Kylo Ren: I’ll show you the dark side.
Lor San Tekka: You may try. You may try, but you cannot deny the truth that is your family.
Poe: Why are you helping me?
Finn: Because it’s the right thing to do.
Finn: FN2187—that’s the only name I was given.
Poe: Huh? FN..I’m gonna call you Finn.
First Order leader about Finn: No prior issues of non-conformity?
Other First Order leader: This was his first offense.
Rey, about stealing a ship: That one’s garbage… [“good” ship gets shot up]… The garbage will do!
Rey: THIS is the Millennium Falcon? You’re Han Solo?
Han Solo: I used to be.
Finn: You are the Han Solo that fought with the Rebellion. You knew him!
Han Solo: Yeah, I knew him.
Rey: Is that even possible?
Han Solo: I never ask that question until after I’ve done it.
Supreme Leader Snoke: If Sky Walker returns, the new Jedi will rise.
Supreme Leader Snoke: Without their friends to protect them, the Resistance will be vulnerable.
Han Solo: One boy, an apprentice, turned against him. Luke felt responsible.
Han Solo: The crazy thing is, the force, the Jedi, all of it. It’s all true.
Han Solo: Listen, “Big Deal,” you got another problem. Women always figure out the truth. Always.
Han Solo: You’re gonna need this [weapon].
Rey: I can look after myself.
Han Solo: I know. That’s why I’m giving it to you.
Kylo Ren: Forgive me. I feel it again, the power of the light. Show me again the power of darkness. Show me again, Grandfather, and I will finish what you started.
Maz Kanata: I’ve seen evil take many forms: the Scythe, … The First Order… if you live long enough, you see the same eyes in different people. I see your eyes. I know your eyes.
Finn: I’m not Resistance. I’m not a hero. I’m a storm trooper, like all of them. I was taken from a family… On my first battle I made a promise I wasn’t going to kill for them.
Finn: You looked at me like no one ever has.
Maz Kanata: Whoever you’re waiting for isn’t coming back, but there’s someone who can. The belonging you seek is not behind you, it’s ahead of you. … Feel it. The light, it’s always been there. Let it guide you.
Han Solo: Leia.
Leia: Don’t do that.
Han Solo: Do what? Leia: Do…anything.
Han Solo: If Luke couldn’t reach him, how could I?
Leia: Luke is a Jedi.
Leia: Luke is a Jedi. You’re his father. There’s still light in Him. I know it.
Rey: You, you’re afraid…that you will never be as strong as Darth Vader.
Supreme Leader Snoke: The Scavenger resisted you!
Han Solo: How do we blow it up? There’s always a way to do that!
Han Solo: We’ll get you there.
Leia: Han, how?
Han Solo: If I told you, you wouldn’t like it.
Leia: You know, no matter how much we fought, I always hated watching you leave.
Han Solo: That’s why I did it. So you’d miss me.
Leia: If you see our son, bring him home.
Supreme Leader Snoke: She’s just beginning to test her powers. The longer it takes to approach her, the stronger she grows.
Han Solo to Chewy: Oh really, you’re cold?!
Han Solo: The longer we’re here, the less luck we’re gonna have.
Han Solo: Escape now. Hug later.
Han Solo: Ben!
Kylo Ren: You son is gone. He was weak and foolish like his father, so I destroyed him. It’s too late.
Han Solo: No it’s not. Leave here with me. Come home. We miss you.
Kylo Ren: I’m tired of being torn apart. I want to be free of this pain. I know what I have to do, but I don’t know if I have the strength to do it. Help me?
Han Solo: Yes. Anything.
Kyle Ren to Rey: You need a teacher. I could show you the ways of the force.
