This page is a collection of the wise Jedi quotes and sayings that make sense in “real life”.

I’ve come across a lot of them in the Star Wars books I’ve read and then there are ones heard the movies too.
If they seem unclear I’ll “translate” it since I realize that a lot of people aren’t into Star Wars.
