101 " He knows how war goes. It’s not many wars, but just one, drawn out again and again, cut up into slices so it seems more manageable. "
― Chuck Wendig , Aftermath (Star Wars: Aftermath, #1)
102 " The Empire is just a skin we wear, you see. A shell. It’s not just about law and order. It’s about total control. "

104 " You chastise the dark side as if it is an evil path, laughable for its malevolence. But do not confuse it with evil. And do not confuse the light as being the product of benevolence. The Jedi of old were cheats and liars. Power-hungry maniacs operating under the guise of a holy monastic order. Moral crusaders whose diplomacy was that of the lightsaber. The dark side is honest. The dark side is direct. It is the knife in the front rather than one stuck in your back. The dark side is self-interested, yes, but it is about extending that interest outward. To yourself, but then beyond yourself. "
