Leonard: "Hey, Sheldon, clear your weekend. Starting Saturday morning, Star Wars marathon."
Sheldon: "Movies or video games? Or board games, or trading card games, or Legos, or dress-up, or comic books, or dramatic readings of novelizations? Yes to all!"
Baftu: "You disgust me. Leave the rebel and get out."
Weutta: "But—"
Baftu: "Excuse me, Head Slug. Are you still here in my line of sight? Or do I need to impale you on an electro-jabber until you shake yourself to death?"
Taria: "The title of the latest HoloNet piece about you, if I'm not mistaken. The Senator who turned his back on a vast fortune to devote himself to politics. Who worked his way up from Naboo's legislative body to the ambassadorship to the Galactic Senate… A heartwarming story."
Palpatine: "And every word of it true. From a certain point of view."
Because I watched The Hobbit last night and the Vong (sorry, Yuuzhan Vong) are the Orcs of Star Wars.--ARC Commander Colt (talk) 01:11, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
"You may not know it, but all of the younger Jedi and a lot of the older ones look up to you. The buzz is you're the next Luke Skywalker, at the very least."
I always thought this line was underrated. Sums up Nute's "evil businessman" character nicely with the mention of the desk. Not head on a pike, not head on a platter, specifically on a desk. Enochf (talk) 13:54, April 5, 2013 (UTC)
Liegeus: "Alas, it has also been my misfortune to be a competent designer of artificial intelligence systems for spacecraft, and a very, very good holo faker."
Leia: "A holo faker?"
Liegeus: "Of course, my dear. It was my art, my hobby—the source of my joy and the material for a thousand silly pranks in my youth. The bane of my existence, now; Beldorion has drafted me into editing and retaping his formidable library of Huttese pornography. Even my stint on Gamorr, ghost-writing love poems for the boars to pass off as their own when they go courting in the wintertime, wasn't so fearful."
Liegeus: "I suppose it was vain of me to believe myself the only guide she would ever have or need. Or to believe that she was the only one I would ever love."
Luke: "Was she?"
Liegeus: [smiles] "I think the human capacity for loving is too great for a single loss, however enormous, to blight. At least I hope that's the case. You do not believe me now, but I have walked this road, Luke. I can tell you, if you keep walking, you do come out of the dark at last. The love I have for your sister is no less for the love I felt for both my wives, bless their long-suffering hearts. There is always love."
"It is, in my mind, essential that all remember the sacrifices that so many made to bring this New Republic about. If I have learned anything from my studies, it is that freedom is too precious a commodity to be taken for granted. As our ancestors learned, it can be snatched away in an instant."
"I'm a kid whose father just happens to be one of the hottest pilots in the galaxy, whose mother is the leader of the New Republic, whose twin brother and sister just happen to have more Jedi potential than anyone else at the academy under the age of sixteen, and whose uncle also happens to be the most powerful Jedi Master alive. You know—I'm just an average kid."
Added "average kid" to the header in hopes of getting more attention on this quote. —MJ—Training Room 05:22, April 24, 2013 (UTC)
Xaverri & Han (+3)
Xaverri: "In the meantime, they are as greedy and venal as they always were. They are as susceptible to temptation, when I offer them more wealth. And they are even more vulnerable, because they have fallen from power. They do not dare draw the attention of your authorities. I wrong them dreadfully—and they cannot complain."
Han: [laughs]

Liking how completely non-seriously Han takes the Empire at this point. — DigiFluid(Whine here) 15:22, April 16, 2013 (UTC)
Isn't Han a former Imperial officer? —MJ—Training Room 05:21, April 24, 2013 (UTC)
Han: "You should tell me who they are. Who they're pretending to be. So the New Republic can bring them to justice."
Xaverri: "My justice is harsher, and more satisfying. Perhaps, when I have taken sufficient revenge, I will tell you the names of the ones I have humiliated and impoverished. And then I will humiliate and impoverish more of them, and tell you who they are. Thus I will have my justice, and the Republic will have its justice."

And this one, by contrast, I just really enjoy the viciousness of her stance. — DigiFluid(Whine here) 15:22, April 16, 2013 (UTC)
"But your willing to settle for three." — Grammar! ;) — DigiFluid(Whine here) 01:41, April 18, 2013 (UTC)

Leia and Dorja (+7)
Leia: "I'm doing what I do best."
Dorja: "But you were Chief of State – surely you must be considering a return to power."
Leia: "I served my term."
Dorja: "To voluntarily relinquish power – I confess I don't understand it. In the Empire, we are taught not to decline responsibility once it is given to us."
Leia: "Wisdom is knowing when you've given all you can."
Captain: "You get me in to free Numen, I can set you up with a lot of stims. Free."
Wicke: "I-I couldn't. They'd kill me if they found out. Of course, they'd already kill me for talking to you. And buying stims. And sometimes saying "fail to the Empire" under my breath when we renew our oaths of service..."
For some reason I thought this had been QOTD before, but I checked the archive and didn't see it so, whatever. - PrincessGLG 11:49, April 27, 2013 (UTC)

"You're Zayne Carrick, right? Your Master sent me to look for you. He said to follow the trail of debris."
Marty: "General Calrissian, I'm very sorry, but I can't authorize that—"
Lando: "Then why are you wasting my time, Lieutenant? Go get your senior officer and put him on the line. I want to talk to someone who can make a decision. And when we've finished with our business—which should take about two minutes—I'm going to ask him to conduct a review of his bridge procedures and staff. I want him to find out why a flag officer and the Fleet Operations delegation to this mission were kept waiting while the officer of the day thumbed through the manual for a regulation to follow!"
Taisden: "We are heading for a rendezvous with, and I quote verbatim, 'The gallant and eternally vigilant patrol destroyer Tobay of the Grand Imperial Navy of the Constitutional Protectorate of Prakith, in grateful and loyal service to His Glory, the potent and courageous governor for life, Foga Brill.' "
Pleck: "And you thought your section commander had unreasonable expectations."
Colonel Corgan: "So how do we play it now, General?"
General A'baht: "We must neutralize this force without compromising our unit integrity or mobility. Pass the word as follows: Hold back the bombers. Keep the patrol screens close, and launch the A-wing interceptors only in response to direct threat from other little birds. Our operational unit for this engagement is to be the fleet squadron, and squadron commanders now have operational autonomy. All units, pursue, engage, and destroy all targets of opportunity. Since they insist on a fight, we'll give 'em one."
Colonel Corgan: "What about the hostages, sir?"
General A'baht: "Pray for them, Colonel. That's all we can do."
