Chad Vader (+3)
"Luke... what we have here is a failure to communicate. Icebergs do not concern me, Admiral. I have altered the commandments. Pray I don't alter them any further. The power to hunt a shark is insignificant next to the power of a bigger boat. What is thy bidding, Doctor Zhivago? The Force is strong with you, Smokey, but you haven't gotten the Bandit yet. Captain Solo, how did you get out of the carbonite? Put down that whip!"

- Chad Vader, performing scenes from Cool Hand Luke, Titanic, The Ten Commandments, Jaws, Doctor Zhivago, Smokey and the Bandit, and finally Raiders of the Lost Ark

Sean Williams (+2)
"The Force streamed through him like a lightning bolt, fueling his instincts and filling him with strength. For a full second he closed his eyes and let his arms move in perfect synchrony with the energy bolts. He wasn't even part of the equation anymore. He was a spectator, a privileged observer in a deadly but beautiful ballet."

- Sean Williams, describes the Starkiller's Force lightning attack in Kashyyyk

For

 * 1) Great work Sean Williams did in the story by Haden Blackman.--Lop-Har Kela 19:00, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I generally dislike the use of narrative text, but this flows marvelously.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 16:29, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

Callista??? (+4)
"The darkness was eternal, all-powerful, unchangeable. She stared into it, unblinking and unafraid. She was determined that it would not claim her. She had resisted it this many years. She would resist it forever, never despairing. It was unchangeable, but change would take place. The Force said so."

- Opening words

For

 * 1) I'm unsure whether this refers to Callista Ming or someone else, but these are great words to oepn up an epic nine-book series.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 16:29, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I think it refers to Jaina. That was my interpretation when I read it.  Lele Mj  Green_Squadron.png ( Holoprojector ) 00:46, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Personally, I think it's Allana. The tentacles she felt on Kessel, the Jedi queen on the Throne of Balance and Taalon's obsession with finding her, the inexplicably important role she's had in FotJ thus far&hellip;it only makes sense. Although Callista would make a lot of sense too. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 05:21, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) I'm gonna say this is goes for... Daala! Just to piss everyone off. :P Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 05:32, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
