Leland Chee (+8)
"In the end, my ongoing vision is that as long as there's the Holocron, Star Wars will not reboot."

 * 6) When I saw this quote, my thought went back to a post I once seen on suvudu.com where they were discussing a reboot of Star Wars. Someone had the audacity to suggest that Justin Bieber play Luke. My stomach turned then, and it still twists whenever I think of that awful thought. My vote is in support just because of the sickening idea of them rebooting Star Wars, especially with Bieber.&mdash; Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 01:33, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

Carrie Fisher (+4)
"Originally, I was known as the 'the girl'. During my first day on the set, someone described the next scene I was in as, 'The girl crossed the room and exits stage left. The camera operator will have to pan to keep her in frame.' I asked whether I was to be 'the girl' or 'the camera operator'. They got the idea. I'm now an honorary camera operator."

Anakin Skywalker (+7)
"The weakness in his knees he'd felt when he saw Tru walk away was gone. In a strange way, the mission had strengthened him. He had a stronger conviction now, a harder edge to fight with. Everything had fallen away from him&mdash;his childhood, his friends, his wish to impress the Jedi Council. He would never be helpless again. He would only grow stronger. He had fought with a Sith and seen true power. One day he would be able to match it. He would be able to fight it. Not yet. But someday. Soon."

Anakin Skywalker (+7)
"As a boy, he hadn't wanted things to change. He wanted to keep those he loved close to him forever. Yet everything did change. He was far from his mother. He had lost Darra. Tru. And Qui-Gon. He couldn't fight against those kinds of losses. So be it. He would have to push them down until they didn't matter anymore. One day, he would face his worst loss, the loss of his Master. By surpassing him, he would lose him. He pictured Obi-Wan turning to him in slow surprise, grasping for the first time the true extent of his power. Seeing that the student had outstripped the teacher. On that day, Anakin's heart would break for the last time. He would feel the weight of impossible sorrow. He would not be able to bear that sorrow. Unless he no longer had a heart."
