Quotes / X-Wing Series

Pretty. What do we blow up first?

— Wraith Squadron motto

Admiral Ackbar: When I read about what you tried to do for her... well, it is cruel to learn that one you love has died so far away from the heart of her clan, but at least I know she was among friends. Friends close enough to try such a thing.
Kell Tainer: She was, sir.

— Wraith Squadron

They flew with heart and brains and their entire being.

— Corran Horn on the Rogues

Phanan: A laser scalpel. Hard to distinguish from a writing tool without close inspection and up close, I'm pretty effective with it.

Repness: I'd say so. Did you surrender this weapon to our guards before coming before me?

Phanan: What weapon, sir?

Repness: The laser scalpel.

Phanan: Not a weapon, sir. It's a tool of medicine. I wasn't asked to turn over my bandages, bacta treatments, disinfectant sprays, or tranquilizers either, but I can kill a man with any of them, under the right circumstances.

— X-Wing: Iron Fist

There's no mechanical replacement for a future, Face. And every time I take a hit, and they have to cut away another part of me and replace it with machinery because I'm allergic to bacta, every time that happens I seem to be a little further away from that young doctor who had a future. He can't come back, Face. Not all of him is here anymore.

— Ton Phanan to Garik "Face" Loran, X-Wing: Iron Fist.

All the furniture that made up the way I'd thought and felt about things all my life started coming loose in my head. Nowadays it slides around and breaks into pieces and I have no idea what parts of it are real and what aren't. It hurts, and a lot of the time I don't know who I am anymore.

"It's called the gray fallacy. One person says white, another says black, and outside observers assume gray is the truth. The assumption of gray is sloppy, lazy thinking. The fact that one person is diametrically opposed to the truth does not then skew reality so the truth is no longer the truth."

— Tycho Celchu, Isard's Revenge

Iella: "Poor boy. He's a perator now. He can't lavish praise upon you and beg you to teach him all you know."

Wedge: "As if he would."

Iella: "He would. Our profile on him says he's one of your biggest admirers. But now he's locked behind the ruler's mask and can never admit it."

— Starfighters of Adumar

Falynn: Did you ever have to... you know... I mean, you don't have to answer if that's too personal.

Donos: Did I ever shoot someone in cold blood? Without giving him a chance? [she nods] Yes. Three times I did that. I didn't much care for it; if I did, I'd probably still be doing it. But better to have dead enemies than dead innocents.

— Wraith Squadron

Wes: Red Two, this is Red Three. Am I crazy, or is the general doing what he tells us never to do?
Tycho: Three, Two. Yes, you are, and yes, he is. Pay no attention.

— Starfighters of Adumar
