"You may win the occasional battle against us, Vorrik, but the Empire will always strike back."
―Gilad Pellaeon
―Gilad Pellaeon
- Pellaeon: "Every ruler should have a garden. It's always useful to draw lessons from nature."
- Leia: "True."
- Pellaeon: "From a garden one learns to cull the weak and unfit and to encourage the strong and the vigorous. An inferior bud soon feels the strength of my pinch!"
- Han: "And you make your plants grow in rows."
- Pellaeon: "Each receives its proper allotment of space and sunlight, and no more. That's fair, don't you think?"
- ―Gilad Pellaeon, Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo[src]
- Thrawn: "It was my one failure, out on the Fringes. The one time when understanding a race's art gave me no insight at all into its psyche. At least not at the time. Now, I believe I'm finally beginning to understand them."
- Pellaeon: "I'm sure that will prove useful in the future."
- Thrawn: "I doubt it. I wound up destroying their world."
- ―Thrawn and Captain Gilad Pellaeon, observing the sculpture of a dead race[src]
- Pellaeon: "Any idea whether those alien species are hostile toward strangers?"
- Thrawn: "Probably. Most alien species are. Shall we go?"
- ―Gilad Pellaeon and Thrawn, landing on Wayland[src]
- Pellaeon: "This is not a cattle market on Shaum Hii, Lieutenant Tschel. This is the bridge of an Imperial Star Destroyer. Routine information is not—repeat, not—simply shouted in the general direction of its intended recipient. Is that clear?"
- Tschel: "Yes, sir."
- ―Gilad Pellaeon, correcting Tschel on a matter of Imperial protocol[src]
"The young go through wars and think that the experience is enough to teach them to fear such conflicts. And then, years later, their children go to war, and suddenly the parents learn what fear really means."
―Gilad Pellaeon, to Luke Skywalker
―Gilad Pellaeon, to Luke Skywalker
- Jacen: "Maybe sending their most dangerous and aggressive warriors in to be killed by us will eventually reduce the gene pool, breed a more temperate Yuuzhan Vong."
- Pellaeon: "Victory by natural selection? An interesting game plan, Solo."
- ―Jacen Solo and Gilad Pellaeon, after killing Yuuzhan Vong infiltrators[src]
- Pellaeon: "I hope you're rushing to tell me that the chef has acquired Jacen Solo's entrails and is braising them for dinner."
- Vitor: "Not quite, Admiral."
- Pellaeon: "Life is full of disappointments."
- ―Gilad Pellaeon, talking to his aide, Vitor Reige during the Second Galactic Civil War[src]
"Good grief, Rex, doesn't Skywalker tell his underlings to put clothes on? What does he think this is, a cruise liner?"
―Gilad Pellaeon, telling CT-7567 about Ahsoka Tano's inappropriate choice of clothing
―Gilad Pellaeon, telling CT-7567 about Ahsoka Tano's inappropriate choice of clothing
"Skywalker, you're getting more dangerous the older you get. I hope I'm not around to see what you're going to be like when you get to be my age."
―Gilad Pellaeon, to Luke Skywalker
―Gilad Pellaeon, to Luke Skywalker
"We do not expose flesh in this ship, not only because it's unbecoming, undisciplined, and distracting, but because a ship is a dangerous place. Sharp edges, noxious chemicals, hot exhausts, weapons flash. Safety first, Padawan. Cover up."
―Captain Gilad Pellaeon, to Ahsoka Tano
―Captain Gilad Pellaeon, to Ahsoka Tano
"Ah, for the days when a commanding officer could dump a useless minion out the airlock without having to worry about filling in forms..."
―Captain Gilad Pellaeon
―Captain Gilad Pellaeon
- Pellaeon: "Rex, you're enjoying this…"
- Rex: "Me, Sir? Never sir."
- Pellaeon: "We're both captains, Rex… it's Gil. Drop the sir."
- Rex: "Navy captain outranks army captain, sir. Strictly speaking."
- Pellaeon: "Shut up, for goodness' sake, man, and come have a drink."
- ―Clone Captain CT-7567 and Captain Gilad Pellaeon discussing their ranks[src]
"What happens when we've bent the rules so far that they come around and stab us in the back?"
―Captain Gilad Pellaeon, to Grand Admiral Thrawn
―Captain Gilad Pellaeon, to Grand Admiral Thrawn
- C'baoth: "I can see the men inside your precious cloaking shields. I can see their thoughts and guide their wills. What does the metal itself matter?"
- Pellaeon: "I suppose there's a lot that doesn't matter to you."
- C'baoth: "What doesn't matter to a Jedi Master does not matter to the universe."
- ―The mad Jedi clone Joruus C'baoth, describing his battle meditation to Captain Gilad Pellaeon[src]
- Sorro: "Of course you've never lost everything."
- Pellaeon: "Not everything, no. But I've had my share of losses."
- Sorro: "What, promotions? The last dessert cube in the mess line?"
- ―Pilot Sorro and Admiral Gilad Pellaeon[src]
"I'm too old to want glory. At my age, you worry more about what might be said about you after you're dead. I'd like to be recalled as an admiral who left the galaxy a little tidier and quieter than he found it."
―Gilad Pellaeon, near the end of his life
―Gilad Pellaeon, near the end of his life
"Of course. Alderaanian, Caamasi, and Noghri. Three beings with the most reason to hate the Empire."
―Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, when meeting the first New Republic peace delegation
―Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, when meeting the first New Republic peace delegation
- Thrawn: "There wasn't anything more to be heard. It was intercepted by a task force outside Old Republic space and destroyed."
- Pellaeon: "How do you know?"
- Thrawn: "Because I was the force's commander."
- ―Grand Admiral Thrawn and Captain Gilad Pellaeon, discussing the destruction of Outbound Flight[src]
- Pellaeon: "But if they're not going to hit Tangrene... then where?"
- Thrawn: "The last place we would normally expect them."
- Pellaeon: "Bilbringi? Sir, that's..."
- Thrawn: "Insane? Of course it is. The insanity of men and aliens who've learned the hard way that they can't match me face-to-face. And so they attempt to use my own tactical skill and insight against me. They pretend to walk into my trap, gambling that I'll notice the subtlety of their movements and interpret that as genuine intent. And while I then congratulate myself on my perception — they prepare their actual attack."
- ―Grand Admiral Thrawn, confounding Captain Pellaeon with his reverse-reverse psychology tactics[src]
