Story Mode:

  • In sort of a grim way, Hask providing the ultimate example of Instantly Proven Wrong during Inferno Squad's mission to Endor.
    Del: We should move carefully. We don't know how many Rebels are out here.
    Hask: No, no. We'll deal with them the same as the rest. Today we wipe out that scum once and for all.
    (Inferno Squad turn towards a noise that starts literally the second Hask stops talking and see the Death Star II explode)
  • Major Shriv's defense to Lando when questioned on why he brought the freshly defected Iden and Del onboard their starship despite suspecting them to be part of an Imperial trap. And then Lando commending him for it.
    Shriv: You're always telling me to take risks! Seemed like the most irresponsible thing I could do.
    Lando: [Chuckles.] That a'boy.
  • This exchange after Iden destroys one of the satellites over Naboo:
    Del: Nice shot, commander!
    Shriv: Hey, HEY! She isn't a commander in my unit!
    • And even later once targeting the Star Destroyer:
      Iden: We need to focus our fire on that Star Destroyer's shield array!
      Shriv: Hey, you don't give the orders here! *ahem* All units, we need to focus our fire on that Star Destroyer's shield array.
  • After triggering the EMP on Naboo and knocking out all the Imperials' weapons, the Rebel troops charge back out from their safe zone and you can hear one surrendering stormtrooper go "okay, okay, okay" in a very "alright, I know we were just trying to kill you all and take over the planet, but let's just be cool now" tone.
  • On the Skirmish on Takodana, Han Solo brings along a very obnoxious imperial defector named Ralsius Paldora onto the Falcon while Han fights off the Imperials. Ralsius proceeds to constantly comment on everything going on around them while contributing nothing beyond being a pest—Han quickly gets so fed up with him that he calls for Chewie to remove him from the cockpit. The real kicker is that the line that ticks off Han is Ralsius insulting his ship.
    Ralsius: This YT-1300 freighter you've got is something, but its hyperdrive fails 1.22 times more often than the 2400 model.
    Han: [greatly annoyed] Chewie, get him out of my cockpit!
    • Yep, in both continuities, Han has to hear about how better the 2400 is than the 1300.
  • Near the end of the mission on Bespin, Iden and Del are trying to escape, but run out of starfighter options. Del then suggests the Cloud Car nearest to them, much to Iden's dismay, though they ultimately settle for it.
    Del: What about that?
    Iden: A cloud car?!
    Del: It's a ship.
    Iden: Ugh. Fine.
    [Later]
    Iden: When I said we needed a ship, I should have been more specific.
    Del: It has weapons! What more do you want?
    Iden: For it not to be a cloud car!
    • When Iden explains why she needs a starship that's not a Cloud Car, i.e., to blow up several Tibana gas stations heavily guarded by Star Destroyers, Del realizes his mistake.
      Del: You know what, you were right. The cloud car was not a good choice for this.
  • During the Sullust mission, Lando ends up destroying an Imperial base by causing a lava overflow (the base is built directly around a volcano). While trying to escape, a Protocol Droid announces over the intercom about the lava rising and advises an evacuation with all the urgency of someone announcing "Clean up on Aisle 3."
    • Not long after, Lando tries pressing controls to move an AT-AT around to make a makeshift bridge, and fails, much to his exasperation. He's then given a new objective: "Push Some Buttons?" (yes, question mark and all). Finally, the objective just reads: "Just shoot the thing." The third time's the charm, as shooting the controls does the trick and drops the AT-AT down. After that, his new objective is simply "Get Out, Already".
    • While Lando and Shriv are infiltrating the factory:
      Lando: Come on! You and me back in action? Tell me you don't miss this.
      Shriv: I absolutely do not miss this.
    • When Lando and Shriv board an abandoned AT-ST, Shriv calls Iden for extraction, only for her to wonder whatever happened to to the original mission. You can just picture poor Iden asking herself, "These guys were able to take on the Empire...how?"
      Shriv: Iden, it's time.
      Iden: Great! How many weapons are we picking up?
      Shriv: Um, zero? We seem to have melted them.
      Iden: Then what's our cargo?
      Shriv: One desperate Duros and one ridiculous man in a cape.
      Iden: I was very specific about your mission parameters!
    • When the pair run out of escape options, they get off the AT-ST, and Shriv says this gem:
      Shriv: If I die here... I'm glad you will too.
      Lando: Well, thank you, buddy.
  • Before Iden heads out for the battle on Jakku's surface, Del wishes her to come back safe, to which she replies the same. This is a heartwarming moment, but then Shriv, who was beside Iden, overheard the conversation and feels dejected by Del seemingly ignoring him.
    Shriv: [Mimicking what he feels Del should have said] "Hey Shriv, I hope you survive this incredibly dangerous mission as well." Thank you Del, your friendship means everything to me.

Everything Else:

  • This exchange from the first trailer:
  • The live-action multiplayer trailer, thanks to heavy doses of War Ship mixed with an Escalating War between the two main characters.
  • One of Finn's powers allows him to grant him and other troopers additional health in an area at the expense of sprinting. The name of said power? "Big Deal."
  • Kylo has a star card called Berserking Tantrum.
  • Dropping a turret as a battle droid will sometimes come along with a cheerful little "Good luck, turret!" as if your droid is wishing the turret luck on its first day of school.
  • Some of the announcer's dialogue in Heroes vs. Villains can be quite amusing.
    Announcer: [When Yoda is defeated] Defeated, Yoda is.
    Announcer: [When Darth Maul is defeated] Somewhere, Qui-Gon Jinn is laughing.
    Announcer: [When Han Solo is defeated] Someone shot Han first.
  • Imagine a humanoid or droid player winning first place in the results corner with the Lightsaber-activated Grievous being second...hilarity ensues.
  • In the final phase of Galactic Assault on Kamino, the droids have to access the fusion core before they run out of reinforcements. If a player begins to slice into the fusion core, they may say this:
    Battle Droid: Step 1 of... 50!?
    • There's also this one during the second phase on Naboo, where the Separatists must override one of the palace doors in order to access the throne roomnote :
      Battle Droid: Overriding the East Station. 1%, 2%...
  • The Separatist announcer, a Tactical Droid, gets plenty of digs at both the Clones, and especially their Droid army's expense if they're doing poorly.
    Announcer: [CIS Introduction cutscene in Capital Supremacy] The Republic has once again arrived to disrupt our operations. The resulting situation may require a... [all-out war ensues between the two armies in the skies] diplomatic solution. But, more likely, the utter obliteration of their vessel.
    Announcer: [if the Droids lose the ground battle in Capital Supremacy] I find your ineptitude less amusing as time goes by.
    Announcer: [CIS victory, as the Republics Capital Ship begins to crash and burn into the ground] You would think these Clones would learn to take better care of their things by now.
  • The banters between the Hero and Villain characters can be a riot in of themselves, from mythology gags, friendly banter, or straight up roasting each other.
  • Certain taunts spouted by Anakin are rather snarky.
  • As always, Obi-Wan gets some good digs as well.
  • Some of the troopers' death screams are funnier than others. Every now and then, humanoid troops will go out with a Wilhelm scream, while battle droids have a tendency to just yell "REEE!"
  • One of the clone announcer's briefings for Naboo has him sound just plain done with the whole situation.
    Announcer: [Introduction] "Are they really trying to invade Naboo again? Okay, let's do this again: capture the command posts and grind the droids into metal confetti."
    Announcer: [Republic Victory] "Well they didn't see that coming. You'd think with all the metal brains being thrown at Naboo, you'd think one of them would have learned their lesson by now!"
