Not far is Yoda.Aye, soon thou shalt be with him.First, eat of rootleaf.Feast for a Jedi—Food that enlivens the mindShould thy repast be.And now, a question:What drives the young man’s heart toLearn the Jedi way?LUKEThis is an inquiry perceptive, friend,For I am driv’n by force unto the Force:My noble father doth inform my steps.YODAThy father, indeed.Powerful Jedi was he.Powerful Jedi.LUKEAvaunt, thou silly creature, how canst thouMy father know? For surely thou dost notE’en know who I am. Fie! I know not whatOr who or why or when or where or howHath brought about this meeting! Time is short;Each minute pass’d with thee hath gone to waste!YODA[speaking to the air:] I cannot teach him.The boy hath none of patience.How shall he be taught?The voice of theGHOST OF OBI-WAN KENOBIis heard.
OBI-WANHe patience lacks, but patience can be learn’d.YODAMuch anger in him.Sudden and quick in quarrel:Too like his father.OBI-WANWas I then diff’rent when thou didst teach me?YODAHe is not ready.’Tis now the thing that I see:This one’s unprepar’d.LUKE’Tis Yoda! Nay, but Ben, pray argue forMy cause, for verily prepar’d am I!I can and shall a Jedi be. True, Ben?YODAReady are you, hmm?What know you yet of ready?Say naught of “ready.”For eight hundred yearsHave I the Jedi trainèd,So say not “ready.”I my own counselShall keep on who’s to be trained!A Jedi is wise.A strong commitmentAnd a most serious mindAre necessary.Long have I watch’d him.All his life looking awayTo the future, hmm,To the horizon.Ne’er his mind on where he was,What he was doing!Ventures, excitement:A Jedi craveth not these.Thou art reckless, aye!OBI-WANAnd so was I, if thou dost think on it.YODAAnd he is too oldThe training to begin now.Certain, he’s too old.LUKEBut Master Yoda, I have learn’d so much.YODAAnd will he finishThe thing he doth begin here?I prithee, tell me.LUKEI shall not fail thee: ’tis my promise true,For I am not afraid of anything.YODAThou shalt be yet, Luke.My words most carefully heed:Thou shalt be, indeed.[Exeunt.
