One Path quotes

Okay, now I guess I'm just not going back to bed. *facepalm*

I've been thinking for a while about doing a set of One Path quote icons, but the problem is that every time I like sit down to do it, I can't think of quotes. I KNOW there are a ton of humorous and/or squee-worthy quotes in this fic. So, I have decided to compose a list of One Path quotes and leave it open to readers to comment upon and add their input/requests (or use to make their own quote icons if they want, since I know at least one person who reads One Path and makes the occassional icon from it.)

Below are quotes, listed in the order I thought them up because I'm too lazy to even attempt to alphabetize.


"Huh...?" (okay, not very One Path specific, but it cracks me up every time Luke or Han says it, not to mention when Padme did.)

"I'll talk to you when I get back to the ship...Your Highness," -Padme Amidala to Obi Wan Kenobi.

"I'll talk to you later, your Highness," -Obi Wan Kenobi to Padme Amidala

"Your hair's sticking up."
"Your hair ALWAYS sticks up." -Obi Wan Kenobi and Padme Amidala

"Thanks for the rescue."
"Always." -Padme Amidala and Obi Wan Kenobi (or vice versa)

"I've never had a friend like you." Padme Amidala to Obi Wan Kenobi.

"I love you. Always have. Since Tatooine." -Obi Wan Kenobi to Padme Amidala

"Obi Wan, what are you DOING?"
"Rescuing you...?" -Obi Wan Kenobi and Padme Amidala.

"Remember Tatooine." -Obi Wan Kenobi to Padme Amidala.

"I can't let you go. I don't want to." -Obi Wan Kenobi to Padme Amidala.

"The Force led me to you." -Obi Wan Kenobi to Padme Amidala.

"I had a dream that you married Anakin."
"You what?"-Obi Wan and Padme Kenobi on their honeymoon. *grin*

"What do your feelings tell you?" -Obi Wan Kenobi to Padme Amidala Kenobi

"What does your heart tell you?" various people...

"My feelings tell me that no matter what happens tomorrow, or next week, or next month or five years from now, you and I will be together. And as long as we are together, we have nothing to fear." -Obi Wan Kenobi to Padme Amidala Kenobi (and the prize goes to anyone who can get that on an icon legibly and attractively.)

"Like my father before me..." various people

"A fine Jedi shall you be, like your father." -Master Yoda to Anakin Kenobi.

"Shouldn't he have hair before you start planning the wedding?"
"Oh. Yes. Hair would be helpful." -Padme Amidala Kenobi and Obi Wan Kenobi.

"I'm not going to go down there later and tell Ani that I left you behind." -Anakin Skywalker to Obi Wan Kenobi.

"Uncle Anakin saved my life." -Anakin Kenobi (to Dexter Jettster and GOD KNOWS how many other people...)

"He's good at that ain't he? Saving Kenobi butts?" -Dexter Jettster to Anakin Kenobi.

"Call it the Skywalker Special." -Dexter Jettster.

"[Dex] picked Dad and Uncle Anakin up like they were my age!"
"Sometimes I think they are your age." -Anakin Kenobi and Padme Amidala Kenobi.

"Be mindful of your boats." -Obi Wan Kenobi to Anakin Kenobi.

"I love you, Uncle Anakin." -Anakin Kenobi to Anakin Skywalker *cries* *facepalm*

"Would everybody stop thankin' me?!" -Han Solo




And that would be all I can think of for the moment...

One day, I shall read One Path. Because I know Han is in there and I can't resist Han Solo. I just have to get over the whole 'NNOOOOO!!!" feeling I get with Obi/Padme first. Although, that being said, it's not a very loud no. That is reserved for George/Izzie on Grey's Anatomy. And I managed to watch that, so I'm sure I could very well handle Obi/Padme and actually like it:)

The ship works in One Path. It's not a love triangle and it's not taking the characters and making them into something retarded or out of character to get what we want. I didn't ship Obidala before at all and I don't read those kind of absurd fic. This relationship is not...ick. They begin as friends and that friendship is the core of the fic, even after a romance develops.

[identity profile] ladybeth.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, that's good. No love triangle is really good. I shall put One Path on my reading list. Well, its been there but now It's closer to the top.

The one pairing I got to liking in Star Wars that wasn't necessarily canon was Sabe/Obi-wan. All the rest for me are oddly strict to what happens in the movie/books. Odd because I tend to like odd and not-happening-if-the-author-has-anything-to-say-about-it ships. Like Draco/Ginny. And Carolyn/Cam. Which I suppose is still a canon ship because they intended to have it but they decided to go the road of the Landry/Carolyn relationship problem plot arc.

I'm rambling aren't I?

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Ramble away. Anyway, Obi's not a love triangle person. Anakin was his best friend. He wouldn't have done it. Neither would Padme. Both of them are simply too loyal and Obi is too honest to have ever done anything in secret. That was the point of One Path, really.

I know I'm the author and I am rather attached to the fic since I've put so much effort into creating it, but, seriously I love these characters as they are in canon and I wasn't going to destroy them to get them together. Obi-Wan just wouldn't have DONE what Anakin did...and he wouldn't have stolen his best friend's wife. I hate those fics, I really do. This is something else.

BTW, my SG-1 muse seems to be gone again, so sorry about the delay on the Cam/Carolyn end of things in Games.

[identity profile] ladybeth.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
No he's not. I did read one fanfic where they made Obi-wan the choosen one. It was kinda odd and dark.

I kinda feel sorry for Anakin. For all the power he had, he was neive enough and trusting enough not to notice that the Emperor was playing him like a puppet. Plus apparently the Jedi didn't have a good mental health insurance plan or something because Anakin probably could have used a psychatrist after AoTC.

My two favorite Star Wars Novels are Rebel Planet and Tattoine Ghost. Both go into Anakin's relationships with other characters. Rebel Planet I like because it shows how Anakin and Obi got to where they are in AoTC. And darn it if I can't find my copy. *mumbles*.

Obidala (which btw, I hate when people do that. I only use them because that ends up being what everyone reconises the pairings as and then somehow it ends up in my mind...like McWier.) tends to have the whole secret-love-affair thing which is probably why I hate. Obi-wan only kept information from Luke, and that's because Luke wasn't ready for the information and when he was, Obi-wan gave it to him. I can't see him keeping a secret like that from Anakin.

Oh, my muse in general has taken a vacation. She apparently right now wants me to write a Gilmore/Stargate Atlantis crossover where John Sheppard was a Gilmore or a Tremors fanfic where I write the movie from Rhonda's POV. SG-1...Forget it unless you want a half-formed scene where Adria and Kate Jackson get into a fight.

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
*sigh* Well, actually he also kept information about what the Jedi Council was trying to do from Anakin, at least in the RotS novelization, but it never sat well with him regardless of which person he was withholding information from. I don't know if Luke was necessarily ready so much as "needed" the truth in RotJ. Vader had already done the damage by burdening him with the information. Obi just confirmed it.

In any case, secret love affair is not what One Path is about. That is not the kind of secret he'd keep from anyone, especially Anakin, whom he loved and trusted as a son/brother. The fic also deals quite a bit with Anakin, his good and bad points, psychological problems, the way that Palpatine manipulated and used him, and the friendship he had with Obi so anyway yeah, I know what you're saying.

[identity profile] ladybeth.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
You know, the most secretive of the bunch is Yoda. He seems the one requesting the secrecy the most.

Oh, what do you think of Han having Force capabilities? I'm thinking of doing that with him in my one story. If I ever get to that point *glares at muse* I haven't touched it really in several years but I keep coming up with slight ideas although nothing that really kicks me into writing again. Maybe this will.

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
I think that whether Han is or isn't Force sensitive, he'd probably never trust himself enough to make a stable Jedi. You'd have to do an incredible amount of work on his temper and his inability to trust, especially if you want to get into what happens to him when Chewie dies. Han is a fantastic guy, and I love him, but Han plus the Force in any quantity is a volatile and dangerous mix.

[identity profile] ladybeth.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
I wasn't thinking of making him a Jedi. Just making him enough force sensitive to answer a few questions. I suppose its never actually stated that one needs the force to wield a lightsaber but the only ones I remember (Oh, I so need to dig out the tapes or spurge and get the DVDs) were Jedis or Siths and Han. And then there was Tattoine Ghost where he was able to ride a pod racing enabled bike. So he wouldn't be trained (I agree that he doesn't have the calm personality that a Jedi would require, but then Luke sometimes doesn't either).

Oh, I don't read the NJO stories. So No Chewie dying. Or Little Anakin. or Jacian becoming Darth Jr. I read summeries every once and awhile to get ideas on the characters used, but I never got into the series.

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
O.o sorry...Little Anakin to me is someone else. Momentary brain burp there. Anyway, the Force isn't required to use a lightsaber for something as simple as what Han does in ESB, but the gyroscopic action requires a tremendoes amount of physical strength and extremely fast reflexes to compensate for in a situation where you have to move the weapon a lot faster and use it for defense or attack. Greivous wasn't Force-sensitive but his reflexes were a lot faster than a human's and he was incredibly strong. (he uses lightsabers in CW cartoon and if I remember right, the RotS novel and Labyrinth of Evil, which I read for One Path) The Jedi and Sith use the Force to enhance their physical abilities in combat even when they aren't jumping or flipping all over the place.

The difference between Luke and Han is trust. Han doesn't trust the Force. He rarely trusts people, and he doesn't trust himself. Luke learned to trust the Force and himself, and generally speaking he was a pretty trusting fellow when it came to others. Jedi calm is largely a matter of discipline anyway.

I think what you're talking about could potentially work but you're going to have a hard time getting Han into any kind of a situation where he's going to accept the Force sensitivity thing, trained or not. Put in a situation where he has to rely on the Force consciously even a little, you're going to have issues. The man can't let go enough to do that. And as soon as anyone tells him, "Hey, Han, you've got Force powers," he's going to be one unhappy camper and probably bolt or something. That's my two cents on it, but it's just my opinion.

[identity profile] ladybeth.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
You know, if I had asked my mom or sister any of this they'd give me a look and tell me I'm overanalysing. You I can discuss things with and learn stuff:)

Hmm...Well, I know for certian that if Han ever figured out he had force-sensitivity he'd be irratated. I don't suppose there be a level where one would have the sensitivity but it wouldn't show in any way that would noticable say "Hey, The force is here!" Some unconcious thing that he relys on without knowing it, thinking perhaps it's just his intution.

This wouldn't go into the story for a long time. Right now I'm still in the Prequels and studying the clones. I need to get RoTS and the interm books still. I've only gotten the OS, PM, AoTC and one book which I'm not sure if I owned or if I took it out of the library and just don't remember that fact (if so, it would explain my lack of seeing it anywhere) where it was Obi-wan and Qui-gon before PM.

Ever read the Jedi Apprentice series?

[identity profile] so-out-of-ideas.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Well, y'know. My family thinks I'm pretty much nuts anyway, so whatever. lol.

Most untrained Force sensitives rely on the Force in that intuitive kind of way. Anakin knew things without knowing why before Qui-Gon showed up; his reflexes were faster than normal, but nobody knew it had anything to do with the Force, so yeah, I mean as long as nobody messes with his head and tells him what he's doing is related to the Force he'd be fine.

I don't like Jude Watson. So, the Jedi Apprentice books aren't my thing. I really don't read a lot of Star Wars and when I do it's either because it's related to One Path or it's a book that focuses on Luke, Leia, and Han or some combination of the three.

[identity profile] ladybeth.livejournal.com 2007-09-23 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
My family thinks I've got some kind of Obessive complusive disorder when comes to my fandoms, Stargate in particular.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. Well, the plan was that one of Han's parents would be a Jedi, someone at least partially trainned in the Jedi Arts. From all I have read so far in the Han Solo Trilogy and others Han never really had time with his parents so he'd never know if they were force sensitive or not. So he had it, but was unaware of it and since really Luke was the only real Jedi master there was no one to wonder if he did. Plus he'd be too old to train so whose to say they would tell him anyway.

I liked them, but I only read one or two so I'm not sure how he had the whole series. I've got a couple of the Post RoTJ books (including the one where Mara and Luke get engaged), but most of my books are Han or Obi-wan related. Or novelizations of the books. I have the trilogy in one volume and two of the prequels. I don't have any of the NJO because after hearing Chewie died and then Anakin Solo died I wasn't...well, pleased with the idea of reading that.

*Votes for the quote about Han being cranky. Notes you might want to look back at all the summary lines for the chapters for other really good quotes. Will have to think about any others and get back to you with suggestions*

Welcome! I also get the feeling that lots of things that Shmi's said will be appropriate for icon quotes . . .

[identity profile] lealynnkenobi.livejournal.com 2007-09-24 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure I can contribute, as well.

Give me a couple of days.... just got back into town. :D



[identity profile] lealynnkenobi.livejournal.com 2007-09-27 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Here's my small contribution. I didn't think about having the names with the quotes. I hope that's okay.

I didn't check for duplicates, either. All I know is that I could go on and on... with finding quotes that make me smile, cry....or squeeeee!



"Hold my hand. Don't let go." Or "Now, don't let go."

"I love you. Always have."

"What does your heart tell you?"

"Just wait, kid. This is nothing."

"We don't have an army, just a bunch of Kenobi people."

"The Sith will never see this coming. "

"We're doomed!"

"I am a Jedi and your mother is still my wife."

"Remember Tatooine."

"This is the Kenobi way."

"It's been an honor, Obi Wan. And a pleasure."

"You have been my dream."
