We got into the house

I'm Tamika by the way I said to the man

This is stormy

Granddaughter of general Parker he said

How did you know? She asked

Because you look like your mama he said

This is baby Jane

That's Jamie and Wanda

Then I went to the bathroom and started to clean myself up

Then I got back and saw a lightsaber

That so cool I said

For over a thousand generations, the Jedi knights were the guardians of Peace and justice in the old Republic before the dark times, before the empire

How did my father die?

A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi knights

He betrayed and murdered your father

That's sad I said

Now the Jedi are all but extinct

Vader was seduced by the dark side of the force

The force?

The force is what gives a Jedi his power

It's an energy field created by all living things

It surrounds us and penetrates us

It binds the galaxy together

The R2-D2 beeps

Now, let's see if we can't figure out what you are, my little friend, and where you come from

Then I saw a mini figure of princess Leia

I saw part of a message

I see to have found it

General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the clone wars

Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the empire

I regret that I am unable to present my father's request in person

But my ship has fallen under attack

And I'm afraid my mission to bring you to aldraan has failed

I have placed information vital to the survival of the rebellion

Into the memory systems of this R2 unit

My father will know how to retrieve it

You must see this droid safety delivered to him on alderaan

This is our most desperate hour

Help me, obi wan Kenobi, you're my only hope

Obi wan looked at us

You must learn the ways of the force if you guys come with me to alderaan

Alderaan?

I'm not going to alderaan

I've gotta get home, it's late, I'm in for it as it is

I need your guys help, Luke, she needs your guys help

I'm getting too old for this sort of thing

I can't get involved, I've got work to do

It's not that I like the empire I hate it

But there's nothing I can do about it right now

It's all such a long way from here

That's your uncle talking

Oh, boy, my uncle, how am I ever gonna explain this?

Learn about the force, Luke

Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead

You can get a transport there to mos eisley or wherever you're going

You must do what you feel is right, of course
