165 " Jacen Solo, your sojourn in the lands of the dead is at an end. It is time once again to walk the bright fields of day. "
166 " The dark is generous, and it is patient.It is the dark that seeds cruelty into justice, that drips contempt into compassion, that poisons love with grains of doubt.The dark can be patient, because the slightest drop of rain will cause those seeds to sprout.The rain will come, and the seeds will sprout, for the dark is the soil in which they grow, and it is the clouds above them, and it waits behind the star that gives them light.The dark’s patience is infinite.Eventually, even stars burn out "
167 " Somehow Luke understood - in a way that Lando never had, that Hand and Leia and Chewbacca had simply never grasped - just how dark a place the universe really was.Lando guessed that was where Luke got his humility. His kindness. His gentle faith that people could change for the better. That must have been why he rarely smiled, and almost never made jokes. Because the goodness was all he rally had. It was his lifeline. The rope to which he clung, dangling over the abyss. "

170 " Oh, you’re a lot of help. Luke, ignore him anyway—he hates officers. "
171 " Because that's what Jedi do, isn't it? Luke thought. That's what we're for.We're the ones who bring the light. "

173 " This was impossible. This must be some hallucination, a twisted product of his Darksight run amok. He was in hyperspace! Hyperspace did not, could not, interact with realspace--I was with Ben Kenobi in hyperspace when he felt the destruction of Alderaan.No wall can contain the Force. "
174 " Here we are, in the Dark, he thought. And it's not empty. It's not meaningless. Not with us all here.It's beautiful. "

176 " We just got beat, he thought. They outplanned us. Suckered us in. And we went for it headfirst because we thought we were invincible. We thought the good guys always win. Of all of them, Luke was the only one who had never suffered under that delusion. Well: not never. Han had told him once that something in Luke had changed after Bespin. Somehow Luke understood—in a way that Lando never had, that Han and Leia and Chewbacca had simply never grasped—just how dark a place the universe really was. Lando guessed that was where Luke got his humility. His kindness. His gentle faith that people could change for the better. That must have been why he rarely smiled, and almost never made jokes. Because that goodness was all he really had. It was his lifeline. The rope to which he clung, dangling above the abyss. "
