Zitate und Sprüche von Wedge Antilles

Luke: "It's not impossible. I used to bull's-eye womp rats in my T-16 back home, and they're not much bigger than two meters!"
Wedge: "Yeah, and were the womp rats shooting at you with turbolaser cannons?"

If you continue to map the Unknown Regions, you'll have to call them something else.

Lieutenant, you're out of uniform. And you know, wearing an Ewok as a swimsuit is a felony on some worlds.

Cracken: "You're coming dangerously close to insubordination, General."
Wedge: "No, General. I'm not your subordinate. And what I'm coming dangerously close to is violence."

Isard: "I expected you to be taller."
Wedge: "I expected you to be dead."

Tomer, I direct your attention to the word "let". You've misused it. You don't "let" me, or "not let" me, anything. Understand?

Wedge: "What's that?"
Janson: "That's the sun, Wedge. It's after dawn."
Wedge: "Well, it offends me. Turn it off."

Han: "I could arrange for you to receive orders to conquer Coruscant, but your only resources would be twelve drunken Ewoks, four malfunctioning speeders, and forty kilos of beach sand."
Wedge: "That'll take at least two weeks, sir."

There are two types of male pilots. Good men, such as the ones I never tried to break or run out of my squadrons, whom I would shoot before I ever trusted them with my daughter. And worse men, whom I would shoot if I caught them looking at my daughter.

Your commander and I have something in common- I once flew for the Empire too. At Skystrike Academy. Turning to the Rebellion was the smartest move I ever made. I wish more of my friends had done the same.

It's like you said: the Death Star had to be stopped. Just as the Empire must be destroyed. If that's going to happen, some of us have to get blood on our hands. We have to be willing to kill, and willing to die. It's not easy and it never will be. But I can tell you this much, Kyrell. It's easier than standing by and doing nothing.

There's enough darkness in the galaxy right now. Let me know if you want to spread a little light

We are Alderaan. We answer rage with wisdom. We answer fear with imagination. We answer war with hope. If one life with a single drop of Alderaanian blood survives, Alderaan survives.

Rule through the fear of force rather than force itself.

Dooku chose his next words carefully. "Qui-Gon returned from Tatooine with a former slave boy. According to the boy's mother, the boy had no father."

Kanan: "Zeb, are you embarrassing the Imperials again?"
Zeb: "Honestly, Kanan, it's hard not to."

Thrawn or Tarkin would be perfect for this assignment. But both are gone. And few in my Empire rise to their level of skill

For if one is remembered by a friend, one is never truly gone.

There are things in the universe that are simply and purely evil. A warrior does not seek to understand them, or to compromise with them. He seeks only to obliterate them.

A warrior may forget that even the task of identifying the enemy can be difficult. And the cost of that failure can lead to catastrophe.

Time for Thrawn to face his future.
Time for Vader to face his past.

I am a warrior, Your Majesty. A warrior may retreat. He does not flee. He may lie in ambush. He does not hide. He may experience victory or defeat. He does not cease to serve.

All lives are important, and I resist the thought of standing by and watching two hundred possibly needless deaths.

Palpatine: "Congratulations, Grand Admiral. An excellent day for you. An excellent day for my Empire. Though I fear many will not see it that way."
Thrawn: "I will endeavor to set their hearts and minds at ease. But I must first calm my own heart and mind."

It is said that one should keep one's allies within view, and one's enemies within reach. A valid statement. One must be able to read an ally's strengths, so as to determine how to best use them. One must similarly be able to read his enemy's weaknesses, so as to determine how to best defeat him. But what of friends? There is no accepted answer, perhaps true friendship is so exceedingly rare. But I had formulated my own. A friend need not be kept within sight or within reach. A friend must be allowed the freedom to find and follow his own path. If one is fortunate, those paths will for a time join. But if paths separate, it is comforting to know that a friend still graces the universe with his skills, and his viewpoint, and his present. For if one is remembered by a friend, one is never truly gone.

Aristocra Zistalmu: "You've made quite a name for yourself over the past few years."
Thrawn: "Sometimes that name is appended to a curse."

I can see it all. Their tactics, their patterns, their weaknesses. I could tell you right here, right now, how to beat them.

If any break off and run, let them go. Their tales of what happened here today will hasten the demoralization of any other such groups.

Thrawn: "You are a Jedi, then?"
Anakin: "I'd have thought that was obvious."
Thrawn: "Not at all. Our myths of the Republic speak of two groups of beings with such powers: the Jedi, and the Sith. But the Sith are reputed to be clever and capable warriors."

Qilori: "If they suspect you're hunting pirates-"
Thrawn: "You think they only suspect? Yes; point taken. Let's remove any lingering doubts."
