi lie. And they manipulate. And every act of charity or kindness they do, you can drag it out squirming into the light and see it for what it is. The galaxy doesn't need Jedi arrogance or Jedi hypocrisy anymore."
- Jedi Exile: "The Jedi are guardians of the peace, they are not as you describe"
- Atton: "The Jedi... the Sith... you don't get it, do you? To the galaxy, they're the same thing; just men and women with too much power, squabbling over religion, while the rest of us burn."
- —Atton Rand and the Jedi Exile[src]
- Atton: " Without the Jedi who turned on the Council - without you, the Republic would have lost the war, and we would all be Mandalorian slaves or corpses."
- Jedi Exile: "Instead, you became Sith."
- Atton: "If that's what you want to call knowing when to fight and when to kill, then yes, but you can't really break down people into Sith and Jedi and expect everything to make sense."
- —Atton Rand and the Jedi Exile[src]
- "I didn't fight Jedi, I killed them. A lot of them."
- ―Atton Rand[src]
- "People say killing Jedi is hard. It's not, you just have to be smart about it. No blasters, no getting close to them, no attacking them directly when you can gun down their allies instead."
- ―Atton Rand[src]
- "When fighting a Jedi, you wound the Padawan first, then let the rest take care of itself. Not only will the master move to protect the student, but the Force bond between the two will mess up the master's head better than any stab wound."
- ―Atton Rand[src]
- "I did what I did with all Jedi. I hurt her. I hurt her a lot. And then, right when I thought she couldn't take anymore - she showed me the Force. In my head. And I felt everything she felt, and I heard just an echo of what the Force was. And how what I was doing... I think I loved her, but it wasn't that kind of love. It was the kind of love where you're willing to give up everything for someone you don't even know. I killed her for crawling in my head, for showing me that. But before she opened her mind to mine, my only thought was that I would love to kill her. In the end, she sacrificed herself to keep my secret, to prevent the Sith from knowing about that touch of the Force inside me. She wasted her life to save me. Me."
- ―Atton Rand, confessing to the Jedi Exile[src]
- "Y... you damn Jedi are all the same... give you a little power, and it rots you all the way to the core. Stay out of my head - I mean it."
- ―Atton Rand[src]
- "I'm good at shooting people, cracking wise, and pretending to know how to fight with my hands."
- ―Atton Rand[src]
- " But all this talk doesn't matter. I'm not qualified to give advice. Besides, when I open my mouth, I'm usually lying anyway."
- ―Atton Rand[src]
- "You got history, and anyone who travels with you doesn't."
- ―Atton Rand[src]
- Atton Rand: "Feels like my last time on Telos."
- Bao-Dur: "Crashed a shuttle that time, too?"
- Atton Rand: "No, pazaak."
- —Atton Rand and Bao-Dur[src]
- "Pure Pazaak."
- ―Atton Rand[src]
- Atton: "Just check the damn connector, I don't trust the diagnostics any more than I trust you."
- T3-M4: "beep"
- Atton: "Because I don't like droids. They break. In the head."
- T3-M4: "beep"
- Atton: "Well, whatever you call that thing on your... head."
- —Atton Rand and T3-M4[src]
- "Well, this sure beats staying on the ship. A few drinks to keep me on my toes, a few games of pazaak to keep the mind alert... should be enough to keep me out of trouble until our fearless leader straightens things out. Give me a hit of juma, and keep them coming.
Well, looks like staying on the ship was a bad idea after all." - ―Atton Rand, after spotting the Twin Suns[src]
[edit] Non-canonical quotes
- "Are you an angel? Aw, I'm just kidding. That's the worst line I've ever used. Hope some poor kid doesn't start using it."
- ―An Easter Egg line of Atton Rand, after playing through the game a certain amount of times[src]
- "I'm Atton. I actually wasn't supposed to make it into the final game, but I was created at the last minute. Blame my agent. I was actually slated for a spin-off to Jedi Knight, but I don't want to talk about what happened *there*."
- ―An Easter Egg line of Atton Rand, after playing through the light and dark endings of the game[src]
- Kreia: "Indeed? But of course - what does one more matter to our journey? I have had enough of this - I will be in my chambers."
- Atton: "Yeah, me, too. I'll be in my chambers. But since I don't have any, I guess I'll just go to the cockpit like I always do. If she's coming with us, she gets the cargo hold. Might remind her how fun it is to get locked up."
- ―Kreia and Atton Rand, speaking to the male Jedi Exile after learning that Brianna will be traveling with them[src]
