The Most Important Line in Star Wars

Its a classic idea for sure. NPCs hate it.

“I’ll never turn to the dark side. You’ve failed, your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me.” — Luke Skywalker

Reminds us we aren’t ‘special’ on our own (like the WOKE/SJW/BlueCheck culture would like)
We stand on the shoulders of giants, on the shoulders of those who have taught us: teachers, family, friends, scholars, artists …
Those before us aren’t some buffoons to be ignored as blue-titty milk drinkers

They are the ones we draw our values from
And our wisdom as we grow older

They are the ones who made us the strong ladies or gents we are now
the JEDIs of real life

IF
We are wise enough to have learned from their life example

That’s why you failed Rian Johnson in your corrupted vision of Luke

Close second is:

“Do. Or do not. There is no try.” — Yoda
No explanation needed (Yoda rocks!)

Honorable mention:

“Why, you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder!” — Leia Organa
Cuz it’s from my rolemodel ♥ Leia ♥ & talks about ♥ Han ♥ the sexiest bad boy in a Galaxy Far Far Away

I have the High Ground!  It’s over!

That line right there has so much meaning.  Not just in the battle sense how it is seen in the movies.

The High Ground should never be squandered or taken for granted.

Do. Or do not. There is no try.  Another favorite of mine.

I love you…. I  know.   Just leaves us sappy girls wondering if she’ll ever see Han again.  Plus Harrison came up with that line… not George.

”You can’t win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.” — Obi-Wan Kenobi

Not my favorite, but I do like that line, not just because Obi-Wan becomes nigh-omnipresent as a force ghost a.k.a. ”more powerful than you could possibly imagine”, but also because of its meaning, from a certain point of view.

Kenobi giving his own life in order to save someone else showed Luke the true meaning of sacrifice.

He became a symbol for others to follow, and in his death, Obi-Wan ignited a spark, a new hope.

For me, some of the lines from the films are great…however…I would be lying if I wasn’t including an important quote from the games themselves.  Most notably…from a Sith.  But before I get to that… here are some of the ones that stood out to me.

“Look at me.  Judge me by my size do you? Hm?  And well you should not”. – Yoda

[Appearances can be deceptive].

“Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny” – Yoda

[Sometimes the easy way is actually the road to ruin]

(I know most would bring up the most obvious Yoda quotes but I think others are easily overlooked in my opinion).

“You will find that many of the truths that we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view” – Obi-Wan

(I don’t know if this is underrated or overrated but I always found this one compelling somehow).

“May the Force be with You” (A classic).

Now…that out of the way…here’s a particular quote from probably my favorite Sith in the Old Republic: Darth Marr.  (Those who have played TOR: KotFE would know exactly what I am talking about).

“Forget what your old masters taught you. Not even Valkorion understands. The force is not an ally, slave, or transaction.  The Force is a paradox, it empowers and imprisons. It destroys and unites. It binds the galaxy together and tears people apart. It has a will… but needs a commander.  The will of the force is a flowing current. You can follow or fight it, but it is always there”.

(If that is not enlightening, then I don’t know what is).
