The best works of art stick with audiences and leave them thinking critically about what they experienced. For better or worse, The Last Jedi succeeds in this regard, as Star Wars fans continue to think about and debate its content years after its release.

The film provides a rich variety of quotes that are often at the source of fans’ debates. Many of these quotes capture the essence of essential themes and character development that are relevant not only to The Last Jedi, but to all storytelling in a galaxy far, far away. Luke Skywalker provides many of the movie’s most intriguing and important quotes, but there are gems that come from the mouths of other characters as well.

10 “This Is Not Going To Go The Way You Think.”

This line about checking one’s expectations works for both the characters and the fans. The Last Jedi requires both the characters and fans to not make assumptions.

The film is most rewarding when it defies the expectations of the characters and the fans, and as a result becomes far more thought-provoking and powerful than anyone could have anticipated.

9 “You’re Just A Child In A Mask.”

Snoke views Kylo Ren with the same kind of mockery and disdain that many fans did. It’s fascinating to see Snoke voice this and tragic to see Kylo Ren feel demeaned by another supposed mentor and authority figure in his life.

The Last Jedi takes the characters to their breaking points. In this case, it causes Kylo to tremble and lash out as he destroys the mask he once cherished. He’s determined to prove to himself and to Snoke that he’s more than a child in a mask pretending to be Darth Vader, even if it means killing Snoke.

8 “Let The Past Die. Kill It If You Have To.”

The sequel trilogy is heavily influenced by the original trilogy, often struggling to find its balance between the new and the old. The same struggle exists for characters like Kylo Ren and Rey, who struggle to reconcile with their past and struggle to reshape their identities as they move forward.

Kylo’s solution is to utterly destroy the past in order to move forward. It’s a thought-provoking premise and a memorable line, although the film ultimately proves that Kylo’s perspective on this matter is too simplistic and lacks the nuance needed to create true progress.

7 “We Have Everything We Need.”

Part of what makes Star Wars so uplifting and timeless is the way it tells the story of underdogs who fight for what is right, even when evil forces are so much stronger than them. The Resistance is decimated by the end of The Last Jedi, with their forces mostly reduced to the small group aboard the Millennium Falcon.

Despite this, Leia is wise enough to know they have everything they need to rebuild. From veterans like Leia and Chewbacca to younger individuals like Rey and Finn, the Resistance has wise and resilient leaders that can rebuild their forces, take advantage of the spark created by Luke’s last stand, and bring peace and justice back to the galaxy. Like the broken lightsaber in Rey’s hands, they have the pieces they need, and now it’s just a matter of putting those pieces together.

6 “They Were Nobody.”

After two years of endless and sometimes wild theories about Rey’s parentage, The Last Jedi gives the simplest and most devastating answer possible. Even though The Rise of Skywalker tries to retcon the meaning of her parents being “nobodies,” the moment in The Last Jedi is still effective.

When Rey says these words, they’re filled with despair and emptiness. She yearns for meaning in her identity and her parentage, and yet it appears there is none. Regardless of the changes made to Rey’s backstory, The Rise of Skywalker cannot nullify the raw emotion in this line.

5 “Strike Me Down In Anger And I’ll Always Be With You. Just Like Your Father.”

When Luke confronts his nephew via Force projection, he has many powerful things to say, with this being one of the most memorable lines. Kylo Ren can kill anyone he wants, but that won’t fix his pain and inner anguish.

He killed his father Han Solo, and instead of it helping him embrace the dark side, the deed haunted him and only created more pain and conflict. Killing his family and his enemies will not heal him from his trauma or make him more powerful.

4 “Blow That Piece Of Junk Out Of The Sky!”

It’s humorous to see Kylo Ren so enraged by the appearance of the Millennium Falcon, to see how this one ship can upset him so deeply despite his immense power and the extensive resources at his disposal.

His explosive reaction is also telling, as the Millennium Falcon is a representation of everything that Kylo and the First Order fear and resent. The ship is a symbol of rebellion, freedom, and defying the odds. It represents the past that Kylo despises and the identity he wishes to crush. He’s killed his father Han Solo and Supreme Leader Snoke. He’s now Supreme Leader of the First Order, and despite all that power, “that piece of junk” continues to taunt and defy him.

3 “The Greatest Teacher, Failure Is.”

The Last Jedi provides the return of the wise and quirky Yoda that fans first fell in love with so many years ago. Force ghost Yoda has many pearls of wisdom to bestow upon Luke, the best being his line about failure.

Yoda recognizes the power of failure and that it is the only way that people ever learn and grow to be better. Instead of continuing to despair over his failures, Luke must learn from his mistakes to become a wiser Jedi and teacher. The Last Jedi shows that everyone–even heroes–fail sometimes. What matters is how someone chooses to grow and learn from their failure.

2 “That’s How We’re Gonna Win. Not Fighting What We Hate, Saving What We Love.”

Some fans take issue with this quote, yet it embodies a key theme of the entire Skywalker saga. What separates the light and the dark side is the reason why they fight and how they choose to fight. This is the culmination of Luke and Darth Vader’s arcs in Return of the Jedi, as they don’t fight out of hatred, but instead make sacrifices to save each other out of love.

The same is true in Star Wars Rebels, where Yoda says, “How Jedi choose to win, the question is,” which Kanan and Ezra take to heart, as their ultimate sacrifices are about saving the ones they love instead of fighting out of their hatred for the Empire. From Rose saving Finn’s life, to Luke’s Force projection, The Last Jedi also emphasizes this important and reoccurring theme across all of Star Wars.

1 “Amazing. Every Word Of What You Just Said Was Wrong. The Rebellion Is Reborn Today. The War Is Just Beginning. And I Will Not Be The Last Jedi.”

This is the best line in the film. Luke is not only calling out his nephew for being wrong, but he’s also acknowledging his failures and how he’s grown as a result.

Luke’s failures do not justify surrender and hopelessness. They offer wisdom and hope on how to rekindle the fight for justice, right his wrongs, and to make the Jedi of the future wiser.
