I’m sure that by now, we’ve all experienced lines from our characters that have made us laugh out loud and cheer them on, whether they’re punching bad guys, belittling good guys, or, well, just being charmingly clever and/or a goofball (often at the same time). I know I have. My Smuggler’s probably my favorite source of amusing one-liners, though I’ve seen some great lines from my Sith Warrior, Bounty Hunter, Trooper, and my friend’s Sith Inquisitor. There’s good material to be found in every class story. BioWare’s writing team did a pretty awesome job with most of the dialog, and created some memorable moments.
When SWTOR launched, I started a list of memorable character lines, and have been adding to that list ever since. I finally decided it was high time to share that list! I also couldn’t help but add to the list using some suggestions from fellow SWTOR players. Some of these may be slightly paraphrased, as a warning, so if you notice any glaring mistakes, drop me a line in the comments section. Oh, and if you have any additional suggestions for my ‘huge list o’ cool lines’, feel free to to chime in with them!
The full list is rather large, so I’m going to be cutting it into separate Republic/Empire versions. I’ve also included some choice lines from companions, too. They’re headed under the character class they journey around with. There may be slight spoilers, as a warning, but I try not to explain much backstory. This week, the Empire version’s up to bat:
Empire
Imperial Agent:
- “I love unexpected, interesting outcomes. Bit of a hobby of mine.”
- “While we’re making promises, I’ll try not to step on your corpse.”
- “I’m always up for something crazy.”
- “I like killing cultists. Makes me feel like I’m tidying up the galaxy.” [This one's actually an Imperial line.]
- “You’re not going to cry are you?”
- “I like assassinating assassins. They always look so surprised.” [This one's actually an Imperial line, but it's here since it fits the Agent so well.]
- Kaliyo: “Hey! I’ll let you lick my boots for twenty credits!” [To Agent] “He’ll do it, too. Spot me twenty credits?”
Sith Warrior:
- “Now you’ll see what a Sith is capable of.”
- “There won’t be a heart left beating.”
- “You’re made of bones that break and blood that spills”
- “Tell it to someone who gives a damn!”
- “I’m here. Let the war begin.”
- “Your name– now!”
- “I don’t appreciate dramatic pauses.”
- SW: “I feel your anger, master.”
Darth Baras: “A blind, deaf, comatose lobotomy patient could feel my anger!” - SW: “You and me, taking down the galaxy. What do you think?”
Vette: “What? Uh, sure. Me and my buddy, the Sith. No one’s going to pick on me at school.” - [To Lord Baras who's interrogating a prisoner rather loudly] “What a fine pair of lungs you’ve got there.”
- “Do I have to ignite my lightsaber to get your attention?”
- Vette: “All right, back to Sith business. Grr!”
Bounty Hunter:
- “Head on floor. Got it.”
- “I think it’s blasting time.”
- “I have to admit, I love this job.”
- “Where’s the fun in that? I want to hear you beg.”
- “Credits always make my galaxy a better place.”
- “Hope you don’t mind if I shoot you now.”
- “If I die, bury my credits with me.”
- “I might have negotiated with his face a little.”
- “That’s the spirit. If at first you don’t succeed… Reload.”
- Jedi NPC: *waves hand* “You will lay down your weapons and surrender.”
BH: “So… Has that actually worked on anyone?”
Jedi NPC: *waves hand again* “You will lay down your weapons and surrender…”
BH: *waves hand* “You… will realize you’re an idiot.” - Gault: “I’ll be signing autographs after the smoke clears.”
Sith Inquisitor:
- “Is that fear I smell?”
- “On Korriban, we had little parties every time a fellow student died.”
- “Sorry, I get a little carried away sometimes.”
- “How dare you torture someone without me?”
- “Maybe I’m a colicoid.”
- “Killing you will be such fun!”
- “If you think this is bad, you should meet my other personality…”
- [To Darth Zash] “You make a Rodian look kissable…”
- SI: “I’m quite certain I didn’t say, ‘Please, expendable worm, tell me your life story.’”
Solider: “Apologies, my lord.” - SI: “That was just a dream. There were all these different relics, and each one produced a different flavor of ice cream!”
Talos: *sounding jealous* “All my dreams tend to involve flesh eating Jawas and Hutts in bikinis.”
