Star Wars: Squadrons Quotes

“(War's over, Imp) It's not over yet. Not for me.”

“TIE pilots push the limits. Sometimes the limits push back.”

“Star Wars: Squadrons”

“How could you challenge an Imperial Star Destroyer? [...] This is a futile gesture. You have nowhere to go. And I have no interest in prisoners.”

“Call me Shen. Before you ask, helmet stays on, cockpit or not. Too many hard landings. Broken neck, five, six times. Cybernetics keep me going. Fight. Fall. Get up. Fight again. All for the Empire.”

“Captain Kerrill understands. She doesn't lecture me about 'justifiable force' like my other commanders. She knows all I need is a target. Politics are for admirals. I keep it simple: always shoot to kill.”

“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.”

“Terisa Kerrill was my second in command at FoStar Haven. She was my protege. She's gone from a Coruscant street orphan to captaining her own star destroyer. The Empire gave her everything, and she'll do anything to defend it.”

“Before us is a historic victory... if we have the mettle to seize it. The baradium, the Overseer, even our TIE fighters are only tools. What decides a battle is our will to conquer. That's what the rebels have never understood.”

“Frisk: I hate these clouds. Who knows what's out there.
Gunny: We know what's out there. A star destroyer with a Captain who wants us dead.
Frisk: Real helpful. Thanks Gunny.”

“The Captain ha a personal stake in project Starhawk. A vendetta with Lindon Javes. Take it from me, nothing motivates like betrayal. I've seen too many good pilots-friends-turn traitor. I put them out of their misery, but there's always more out there.”

“The first crash was hardest. Had to learn breathing, walking... Saw my cockpit in my nightmares. Wasn't personal. A rebel shot me down, my wingmate returned fire. But pain is personal. My team deserved my best. The Empire demanded it. So step by step I conquered pain. I rose-I flew.”

“The point I'm trying to make is... whether it's a life or death mission, or just helping a Trandoshan feel at home, we make it work. So yeah, things look bleak. But when Vanguard flies together, there's nothing we can't do. Especially with you around. And if we fail, we fail together. And no-one will ever know because we'll be dead!”

“When I left the Empire, I tried to leave behind their views on morality and certainty. The core of Imperial doctrine is certainty that what you're doing is right. Doubt is seen as disloyalty. Now I understand that you have to look at your decisions with a clear heart, and ask what more you could do-should do. For those who lead, doubt is necessary.”

“Once the Starhawk is gone, we'll be one step closer to ending this war. But the end of the war doesn't mean the end of our duty, does it? Captain Kerrill may be satisfied with destroying the Starhawk, but it's only one ship. Enemies of the Empire exist all across the galaxy. I'll deal with them myself if I have to. Sounds like a good retirement to me!”

“I'm so tired of arguments about imperial morality. I've heard pilots question our Empire. They wonder if our methods were right. But they always forget one thing... The simple fact is this. We have the power, so we have determined what is right. When you're out there, never forget that you get to decide who lives and who dies. You've earned that power.”

“You know this attack is about more than the Starhawk, Vanguard, or even the dockyards. It represents a strike at everything the 'New Republic' represents-what they think they gained at Endor. New Republic-even the names a joke. The Republic has never been anything but ten thousand squabbling voices. Though after this, they'll be screaming in unison. Lets show the New Republic for the sham it really is.”

“Terisa Kerrill: I won't insult you by asking for your surrender, Lindon.
Lindon Javes: Terisa... I underestimated you. Not just your talent. Your willingness to be used... By an Empire that will destroy you.
Terisa Kerrill: You never knew me at all. You failed at Nadiri. Your Starhawk is finished! Was it worth it, Lindon?
Lindon Javes: You only see what I've lost. Not what I've saved.”

“The Nadiri Dockyards are burning. Their Starhawk flees before us. Lindon and Vanguard are within our reach. Vengeance is sweet, isn't it? But this is no time to get complacent. I've waited too long to let Lindon slip away again. Admiral Sloane is adamant that the Starhawk be destroyed. But we cannot engage it directly. The tractor beam is too powerful. Instead, we must force them into the Ringali Nebula. There, Vangaurd and their battleship will be erased from history. Our Empire has called us to serve. We cannot fail.”

“(The Star Destroyer Overseer is targeting a New Republic Starhawk battleship with barradium missiles)
Terisa Kerrill: Your people needed you Lindon. But you weren't here. Is there anyone you won't turn your back on?
(Vanguard Squadron's flagship arrives in system and absorbs the first pair of missiles, shielding the Starhawk)
Lindon Javes: I'm here now, Terissa. If there's anything you want to say, say it.
Terisa Kerrill: All stations, fire on that ship!”
