Richard Cheese (+6)
"I mostly watched films like The Maltese Falcon, Goldfinger, and anything with Frank, Sammy or Dino in it. Then, a few years ago, I played at a hotel cocktail lounge that had one of the Star Wars movies playing on a big-screen TV, as sort of background eye candy. It looked like a crazy heist flick, just like Ocean's 11. This gang of good guys was trying to knock off the biggest casino in the galaxy, the Death Star. So I had the rest of the movies sent to my room, and I watched them between sets. I was struck by the 'futuristic' vibe in the movies. I guess the 'Wars' take place in space or something. Not normally my scene, but I dug the chick with the hair and the electric swords – those were swingin'. Oh, and the floating car was a gas."

- Richard Cheese

Matthew Stover (+2)
"A tiny bubble of existence hangs in the nothing. This bubble is called a ship. The bubble is its own universe. Within this universe, there are traitors. One is a teacher, and a student;another is a student, and a teacher. One is a gardener. This universe falls toward another, wider universe: a universe that is a garden- Which is still full of weeds."

- Matthew Stover in the novel Traitor

For

 * 1) Not the greatest, but I think its interesting when you look at Jacen's actions during the LOTF series. Vergere makes an interesting analogy of how the gardener can choose what is to stay in the garden and what is to go, and Jacen takes that role upon himself later, in a way.

 * 2) Sorry, but I think that in order to believe that you understand this, you have to be on ecstasy. Piequals3 06:02, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Just Not a good quote FattaFett 20:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * Personally, I would not have linked "One" and "another," mostly for the sake of maintaining the ambiguity of the text. But still worth a vote. Din&#39;s Fire 997 07:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Somewhat interesting, but I didn't really expect it to win. Just throwing it out there. Hobbes15 ( Tiger Headquarters ) 06:13, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Timothy Zahn (+2)
"It was typical - typical and disgustingly predictable. You scrambled around like mad hellions, got your troops and vehicles on the ground and set up . . . and then you stood around waiting for those strutting Fleet people in their spotless uniforms and nice clean ships to finish sipping their tea and finally get around to letting you loose."

- General Covell's thoughts on the Imperial Navy

For

 * 1) Just wait til you find out what your troops are, Covell. Vykk 18:41, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Narrator/Marvel Star Wars (+4)
