25. “Leia... when I said before that I didn't know your parents... Princess Leia Organa, you are wise, discerning, kindhearted. These are qualities that came from your mother.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Because I make observations, while you think with your lightsaber."

130. “D’you know, there are times when you and Bail Organa are uncannily alike.”

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Right. No, Anakin, she’s not my…”

147. “Forgive me for interrupting, Your Highness. I meant no disrespect.”
148. “Fortunately, Luke’s unwavering faith in his father’s innate goodness had proved to be a stronger force than the power of the dark side.”
149. “I am called a great swordsman because I invented a lethal style, but who is greater, the creator of a killing form - or the master of a classic form.”
