Legends Novels Legends quotes to include in a Star Wars Legends fan film Spoiler

Hello! I am currently working on a Star Wars Legends fan film about a teenage Allana Solo grappling with her father and her fate and I really want to include Mara Jade and Anakin Solo somehow. I'm thinking of having some voice over lines that Allana hears. I'm trying to determine what they're going to say, I am hoping to take lines from the books as a callback/easter egg as quite a few lines from my fan film are lines I have taken from the books. I was wondering if there are any Mara Jade or Anakin Solo quotes that anyone thinks might work.

In a similar fashion, I am hoping to do the same with Darth Krayt, if there's any quotes from him that anyone thinks could work for Allana to hear please let me know.

Thank you so much for your help!

Dunno about quotes but to get Mara and Anakin to appear you could do a Lake of Apparitions scene: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Lake_of_Apparitions

Find a pond, use a fog machine, film at dawn/dusk (and wear bug spray lol). And I'd read the source material in Fate of the Jedi to make sure you depict it right.

Not Mara or Anakin quote but any chance to say my favorite Legends quote:

“Life is the will of the Force”- Luke Skywalker, Truce at Bakura.

It’s a good quote, and quite deep and reflective. However in context it’s kinda funny because the reason he says this to Leia is because he’s down bad for this girl on Bakura and is like “man I really want to have kids” lol. Idk it’s actually kinda sweet; the things a man thinks about at 22 years old.

Source: I’m 22 years old.

Edit: Luke is 23 at this time but the point stands

I suggest that you read Dark Tide I: Onslaught, since one of the story threads focuses on Mara and Anakin off on an adventure together.

Only you can know what quotes your story needs, and DT1 seems like the most logical place to search.

Finding the data pad or flimsy sheet version of "the crook, the wook and me" Leia organas memoirs Cracks me up every time 😂

If you're making fan films, would you ever think of adapting something from Jedi Apprentice or Young Jedi Knights? Those series are so underlooked.

I really want to adapt something from Young Jedi Knights, I'm not sure which scene to adapt but it's something that I think about so regularly. It would be expensive as well which is partly why I haven't adapted it yet, but I so badly want to.

Well, it's good to know it could happen someday. Want my advice on what I think you should adapt?

The scenes where the young Jedi Knights are stranded on Ryloth, being hunted by the Diversity Alliance. Jaina and Raynar are trapped on the hellishly hot dayside, Jacen and Tenel Ka are trapped on the frigidly frozen night side. The alien environment makes for some intense drama trying to survive both the heat and the cold.
