Return of the JediLuke is at the controls, with Artoo attached behind him outside the canopy. Luke speaks into his comlink to the others, in the MILLENNIUM FALCON.

HAN A message from Artoo appears on the small monitor screen in front of Luke. He smiles at the monitor and speaks to Artoo, as he pulls a black glove on to cover his wounded mechanical hand.
LUKE 49 EXT YODA'S HOUSE - DAGOBAH 49 Once again, Artoo finds himself waiting around in the damp environs of the swamp planet, and he's none too happy about it. He beeps disconsolately to himself and turns to look at Yoda's cottage. Warm yellow light escapes the oddly shaped windows to fight the gloom. 50 INT YODA'S HOUSE 50 The tip of a walking stick taps hesitantly across the earthen floor of the cottage. Our view travels up the stick to the small green hand that clutches it, and then to the familiar face of YODA, THE JEDI MASTER. His manner is frail, and his voice, though cheerful, seems weaker.
YODA Luke is sitting in a corner of the cramped space and, indeed, his look has been woeful. Caught, he tries to hide it.

YODA Yoda chuckles at this, coughs, and hobbles over toward his bed.
YODA Yoda sits himself on his bed, with great effort.

YODA Yoda sighs, and lies back on his bed.

YODA Luke is in agony. He is silent for a long moment, screwing up his courage. Finally he is able to ask.
LUKE Yoda's eyes are full of weariness and compassion. An odd, sad smile creases his face. He turns painfully on his side, away from Luke.
YODA Luke watches him, each moment an eternity.
LUKE
YODA Luke reacts as if cut.

LUKE A new look of concern crosses Yoda's face. He closes his eyes.

LUKE Yoda opens his eyes again and studies the youth.

YODA He beckons the young Jedi closer to him.
YODA He catches his breath. A shiver runs through the ancient green creature, and he dies. Luke stares at his dead master as he disappears in front of his eyes. 51 EXT DAGOBAH SWAMP - X-WING 51 Luke wanders back to where his ship is sitting. Artoo beeps a greeting, but is ignored by his depressed master. Luke kneels down, begins to help Artoo with the ship, then stops and shakes his head dejectedly.

BEN Luke looks up to see the shimmering image of BEN KENOBI.
LUKE The ghost of Ben Kenobi approaches him through the swamp.

BEN Luke is unresponsive. Ben studies him in silence for a moment.
BEN Ben pauses sadly.
BEN Luke turns with interest at this. As Ben speaks, Luke settles on a stump, mesmerized. Artoo comes over to offer his comforting presence.
BEN Luke is entranced.

BEN Luke turns, and settles near Ben to hear the tale.
BEN Luke is overwhelmed by the truth, and is suddenly protective of his sister.

BEN 138 EXT EWOK VILLAGE SQUARE - NIGHT 138 A huge bonfire is the centerpiece of a wild celebration. Rebels and Ewoks rejoice in the warm glow of firelight, drums beating, singing, dancing, and laughing in the communal language of victory and liberation. Lando runs in and is enthusiastically hugged by Han and Chewie. Then, finally, Luke arrives and the friends rush to greet and embrace him. They stand close, this hardy group, taking comfort in each other's touch, together to the end. Rebels and Ewoks join together in dancing and celebration. The original group of adventurers watch from the sidelines. Only Luke seems distracted, alone in their midsts, his thoughts elsewhere. He looks off to the side and sees three shimmering, smiling figures at the edge of the shadows: Ben Kenobi, Yoda, and Anakin Skywalker. |
