Best Quotes
[opening crawl] “The dead speak! The galaxy has heard a mysterious broadcast, a threat of revenge in the sinister voice of the late Emperor Palpatine. General Leia Organa dispatches secret agents to gather intelligence, while Rey, the last hope of the Jedi, trains for battle against the diabolical Frist Order. Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren rages in search of the phantom Emperor, determined to destroy any threat to his power.”
Emperor Palpatine: [as Kylo discovers Palpatine] At last. Snoke trained you well.
Kylo Ren: I killed Snoke. I’ll kill you.
Emperor Palpatine: [his voice changes from Palpatine, to Snoke, Darth Vader] My boy, I made Snoke. I have been every voice, you have ever heard, inside your head.
Emperor Palpatine: [moviequotesandmore.com] The First Oder was just the beginning. I will give you so much more.
Kylo Ren: You’ll die first.
Emperor Palpatine: I have died before. The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
Kylo Ren: What could you give me?
Emperor Palpatine: Everything. A new empire.
Emperor Palpatine: The might of the Final Order will soon be ready. It will be yours if you do as I ask. Kill the girl. End the Jedi. And become what your grandfather, Vader, could not. You will rule all the galaxies as the new emperor. But beware, she is not who you think she is.
Kylo Ren: Who is she?
[Palpatine smiles]
Rey: [practicing using the Force with Leia training her] Be with me. Be with me. Be with me.
Rey: [opens her eyes] They’re not with me.
Leia Organa: Rey, be patient.
Rey: I’m starting to think it’s impossible to hear the voices of the Jedi who came before.
Leia Organa: Nothing is impossible.
Rey: Nothing is impossible. I’m going to run the training course.
Rey: [moviequotesandmore.com] I didn’t finish the training course. I got distracted. I’m just not feeling myself. I know it looks like I’m making excuses.
Leia Organa: Don’t tell me what things look like. Tell me what they are.
Rey: I think I’m just tired, that’s all.
Rey: [hands back Luke’s lightsaber to Leia] I will earn your brother’s saber, one day.
Rey: [BB8 beeps a reply] No, you can’t do it for me.
Leia Organa: Never underestimate a droid.
Rey: Yes, master.
Poe Dameron: Really could have used your help out there.
Rey: How did it go?
Poe Dameron: Really bad actually. Really bad.
Rey: Han’s ship!
Poe Dameron: [referring to BB8] What did you do to the droid?
Rey: What did you do the Falcon?
Poe Dameron: The Falcon’s in a lot better shape than he is!
Rey: BB8 is not on fire.
Poe Dameron: What’s left of him isn’t on fire.
Rey: Tell me what happened?
Poe Dameron: You tell me first.
Rey: You know what you are?
Poe Dameron: What?
Rey: You’re difficult. Really difficult.
Poe Dameron: You…
Rey: You’re a difficult man.
Poe Dameron: You’re a…
Finn: Rey!
Rey: Finn.
Rey: So, Bad mood?
Finn: Me?
Rey: [points to Poe] Him.
Finn: Always.
Poe Dameron: [moviequotesandmore.com] We’ve decoded the intel from the First Order spy, and it confirms the worst. Somehow Palpatine returned.
Poe Dameron: [referring to Palpatine] He’s been planning his revenge. His followers have been building something for years. The largest fleet the galaxy has ever known. He calls it the Final Order. In sixteen hours, attacks on all free worlds begin. The Emperor and his fleet have been hiding in the unknown regions, on a world called Exegol.
C-3PO: Exegol does not appear on any star chart. But legend describe it as a hidden world of the Sith.
Poe Dameron: So Palpatine’s been out there all the time, pulling the strings.
Leia Organa: Always, in the shadows from the very beginning.
Maz Kanata: If we want to stop him, we must find him. We must find Exegol.
Rey: I know how to get to Exegol.
Leia Organa: Tell me.
Rey: [referring to Luke’s notes] Luke searched for it, for a long time. He nearly found it. There are cyphers here I can’t read. But he said to get there, you need one of these. A Sith wayfinder. They’re compasses that lead the way to Exegol, to stop what we both know is coming. I need to finish what Luke started. Find Exegol. Find the Emperor.
Leia Organa: No.
Rey: I don’t want to go without your blessing, but I will. I will. It’s what you would do.
Poe Dameron: [after Rey’s told them she’s going to look for Exegol] We’re going with you. Chewie, did you get that compressor fixed?
Rey: I need to go alone.
Finn: Yeah, alone with friends.
Rey: It’s too dangerous, Finn.
Finn: We go together.
C-3PO: [Chewie roars and BB8 beeps] I wholeheartedly agree.
C-3PO: [as he’s setting off to go off with Rey, Finn, and Poe] In the event that I do not return, I want you to know that you have been a real friend R2. My best one.
Rey: [moviequotesandmore.com] There’s so much I want to tell you.
Leia Organa: [gives Rey Luke’s lightsaber and embraces her affectionately Tell me when you get back. Rey, never be afraid of who you are.
Kylo Ren: The First Order is about to become a true empire. I sense unease about my appearance, General Hux.
General Hux: About the mask? No, sir. Well done.
C-3PO: [translating for the female alien they’ve encountered] She is saying, “Welcome.” Her name is Nyambee Geema.
Rey: That’s an excellent name. I’m Rey.
C-3PO: She will be honored to know your family name too.
Rey: I don’t have one. I’m just Rey.
Kylo Ren: [reaches Rey through their force bond] Palpatine wants you dead.
Rey: Serving another master?
Kylo Ren: No. I have other plans. I offered you my hand once. You wanted to take it. Why didn’t you?
Rey: You could have killed me. Why didn’t you?
Kylo Ren: [moviequotesandmore.com] You can’t hide, Rey. Not from me.
Rey: I see through the cracks in your mask. You’re haunted. You can’t stop seeing what you did to your father.
Kylo Ren: Do you still count the days since your parents left? Such pain in you, such anger.
Kylo Ren: I don’t want to have to kill you. I’m going to find you, and I’m going to turn you to the dark side, by offering you my hand again. You’ll take it.
Rey: We’ll see.
[Kylo suddenly reaches out and grabs the necklace Nyambee gave her]
Finn: [after a masked man helps them to escape from a Stormtrooper] How did you find us?
Lando Calrissian: [takes off his mask to reveal himself] Wookies standout in a crowd.
Lando Calrissian: I got a bad feeling about this.
Rey: [moviequotesandmore.com] Leia needs pilots, General.
Lando Calrissian: My flying days are long gone. But do me a favor. Give Leia my love.
Rey: You should give it to her yourself. Thank you.
Stormtrooper: [over radio comm] We spotted the fugitives.
C-3PO: [as Stormtroopers are also using jetpacks to fly] Oh, they fly now!
Finn: They fly now?
Poe Dameron: They fly now!
Finn: [as they are sinking in through the sand] Wait, Rey! Wait, I never told you, Rey…
Rey: What? Finn?
[they all sink]
Trailer:
Critics judge the story line as implausible and focused on minutiae that that has nothing to do with propelling the story along. They care less about the other elements that work: Finn, Poe and Rey’s chemistry and humorous interactions, especially Poe’s. It was a nice full circle from Palpatine’s Midi-chlorian manipulation to the Jedi Midi-chlorian force power (nerdy much?) in the prequels. Some tropes were annoying, the usual ones where last minute backup arrives for the good guys, but Finn and a ‘calvary’ disabling the ship was original. Some aspects could have been even pulled without hurting the story. Wish Abrams wasn’t so attached to unanswered questions, but overall, it was a really sweet, moving and satisfying movie.
ITS ORANGE NOT YELLOW!!! Holy crap why does nobody see this. Its obviously orange. Compare her saber to the orange and yellow saber colors in fallen order. Even in the clone wars the yellow saber is obviously yellow. And if it isnt yellow or orange its at least golden.
I also liked the comment from Zori (Poe’s former friend) when they are discussing the coded msg that was inside C-3PO (Sith language) and she asks him – Who were you hanging around with that speaks “Sith”??? LOL…would love to have heard Poe’s response…or the truth (assumed) explained as they do guard duty while C-3PO’s memory is revealed….
My favorite quote, and it is the core of Star Wars…
Poe Dameron: They will. First Order wins by making us think we’re alone. We’re not alone. Good people will fight if we lead them.
Where is the quote, something like, ‘evil will have you believe you are alone’.
I heard it twice in the movie, the second time was Poe reiterating it.
Please add and make reference to where it was… til I can get to see the movie a second time.
It was fabulous and J.J. Abrams did a great job in bringing the feelings
of the magic that Star Wars has brought to a vast audience around the
world. Good directing, stage and art setting with the flow of the music and
sound. great acting and Adam Driver and Daisy Ripley deserve an
honorable mention. To make this movie better, Anakin and Ben should have been added in the scene with Luke and Lea at the end..
Good job Mr Abrams.

“Something’s are thicker than blood”
Never be afraid of who you are.
People keep telling me they know me- I’m afraid no one does.
This movie really crapped on the skywalker legacy Ben gets thrown down a shaft and had no part in fighting palps! Anakin does not appear at all in This movie as a force ghosts to help defeat palps we just get voices and Rey does it all alone many people are disappointed in the ending big time it could have been executed way better! The ending was BAD! Where the heck did Ben go he got shafted in this movie.
Love this movie as it had some memorable quotes including the one you shared about “good people will fight if we lead them”. This can apply in our own lives if we (leaders) “rise” up and “not ” stay quiet when “we” are getting “oppressed”.
The Rise of Skywalker was brilliant from beginning to end! After the disappointment of Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi, my son and I were pleasantly surprised. JJ Abrams took everything we love about episodes 1-7 and wrapped them up in a beautiful bow. Superb storylines, emotional content, humor, surprises, action and great acting. A real feel-good movie. This just might be my favorite Star Wars movie ever!
What about: “Never underestimate a Droid”?
Yes there were so many lines – “Never under estimate a Droid” (twice- first by Leia, then by Rey…LOL).
