“I am so glad I found you and didn't kill you" - Mara Jade Skywalker to Luke Skywalker” ― Michael A. Stackpole, Dark Tide I: Onslaught
“As long as I'm fighting, I'm not dying." - Mara Jade Skywalker” ― Michael A. Stackpole, Dark Tide I: Onslaught
“Even being a Jedi is something where you look for more. At first you acted as if Jedi was synonymous with hero. It isn't. Being a hero isn't what all these folks are here to do. They're here to do their jobs."-Jaina Solo” ― Michael A. Stackpole, Dark Tide II: Ruin
“If the wind no longer calls to you, it is time to see if you have forgotten your name.” ― Michael A. Stackpole, I, Jedi
“If you can't recognize the man in the mirror, it is time to step back and see when you stopped being yourself.” ― Michael A. Stackpole, I, Jedi
“Out of the firefight, into the carbon freeze." -Anakin Solo” ― Michael A. Stackpole, Dark Tide I: Onslaught
“As Han once told me, "Stealth and subtlety work well, but for making lasting impressions, a blaster does just fine.” ― Michael A. Stackpole, Rogue Squadron
“Do you want help?""No.""Do you need help?” ― Michael A. Stackpole, I, Jedi
“Note to the wise: whenever someone insists that he wants to buy something from you, but tells you there’s no real value in it yet, two things are happening: he’s lying, and you’re being taken.” ― Michael A. Stackpole
“Life is not without pain, but life concerns itself with how we handle that pain, or joy, or confusion or triumph. Life is more than time passing before death, it is the sum and total of all we make of it.” ― Michael A. Stackpole, I, Jedi
“Easy isn't for Jedi. Of course, trying to find your own path is much more difficult. Maybe what you have to do is walk a bit on the other paths and see how you can waeve bits and pieces of them together."- Anakin Solo” ― Michael A. Stackpole, Dark Tide I: Onslaught
“Your intentions will be good. Without consideration and forethought, however, your actions could still be evil. That is the problem, of course, evil is always easy and resisting it is never so. Evil is relentless; and anyone, if they tire, if they are not vigilant, can fall prey to it.” ― Michael A. Stackpole, I, Jedi
“Luke, I'm a fighter. I've always been a fighter. The few times when I have been at leisure, I've been miserable. I want challenges, I crave them. As nice an peaceful as it was up north here, it lulled me, dulled me, took the edge off. Anakin made it so I had no needs, and Dantooine -- before the Yuuzhan Vong -- had nothing more dangerous than big thorns to worry about. I was wasting away, trying to conserve my strengh, all the while turning away from the means I'd used in the past to tap the Force." - Mara Jade Skywalker” ― Michael A. Stackpole, Dark Tide I: Onslaught
“Out of character to be so obvious. You need to be more subtle. Locate a partially blocked artery in his brain, then just pinch it off. Bang, he's down and it's over." - Mara Jade Skywalker” ― Michael A. Stackpole, Dark Tide I: Onslaught
“The distinction between protectors and warriors is critical to avoid the seduction of the Dark Side."-Luke Skywalker” ― Michael A. Stackpole, Dark Tide II: Ruin
“Being Jedi is what we are. It's not the power we weild or the weapons we carry."-Luke Skywalker” ― Michael A. Stackpole, Dark Tide II: Ruin
“I placed quite a burden on Anakin, didn't I, by giving him that name." –Leia Organa Solo "He is strong enough to carry that burden, Leia...He's young, yet he has courage and intelligence." –Elegos A'Kla” ― Michael A. Stackpole, Dark Tide I: Onslaught
“I know. Off to save the galaxy again, that's my Leia." - Han Solo” ― Michael A. Stackpole, Dark Tide I: Onslaught
