1 " He hadn't known her, didn't know her, of course. There wasn't the time. "
― Alexander Freed , Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Star Wars: Novelizations, #3.5)
2 " Fear was like heat applied to steal: Applied correctly it might forge a blade; overused, it turned metal to slag. "
― Alexander Freed , Twilight Company (Star Wars: Battlefront #1)
3 " I don’t need luck,” Chirrut said. “I have you. "
4 " I’m not used to people sticking around when things go bad,” she said, by way of explanation. "
5 " When our objectives become purely military, we've already lost the larger fight. "
6 " In the years since those experiences, most every cell in your body—every atom—has been replaced and renewed. You have rebuilt yourself, both physically and mentally. You do not need to carry the guilt of prior incarnations. "
― Alexander Freed , Shadow Fall (Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron, #2)
7 " The Empire was crumbling every day. Trillions of people were free because of the Rebellion. Because she was a general running a battle group instead of a cell leader flying the Ghost on one mad assignment or another.Still, she missed her old crew. Her family.She wished they all could have been with her aboard the Lodestar. "

8 " Chirrut shrugged mildly. “The Force did protect me.” “I protected you,” his partner replied. "
9 " You give way to an enemy this evil with this much power and you condemn the galaxy to an eternity of submission. "
10 " Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Director," the voice from the abyss said. "

11 " His voice was metallic and deep and resonant, his breath a rasping hiss underneath the impact of his words."Where is Skywalker?" "
12 " You know Jyn Erso?” she began, because if they didn’t the rest of the story would be meaningless. “The woman who started it all and destroyed the Death Star? The first one, the real one, I mean.”“General Skywalker and Red Squadron destroyed the Death Star,” Nath said.“Skywalker fired the last shot, was all. Jyn did everything that mattered. "
13 " They deserve better. "
14 " He saw a figure in white robes near the bridge entrance and turned the tape over in his hand. He approached the woman and said, his tone respectful, "Your Highness. The transmission we received..."The woman looked toward him. He'd seen her face many times before, knew it well. She was young, seemed younger every day, even as her responsibilities grew and grew.He held out his hand. Childlike fingers took the tape."What is it they've sent us?" he asked.Prince Leia Organa looked at him as if he'd placed another burden on her shoulders - another responsibility to add to a count of thousands - and she was proud to bear it."Hope," she said.Raymus believed her. "
15 " There is more than one sort of prison, Captain," Chirrut said. "I sense that you carry yours wherever you go. "
16 " Stardust," Jyn said. "It's that one.""How do you know that?" Curiosity and urgency mixed in his voice, as if he wanted to say: Be sure. Jyn was sure. "I know because it's me. "
17 " Hope?" She eyed Cassian dubiously. "Is that the best the Rebel Intelligence can do?" Cassian might as well have shrugged. "Rebellions are built on hope," he said "
18 " Does he look like a killer?"She was watching Cassian and Bodhi descend into the mud when she heard Chirrut's voice. She turned to look and saw he was speaking to Baze."No," Baze said, after a moment of thought. "He has the face of a friend.""Who are you talking about?" she asked.Baze eyed her appraisingly. "Captain Andor," he said, flat.She should have been irritated by the curt explanation. Instead she could only muster vague confusion. "Why do you ask that?" she said, looking to Chirrut now. "What do you mean, Does he look like a killer?""The Force moves darkly near a creature that's about to kill," Chirrut answered. "
19 " The Force is with me,” he repeated. “And I am with the Force.” Did he believe the words? Did it matter? Had it ever mattered? "
20 " What chance do we have'? The question is 'what choice'. "
