“A pair of starfighters. Jedi starfighters. Only two.
Two is enough.
Two is enough because the adults are wrong, and their younglings are right.
Though this is the end of the age of heroes, it has saved its best for last.”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

“So this is how liberty dies," she was saying to herself. "With cheering, and applause.”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

“This was not Sith against Jedi. This was not light against dark or good against evil; it had nothing to do with duty or philosophy, religion or morals.
It was Anakin against Obi-Wan.
Personally.
Just the two of them and the damage they had done to each other”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Star Wars, Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

“Contemplation of death brought only one slight sting of regret, and more than a bit of puzzlement. Until this very moment, he had never realized he’d always expected, for no discernible reason— That when he died, Anakin would be with him.”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

“And he knew that to strike Anakin down would burn his own heart to ash”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Star Wars, Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

“The man he faced was everything Obi-Wan had devoted his life to destroying: Murderer. Traitor. Fallen Jedi. Lord of the Sith. NAd here, and now, despite it all...
Obi-Wan still loved him”
― Matthew Stover, Star Wars™ - Episode III - Die Rache der Sith: Roman nach dem Drehbuch und der Geschichte von George Lucas

“I think," Obi-Wan said carefully, "that abstractions like peace don't mean much to him. He's loyal to people, not to principles. And he expects loyalty in return. He will stop at nothing to save me, for example, because he thinks I would do the same for him."
Mace and Yoda gazed at him steadily, and Obi-Wan had to lower his head.
"Because," he admitted reluctantly, "he knows I would do the same for him.”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

“In the end, you cannot touch the shadow.
In the end, you do not even want to.
In the end, the shadow is all you have left.
Because the shadow understands you, the shadow forgives you, the shadow gathers you unto itself -
And within your furnace heart, you burn in your own flame.
This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker.
Forever...”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Star Wars, Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

“In every exchange, Obi-Wan gave ground. It was his way.”
― Matthew Stover, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

“Obi-Wan, staring, wished that he had the strength to rip his eyes out of his head.
But even blind, he would see this forever.
He would see his friend, his student, his brother, turn and kneel in front of a black-cloaked Lord of the Sith.
His head rang with a silent scream.”
― Matthew Woodring Stover, Star Wars, Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
