Luke. Luke!
Luke Skywalker Ben?
Luke Skywalker Dagobah system?
There you will learn from Yoda, the Jedi Master who instructed me.
Away put your weapon, I mean you no harm! I am wondering, why are you here?
Luke Skywalker I'm looking for someone.
Looking? Found someone, you have, I would say. Hmmm?
Luke Skywalker Right.
Help you I can. Yes, mmm.
Luke Skywalker I don't think so. I'm looking for a great warrior.
Oh! Great warrior! [Laughs] Wars make not one great.
Luke Skywalker Look, I'm sure it's delicious. I just don't understand why we can't see Yoda now!
Patience! For the Jedi it is time to eat as well. Eat. [Laughs] eat. Hot. Good food, hmm? Good, hmm?
Luke Skywalker How far away is Yoda? Will it take us long to get there?
Not far. Yoda not far. Patience. Soon you will be with him. Root leaf, I cook. Why wish you become Jedi?
Luke Skywalker Well, mostly because of my father, I guess.
Oh, father! Powerful Jedi was he. Powerful Jedi.
Luke Skywalker Oh, come on! How could you know my father? You don't even know who I am. Oh, I don't even know what I'm doing here! We're wasting our time!
Much anger in him, like his father.
Was I any different when you taught me?
He is not ready!
Luke Skywalker Yoda? I am ready! I— Ben, I can be a Jedi! Ben tell him I'm rea— [bangs his head on the low ceiling] Ow!
Ready are you? What know you of ready? For 800 years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained! A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one, a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away to the future, the horizon. Never his mind on where he was [pokes Luke]. Hmm? What he was doing. [paces around] Adventure. Heh! Excitement. A Jedi craves not these things. [turns to Luke and points with his walking stick] You are reckless!
So was I, if you remember.
Luke Skywalker But I've learned so much.
Luke Skywalker I won't fail you! I'm not afraid.
Luke Skywalker We'll never get it out now!
So certain are you. Always with you it cannot be done. Hear you nothing that I say?
Luke Skywalker Master, moving stones around is one thing. This is totally different.
No! No different! Only different in your mind. You must unlearn what you have learned.
Luke Skywalker Alright, I'll give it a try.
No! Try not! Do, or do not. There is no try.
Luke Skywalker I can't. It's too big.
Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you, hmm? And well you should not, for my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. [looks around him] Life creates it. Makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us, and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you. Everywhere. Here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere. Yes, even between the land and the ship.
Luke Skywalker You want the impossible. [starts to walk away]
Luke Skywalker I don't believe it!
That is why you fail.
Control! Control! You must learn control!
Luke Skywalker I saw... I saw a city in the clouds.
Hmm. Friends you have there.
Luke Skywalker They were in pain!
It is the future you see.
Luke Skywalker The future? Will they die?
Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future.
Luke Skywalker I've gotta go to them.
Decide you must how to serve them best. If you leave now, help them you could, but... you would destroy all for which they have fought and suffered.
Luke! You must complete the training.
Luke Skywalker I can't keep the vision out of my head. They're my friends. I've gotta help them.
You must not go!
Luke Skywalker But Han and Leia will die if I don't.
You don't know that. Even Yoda cannot see their fate.
Luke Skywalker But I can help them! I feel the Force!
But you cannot control it! This is a dangerous time for you, when you will be tempted by the Dark Side of the Force.
Yes, yes! To Obi-Wan you listen. The cave! Remember your failure at the cave!
Luke Skywalker But I've learned so much since then. Master Yoda, I promise to return and finish what I've begun. You have my word.
It is you and your abilities the Emperor wants. That is why your friends are made to suffer.
Luke Skywalker That's why I have to go.
Luke, I don't want to lose you to the Emperor the way I lost Vader.
Luke Skywalker You won't.
Stopped they must be. On this all depends. Only a fully trained Jedi Knight with the Force as his ally will conquer Vader and his Emperor. If you end your training now, if you choose the quick and easy path as Vader did, you will become an agent of evil.
Patience!
Luke Skywalker And sacrifice Han and Leia?
If you honor what they fight for, yes!
If you choose to face Vader, you will do it alone. I cannot interfere.
Luke Skywalker I understand. R2, fire up the converters.
Luke. Don't give in to hate. That leads to the Dark Side.
Strong is Vader. Mind what you have learned. Save you it can.
Luke Skywalker I will, and I'll return. I promise.
That boy is our last hope. [fades from view]
No. There is another.
You have learned much, young one.
Luke Skywalker You'll find I'm full of surprises.
Your destiny lies with me, Skywalker. Obi-Wan knew this to be true.
Luke Skywalker No!
There is no escape! Don't make me destroy you. Luke, you do not yet realize your importance. You've only begun to discover your power! Join me, and I will complete your training! With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict, and bring order to the galaxy.
Luke Skywalker I'll never join you!
If only you knew the power of the Dark Side! Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.
Luke Skywalker He told me enough! He told me you killed him!
No. I am your father!
Luke Skywalker No... No! That's not true! That's impossible!
Search your feelings, you know it to be true!
Luke Skywalker NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! NOOOO...!!
Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny! Join me, and together, we can rule the galaxy as father and son! Come with me. It is the only way.
