William Shakespeare's The Jedi Doth Return

My father, thou dost break my heart in twain.
Behold, for thou shalt see thy son, indeed.

[Luke Skywalker removes Darth Vader’s mask to reveal Anakin Skywalker.

Anakin

My misting eyes are nothing like my son’s—
Thou art so beautiful to me. How strong
Thy features, with thy mother’s gentle face.
A man thou art, and ev’ry part my son.
I never have been prouder, all my life.
These final moments are pure gift. Now go,
And take thy leave ere this place is destroy’d.

Luke

But nay, thou shalt come with me. I shall not
Desert thee, but shall save thee yet.

Anakin

—O, Luke,
Thou hast already done. Thou knewest right—
Thou knewest what I was, for still there was
Some good within me aching to be free.
Tell thy sweet sister this: that thou wert right.

[Anakin Skywalker dies.

Luke

O Father, fare thee well where’er thou goest,
And flights of Jedi sing thee to thy rest!

[Exit Luke Skywalker, dragging Anakin Skywalker’s body.

Wedge

Good General Calrissian, the core
We now have reach’d—’tis here, within my sight.

Lando

I see it too, Wedge. Let us strike it down!
Approach the power regulator there,
Upon the northern tower. Let it burn!

Wedge

I hear and do obey, Gold Leader. Soon
It shall be done, and then I exit quick.

Lando

Light up, you vicious beast of evil bent,
You sick creation of humanity’s
Most wretched and deprivèd sense of right—
Since you could not inspire love, you caus’d fear.
O that a people e’er should such a harsh
And treach’rous weapon like to this create.
For who would make a thing whose only point
Is to destroy and murder, maim and kill?
What beings would produce such wickedness
As this: an instrument of pain and death?
Thus I do strike at you with vengeance in
The name of those who have no voice to speak.
Farewell, you Star of Death—be now no more!

[Wedge Antilles and Lando of Calrissian fire at the Death Star’s power generator.

Wedge

’Tis done, and now we make our great escape.
Make ready, Admiral, for it shall blow.

Ackbar

Move all the fleet hence, from the Death Star, else
Our ships may from the grand explosion take
A mighty slap.

[The Death Star explodes. Exeunt Lando Calrissian, Nien Nunb, Wedge Antilles, Admiral Ackbar and other rebels from the space battle. The rebel crew on Endor looks to the sky to see the explosion.

C-3PO

—Hurrah! They did it!

Chewbac.

—Auugh!

Han

Behold, and all rejoice—the deed is done!
Yet be ye still, my tongue, for what of Luke?
[ To Leia:

] Certain I am that Luke was not insideWhen it did perish.

Leia

—Truly, he was not,
For I can sense he safely doth abide.

Han
