- Beruss: "It seems Councilor Fey'lya is merely suggesting you fight fire with fire."
- Ackbar: "I do not like fire analogies. As we say on Mon Calamari, Frolic in the surf and get drowned by the undertow."
- ―Admiral Gial Ackbar, discussing tactics in how to take Coruscant[src]
- Ackbar: "Let me see if I've understood you correctly, Lieutenant. General Solo – posing as a stormtrooper – boarded an Imperial Star Destroyer, marched you and your group to the bridge and assumed command?"
- Page: "No, sir. General Solo was wearing an Imperial general's uniform, not stormtrooper armor."
- Mon Mothma: "A general. Naturally."
- Han: "Hey, it fit, that's all!"
- ―Admiral Gial Ackbar, Judder Page, Mon Mothma and Han Solo, at a meeting following Solo and Page's capture of the Accuser[src]
- Wedge: "It's been eight or nine years now that I've been fighting against the Empire. There were times I didn't think I was going to live another moment. I don't think I ever let myself dream I might survive this long, to see this sort of victory. This was always a goal, but now that it's here…I never really dared let myself look beyond the next battle, and now, it seems, there might truly be an end to the warfare. I don't know what I'll do with myself."
- Ackbar: "Said like a man contemplating retirement."
- Wedge: "Retirement? I'm not even thirty."
- Ackbar: "Warfare is an occupation from which one can never retire too young, Commander."
- ―Wedge Antilles and Gial Ackbar[src]
- Recruiting Major: "Admiral – there have to be standards—"
- Ackbar: "Major, ask yourself how many of the everyday heroes of the Rebellion – not just the names everyone knows – would have qualified to fight for their freedom under your rules, and then ask yourself if that answer doesn't make you look just a bit like a dewback's cloaca."
- ―Admiral Gial Ackbar reprimands a recruiting major on his recruitment rules[src]
"Unthinking obedience means a lack of flexibility. To fight to the death, and never to surrender, is to deny oneself useful alternatives. Together, we can use these Yuuzhan Vong traits to draw the enemy into a trap from which he will never escape."
―Gial Ackbar, planning a trap for the Yuuzhan Vong
―Gial Ackbar, planning a trap for the Yuuzhan Vong
- Ackbar: "Withdraw the B-wing fighters, all of them. Send them to fight the Star Destroyers. Leave the shipyards entirely undefended."
- Leia: "Is that wise, Admiral?"
- Ackbar: "No, it is a trap."
- ―Gial Ackbar and Princess Leia, during the Battle of Calamari[src]
- Ackbar: "All craft, prepare to retreat."
- Lando: "We won't get another chance at this, Admiral."
- Ackbar: "We have no choice, General Calrissian! Our cruisers can't repel firepower of that magnitude!"
- Lando: "Han will have that shield down. We've got to give him more time!"
- ―Admiral Gial Ackbar and General Lando Calrissian, after witnessing the Liberty's destruction by the Death Star II's superlaser at the Battle of Endor[src]
- Ackbar: "General Solo, I think you should come, too."
- Han Solo: "What is this, divide and conquer?"
- Ackbar: "Please. This involves you as well."
- Han Solo: "Let me find my pants. Leia, tell me again why we gave the fishhead a key to the front door."
- ―Gial Ackbar and Han Solo[src]
"Daala has two types of troops: The ones she's training now, and the ones she's killed already."
―New Republic Admiral Gial Ackbar on Imperial Admiral Natasi Daala
―New Republic Admiral Gial Ackbar on Imperial Admiral Natasi Daala
- "It's a trap!"
- ―Admiral Gial Ackbar
