Face: Baljos, can't you fine-tune that sensor of yours to detect intelligent, unattached ladies between the ages of twenty and forty?
Baljos: If I could, do you think I'd still be working as a scientist?
Face: Good point.

Wes Janson: It's too soon to be using this leg, Hobbie! You just crawled out of a bacta tank! You shouldn't be going into battle!
Hobbie Klivian: The odds will be long enough, Wes, without an able-bodied pilot snoozing on a cot in sickbay!
Wes Janson: [Helping Hobbie put on his boots] You're a good pilot and a damn fool, Klivian. And what's more you need to launder your socks.

Wedge: Tycho, we're about to achieve a tremendous victory we don't want.
Tycho: We'll put that in your biography. General Antilles was so good he couldn't fail when he tried to.

Face Loran: Kiss for luck?
Mara Jade: I don't know whether to mark that down as 'exceptionally daring' or 'unusually stupid.'
Face Loran: [Turning to Luke] Kiss for luck?
Luke Skywalker: Get out of here.

Colonel Darklighter: General, none of the Rogues on patrol reported anything to me about sighting a Yuuzhan Vong scout.
General Antilles: Of course they did. Five or six hours ago. In orbit around Borleias.
Colonel Darklighter: Wait a minute. That was just one burned-out hulk of a coralskipper. One that we vaped when we arrived.
General Antilles: Correct. And a coralskipper can be used as a scout ship.
Colonel Darklighter: Sure.
General Antilles: And Rogue Squadron did report sighting it.
Colonel Darklighter: Sure... Sir, how you can be so deceptive without actually lying is beyond me.

Anakin Solo: I do respect you. But you flew with Rogue Squadron. Weren't you ever the least bit reckless?
Corran Horn: Yes, and one day, hopefully, you'll be able to understand something about what it cost me.

“Whistler, plot me an intercept point six klicks out from the Korolev.”
The R2 whistled blithely, as if that calculation was so simple even Corran should have been able to do it in his head.

Colonel Darklighter: No, sir. General, I saw that thing when they were growing it. I had to sit around while my information was all but ignored, and now we have something to deal with that we may not be able to stop at all. But Rogue Squadron will give it its best shot.
General Antilles: Volunteer only.
Colonel Darklighter: Of course. As if that will make a difference.

Wedge: Mind if I cut in?
Gavin: Wedge? You're sure you want to do this, what with your arthritis and all? How'd you slip your nurse?
Wedge: Told her I was going to take a steam bath.

Corran: You don't need to be here, Wedge. If anything happened to you, Iella and the kids would never forgive me.
Wedge: Oh, sure, and you think Mirax would forgive me if anything happened to you? You and me, just like that trench run on Borleias, 'cept this time you go first.
Corran: Didn't I get ordered out on that run?
Wedge: Yeah, you did. You going to pull rank on me here, Colonel?
Corran: You'd listen to that order as well as I did. And you're not feebleminded enough for some of the Jedi things to work. Okay, glad you're on my wing.

Corran Horn: Colonel Darklighter suggested that when we get back from Garqi, I should run a sim against you and see how good you are.
Jaina Solo: I'll disappoint you, Colonel. General Antilles and Colonel Celchu regularly vape me in exercises.
Corran Horn: Well, they still vape me. Perhaps we should sim against them, teach them old guys a lesson or two.
Jaina Solo: I'll look forward to that, sir.
