Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Best Quotes

Leia Organa: This mission is everything. We cannot fail. Any words from Rey?
Snap Wexley: The Falcon’s not responding.
Rose Tico: Do you have to say it like that?
Snap Wexley: Like what?
Leia Organa: Do me a personal favor. Be optimistic.
Snap Wexley: Yes, ma’am. This is terrific. You’re not going to believe how well this is going to turn out. It’s going to be great.

Poe Dameron: [after they sink in through the sand and end up in underground tunnels] Rey?! Finn?!
C-3PO: You didn’t say my name, sir, but I’m alright.

C-3PO: [after they end up in the underground tunnels] This isn’t the afterlife, is it? Are droids allowed in here?

Rey: So what was it?
Finn: What?
Rey: What you were going to tell me.
Finn: When?
Rey: When you were sinking in the sand, you said, “I never told you.”
Finn: I’ll tell you later.
Poe Dameron: You mean when Poe’s not here?
Finn: Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Poe Dameron: We’re going to die in sand boroughs and we’re all keeping secrets?
Finn: I’ll tell you when you tell u about all that shifty stuff you do.

Poe Dameron: [after they find Ochi’s bones in the underground tunnel] Bones. I don’t like bones.
C-3PO: C-3PO: Bone. Never a good sign.

C-3PO: [after finding the dagger in the underground tunnel] Oh, the location of the wayfinder has been inscribed upon this dagger. It’s the clue that Master Luke was looking for.
Finn: Yeah. Where’s the wayfinder?
C-3PO: I am afraid I cannot tell you.
Poe Dameron: Twenty point three gazillion languages, and you can’t read that?
C-3PO: Oh, I read it, sir. I know exactly where the wayfinder is. Unfortunately, it is written in the ruining language of the Sith.
Rey: So what?
C-3PO: My programing forbids me to from translating it.
Poe Dameron: So you’re telling us the one time we need you to talk, you can’t?
C-3PO: I’m unable, sir. I am mechanically incapable of speaking translations from Sith. I believe the rule was passed by the senate…
[just then a giant sand worm appears behind 3PO]

Rey: [to BB8 after healing the sand worm that was about to attack them] I just transferred a bit of life, Force energy from me to him. You would have done the same.

C-3PO: [after leaving the underground tunnel] I suggest we return to the Millennium Falcon at once.
Poe Dameron: They’ll be waiting for us at the Falcon.
Finn: Yeah, they’ll throw us in the pits of Grick.
Poe Dameron: Yeah, and use you as a target droid.
C-3PO: You both make excellent points, at times.

Rey: [after accidentally destroys the First Order transport that had captured Chewie] I lost control.
Finn: It wasn’t your fault.
Rey: It was.
Finn: No. It was Ren, he made you…
Rey: Chewie’s gone. That power came from me. Finn, there are things you don’t know.
Finn: Then tell me.
Rey: I had a vision of the throne of the Sith, and who was on it.
Finn: Ren.
Rey: And me.

Finn: We got to go back to base.
Poe Dameron: We don’t have time to go back. We are not giving up. If we do that, Chewie died for nothing.
Finn: Poe, Chewie had the dagger.
Poe Dameron: Well, we got to find another way.
Finn: There isn’t. That was the only way to the wayfinder thing, and it’s gone.
C-3PO: So true. The inscription lives only in my memory now.
Poe Dameron: Hold on. The inscription that was on the dagger is in your memory?
C-3PO: Yes, Master Poe. But the translation of a forbidden language cannot be retrieved. That is short of a complete redactive memory bypass.
Finn: A complete what?
C-3PO: It’s a terribly dangerous, and simple, act performed on unwitting droids by dregs and criminals.
Finn: Let’s do that!

Poe Dameron: If this mission fails, it’s all been for nothing. All we’ve done, all this time.
Finn: We’re all in this. Till the end.
Rey: For Chewie.
Poe Dameron: [Finn holds his hand to Poe] Hands?
Finn: Hands.
Poe Dameron: [takes Finn’s hand] For Chewie.

Poe Dameron: [after they arrive on Kijimi] Alright. I know what we should do.
C-3PO: So do I. We should leave.
Poe Dameron: Clam it, 3PO.

Poe Dameron: [as they bump into Zorii Bliss on Kijimi] So you’re still mad? Zori, we could use your help. We got to crack this droid’s head open, and fast.
C-3PO: Pardon me!
Poe Dameron: We’re trying to find Babu Frik.
Zorii Bliss: Babu? Babu only works for the crew. That’s not you anymore.
Rey: What crew?
Zorii Bliss: Oh, funny, he never mentioned it.
Poe Dameron: No. No…
Zorii Bliss: Your friend’s old job was running spice.
Finn: You were a spice runner?
Poe Dameron: You were a Stormtrooper?
Rey: Were you a spice runner?
Poe Dameron: Were you a scavenger? I mean we can do this all night.

Finn: Poe Dameron, spice runner. Runner of spice.
Poe Dameron: Alright.

C-3PO: [as 3PO is having his memory unlocked] I haven’t the faintest idea why I agreed to this. I must be malfunctioning. I must be malfunctioning.

Poe Dameron: [referring to 3PO] Babu, can you make him translate it?
Zorii Bliss: [translates for Babu] Yes, but it will cause a complete…
C-3PO: A complete memory wipe.
Poe Dameron: Wait, wait, wait. If we make him translate it, he won’t remember anything?
Babu Frik: Droid, the memory go blank. Blank like.
C-3PO: Oh, there must be some other way!
Finn: Doesn’t R2 backup your memory?
C-3PO: Oh, please, R2’s storage units are famously unreliable.
Rey: You know the odds better than any of us. Do we have a choice?
C-3PO: If this mission fails, it was all for nothing. What we’ve done, all this time.

Poe Dameron: [as 3PO is looking at them all before his memory gets wiped] What are you doing there, 3PO?
C-3PO: Taking one last look, sir, at my friends.
D-O: Sad.

Rey: Something’s not right about all of this. I know where I’ve seen it. The ship he was on, Ochi’s ship.
Finn: What?
Rey: The day my parents left, they were on that ship.
Finn: Are you sure?

Rey: Ren’s Destroyer.
Poe Dameron: He’s here?
Rey: [senses something]  Chewie.
Finn: What about him?
Rey: He’s on Ren’s ship. He’s alive.
Poe Dameron: What? How?
Rey: He’s alive! He must have been on a different transport.
Finn: We got to get him!

C-3PO: [after he’s translated the Sith message and had his memory wiped] Might I introduce myself? I am C-3PO, Human Cyborg Relations. And you are?
Poe Dameron: Okay, that’s going to be a problem.
Babu Frik: Hello. I Babu Frik.
C-3PO: Why hello!

Poe Dameron: 3PO, move your metal a**! We’re almost there.
C-3PO: How dare you! We’ve only just met!

Ren: [as they are about to go rescue Chewie from Kylo’s ship] Hang on, Chewie. We’re coming.
C-3PO: However this Chewie person is, this is madness!

Stormtrooper #1: Drop your weapons!
Rey: [using the Jedi mind trick] It’s okay that we’re here.
Stormtrooper #1: [they lower their weapons] It’s okay that you’re here.
Stormtrooper #2: It’s good.
Rey: You’re relieved that we’re here.
Stormtrooper #1: Thank goodness you’re here.
Stormtrooper #2: Welcome, guys.
Poe Dameron: [to Finn] Does she do that to us?
Rey: We’re looking for a prisoner, and his belongings.

Finn: [after rescuing Chewie] Wrong way!
Poe Dameron: Not really a right way, is there!

Kylo Ren: [contacts Rey through their force bond] Rey, wherever you are, you are hard to find.
Rey: You’re hard to get rid of.

Kylo Ren: I pushed you in the desert because I needed to see you. I needed you to see who you are. I know the rest of your story. Rey.
Rey: [turns and lights up her lightsaber] You’re lying.
Kylo Ren: I never lied to you. Your parents were no one. They chose to be, to keep you safe.
Rey: Don’t!

Kylo Ren: You remember more than you say. I’ve been in your head.
Rey: I don’t want this!
Kylo Ren: Search your memories.
Rey: No!
Kylo Ren: [Rey attacks him with her lightsaber, but he stops her] Remember them. See them.
[Rey then has vision of her parents]

Kylo Ren: [referring to her parents] They sold you to protect you.
Rey: Stop talking!
Kylo Ren: Rey, I know what happened to them.

Kylo Ren: [to Rey] Tell me where you. You don’t know the whole story. It was Palpatine who had your parents taken. He was looking for you. But they wouldn’t say where you were. So he gave the order.

Kylo Ren: [after he’s discovered that Rey is on his Destroyer] You know why the Emperor’s always wanted you dead.
Rey: No.
Kylo Ren: I’ll come tell you.
[Kylo breaks their vision bond]

Poe Dameron: [as Hux is about to kill them] What were you going to tell Rey before?
Finn: Still on that?
Poe Dameron: Oh, I’m sorry. Is this a bad time?
Finn: It sort of is.
General Hux: [suddenly kills the Stormtroopers] I’m the spy.
Poe Dameron: What?!
Finn: You?!
General Hux: We don’t have much time.
Poe Dameron: I knew it!
Finn: No, you did not.

General Hux: [as he leads them to the Falcon] Blast me in the arm, quick.
Finn: What?
General Hux: Or they’ll know.
General Hux: [Finn blasts him in the leg instead] Ow!
Finn: Why are you helping us?
General Hux: I don’t care if you win. I need Kylo Ren to lose.

Rey: [after Kylo arrives on the Destroyer] Why would the Emperor come for me? Why did he want to kill a child? Tell me.
Kylo Ren: Because he saw what you would become. You don’t just have power. You have his power. You’re his granddaughter. You are a Palpatine. My mother was the daughter of Vader. Your father was the son of the Emperor. What Palpatine doesn’t know is we’re a dyad in the Force way. Two that are one. We’ll kill him together and take the throne. You know what you need to do. You know.
Rey: I do.

General Hux: [referring to Poe, Finn and Rey’s escaping on the Falcon] It was a coordinated incursion, Allegiant General. They overpowered the guards and forced me to take them to their ship.
General Pryde: I see. Get me the Supreme Leader.
First Order Officer: Yes, sir.
General Pryde: [takes one of the Stormtrooper’s weapons, blasts Hux and kills him] Tell him we found our spy.

Rey: He killed my mother, and my father. I’m going to find Palpatine, and destroy him.
Finn: Rey, that doesn’t sound like you. Rey, I know you.
Rey: People keep telling me they know me. I’m afraid no one does.

Emperor Palpatine: The Jedi apprentice still lives. Perhaps you have betrayed me. Do not make me turn my fleet against you.
Kylo Ren: I know where she’s going. She’ll never be a Jedi.
Emperor Palpatine: Make sure, and kill her.

Jannah: [after they arrive at Kef Bir and encounter Jannah and her group] I received a transmission from someone named Babu Frik.
C-3PO: Babu Frik? Oh, he’s one of my oldest friends.

C-3PO: [as they are trying to fix the Falcon whilst on Kef Bir] What a dreadful situation. Is everyday like this for you people? Madness.

Finn: Okay, wait. You were First Order?
Jannah: Not by choice. We were conscripted as kids. All of us. I was TZ-1719, Stormtrooper.
Finn: FN-2187.
Jannah: You?
Finn: I never knew there were more.
Jannah: Deserters. All of us here were Stormtroopers. We mutinied at the Battle of Ensa Island. They told us to fire on civilians. We wouldn’t do it. We laid our weapons down.
Finn: All of you.
Jannah: The whole company. I don’t even know how it happened. It wasn’t a decision really. It was like…
Finn: An instinct. A feeling.
Jannah: A feeling.

Finn: The Force. The Force brought me here. Brought me to Rey, and Poe.
Jannah: You say that like you’re sure it’s real.
Finn: It’s real. I wasn’t sure then, but I am now.

Finn: [referring to Rey] She’s not herself! You have no idea what she’s fighting.
Poe Dameron: And you do?
Finn: Yeah, I do. And so does Leia.
Poe Dameron: Well, I’m not Leia.
Finn: That’s for damn sure.

Sith Rey: [after she finds the wayfinder and sees a vision of herself as a Sith] Don’t be afraid of who you are.
[they have short duel, after which Rey drops the wayfinder and Kylo picks it up]

Kylo Ren: Look at yourself. You wanted to prove to my mother that you were a Jedi, but you have proven something else. You can’t go back to her now. like I can’t.
Rey: [referring to the wayfinder] Give it to me.
Kylo Ren: The dark side is in our nature. Surrender to it.
Rey: Give it to me.
Kylo Ren: They only way you’ll get to Exegol is with me.
Rey: [Kylo then destroys the wayfinder] No!
[they start dueling]

Maz Kanata: [as Leia senses Kylo and Rey dueling] Leia knows what must be done, R2. To reach her son now, with all the strength she has left.

Leia Organa: [through the Force] Ben.
[Kylo drops his lightsaber, Rey catches it and impales him with it, then she senses Leia death and stops]

Rey: [after she Force heals Kylo] I did want to take your hand. Ben’s hand.

Han Solo: [after Leia’s death, and Rey leaving, Kylo hears Han’s voice] Hey, kid. I miss you, son.
Kylo Ren: Your son is dead.
Han Solo: No. Kylo Ren is dead. My son is alive.
Kylo Ren: You’re just a memory.
Han Solo: Your memory. Come home.
Kylo Ren: It’s too late. She’s gone.
Han Solo: Your mother’s gone, but what she stood for, what she fought for, that’s not gone.

Han Solo: [as Kylo is having a vision memory] Ben.
Kylo Ren: I know what I have to do, but I don’t know if I have the strength to do it.
Han Solo: [touches Kylo’s face and smiles] You do.
Kylo Ren: Dad…
Han Solo: I know.
[Kylo throws his lightsaber into the water and turns to see Han gone]

Poe Dameron: [sitting by Leia body] I got to tell you, I don’t really know how to do this, what you did. I’m not ready.
Lando Calrissian: Neither were we. Luke, Han, Leia, me. Who’s ever ready?
Poe Dameron: How did you do it? Defeat an empire with almost nothing?
Lando Calrissian: We had each other. That’s how we won.

Finn: I got to talk to you about something.
Poe Dameron: I got to talk to you about something. I can’t do this alone. I need you in command with me.
Finn: [referring to D-O] This droid has… Thank you, I appreciate that.
Poe Dameron: General.
Finn: General. This droid has a ton of information about Exegol.
Poe Dameron: Wait, what, cone face?
D-O: I am D-O.
Poe Dameron: Sorry. D-O.

Luke Skywalker: [after catching his lightsaber] A Jedi’s weapon deserves more respect.
Rey: Master Skywalker.
Luke Skywalker: What are you doing?

Rey: [continues her conversation with Luke’s Force spirit] I saw myself on the dark throne. I won’t let it happen. I’m never leaving this place. I’m doing what you did.
Luke Skywalker: I was wrong. It was fear that kept me here. What are you most afraid of?
Rey: Myself.
Luke Skywalker: Because you’re a Palpatine. Leia knew it too.
Rey: She didn’t tell me. She still trained me.
Luke Skywalker: Because she saw your spirit. Your heart.

Luke Skywalker: Rey, some things are stronger than blood. Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi. Your destiny. If you don’t face Palpatine, it will mean the end of the Jedi, and the world will be lost.

Luke Skywalker: There’s something my sister would want you to have.
Rey: [takes out a lightsaber from its hiding place on the island] Leia saber.
Luke Skywalker: It was the last night of our training. Leia told me that she had sensed the death of her son at the end of her Jedi path. She surrendered her saber to me, and said that one day it would be picked up again by someone who would finish her journey. A thousand generations live in you now. But this is your fight. You’ll take both sabers to Exegol.
Rey: I can’t get there. I don’t have the wayfinder. I destroyed Ren’s ship.
Luke Skywalker: You have everything you need.

C-3PO: [upon seeing R2-D2] Oh, hello. I am C-3PO, Human Cyborg Relations. And you are?
C-3PO: [R2-D2 looks taken aback] What? Well, I’m quite certain I would remember if I had a best friend.
C-3PO: [as R2 replies] You want to put what in my head? Under no circum…
C-3PO: [as R2 loading 3PO’s memory back into his head] Memory restoration complete. R2, have you heard? I am going with Mistress Rey on her very first mission.
C-3PO: [as R2 replies] I already have?

C-3PO: [to Poe and Finn] I’m terribly sorry. I’m afraid R2’s memory bank must be crossed with his logic receptors. He says he is receiving a transmission from Master Luke.

Finn: [as Rey flies Luke’s ship to go to Exegol] It’s Rey. She’s going to Exegol. She’s showing us. She’s showing us how to get there.
Poe Dameron: Then we’ll go together.

Beaumont: [as they’re discussing their plan for getting to Exegol] We need to pull some Holdo maneuvers. Do some real damage.
Finn: Come on, that move is one in a million.

Finn: [discussing their plan for getting to Exegol] We’ll take the Falcon to the core systems, send out a call for help from anybody listening.
Poe Dameron: We’ve got friends out there. They’ll come if they know there’s hope. They will. First Order wins by making us think we’re alone. We’re not alone. Good people will fight if we lead them.

Finn: Leia never gave up. And neither will we. We’re going to show them we’re not afraid.
Poe Dameron: What our mothers and father fought for, we will not let die. Not today. Today we make our last stand, for the galaxy. For Leia. For everyone we’ve lost.
Finn: They’ve taken enough of us. Now we’re take the war to them.

Poe Dameron: [as the Resistance arrives in Exegol] Call off the ground invasion.
Finn: Wait. The nav signal is coming from that command ship. That’s our drop zone.
Jannah: How do you know?
Finn: I feel it.

Emperor Palpatine: [as Rey confronts him on Exegol] Long have I waited, for my grandchild to come home. I never wanted you dead. I wanted you here. Empress Palpatine. You will take the throne. It is your birthright, to rule, here. It is in your blood. Our blood.
Rey: I haven’t come to meet the Sith. I’ve come to win them.
Emperor Palpatine: As a Jedi?
Rey: Yes.
Emperor Palpatine: No. Your hatred, your anger. You want to kill me. That is what I want. Kill me, and my spirit will pass into you, as all the Sith live in me. You will be Empress. We will be one.

Emperor Palpatine: The time has come! With your hatred you will take my life, and you will ascend.
Rey: All you want is for me to hate, but I won’t. Not even you.
Emperor Palpatine: Weak, like your parents.
Rey: My parents were strong. They save me from you.
Emperor Palpatine: Your master, Luke Skywalker, was saved by his father. The only family you have here is me.

Emperor Palpatine: [shows Rey the Resistance fighting with Palpatine’s fleet] They don’t have long. No one is coming to help them. And you are the one who led them here. Strike me down. Take the throne. Reign over a new empire, and the fleet will be yours. Only you have the power to save them. Refuse, and your new family dies.
Emperor Palpatine: [Rey looking emotional nods her head reluctantly] Good.

Emperor Palpatine: The ritual begins! She will strike me down, and pledge herself as a Sith. She will draw her weapon. She will come to me. She will take her revenge. And with a stroke of her saber, the Sith are reborn. The Jedi are dead!
[just then Rey sees Kylo, now as Ben, smiles, nods and he nods his head in return]

Emperor Palpatine: [after Rey and Ben come together to defeat him] Stand together, die together!

Emperor Palpatine: [as he’s draining Rey and Ben’s life force to rejuvenate himself] The life force of your bond, a dyad in the Force. A power like life itself. Unseen for generations. And now, the power of two restores the one true Emperor.

Poe Dameron: [after Snap’s ship crashes] My friends, I’m sorry, I thought we had a shot. There’s just too many of them.
Lando Calrissian: But there are more of us, Poe. There are more of us.

Wedge Antilles: Nice flying, Lando.

General Pryde: [referring to the Resistance] Where did they get all these fighter crafts? They have no navy.
First Order Officer: It’s not a navy, sir. It’s just people.

Emperor Palpatine: As once I fell, so falls the last Skywalker.
[he throws Ben into a chasm]

Emperor Palpatine: [to his fleet as they are being attacked by the Resistance] Do not fear their feeble attack, my faithful. Nothing will stop the return of the Sith!
[he starts to attack the entire Resistance with Force lightning]

Rey: Be with me. Be with me. Be with me.
Obi Wan Kenobi: [Rey hears the voices of past Jedi] These are your final steps, Rey. Rise and take them.
Anakin Skywalker: Rey.
Ahsoka Tano: Rey.
Kannan Jarus: Rey.
Anakin Skywalker: Bring back the balance, Rey, as I did.
Luminara Unduli: In the light. Find the light, Rey.
Mace Windu: You’re not alone, Rey.
Yoda: Alone, never have you been.
Qui-Gon Jinn: Every Jedi who ever lived, lives in you.
Anakin Skywalker: The Force surrounds you, Rey.
Aayla Secura: Let it guide you.
Ahsoka Tano: As it guided us.
Mace Windu: Feel the Force flowing through you, Rey.
Anakin Skywalker: Let it lift you.
Adi Gallia: Rise, Rey.
Qui-Gon Jinn: We stand behind you, Rey.
Obi Wan Kenobi: Rey.
Yoda: Rise in the Force.
Kannan Jarus: In the heart of a Jedi lies their strength.
Obi Wan Kenobi: Rise.
Qui-Gon Jinn: Rise.
Luke Skywalker: Rey, the Force will be with you. Always.
[Rey finally rises, stands before Palpatine and lights her saber]

Emperor Palpatine: [to Rey] Let your death be the final word in the story of rebellion.

Emperor Palpatine: [as Rey is deflecting his Force lightning with her saber] You are nothing. A scavenger girl is no match for the power in me. I am all the Sith!
Rey: And I am all the Jedi.
[Rey uses Luke and Leia’s lightsabers to disintegrate Palpatine’s body, killing him]

Rey: [after Ben has used Force healing to resurrect Rey] Ben.
[the two embrace, kiss, then Ben dies, his body vanishing as it becomes one with the Force at the same time that Leia’s body vanishes]

Maz Kanata: [celebrating their victory, gives him a medal] Chewie. This is for you.

Tatooine Elder: [after Rey buries Luke and Leia’s lightsabers, then lights up her own lightsaber] There’s been no one for so long. Who are you?
Rey: I’m Rey.
Tatooine Elder: Rey who?
Rey: [then sees the spirits of Luke and Leia] Rey Skywalker.
[Rey and BB8 head off, then stop to watch the twin suns]
