Matthew Stover (+9)
"This story happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. It is already over. Nothing can be done to change it. It is a story of love and loss, brotherhood and betrayal, courage and sacrifice and the death of dreams. It is a story of the blurred line between our best and our worst. It is the story of the end of an age. A strange thing about stories- Though all this happened so long ago and so far away that words cannot describe the time or the distance, it is also happening right now. Right here. It is happening as you read these words. This is how twenty-five millennia come to a close. Corruption and treachery have crushed a thousand years of peace. This is not just the end of a republic; night is falling on civilization itself. This is the twlight of the Jedi. The end starts now."

"The bounty hunter's jetpack misfires and he streaks across the battlefield, crashes into the side of the sail barge, and plummets into the waiting mouth of the Sarlacc.

"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.

"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."
