Nothing's Really Left or Lost Without a Trace - Nothing's Gone Forever Only Out of Place


Nothing's Really Left or Lost Without a Trace - Nothing's Gone Forever Only Out of Place

KAYDEL KO CONNIX: 
Our distress signal's been received at multiple points, but no response.

LARMA D'ACY:  
They've heard us, but no one's coming.

LEIA
We fought till the end. 
But the galaxy has lost all its Hope. 
The spark is out. 


Luke. 
I know what you're gonna say - I changed my hair.

LUKE: 
It's nice that way. 
Leia, I'm sorry.

LEIA: 
I know. I know you are. 
I'm just glad you're here. 

At The End.

LUKE: 
I came to face him, Leia. 
And I can't save him.

LEIA: 
I held out Hope for so long -
But I know my son is gone.

LUKE: 
No one's ever really gone.

C-3PO: 
Master Luke.



POE: 
 It's Kylo Ren. Luke's facing him alone.

FINN: 
Well, we should help him. Let's go.

POE: 
No, wait. Wait.

KYLO REN: 
Did you come back to say you forgive me? 
To save my soul?

LUKE: 
No.

POE: 
He's doing this for a reason. 
He's stalling so we can escape.

FINN: 
Escape? He's one man against an army. 

He's not, actually – 
He's One Man against Less than one man :

One Man, One ManBoyChild's 
Monomaniacal Nihilistic Obsession

and Luke intends to give CryLow exactly what he wants.....


We have to help him, we have to fight.

POE: 
No, no. We are The Spark that'll light The Fire 
that will burn the First Order down. 

Skywalker's doing this so we can survive.
There's gotta be a way out of this mine. 
Hell, how did he get in here?


Wrong Question 
(as it turns out)
Completely irrelevant and immaterial

(See What I Did, There?)

Because Luke's apparition of the image of
THE LEGENDARY LUKE SKYWALKER, Jedi Master
inside the fence, behind the barricades of the redoubt
did not require there to be any means of gaining physical entrance 
through the worked-out and abandoned caverns of the mine -

There wasn't one until Poe began believing that there must somehow be one, somewhere (and so led the Rebel survivors in an earnest and determined search effort to find it)

and

in working through from The Other End of The Problem, 
Please Call Me Rey acted on her earnest belief that her endangered friends, who were trapped and backed into a corner, looking for a way out, would succeed, would make it to the back door, at the . conclusion of their passage under The Mountain 

C-3PO: 
Sir, it is possible that a natural unmapped opening exists. 
But this facility is such a maze of endless tunnels that the odds of finding an exit are 15,428....

POE: 
Shh. Shush. Hush. 
Shush up. Shut up!

C-3PO: 
...to one.

POE:
Listen.

C-3PO: 
My audio sensors no longer detect the....

POE: 
Exactly.

FINN: 
Where'd the crystal critters go?

ANY MAN WHO WOULD BE A KNIGHT 
AND FOLLOW A KING -

POE: 
Follow me.

LEIA: 
What are you looking at me for? 
Follow him.


THE LEGENDARY LUKE SKYWALKER, 
Jedi Master : 
I failed you, Ben. I'm sorry.

KYLO REN: 
I'm sure you are! 

The Resistance is Dead
The War is over
And when I kill you, 

I will have killed The Last Jedi.

THE LEGENDARY LUKE SKYWALKER, 
Jedi Master : 

Amazing. 

Every word of what you just said was wrong.

The Rebellion is reborn today. 
The war is just beginning. 
And I will not be the last Jedi.

KYLO REN: 
I'll destroy her, and you, and all of it.

THE LEGENDARY LUKE SKYWALKER, 
Jedi Master : 
No - Strike Me Down in Anger 
and
I'll always be with you. 

Just like Your Father.


KYLO REN: 
No.


THE LEGENDARY LUKE SKYWALKER, 
Jedi Master: 
See you around, kid.

KYLO REN: 
No!

Do you ever lie
Awake at night
Just between the dark
And the morning light
Searching for the things
You used to know
Looking for the place
Where the lost things go

Do you ever dream
Or reminisce
Wondering where to find
What you truly miss
Well maybe all those things
That you love so
Are waiting in the place
Where the lost things go

Memories you've shed
Gone for good you feared
They're all around you still
Though they've disappeared
Nothing's really left
Or lost without a trace
Nothing's gone forever
Only out of place

So maybe now the dish
And my best spoon
Are playing hide and seek
Just behind the moon
Waiting there until
It's time to show
Spring is like that now
Far beneath the snow
Hiding in the place
Where the lost things go

Time to close your eyes
So sleep can come around
For when you dream you'll find
All that's lost is found
Maybe on the moon
Or maybe somewhere new

Maybe all you're missing lives inside of you
So when you need her touch
And loving gaze
Gone but not forgotten
Is the perfect phrase

Smiling from a star
That she makes glow
Trust she's always there
Watching as you grow
Find her in the place
Where the lost things go

U.S. missiles pound targets in Afghanistan, Sudan

 
The El Shifa Pharmaceutical Industries factory lies in ruins, hit by U.S. cruise missiles  
Retaliation for bombing of U.S. embassies in eastern Africa

August 20, 1998

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Saying "there will be no sanctuary for terrorists," President Clinton on Thursday said the U.S. strikes against terrorist bases in Afghanistan and a facility in Sudan are part of "a long, ongoing struggle between freedom and fanaticism."

His comments were broadcast live from the White House shortly after he arrived in Washington from his vacation in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.

American cruise missiles pounded sites in Afghanistan and Sudan Thursday in retaliation for the August 7 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

U.S. officials say the six sites attacked in Afghanistan were part of a network of terrorist compounds near the Pakistani border that housed supporters of Saudi millionaire Osama bin Laden.

American officials say they have "convincing evidence" that bin Laden, who has been given shelter by Afghanistan's Islamic rulers, was involved in the bombings of the east African embassies.

In the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, the El Shifa Pharmaceutical Industries factory -- which U.S. officials say was housing chemical weapons -- was also attacked.

Pentagon sources confirmed to CNN that the attacks were made with cruise missiles, not aircraft. The missiles were fired from ships in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea. The simultaneous attacks took place about 1:30 p.m. EDT (1730 GMT).

In a brief comment made before his departure, the president said, "Today, we have struck back."

The president said he ordered the strike against bin Laden and his compatriots because of "compelling information they were planning additional terrorist attacks against our citizens and others with the inevitable collateral casualties and .. seeking to acquire chemical weapons and other dangerous weapons."

Sudanese television showed piles of rubble at the factory and fire raging in the distance. People were seen walking through the damage, wearing masks.

Sudanese officials reacted angrily to the attacks. Interior Minister Abdul Rahim told CNN in a telephone interview that the privately owned pharmaceutical firm had "nothing to do with chemical weapons."

"We have no chemical weapons factory in our country," he said.

A statement read on Sudanese television about an hour after the attack said, "The wrongful American air force launched air attacks on Sudan tonight which aimed at strategic and vital areas." There was no report as to the number of casualties.

Bin Laden reportedly survives attack

In Afghanistan, a spokesman for the ruling Taliban, Mullah Abdullah, said that "bin Laden is safe and no damage has been done to any of his companions." Bin Laden has been living in Afghanistan with the permission of the Taliban, a fundamentalist Islamic group that controls most of the country.

Abdullah said the U.S. attacks were in Khost, about 90 miles (144 kilometers) south of the capital, Kabul, and on Jalalabad, 60 miles (96 kilometers) east of Kabul.

The supreme leader of the Taliban said they would never hand over bin Laden to the United States. A Pakistan-based Afghan news service quoted Mullah Mohammad Omar as condemning U.S. bombings on Afghan sites Thursday and saying that they showed "enmity" for the Afghan people.

Cohen: 'No sanctuary for terrorists'

U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen said the goal of the strikes was to disrupt and attempt to destroy the suspected training and support facilities used to train "hundreds, if not thousands, of terrorists." ( 1.9 MB / 20 sec. AIFF or WAV sound)

"We recognize these strikes will not eliminate the problem," Cohen said. "But our message is clear. There will be no sanctuary for terrorists and no limit to our resolve to defend American citizens and our interests -- our ideals of democracy and law -- against these cowardly attacks."

Cohen said planning for the attack began within the last week.
