Cal Kestis Quotes

Latest quotes added:

Cal Kestis: After the Purge... I was alone for a... a long time. In hiding, I was... I was scared that they'd find out who I was or... What I was.

Merrin: What changed?

Cal Kestis: A very good friend of mine told me to go out and find my place in the galaxy.

Merrin: And you listened.

Cal Kestis: Well, no, but... Life has this funny way of forcing you on the path forward anyway. Now here I am. Where I least expected.

Merrin: A path forward.

Cal Kestis: Thank you for helping me with Malicos. Thought I was a goner for a minute.

Merrin: Yes, you would have died.

Cal Kestis: Right...

Merrin: I am glad you didn't. It is nice to have an ally.

Cal Kestis: Yeah, I like the sound of that.

Merrin: You're welcome, Cal.

Cal Kestis: I'm not interested in power. I want to restore the Order.

Taron Malicos: Restore the Jedi Order? Oh, you poor fool. It's over! Jedi fell long before the Purge. Stifled by tradition. Deafened by our past glories. Blinded by endless war.

Cal Kestis: Maybe. But it's never over, Malicos. We stand here now with a chance to learn. To rebuild from our mistakes.

Taron Malicos: Jedi learn? There's no future for them. How can you not see that? It's time for something new. You and me. We could build something different. Something better.

Cal Kestis: No.

Taron Malicos: Then Dathomir will be your grave.

Merrin: I was only a child when they attacked. An armored warrior brandishing this... Descended upon us... And cut down my people. My sisters. Until I was left alone. With the dead. Then Malicos came. And promised me revenge. If I shared our secrets with him in return.

BD-1: Whoo-whooooo.

Cal Kestis: I know what it's like to lose everything. And Malicos was wrong to use that against you. We don't have to be enemies.

(Merrin gives Cal back his lightsaber)

Merrin: You will need this.

(Merrin disappears...)

Cal Kestis: There she goes again.

BD-1: Boop woooo bop!

(Cal's vision)

Jaro Tapal: Is power the answer?

Cal Kestis: No. Master. I will never forget. The loss has become a part of me. I will honor your teaching. And your sacrifice.

Jaro Tapal: Remember. Persistence reveals the path.

Cere Junda: You did it.

Cal Kestis: We did. I wouldn't be here without all of you. I used to sit on Bracca dreaming about storming Coruscant with survivors from the Jedi Council. Instead, the Order's hopes rest on a gambler, a fallen Jedi, and a failed Padawan. A bunch of screw ups.

Greez Dritus: You can say that again!

Cal Kestis: BD's the only reliable one. He let Cordova wipe his memories so he could stay behind and guide us. But you're both willing to sacrifice everyhing; to keep going even when it seeems impossible.

Cere Junda: Failure's a part of the journey.

Cal Kestis: I get that now. Thank you. All of you.

Cal Kestis: Jedi can't pick any kyber crystal. It chooses you.

BD-1: Boo beep?

Cal Kestis: Yeah, kinda like you.

Cere Junda: Every Jedi faces the dark side. And it's very easy to fail.

Cal Kestis: You're still struggling with the dark side. Even after cutting yourself off from the Force.

Cere Junda: We will always struggle. But that is the test. It's the choice to keep fighting that makes us who we are.

(Cere gives Cal her lightsaber)

Cal Kestis: I guess it's about time I find out who I am.

Jaro Tapal: Cal. Cal. I overloaded the ships reactors. The explosion will mask our escape. This... war is not over, my Padawan. Hold the line. Wait for the Jedi Council's signal. (hand Cal his lightsaber) Remember... Trust only... In the Force.

Little Cal: Yes, Master.

(Awkward lunch at the ship... Greez is putting salt-like spice in his food, distracted by the dialogue he keeps at it for some time...)

Cere Junda: Cal, when I was captured by the Empire... I resisted. I swore to myself that I would die before I would talk. But then this... Dark shadow came. And he was worse than any... nightmare I could have imagined. And I still fought. But in the end I came apart. And I gave them Trilla. And I know there's nothing I can do to make that right. But Cal, there's still a chance we can save the others on the holocron.

Cal Kestis: Okay, look. The Ninth Sister said something about becoming an Inquisitor, like... Like it's inevitable. But you went through the same thing she did. And you didn't join them.

Cere Junda: Cal...

Cal Kestis: It's okay, Cere.

(BD notices what Greez's been doing the whole time and scans his food...)

Greez Dritus: Hey! Get your lasers off my lunch!

BD-1: Trill!

Jaro Tapal: Get up. Try again.

Little Cal: I just keep failing, Master!

Jaro Tapal: Do you? Good. Keep failing, keep getting back up. That is the only way to succeed. Don't allow yourself to be weighed down by ego and pretense. Let go of what you fear to lose and rise up.

Greez Dritus: Can we talk? I don't know what's going on between you and her. I mean, I figure it's some kind of Jedi thing. But I don't think this is the right time for it.

Cal Kestis: It's not aby of your business.

Greez Dritus: I think it's my business. We're all in this together, aren't we? Hey, Cal... I made a mistake... and I almost got you killed. I'm sorry. I mean, we all make mistakes. Right? (laughs nervously) Maybe not you. (Cal smirks) Hey, why don't you cut her some slack? I'm not saying, do it for me, but you two are the best thing that ever happened in my life. Before you came along, all I cared about was a tight hand on a stiff heater. That's a game term.

Cal Kestis: I know what it is.

Greez Dritus: Cal, life's not a game. Before you two, all I cared about was myself. Easy money. Now it's different.

Cal Kestis: I think we're getting close.

BD-1: Boo? Bee boo trill?

Cal Kestis: I noticed it earlier, this feeling in the pit of my stomach. At first I thought it was Greez's cooking.

BD-1 (laughs): Bee!

Cal Kestis: You, uh, know any jokes, BD?

BD-1: Be-beep! Boo bee trill beep boo?

Cal Kestis: I don't know. Why?

BD-1: Boo trill bee boop!

Cal Kestis: Ha! Classic.
