Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal

"Arcturus Mengsk is basically what would have happened if Luke Skywalker had, at the end of Return of the Jedi, thought, “You know what? That whole Empire thing wasn’t actually so bad. I mean, I could totally rule the universe and not be a dick about it.” Only then he would be a dick about it, and would grow a sweet beard and develop a southern accent. Oh, and he wouldn’t have Force powers anymore, or a lightsaber."

"Don’t try to sell me on your Jedi and your Republic, because that’s exactly what it is: your Republic. You say the Sith only respect strength? Well, that’s pretty much the way things are out here on the Rim, too. You look out for yourself, because nobody else will. That’s why the Sith keep finding new recruits willing to join them out here. People with nothing feel like they’ve got nothing to lose. And if the Republic doesn’t figure that out pretty soon, the Brotherhood of Darkness is going to win this war no matter how many Jedi you have leading your army."
