Pray, open up thine eyes. ’Tis thee and thineAbilities the Emperor desires.They are the bait, and thou the colo claw—Thou art the fish the Emperor would catch.Thy friends do suffer only for thy sake,So that, through them, thou mayst be easilyDrawn in.LUKE—And that is why I have to go.Present unto the Emperor the fish,And rest assur’d the bait is off the hook.OBI-WANO Luke, I would not lose thee as I lostDarth Vader. His betrayal made my lifeA bleak and tragic thing. Thy loss untoThe dark would make my death a hellish, coldEternity.LUKE—I shall return, dear Ben.My training thus far shall suffice, it isEnough; I stand prepar’d to face the dark.YODAStoppèd they must be;On this depends ev’ry thing.But pray, attend me:Only a fullyTrainèd Jedi may defeatVader and his Lord.If thou leavest now,And here do end thy training,Thou art choosing ease.And once on the pathOf ease and haste, like VaderThou mayst become, Luke.OBI-WANAttend to Yoda’s wisdom, Luke, and stay.O, exercise thy patience, worthy lad.LUKEAnd in the waiting sacrifice my friends?Is that the choice that ye would have me make?YODAThis hard indeed is.But if thou honor the thingFor which they fight: yes.OBI-WANIf thou dost choose to face Darth Vader, thouShalt be alone; I cannot interfere.LUKEI understand, and have been fully warn’d.My mind is set; good R2, do prepare.Fire up the ship’s converters: we depart.OBI-WANO, do not give in unto hate, dear Luke,In doing so the dark side shalt thou find.[Aside:] Indeed, I once did see it happen thus.YODAStrong is Darth Vader.Remember what thou hast learn’d,For save thee it can.LUKEI shall, and shall return: you have my word.[Exeunt Luke and R2-D2.
YODAWarnèd thee I have—He a reckless spirit hath.Now matters are worse.OBI-WANThat boy is our first, last, and greatest hope.[Exit Ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
YODABut nay, ’tis not so.For another yet there is:One more hope for us.O how this plagues me!The boy for training hath come,But too soon is fled.A young bird he is,Too eager the nest to leave,Yet trying to fly.But young birds fly not—Their wings still too fragile are.Instead, they do fall.And fall this one shall.But how far, how fast, how long?Time only shall tell.Little bird, be safe.If thou the nest seest againI shall meet thee then.[Exit Yoda.
