Dan Thorsland (+2)
"You won't see Jedi wearing a lot of armor, and there's a reason for that. So we make sure no one's running around looking like King Arthur from Excalibur. That's not the way of a Jedi."

"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."

"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. (However, Expanded Universe sources would claim that Fett spent a Force Point to keep from dying, and that the Sarlacc found him 'somewhat indigestible.')"

"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."
