So was I, if You Remember.









I chose this face and form especially for you. It's from your past. 
Or possibly Your Future -- I always get those two mixed up. 

Luke Skywalker: 
Look, I'm sure it's delicious. 
I just don't understand why we can't see Yoda now!

Yoda: 
[cheerfully] 
Patience! For The Jedi it is time to eat as well! Eat. 

[Laughs] 

Eat. Hot. 
Good food, hmm? Good, hmm?

Luke Skywalker: 
How far away is Yoda? 
Will it take us long to get there?

Yoda: 
Not far. Yoda not far. Patience. 
Soon you will be with him. 
Root leaf, I cook. 

Why wish you become Jedi?


Luke Skywalker: 
Well, mostly because 
of My Father, I guess.

Yoda: 
Oh, Father! Powerful Jedi was he. 
Powerful Jedi.

Luke Skywalker: 
Oh, come on! How could you know My Father? 
You don't even know Who I am

Oh, I don't even know what I'm doing here! 
We're wasting our time!

Yoda: 
[sighs, looks upward
I cannot teach him -- 
The Boy has no patience.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: 
[voice emanates from nowhere] 
He will learn patience.

Yoda: 
Much anger in him --
like His Father.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: 
Was I any different when you taught me?

Yoda: 
He is not ready!

Luke Skywalker: 
Yoda..? I am ready! I— 
Ben, I can be a Jedi! Ben tell him I'm rea— 

[bangs his head on the low ceiling

Ow!

Yoda: 
[to Luke] 
Ready are you? What know you of ready
For 800 years have I trained Jedi.

My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained! 

A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, 
the most serious mind. 

This one, a long time have I watched --

All his life, has he looked away -- 
To The Future --
To The Horizon -- 

Never, his mind on Where He Was 

[pokes Luke]. 

Hmm? What He was Doing

[paces around] 

Adventure. Heh! Excitement. 
A Jedi craves not these things. 

[turns to Luke and points with his walking stick] 

You are reckless!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: 
So was I, if you remember.

Yoda: 
[still looking at Luke] 
He is too old. Yes. 
Too old to begin the training.

Luke Skywalker: 
But I've learned so much.

Yoda: 
[looking toward the sky] 
Will he finish what he begins?

Luke Skywalker: 
I won't fail you..! 

I'm not afraid.

Yoda: 
[grimly] 
Oh! You WILL be.... 

You, will be....
