“There was no reply. That in itself was encouraging. They trudged on, Luke stealing admiring glances at her when she wasn’t looking.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“she gathered her belongings and headed for the makeshift entrance that led into the belly of the half-destroyed AT-AT walker. It might be an ancient, rotting, rusting example of now useless military might, but to Rey, it was home.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“Entering the room, Kylo Ren moved to join them. “Finding the flaw in your training methods won’t help recover the droid.” Although his mask concealed his facial expression, the rage simmering below his calm demeanor was almost palpable. “And yet, there are larger concerns,” Hux insisted. It was evident from both Hux’s tone and body language that he held no love for the newcomer. The feeling was mutual; neither took pains to hide his contempt.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“Despite the importance of his mission, Poe found himself conflicted. Not only did he respect Lor San Tekka, he liked him. How could he leave him here? “Sir, if you don’t mind, I—” The older man cut him off. “But I do mind, Poe Dameron. You spoke of your mission.” Both his gaze and his tone hardened. “Now fulfill it. Compared to what is stirring in the galaxy, you and I are little more than motes of dust.” Still, Poe demurred. “With all due respect, some motes are of more importance than others…sir.”

Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“I don’t get to treat many lightsaber wounds. It’s such an old weapon. People today prefer to fight with rifles and blasters, from long range.” She shrugged. “I suppose it doesn’t matter. Death is death, no matter the mechanism that is employed to beget it.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“A stability that existed under the Empire, was reduced to anarchy by the Rebellion, was inherited in turn by the so-called Republic, and will be restored by us. Future historians will look upon this as the time when a strong hand brought the rule of law back to civilization.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“It was exciting and intellectually gratifying to speculate on what might lie waiting in the black gulfs when one was behind the business end of a telescope, quite another to do so isolated on an unpleasant little speck of a world such as this, confronted by a ship of non-human manufacture that uncomfortably resembled a growth instead of a familiar device for manipulating and overcoming the neat laws of physics.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“I can’t do this by myself. It requires two security codes to access the full system and shut it down.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“Long-established totalitarian governments fear any kind of free expression. A sculpture can be a manifesto, a manuscripted adventure can double as a cry for rebellion.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“At incredible velocity and accelerating exponentially, the concentrated volume of quintessence escaped, transforming as it did so into a state known as phantom energy and following the artificial line of egress that had been provided.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“A planetary shield being a fairly straightforward thing, there was hardly ever a problem with the system.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster

Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“easier question to answer. “Who wouldn’t be? This is New Riviera, the paradise planet, the best of Mother Earth concentrated and then spread like a fine glaze on an entire world instead of just a small part of it.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“Maybe one day, before the universe died, Unkar Plutt would take a bath.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“You will leave Starkiller at once and come to me with Kylo Ren. Leave immediately.” He added grimly, “It appears that he may have been right about the girl.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“Typical Ren, Hux thought. Self-centered, arrogant, indifferent to the interests of others.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“If she let go or otherwise lost her grip, of course, it would solve all her problems. Permanently.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“He was training a new generation of Jedi. There was no one else left to do it, so he took the burden on himself. Everything was going good, until one boy, an apprentice, turned against him and destroyed it all. Everything Luke had worked toward: gone. Luke felt responsible. He walked away from everything.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“That weapon—is mine.” Finn all but snarled his reply. “Come and get it.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“His only fear then was that the man might shoot first and ask questions later. Thankfully, he did not.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster

Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“Two surviving human beings on the entire planet, Ruslan thought, and they can’t stand each other. A fitting metaphor for the entire species.”

Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“This time she was sure she managed a grin. ‘I can’t figure you, Hicks. Soldiers aren’t supposed to be optimists.’ ‘Yeah, I know. You’re not the first to point it out. I’m a freakin’ anomaly.”
Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“Expanding outward from the explosion, a tremendous burst of heat tore through the Hosnian system’s other worlds, searing their surfaces clean of life”

Quote by -Alan Dean Foster
“The Hermit of the Commonwealth. That had a solid ring to it. Stoic and aesthetic. There was only one problem with the noble life he had set out for himself. It was a terrible way to meet girls. Whoever”
