To Luke, the Clone Wars
were distant, ancient history--
his dad was a spicer.
===================
After his terrible
ordeal, Threepio shuts down a while,
dreaming of electric dewbacks.
===================
In an old trunk, Obi-Wan
hides a secret treasure--Anakin
Skywalker's lightsaber.
===================
You can almost see
the glow in Luke's eyes when he
first ignites the blade.
===================
For over a thousand
generations, Jedi Knights believed
they were invincible.
===================
Hearing Obi-Wan talk,
Luke's mind travels beyond the Dune Sea
for the first time.
===================
"I don't seem to remember
ever owning a droid." (Does the name
R4 ring a bell?)
===================
General Kenobi listens
to the beautiful hologram, pauses,
and recalls that he's old.
===================
"I can't get involved!"
Joseph Campbell calls this the hero's
refusal of the call.
===================
(Learn the ways of the
Force? Go to Alderaan?) Luke, trapped
between duty and desire.
===================
In nineteen years of
searching, didn't Vader ever think to
find Ben on Tatooine?
