Darths and Droids (+5)

Poggle: "...trespassing, destroying assembly line equipment, sabotaging factory computers, flatlining 6 droids, killing 15 Geonosian factory workers—"

Crowd in public gallery: "Gasp!"

Poggle: "—and parking illegally on a steam vent. Does the counsel for the accused have any statement?"

Padmé: "Yes! I would like to make a statement! To begin with, this case should never have come to trial. The steam vent was inadequately signposted. But we're losing sight of the big issue here, the question that's on everybody's mind. Who will look after the workers?! The factory is totally unsafe! Crushers, boiling lead, no safety rails... How many workplace accidents were there today alone?"

Poggle: "...you mean, besides the ones you caused?"

Padmé: "You're just throwing suspicion away from the true culprits! I'd like to stand up - stand up, everyone, stand up! Stand up for all those workaday drones who've never put in a sick day in their life! At least not after pupating, anyway."

Poggle: "Does that conclude your statement?"

Padmé: "You want my statement? You can't handle my statement!"

―Anakin and Padmé are sentenced in Darths & Droids

Brian Daley (+4)

"They're the grimmest reapers. They're beings who stalk the twilight free-fire zone between the law of the jungle and the retribution of governments. They're red of fang and claw, answerable to no one. Ruthless—respecting authority only when it's backed by naked force. Many are as criminal as their quarry. Their license to kill comes from the mint and their own dark drives. A name on a wanted notice empowers them to seek out prey, run it to the ground…capture or slay it."

―Brian Daley, on bounty hunters in the Star Wars universe
