Kids from every generation since the 70s grew up with the Star Wars franchise. From the original three movies to the less successful prequel trilogy of the early 2000s and the anthology films being produced as we speak, there is no question that the movies are an indelible part of the cultural imagination. See how many of the following quotes you recognise.
Yoda Quotes
For Star Wars fans, this small, green, funny-looking character with huge ears is the ultimate guru figure. You may not agree, but don’t let his appearance deceive you. Yoda is a fount of wisdom as these quotes demonstrate.
Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.
Through the Force, things you will see. Other places. The future…the past. Old friends long gone.
Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealously. The shadow of greed, that is.
Always pass on what you have learned.
You will know (the good from the bad) when you are calm, at peace. Passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.
PATIENCE YOU MUST HAVE my young padawan.
Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away… to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless.
You must unlearn what you have learned.
Always two there are, no more, no less. A master and an apprentice.
Many of the truths that we cling to depend on our point of view.
When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not.
Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.
That is why you fail.
Adventure. Excitement. A Jedi craves not these things.”
Judge me by my size, do you?
Wars not make one great.
Luminous beings are we…not this crude matter.
Do. Or do not. There is no try.
Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger…anger leads to hate…hate leads to suffering.
A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.
Star Wars Quotes About The Dark Side
Also called the Bogan or Boga, the dark side is an aspect of the Force. Its practitioners get their power from negative emotions like anger, fear and hatred. Reading these quotes in isolation shows us just how relevant the series is to our own lives.
Yes, a Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan’s apprentice.
Powerful you have become, the dark side I sense in you.
If you end your training now — if you choose the quick and easy path as Vader did — you will become an agent of evil.
Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.
In a dark place we find ourselves, and a little more knowledge lights our way.
When you look at the dark side, careful you must be. For the dark side looks back.
The fear of loss is a path to the Dark Side.
The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see the future is.
The Dark Side of the Force is the pathway to many abilities some consider to be… Unnatural.
A Jedi’s strenght flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side.
Strike me down with all your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete.
You don’t know the power of the dark side.
It’s true. All of it. The Dark Side, the Jedi. They’re real.
To be Jedi is to face the truth, and choose. Give off light, or darkness, Padawan. Be a candle, or the night.
The Force is neither light nor dark, master nor slave, but a balance between extremes.
Give yourself to the Dark Side. It is the only way you can save your friends. Yes, your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for … sister. So, you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her, too. Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete. If you will not turn to the Dark Side … then perhaps she will!
To answer power with power, the Jedi way this is not. In this war, a danger there is, of losing who we are.
Ah, strong am I with the Force, but not that strong. Twilight is upon me, and soon, night must fall. That is the way of things. The way of the Force.
The Force will be with you … always.
May the Force be with you.
