The recent battle is both lost and won:’Tis lost because of rebels who expir’d,’Tis lost because our base is compromis’d,’Tis lost because our time on Hoth is done,’Tis lost because we now evacuate.And yet, ’tis won because two walkers fell,’Tis won because the foes arriv’d too late,’Tis won because our transport is away,’Tis won because we live to fight again.R2, we leave anon. With all due speedPrepare the ship for takeoff.R2-D2—Meep, beep, squeak!LUKEFear not, R2, for now we fly!R2-D2—Beep, hoo.LUKENow flies my weary soul to Dagobah,The place that hath in vision called to me.I know not what or who this Yoda is,Yet do I trust the ghost of my dear Ben.To be a Jedi is my calling now,To learn the ways of the most potent Force.Already have I had more mentors thanMost people would e’er know in seven lives.But here I am, drawn t’ward another quest—To travel to an unknown system, aye,And meet an unknown person who, perhaps,Doth not expect my sudden visit there.Yet I believe the words that came from BenWere better than a foolproof prophet’s tale.There is a tide in the affairs of Jedi,Which taken at the flood, leads to the Force.Omitted, all the voyage of their lifeIs bound in black holes and in miseries.On such a full sea I am now afloat.And I must take the current where it serves,Or lose my chance to find my destiny.R2-D2[aside:] O noble speech, with feeling brute and raw.My master’s honor shall I serve with pride.How best to show him I stand by his side?I’ll offer ways to help him navigate.[To Luke:] Beep, meep, meep, squeak, beep, whistle, whistle, beep?LUKENay, nothing’s wrong, I merely change our course.R2-D2Meep, beep, squeak, whistle, beep, meep, meep, beep, whee?LUKEWe shall not rendezvous with our friends yet.Unto the system Dagobah we travel—And what we shall meet there, time shall unravel.[Exeunt.
