- "Perhaps you would like to learn something before you die. The use of two blades, one to support the other, can be traced back thousands of years and was common to both of our species. The invention of lightsabers has done nothing to lessen the effectiveness of this strategy—as you are about to learn!"
- ― Boc Aseca to Kyle Katarn (Star Wars Legends)
- "I am the demise who comes from the distant summit, the one who splits earth and sky with two blades."
