William Shakespeare's The Jedi Doth Return

Arise, my friend, and put thy soul at ease.
I trust the time spent here shall bear good fruit?

Vader

Indeed, my master. All the workers have
A newfound motivation for the task.
The Death Star shall completed be within
The time and schedule thou hast orderèd.

Emperor

Thou hast done well, Lord Vader. I am pleas’d.
And now I sense another thought in thee?
Thou wouldst anon resume thy search for the
Young rebel Skywalker. Have I judg’d right?

Vader

My master: yes.

Emperor

—Be patient, my good friend.
Thou shalt not seeker be; I’ll warrant that,
In time, the lad himself shall seek thee out—
I see with my mind’s eye it shall be so.
And when he doth come to thee, thou shalt then
Deliver him, in deference, to me.
The boy hath grown quite strong. Together we
Will bring him to the dark side of the Force.

Vader

Thy wish is mine.

Emperor

—Thus have we set the scene:
All doth proceed just as I have foreseen!

[Exeunt.

Luke

Good friends, with you I shall meet once again,
Where our strong fleet doth plan to rendezvous.

Leia

[ through comlink:] Aye, do. Th’Alliance should be gather’d now.

Han

[ through comlink:

] And Luke, my deepest thanks are due to thee,For I did doubt that thou a Jedi wert.
But thine example brave hath shown to me
A power I ne’er would have believ’d was real,
Except I was its benefici’ry.
Thou didst not overlook thy friend in need,
But came back for his rescue unafraid.
Now truly, friend, ’tis I who owe thee one.

[Exeunt Han Solo and Princess Leia.
