The dark side warps their thinking…


Those who embrace the dark side don’t see themselves as evil. They believe that they are doing the right thing for the right reasons. The dark side warps their thinking, and they come to believe that the end justifies the means, no matter how awful those means might be.

The Force may create midi-chlorians…


Actually, the Force may create midi-chlorians, sort of as its conduits into our continuum, rather than the other way around. They’re isomorphic on every world that has life. The Force, it appears, truly pervades the galaxy, if not the entire universe. But, when all is said and done, the Jedi don’t really know how it [...]




One should always choose the moral way…


There were laws, and then there were laws. Some of them had been passed for the wrong reasons, and many were flawed-nearly every rule had some exception. When the choice came down to a legal act or a moral act, the Jedi making the choice would ideally do both. But circumstances were seldom ideal, and [...]




The Force is beyond words…


The Force is beyond words. It is not evil, just as it isn’t good- it simply is what it is. Power alone doesn’t corrupt-but it can feed corruption that already exists. A Jedi must constantly choose one path or the other.
Barriss Offee, Medstar – Jedi Healer




Feelings don’t come with…


Feelings don’t come with ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ labels, … You feel how you feel. You are only responsible for how you act.

Barriss Offee; Medstar – Jedi Healer




If you must kill, then you need to know…


Throughout history, as guardians, we have always sought to use our powers for the good of the galaxy-thus, for defense, rather than aggression. Even so, a warrior must know how to fight at levels from full-out battles to one-on-one personal combat. And part of that is taking responsibility for our actions. We believe that, if [...]




Jedi combat principles…


Jedi combat principles were founded in the concept of constantly reaching for perfection.
Barriss Offee, Medstar – Jedi Healer




Regarding the Force


It was not, first and foremost, a protector, or a weapon, or a mentor-though it could, at times, manifest aspects of all those things. The Force was what it was, no more, no less. Errors in wielding it belonged to the user.
Barriss Offee, Medstar – Jedi Healer




Spirits require healing…


Spirits require healing, too, as much or more than do bodies sometimes.
Luminara Unduli; Medstar – Jedi Healer




A thing of the heart…


Conviction was a thing of the heart, not the mind.
Barriss Offee, Medstar – Jedi Healer




It was much harder…


It was much harder to fight and disarm or wound than to maim or kill. It was always harder to do the right thing.

Barriss Offee, Medstar – Jedi Healer




Choices of the heart…


Choices of the heart are never easy.

Barriss Offee, Medstar – Battle Surgeons




If there was a purpose to all things…


If there was a purpose to all things—if, as the core tenets of the Jedi Code stated, the galaxy was indeed unfolding as it should—then Phow Ji had his destiny to fulfill, even as she had hers.

Barriss Offee, Medstar – Battle Surgeons




A single misstep, and you can fall…


As a Jedi, you live always on this edge. A single misstep, and you can fall to the dark side. It has happened to many, and it is always a tragedy. As with an addictive drug, it’s too easy to say, ‘I’ll do it just this once.’ That’s not how it works. The only thing [...]




Power wants to be used…


Power wants to be used.It must be kept under constant vigil, else it will seduce and corrupt you . . . You do it because you can. It becomes an end in itself.

Luminara Unduli, Medstar – Battle surgeons




Any emotion that you have allowed to control you…


To destroy (a training) remote is, in itself, not necessarily a wrong choice. If you have developed sufficient skill to block the training bolts and you arrive at the decision through logic and with a calm mind, then you can justify using the Force to stop the attack at its source. Some of the more [...]




Every conscious move you make…


Every conscious move you make, from the smallest to the largest, requires choice. There is always a branch in the path, and you must decide upon which turning you will tread.

Luminara Unduli, Medstar – Battle Surgeons




The heart did not always believe…


The heart did not always believe what the mind knew to be true.

Luke skywalker; Legacy of the Force – Exile




When intelligence operatives…


When intelligence operatives do their jobs correctly, they never become famous. because no one ever learns they’ve been there. And sometimes that’s what solving the problem means.

Mara Jade Skywalker, Legacy of the Force – Exile




If you’re planning without information…


The first step in any intelligence operation, is gathering information. You gather enough information to make your plan. If you’re planning without information, you’re planning for failure.

Mara Jade Skywalker, Legacy of the Force – Exile




Getting to the truth…


Getting to the truth is always a good idea… no matter how it hurts.

Luke Skywalker; Legacy of the Force – Exile




Altruism just means…


Altruism just means, I’m doing this to create a better world, as I define better.

Denjax Teppler, Legacy of the Force – Exile




Only separation offers…


Only separation offers perspective. All learning benefits from perspective. Therefore all learning benefits from separation.

Jacen Solo, Legacy of the Force – Exile




The sign that someone is a fanatic…


The real sign that someone has become a fanatic, is that he completely loses his sense of humor about some important facet of his life.  When humor goes, it means he’s lost his perspective.

Wes Janson, Legacy of the Force – Exile




Don’t lose track of praise…


Don’t lose track of the praise even in a stream of constructive criticism. Or vice versa.

Luke Skywalker; Legacy of the Force – Fury




Do not be sorry…


Do not be sorry. Learn.

Saba Sebatyne, Legacy of the Force – Fury




Much easier to obtain…


Knowledge is much easier to obtain than to contain.

Dician, Legacy of the Force – Fury




Much smarter than your opponent…


When you’re so much smarter than your opponent that you know you don’t even have to make an effort to beat him, that’s when he smiles and hands you the vibroblade he just cut your heart out with.

Han Solo, Legacy of the Force – Fury




History decides…


History decides who’s a criminal.

Leia Organa Solo, Legacy of the Force – Fury




If you sharpen a sword…


If you sharpen a sword all the time, even when it’s not dull, by the time you need it there’s no metal left. It will break.

Jagged Fel, Legacy of the Force  – Fury




Trust isn’t worth…


Trust isn’t worth anything when it’s built on lies.

Seha Dorvald; Legacy of the Force – Fury




The ability to do a thing…


The ability to do a thing is not all there is. You must know the thing. You must master every facet of it. You must understand how it fits with everything else you know. You must possess it for it to be truly yours.

Luke Skywalker, Jedi Academy Trilogy – Dark Apprentice




A decision is yours alone to make…


A decision is yours alone to make. Yet remember you should that you make it also for the silent ones who stand at your shoulder.

Yoda,  Jedi Apprentice – The Captive Temple
