10 Jedi Quotes That Make Us One With the Force | ScreenRant
The Jedi are a group of characters in the Star-Wars universe that magnificently blends the mystical and magical elements of the fantasy genre with the mysterious and mesmerizing scale of an epic space opera. Part monk, part warrior, all powerful, the Jedi have been the face of the series from as early as A New Hope.
It takes more than a lightsaber and some mind tricks to be one with the Force. A dedication to study and a keen sense of wit are also valuable assets for a Jedi to possess. From Anakin Skywalker to Master Yoda, the Jedi Order have no shortage of wisdom to make fans all feel one with the force.
10 “For My Ally is the Force, and a Powerful Ally It Is.” - Yoda
Right out of the gate, Master Yoda graces fans with this pearl of wisdom from his green, wrinkly head. According to the Star Wars universe, the Force is the element that binds all living things. One might even go as far as saying that this is a metaphor for the divine. If that be the case, then this is one of the best quotes for when one needs a slice of calming council.
9 “I Am One With the Force; the Force is With Me.” - Chirrut
Chirrut might not be verbally called a Jedi Master, but how can one not look at him and think otherwise? He may lack the traditional lightsaber, but his force sensitivity is definitely off the charts.
Blind he might be, but strong is his bond with the Force. There's a reason for his guardian mantra, because not only is it one hundred percent true but his belief in the Force is what keeps him alive.
8 “I am a Jedi, Like My Father Before Me.” - Luke Skywalker
On paper, this quote might not seem like a spring from the fount of wisdom like so many others on the list. However, if looked at from a contextual point of view, it's quite remarkable. The father and son relationship between Luke and Vader was always a pivotal subject in the original series, but this quote reminds viewers that Luke saw the good in his father all along.
7 “The Force is Not a Power…” - Luke Skywalker
Speaking of Luke, his return in The Last Jedi gave viewers old and new alike new insight on the power of the force.
And despite all the Jedi teachings fans think they know, the Force isn't something that can be harnessed or contained, but something that drives and runs through all the galaxy. It's something that needs to be shared and understood, not dominated.
6 “Only a Sith Deals in Absolutes.” Obi-Wan Kenobi
This ironic little nugget of wisdom from Obi-Wan Kenobi isn't just contradictory, it's ironic. Not only that, but this has become one of the most discussed quotes in the prequels. It's an absolute statement, but there is a difference between dealing in absolutes and believing in them. He should say "Only a Sith deals in false dichotomies." Absolute good or absolute evil, there's more to this quote than many think.
5 “I Need Someone to Show Me My Place in All This.” - Rey
It's ok, Rey. Everyone's been there. Impressive, though not a Jedi yet. Rey's plea to Luke Skywalker is something all viewers can relate to. Who hasn't felt lost at some point in the great scheme and scale of the universe?
A little guidance and a whole lot of faith can certainly go a long way.
4 “Your Ability To Speak Does Not Make You Intelligent. “ - Qui-Gon Jinn
Not only is this quote wise, profound, and essential advice for life, but it's also perhaps the sickest burn since Owen and Beru. Jar Jar might not be the most beloved of the Star Wars cast members, but Qui-Gon isn't afraid to say what most people are thinking already. There's a reason he's practically the Jedi poster boy.
3 “The Ability to Destroy a Planet is Insignificant Next to the Power of the Force.” Darth Vader
Vader might not be a Jedi anymore, but his dedication to the Force rivals even the most seasoned Jedi Masters.
This line from Episode IV not only serves to tease at Vader's power with the Force but the fact that he holds it in esteemed reverence. Sorcerer's ways they might be, but the Dark Lord of the Sith speaks the truth.
2 “Fear Leads to Anger, Anger Leads to Hate, and Hate Leads to Suffering.” Yoda
Once again, Master Yoda seems to be the Jedi who has everything all figured out, and no quote does that concept seem truer than this warning to a young Anakin Skywalker. Wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and in this case, the Dark Side. Should anyone, Jedi or not, be driven by emotion and no reason, they become one cybersuit away from Sith Lord territory.
1 “May the Force Be With You.” - Various
Want to make friends with a Star Wars fan? Offer them this simple greeting and smiles will follow. A phrase said by almost every main character in the entire franchise, this is more than a standard "good luck" catchphrase. It's almost like a blessing in a way, as if the parties involved are imparting a piece of the Force to one another. What phrase in all the galaxy could be better?
