— His High Exaltedness, the great Jabba the Hutt has decreed that you are to be terminated immediately.
— Good. I hate long waits.
— You will therefore be taken to the Dune Sea and cast into the Pit of Carkoon... nesting place of the all-powerful Sarlacc.
— Doesn't sound so bad.
— In his belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering, as you are slowly digested over 1,000 years. On second thought, let's pass on that.
— Now go, my son. Leave me.
— No. You're coming with me. I'll not leave you here. I've got to save you.
— You already have, Luke. You were right. You were right about me. Tell your sister... you were right.
— You want this... don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it. Give in to your anger. With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant.
— No.
— It is unavoidable. It is your destiny. You, like your father... are now... mine.
— Your overconfidence is your weakness.
— Your faith in your friends is yours.
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. Do not... Do not underestimate the powers of the emperor... or suffer your father's fate you will. When gone am I... the last of the Jedi will you be. The Force runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned. There is... another... Skywalker.
— But I need your help. I've come back to complete the training.
— No more training do you require. Already know you that which you need.
— Then I am a Jedi.
— Not yet. One thing remains... Vader. You must confront Vader. Then — only then — a Jedi will you be. And confront him you will.
A Jedi knight? I'm out of it for a little while, everybody gets delusions of grandeur.
Don't be so sure. If I told you half the things I've heard about this Jabba the Hutt... you'd probably short-circuit.
— So what I told you was true... from a certain point of view.
— A certain point of view?
— Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to... depend greatly on our own point of view.
