Fear.
Fear attracts the fearful,
the strong,
the weak,
the innocent,
the corrupt.
Fear.
Fear is my ally.
Darth Maul, One Truth

What if dreams came true,
and you could be who you wanted to be,
and you could do what you wanted to do,
and you could help who you wanted to help.
What if dreams came true?
And the world opened up,
and you were never, ever afraid.
What if dreams came true?
But dreams do come true.
Don't they?
Anakin Skywalker, One Dream

It will be a hard life.
One without reward.
Without remorse.
Without regret.
A path will be placed before you.
The choice is yours alone.
Do what you think you cannot do.
It will be a hard life.
But you will find out who you are.
Qui-Gon Jinn, One Destiny

Don't look back before you go.
Eyes forward.
Choices to make,
dreams to realize.
Don't look back before you go.
Know the truth.
Learn to let go.
Don't look back before you go,
before you leave...
Me.
Shmi Skywalker, One Love

There are things I cannot do.
I cannot watch while people suffer,
I cannot sit when something must be done,
I cannot judge those who are different.
There are things I cannot do.
Run,
hide,
ignore.
There are things I cannot do.
But there are certainly things I WILL do.
Queen Amidala, One Will

Yoda: Always two there are, no more, no less. A master and an apprentice.
Mace Windu: But which was destroyed, the master or the apprentice?

Are you an angel?
Eight-year-old Anakin Skywalker tries a classic pickup line on the Queen of Naboo. She's fourteen in the same scene, but not a lot of people know that.

Chancellor Valorum: "The chair recognizes the senator from the sovereign system of Naboo."
Senator Palpatine: "Supreme Chancellor. Delegates of the Senate. A tragedy has occurred, which started right here with the taxation of trade routes, and has now engulfed our entire planet in the oppression of the Trade Federation."
Trade Federation Senator: "This is outrageous! I object to the Senator's statements!"
Chancellor Valorum: "The chair does not recognize the senator from the Trade Federation at this time."
Senator Palpatine: "To state our allegations, I present Queen Amidala, recently elected ruler of the Naboo, who speaks on our behalf."
Queen Amidala: "Honorable representatives of the Republic. I come to you under the gravest of circumstances. Naboo's system has been invaded by the droid armies of the Trade-"
Trade Federation Senator: "I object! There is no proof! This is incredible! We recommend a commission be sent to Naboo to ascertain the truth!"
Malastare Senator: "The congress of Malastare concurs with the honorable delegate from the Trade Federation. A commission must be appointed!"
Chancellor Valorum: "The point-"
Chancellor's Aide: "Excuse me Chancellor..."
Senator Palpatine: "Enter the bureaucrats... the true rulers of the Republic. And on the payroll of the Trade Federation, I might add. This is where Chancellor Valorum's strength will disappear."
Chancellor Valorum: "The point is conceded. Will you defer your motion to allow a commission to explore the validity of your accusations?"
Queen Amidala: "I will not defer. I've come before you to resolve this attack on our sovereignty now. I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a committee! If this body is not capable of action, I suggest new leadership is needed. I move for a vote of no confidence in Chancellor Valorum's leadership."
Chancellor's Aide: "Order!"
Senator Palpatine: "Now they will elect a new Chancellor. A strong Chancellor. One who will not let our tragedy continue."
