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, I’m concluding the series with the Republic version. The Imperial version can be found here.
Republic
Smuggler:
- “I wasn’t planning on living forever anyway. I’m in.”
- “I love killing morons like you.”
- “You’re about to see a real live hero in action.”
- “It’s kinda fun doing this galaxy-shaking stuff. Makes me all shivery.”
- “Did somebody order a hero?”
- “Is that your hairstyle, or did a womp rat die on your head?”
- “I’ll do it, on one condition – if I die, you have to build a statue in my honor. An expensive one.”
- “I became a starship captain so I wouldn’t have to do homework!”
- “I’m sorry, can you repeat that? I didn’t hear anything before pay.”
- “Dying wasn’t quite on my agenda today.”
- “If I get killed I’m gonna be so mad!”
- “I wanna be called… Crackerjack. Er… yeah, that sounded better in my head.”
- “I’ll be back before you can say Vrblthrs vibroblade.”
- “Is there a special “guilt” power in the Force? Jedi always make me feel like I’m talking to my mom.”
- [After both a Sith and Jedi try their mind tricks] “Stop waving your hands around. You both look ridiculous.”
Trooper:
- “You stab me in the back, I’ll shoot you in the face.”
- “Liberating is what I do best… next to blowing things up.”
- “Shut up and start over.”
- “Good thing I’m no Jedi.”
- [Trooper attempts to flirt with Elara]
Elara: “Lieutenant, flirting with me goes against regulation XX-00.”
Jorgan: “I think that’s a ‘No’, sir.”
Jedi Knight:
- “Look, I’m the hero, not you. Just stay out of my way.”
- “I’ll get their attention– even if I have to tell knock-knock jokes.”
- “That’s interesting. Usually I should be running away from all of the gunfire and explosions.”
- “Clearly, you’ve gone insane.”
- T7: “T7 + Jedi = Stop the unstoppable all the time!”
- T7: “T7 = campaign manager + speech writer!”
- T7: “T7 = part of Jedi Order // T7 = want a lightsaber upgrade.”
- Kira Carsen: “Dear Czerka, Please stop discovering ancient dark side monstrosities. Love, Kira.”
- Kira Carsen: “So what’s my job aboard this ship?”
JK: “Pick something.”
Kira Carsen: “Reprogram the ship to call me master? Done.”
Jedi Consular:
- “Don’t break your arm trying to pat yourself on the back…”
- “Wow, there’s useless… and then there’s you people.” [This one might be a general Republic line.]
- “Hush now, the grown-ups are trying to talk.”
- “We Jedi learn to bend so we cannot be broken.”
- [to Grand Moff Kilran] “Come meet me in person and I’ll make your face match!”
- JC: [Force Persuade] “We will forget that we were here.”
NPC: “I will forget that you were here… why am I talking to myself?”
And as a bonus, here’s a great line Republic characters get while running a particular Corellia daily quest:
- NPC: “I have not studied the Jedi clan in any detail, but I have heard your motto: May the floor be with you.”
