Master Yoda
[Luke returns to Yoda's hut on Degoba.]

That face you make. Look I so old to young eyes?

No. Of course not.

Master Yoda

I do, yes, I do! Sick have I become... old and weak. When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not, hmm? [laughs, then starts coughing] Soon will I rest. Yes, forever sleep. Earned it, I have.

Master Yoda, you can't die.

Master Yoda

Strong am I in the Force... but not that strong. Twilight is upon me, and soon night must fall. That is the way of things, the way of the Force. [climbs into bed and pulls the covers over himself]

But I need your help. I've come back to complete the training.

Master Yoda
[sighs]

No more training do you require. Already know you that which you need.

Then I am a Jedi.

Master Yoda

Ohhh! [turns back toward Luke and laughs, before coughing again] Not yet. One thing remains: Vader. You must confront Vader! Then, only then, a Jedi will you be. And confront him you will.

Master Yoda, is Darth Vader my father?

Master Yoda
[pauses, turns back over away from Luke]

Rest, I need. Yes... rest.

Yoda, I must know.

Master Yoda
[pauses again]

Your father he is. Told you, did he?

Master Yoda

Unexpected this is, and unfortunate.

Unfortunate that I know the truth?

Master Yoda
[turns back to Luke again]

No! Unfortunate, that you rushed to face him! That, incomplete was your training! That, not ready for the burden were you.

I'm sorry.

Master Yoda

Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware: Anger, fear, aggression. The Dark Side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. [growing weak] Luke... Luke... Do not... Do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor, or suffer your father's fate, you will. Luke, when gone am I, the last of the Jedi will you be. Luke, the Force runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned. [very weakly] Luke... there is... another... Sk-Sky...walk...er... [lies still, fading into nothing a moment later]

[Luke surrenders himself to Darth Vader.]

The Emperor has been expecting you.

I know, father.

So, you have accepted the truth?

I've accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skywalker, my father.

[firmly]

That name no longer has any meaning for me!

It is the name of your true self. You've only forgotten. I know there is good in you. The Emperor hasn't driven it from you fully. [steps off to the side of the passageway, away from Vader] That was why you couldn't destroy me. That's why you won't bring me to your Emperor now.

[Vader turns on Luke's lightsaber and holds it up]

I see you have constructed a new lightsaber. Your skills are complete. Indeed you are powerful, as the Emperor has foreseen. [turns off the lightsaber again]

Come with me!

Obi-Wan once thought as you do. You don't know the power of the Dark Side! I must obey my master.

I will not turn. And you'll be forced to kill me.

If that is your destiny.

Search your feelings, father. You can't do this. I feel the conflict within you!

There is no conflict.

Let go of your hate!

It is... too late for me, son. The Emperor will show you the true nature of the Force. He is your master now.

[resigned]

Then my father is truly dead.

[The Emperor has summoned Darth Vader to his chamber.]

What is thy bidding, my master?

Send the fleet to the far side of Endor. There it will stay until called for.

What of the reports of the rebel fleet massing near Sullust?

It is of no concern. Soon the rebellion will be crushed and young Skywalker will be one of us. Your work here is finished, my friend. Go to the command ship and await my orders.

Yes, my master.

[The Mon Calamari cruiser Liberty is destroyed by the Death Star]

That blast came from the Death Star. That thing's operational! [to Admiral Ackbar] Home One, this is Gold Leader.

We saw it. All craft, prepare to retreat!

We won't get another chance at this, Admiral.

We have no choice, General Calrissian! Our cruisers can't repel firepower of that magnitude!

Han'll have that shield down. We've got to give him more time!

(mocking Luke about his sister, Leia)

If you will not turn to the Dark Side... then perhaps she will.

[choked voice]

: Many Bothans died to bring us this information. (The Bothans are assumed to be spies, who had infiltrated the Imperial High Command.)

[to Jabba]

Nevertheless, I am taking Captain Solo, and his friends. You can either profit from this, or be destroyed. It's your choice, but I warn you not to underestimate my powers.

Don't worry, my friends are down there. They'll have that shield down on time... (to himself) or this'll be the shortest offensive of all time.
