Leia, do you remember your mother? Your real mother?
Just a little bit. She died when I was very young.
What do you remember?
Just images, really. Feelings.
Tell me.
She was very beautiful. Kind, but sad. Why are you asking me all this?
I have no memory of my mother. I never knew her.
Luke, tell me. What's troubling you?
Vader's here. Now, on this moon.
How do you know?
I felt his presence. He's come for me. He can feel when I'm near. That's why I have to go. As long as I stay, I'm endangering the group and our mission here. I have to face him.
Why?
He's my father.
There's more. It won't be easy for you to hear it, but you must. If I don't make it back, you're the only hope for the Alliance.
Luke, don't talk that way! You have a power I don't understand and could never have.
You're wrong, Leia. You have that power too. In time you'll learn to use it as I have. The Force is strong in my family. My father has it. I have it and... [looks directly at Leia] My sister has it. [waits for the words to sink in] Yes. It's you, Leia.
Then you know why I have to face him.
No! Luke, run away, far away! If he can feel your presence, then leave this place! I wish I could go with you.
No, you don't. You've always been strong.
But why must you confront him?
Because there is good in him. I've felt it. He won't turn me over to the Emperor. I can save him. I can turn him back to the good side. I have to try. [kisses Leia on the cheek, then leaves]
[A moment later, Han approaches Leia.] ]
Hey, what's goin' on?
Nothing. I just want to be alone for a little while.
Nothing? Come on, tell me. What's goin' on?
[grunts angrily and starts to storm away, but stops and returns to Leia a moment later]
I'm sorry.
