knows his friends' lives are in danger. "I can't keep the vision
out of my head. They are my friends; I must help them" Yoda
finally issues a dire warning, "If you leave now, help them you
could, but you will destroy all for which they have fought and
suffered." But Luke is determined to go. He is so locked in

Everything worked out great! But back in this galaxy, action before
preparation usually spells disaster."

Waiting for the Martian
Express: Cosmic Visitors, Earth Warriors, Luminous Dreams~1989 - (Richard
Gossinger) on Mr. Miyagi (Karate Kid) "...Jedi knights, and incarnations

Kenobi--he does not know this is the great Jedi warrior Obi-Wan Kenobi--Luke

(Evelyn Coleman) [1]
". . ."We think it's inside," the older, shorter and more
perceptive one said. I named him Yoda. Yoda continued, "Or at least
something like it is in the center of your diamond. . ." [2]
". . ."Yes, I do think that, but I didn't have anything to do with
it." "Of course not, my dear," Yoda said. "I doubt

you're right. . ."

real world not all kids will grow up to be Luke Skywalker . . ."
What If?: How to Start a
Creative Revolution at Work~2002 - (Dave Allen)[1]
"Our practical advice
is not to embark on a journey of creativity alone. When Luke Skywalker
set out to do battle with Darth Vader and the Evil Empire he found some
friends. The Rebel Alliance, of which he became part, was a group where
bravery could flourish because of a common purpose and constant sharing and
support. Too often bravery is typecast as a solitary
occupation."
[2] " Perhaps your
reality is different. You may or may not have the captain of the
fastest ship in the galaxy, a princess and a seven-foot Wookie at your side,
but you do need to create your own support systems. For thoughts on what
you need, why not watch Star Wars? Who is your Jedi master training and
advising you, helping you understand when to fight and when to wait? Who are
your Han and Leia, constantly at your side sharing the burden and the risks,
and pulling you out of the fire in times of trouble? Like the Alliance,
do you have leaders who provide motivation and vision, who understand what
bravery is and lead by example?"
What it Takes: The Way to the
Whitehouse~1993 - (Richard Ben Cramer) "That's
when Lee [Lee Atwater] wasn't trying to show you he was really a deep and
extra-rationally attuned Jedi-warrior disciple of the ancient Chinese
philosopher and strategist, Sun Tzu, and also of the Renaissance Italian,
Machiavelli, whose books, both and each, he carried with him, always so he
could pull them out and lend them for 5 minutes, or 10 if you were sitting in
his office and he had to pick up the phone."
What's That From?: The Ultimate Quiz Book of
Memorable Movie Lines Since 1969~ - (Jai Nanda)
12. The Empire Strikes Back What animal does Han Solo (Harrison Ford) put Luke
(Mark Hamill) in to keep him from freezing to death at the beginning of the
film? ..." (you should know the answer to this!)
What Time is It? You Mean Now?:
Advice for Life From the Zennest Master of Them All~2002 - (Yogi
Berra, Dave Kaplan) "...Could Contuciua hit a curveball? Could Yoda block

appear to centre on some of the key themes and motifs of `wisdom fantasies'.
Luke Skywalker's quest to become a Jedi knight is imbued with the
characteristics of the mage/warrior's training and self-discipline, while the
philosophical colouring given to the classic conflict between good and evil -
the 'force'.." etc.
Why of Consumption:
Contemporary Perspectives on Consumer Motives, Goals and Desires~2000 - color="#50855E"(S.
Ratneshwar) In Representations of Women's Identities and Goals - The
70's - speaks of Princess Leia and Star Wars. "...of the four
[characters], Leia is the most consistently reasonable and professional: she
organizes troops, oversees a government, formulates strategy, and deploys
resources. In short, she is an excellent manager, a goal that
only a decade earlier was depicted as inappropriate for women."
"Nonetheless, Leia was asexual, and it was not until 1978 that the film
Grease showed the transformation of a Passive Princess into a sexually
liberated spirit of the 70's."
Witch's Book of
Dreams: Understanding the Power of Dreams and Symbols, The~2001 - (Karri
Allrich) "... Understanding Archetypes - Luke Skywalker is the
quintessential young hero: idealistic and called to adventure. Han Solo is the
perfect reluctant hero, a bit jaded and world-weary. He has resisted
patriarchal values in his own wisecracking way, rejecting the system in his
lone cowboy pursuits. Princess Leah might have been the typical helpless
heroine needing a fairy tale rescue, but thankfully Lucas imbued her with
intelligence and leadership. She then becomes a fleshed out twin
(literally the Anima) for both Luke and Han."
Which Lie Did I Tell?:
More of the Screen Trade~2001 - (William
Goldman) "... that echoes. In Lucas's case, I think there are precious
few on the planet who preferred Return o f the Jedi to Star Wars. Well, why,
pray tell, should The Phantom Menace be any less boring and flawed than the
last ..."
While Drowning in the
Desert~1998 - (Don Winslow) "... face with

Phantom Menace Anger can be as addictive as alcohol. Like alcohol, it enables
people to . . ."
[2] "...are
governed by raw emotion. That's why most of us still experience anger more
often than we would like to. Yoda was right. Fear does lead to anger, anger
does lead to hate, and hate definitely leads to suffering. What follows . .
