How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens.
Quote #1
LOR SAN TEKKA: This will begin to make things right. I've traveled too far, and seen too much, to ignore the despair in the galaxy. Without the Jedi, there can be no balance in the Force.
Star Wars is big on balance, even when it pushes both halves of the big Force divide against each other. So before the film gets down to talking about the temptations of evil and the difficulty of being good, it reminds us what's at stake…and why.

KYLO REN: Look how old you've become.
LOR SAN TEKKA: Something far worse has happened to you.
Ground zero for the good vs. evil battle in this movie is Kylo Ren, the former Ben Solo who clearly decided that quick and easy was the route for him. In that sense, he's just like his Uncle Luke, who was also tempted by the dark side.
The difference is that we first met Luke when he was pretty much a light side dude, and Kylo Ren clearly drank the dark side Kool-Aid—a big gulp of it—before we got on the scene.

UNKAR PLUTT: Follow the girl and get that droid.
Here's the thing about Star Wars: there really isn't any such thing as a neutral party. You either get redeemed (like Han and Lando Calrissian) or you put yourself firmly on Team Bad Guy (like Jabba the Hutt and Boba Fett). Unkar Plutt seems to be on nobody's side, but he certainly doesn't mean our heroes any good at all here.
