"We live in a society where honor is a distant memory."

“No one ever complained about the cold on Hoth. We never felt it. Even though we were blinded by blizzards, we could see the final end of the Rebellion in our blaster sights. Was it only a mirage? Perhaps. But on that day, on that planet, our blood ran hot with dreams of victory, melting the ice that stood in our way.”
- Unknown 501st Trooper, on the Battle of Hoth, (Star Wars Battlefront 2, 2005)

I always love it when people start making epic quotes in the comments or creating their own short story snippets inspired by this type of music. 🥰

“As a member of the Royal Guard, I once saw this kingdom as the perfect beacon of hope on the face of the Overworld. Now, after knowing what it truly does, it’s nothing more but a mirror of the thing I’ve been taught to despise”

“How so?”

“Both Sides of this war have family’s, goals, motives, events, Wars, funerals,
but most importantly and the most horrifying .... both teach their people to hate the other with a burning passion, no more no less”
“If you truly believe these kingdoms can be saved.... then you shall die as much as a fool as the kings on their thrones, believing that hating the other will make their problems go away”

“Stand amongst the ashes of a trillion dead souls, and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.”
~Javik, Mass Effect 3

This song always makes me think of a lone survivor gathering himself, then walking away from everything, and as the song progresses, the camera continues to pan out, showing all of this destruction around them.
