Jason Fry QUOTES

1 " Ben Solo had sought to abandon everything he had been, even casting aside his name. But Luke sensed that Kylo Ren was just a shell around the same broken boy he had tried so hard to reach. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

2 " Failure most of all. The greatest teacher failure is. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

3 " Despite being programmed for etiquette and protocol, C-3PO had a singularly awful sense of diplomacy. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

4 " Humans and other organics were dangerously error-prone in so many ways: They somehow failed to see or hear important stimuli, insisted on ignoring data they didn’t like, and forgot things they desperately needed to remember. Any self-respecting droid would have addressed such failings with a quick diagnostics session and memory defragmentation.
Yet organics made up for this—at least a little bit—with a talent for tackling a problem with simultaneous bits and pieces of multiple subroutines at once, what they called improvisation. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

5 " Hux was a revolutionary, full of fire and fervor, but revolutionaries' seasons were fleeting "

― Jason Fry

6 " The Falcon had taken him away from Tatooine decades ago—a shell-shocked farm boy hurled into the middle of a galactic civil war he’d wrongly assumed would never touch him, his step-parents, or his friends.
He wondered what that Luke Skywalker would think of what he’d become. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

7 " Ackbar knew the fry would come up with the wrong answer. As the young so often did, they were arguing about tactics but failing to consider personalities. Hux’s principal concern wasn’t winning an engagement, but demonstrating the First Order capabilities and might for a galactic audience. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

8 " perfect information is a luxury you can rarely afford. All you can do is make the best decision with whatever imperfect information you do have. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

9 " We are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

10 " Snoke's escape shuttle is gone," the general replied.
Kylo considered that. Rey had recovered first. She must have realized he was at her mercy, yet she'd left him alive.
Almost as if she cared for him. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

11 " I know everything I need to know about you," she countered, taken aback.
"You do?" he asked, and peered at her, eyes intent. "You do, You have that look in your eyes from the forest, when you called me a monster."
He came within a meter or two of Rey, and she wondered what would happen if she refused to move and they intersected. Would she find herself in his mind again, and have to endure his presence in hers? Could they actually touch, across a galaxy?
"You are a monster," Rey said, remembering the terror of her paralysis on Takodana.
She stared back at him -- and found his. eyes full of hurt. Hurt -- and conflict.
"Yes, I am," Kylo said, and there was no menace in his voice -- only misery. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

12 " Kylo had rummaged through these hopes and fears, things he had no right to. But as he searched, something had changed. Even as he callously rifled through her mind, he had somehow revealed his own. Rey found herself in his mind even as he invaded hers. She felt his rage, like a ruinous storm that filled his head, and his hatred, and his lust to dominate and humiliate those who wronged him. But she also felt his hurt, and his loneliness. And his fear -- that he would never prove as strong as Darth Vader, the ghost who haunted his dreams.
Kylo had retreated at finding Rey in his head -- had practically fled from her. But that had not been the end of that strange, sudden connection. She had seen more -- far more. Somehow, almost instinctually, she knew how he accessed some of the powers at his command -- even though she didn't understand them. It was as if his training had become hers, unlocking and flinging open door after door in her mind.
But now Rey couldn't shut those doors -- and she feared what had been set loose.
Kylo had urged her to let him be her teacher -- had pleaded with her, almost. "

13 " Kylo Ren knew who was in the escape pod even before it opened with a hiss of vapor---her presence had been a steady pulse from the Force the moment his junk-heap freighter once again somehow heaved itself out of hyperspace without disintegrating. The stormtroopers behind him stood ready, but he just smiled at the sight of Rey crammed into the pod's tight confines. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

14 " His apprentice had barely moved since delivering Rey, but his emotions had been simmering when he arrived, and begun to boil when Snoke revealed that he was the creator of Kylo's mysterious connection with Rey.
Or at least they had boiled until a moment ago. Then the tumult had ceased, replaced by an eerie calm and focus. Snoke had been surprised, but pleased. Master and apprentice had work ahead of them, and Kylo -- that endlessly conflicted mixture of light and dark -- had finally found himself. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

15 " Rey found herself in his mind even as he invaded hers. She felt his rage, like a ruinous storm that filled his head, and his hatred, and his lust to dominate and humiliate those who had wronged him. But she also felt his hurt, and his loneliness. And his fear - that he would never prove as strong as Darth Vader, the ghost who haunted his dreams "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

16 " Jakku had trained her to do two things better than anyone else could.
The first was to salvage broken things.
The second was to wait. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

17 " We haven't done anything," Luke agreed, though he knew that was no guarantee of safety. Plenty of things happened to people who hadn't done anything - things that were never discussed again, or at least not by anyone with any sense. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

18 " Rose made a mental note---make that another mental note---to take Poe aside, should they manage to actually rescue the Resistancce fleet without dying in any of a dozen ways she decided it would be too depressing to catalog. Having already proven amenable to disobeying orders, assuming false identities, and committing simple assault, the pilot's astromech was now developing a taste for larceny. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

19 " The moment Rey reached her hut she had felt him near her, in the Force. The connection between them was so raw and powerful that it reminded her of touching a live wire in the wreckage of a starship. She had closed her eyes, opened them, and found Kylo Ren there--right next to her where she sat on the stone bench. As if she could actually reach out and touch his hand, his face, his hair.

At the sight of him she'd felt relief surge through her. "

― Jason Fry , The Last Jedi (Star Wars: Novelizations, #8)

20 " His smile faded at the sight of his uncles lightsaber.

“i’ll take that” he said. “It belongs to me”…

“Strange, then, that it called to me at the castle” Rey said, studying the ancient weapon almost idly before snapping her gaze back to Kylo. “And not to you”.

The corner of Kylo’s mouth twitched in the beginning of a smile, and he inclined his head at the soldiers filling the hangar.

“You’re in no position to dictate”
