The Quote of the Day from one year ago!

Irvin Kershner (+1)
"It didn't quite work for me. It was a nice picture but I expected something different. I thought it would be a different kind of film. It had fabulous stuff in it but it didn't work for me."

- Irvin Kershner, director of The Empire Strikes Back, when asked if he was pleased with the film Return of the Jedi

Darths and Droids (+3)
"Presumably the only reason for Grievous to use [a mono-wheeled bike] is because he's insanely reckless, and it has some impressive turn of speed that can outrun anything. Except a giant feathered lizard. Seriously, in the movie Grievous has a huge head start on Obi-Wan. He's riding this gnarly hi-tech mono-wheel thing, while Obi-Wan is on a lizard. And the lizard catches up. And overtakes. Presumably it must have a +50 native terrain advantage or something."

- Darths and Droids comparing the chase between Boga and the Tsmeu-6 personal wheel bike in Revenge of the Sith

Darths and Droids (+2)
"Ooh! How mildly annoying... [consumed by fire] Zam... If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes! I've seen things your people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser gate. All those moments will be lost in time...like tears in rain... Time to die. [collapses] Rosebud..."

Lost Tribe: Sentinel (sort-of spoiler I guess) (+3)
"Keshiri legend held that soon after the Sith arrived, some of their native population had escaped over the ocean. They'd chosen a one-way trip to privation and likely death over lives of service to the Tribe. Today's more devoted Keshiri told it as a cautionary tale: choice of destiny was a luxury reserved for the Protectors, not their servants. The cost of arrogance, for a servant, was isolation. "Ori saw it differently. If the exodus really had happened, whoever had led those slaves away was the greatest Keshiri of all time. Their fates had been decided&mdash;and defied."

- The thoughts of Orielle Kitai on the exile of the Keshiri resistance

For

 * 1) A really powerful passage. IMO Sentinel was one of the best eBooks of the LToTS series yet. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 03:37, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

A surprisingly good TCW moral (+4)
"He who seeks to control fate shall never find peace."

- Moral

 * 1) Great since it isn't lame and ties in to other parts of Star Wars (Caedus, anyone)?-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 21:10, March 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) This is arguably the only good anything to come out of Season 3. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 01:36, April 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Why do people ever act on visions anyway? It just happens despite you're intent and the only difference is that now you've caused it. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 20:07, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

Knight Errant (+2)
"The results of Treece's raids [against the Sith] generally pleased the Chancellor. The morale boost came cheaply; all ships and munitions involved came from private contributions. It was a much different reaction than Jedi Knight Revan had received, centuries earlier, in his own extracurricular efforts against the Mandalorians. But the circumstances, Kerra recalled, were different. The Sith were evil; the Mandalorians just had an attitude problem."

- Jedi Knight Kerra Holt compares the actions of Vannar Treece and Revan

Edge of Victory II: Rebirth (+3)
"Corran held back a series of specifically Corellian words he that really wanted to use. But Tahiri was only fourteen. Would he make it through Valin's and Jysella's teenage years without turning to the dark side?"

- Jedi Knight Corran Horn on handling Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila
