Facing Mortality and Wisdom in Age
Yoda
That face, you make. Look I so old to young eyes?
Luke Skywalker
No. Of course not.
[hurriedly]
Yoda
I do. Yes, I do. Hmm, sick, have I become. Old and weak. When 900 years old, you reach, look as good, you will not, hmm? . Soon, will I rest, yes. Forever sleep. Earned it, I have.
[chuckles good-naturedly; points at Luke; laughs again, coughs, walks over to his bed; climbs into his bed and Luke covers him up with his blanket]
Luke
Master Yoda, you can't die.
Yoda
Strong, am I, with 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.
Luke
But I need your help. I've come back to complete the training.
Yoda
No more training, do you require. Already know you that which you need.
Luke
Then I am a Jedi.
Yoda
Not yet. One thing remains: Vader. You must...confront...Vader. Then, only then, a Jedi, will you be. And confront him, you will.
[coughs trying to speak]
Luke
Master Yoda... is Darth Vader my father?
[visibly in agony]
Yoda
Rest, I need. Yes, rest.
[turns away from Luke]
Luke
Yoda, I must know.
[pleading]
Yoda
Your father, he is. Told you, did he?
[Luke looks away]
Luke
Yes.
Yoda
Unexpected, this is, and unfortunate.
Luke
Unfortunate that I know the truth?
[surprised]
Yoda
No. Unfortunate that you rushed to face him. That incomplete, was your training. That not ready for the burden, were you.
[turns to face Luke]
Luke
I'm sorry.
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. 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. Luke... ...There... is... another... Sk... Sky... walker.
[strains to speak as voice gradually grows softer; whispering now; struggles to speak; Luke leans in close; with great effort; Yoda dies, then disappears into thin air]

A Call for Help in Desperation
Luke Skywalker
I saw part of the message he was...
Obi-Wan Kenobi
I seem to have found it.
Leia
General Kenobi. Years ago, you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.
[in a hologram message; looks to the side quickly, then crouches to end the message]
Luke
Who is she?
Obi-Wan
She is Princess Leia Organa of the Royal House of Alderaan. An Imperial senator. And, unknown to the Empire, a leader of the Rebel Alliance. She has grown into a remarkable young woman. You must learn the ways of the Force if you're to come with me to Alderaan.
[long pause]
Luke
Alderaan?! I'm not going to Alderaan. I've got to get home. It's late; I'm in for it as it is.
Obi-Wan
I need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I'm getting too old for this sort of thing.
Luke
Listen, I can't get involved! I've got work to do! It's not that I like the Empire; I hate it, but there's nothing I can do about it right now. It's such a long way from here.
Obi-Wan
That's your uncle talking.
Luke
Oh, boy; my uncle. How am I ever going to explain this?
Obi-Wan
Learn about the Force, Luke.
[pleading]
Luke
Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you're going.
Obi-Wan
You must do what you feel is right, of course.
[resigned]

Inspiration Through Struggle and Hard Work
The Major
Boys, it takes heavy, heavy sack to sign up for this contest, and you've all got it. You're men now. As you all know, our country has been in a period of financial struggle since the war, and we did the first Long Walk all those years ago to inspire and re-integrate the value of work ethic. Each year after the event, there's a spike in production. We have the means to return to our former glory. Our problem now is an epidemic of laziness. You boys are the answer. The Long Walk is the answer. When this is broadcast for all the states, your inspiration will continue to elevate our gross national product. We will be number one in the world again!
[cheers from the Walkers]

A Jedi's Weapon and the Dark Side
Luke Skywalker
A Jedi's weapon deserves more respect.
Rey
Master Skywalker!
[surprised]
Luke
What are you doing?
Rey
I saw myself on the dark throne. I won't let it happen. I'm never leaving this place. I'm doing what you did.
Luke
I was wrong. It was fear that kept me here. What are you most afraid of?
Rey
Myself.
[after a long pause]
Luke
Because you're a Palpatine. Leia knew it, too.
Rey
She didn't tell me. And she still trained me.
[Luke sits beside her]
Luke
Because she saw your spirit. Your heart. Rey, some things are stronger than blood. Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi. Your destiny. If you don't face Palpatine, it will mean the end of the Jedi, and the war will be lost. There's something my sister would want you to have.
Rey
Leia's saber.
Luke
It was the last night of her training. Leia told me that she had sensed the death of her son at the end of her Jedi path. She surrendered her saber to me and said that one day, it would be picked up again by someone who would finish her journey. A thousand generations live in you now. But this is your fight. You'll take both sabers to Exogol.
Rey
I can't get there. I don't have the wayfinder. I destroyed Ren's ship.
Luke
You have everything you need.
Rey
Two were made.
[finds a second wayfinder in the wreckage of Ren's TIE whisper]

The Rules of Survival and Competition
The Major
Now, uh, I'm not going to go through the whole rule-book, but it boils down to this. Walk until there's only one of you left. Maintain a speed of three miles per hour. If you fall below the speed, you get a warning. If you can't make speed in ten seconds, you get an additional warning. Three warnings, you get your ticket. Walk one hour at speed, one warning is erased, and so on. If you step off the pavement, you will get your ticket without warning. The goal is to last the longest. There's one winner, and no finish line. Any of you can win. Any of you can do it if you walk long and steady enough, if you refuse to give up. I look at each and every one of you, and I see hope. Now, boys, who's set to fuckin win? I said, who's ready to fuckin win? Luck to all, and remember. Anyone can win.
[cheers from the Walkers; louder cheers; he fires a pistol into the air to start the Walk]

Soldier
Sir?
The Major
Give him his wish. He won't shoot anyone, boys. He's won too much, and remember. This one wants to make the world a better place. Isn't that right, son?
Peter McVries #23
Hold your fire or I'll fuckin shoot!
The Major
Hold your fire, boys!
Peter McVries #23
I'll fuckin shoot!
The Major
That's all right, son. No harm done...not yet. Put the gun down. The whole world is waitin for you. There's more riches than you can possibly imagine. Put the gun down. The prize is yours for the takin'. Don't throw it away.

Limits of the Body and Mind
The Major
You'll walk as long as you can. But sometimes, the body won't listen. For some of you, your heart will stop. For others, your brain. And the blood will flow... suddenly.
