STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE Clip - "Leia Message" (1977) Carrie Fisher

[Music] no my father didn't fight in the wars he was a navigator on a spice freighter that's what your uncle told you he didn't hold with your father's ideals thought he should have stayed here and not gotten involved you fought in the Clone Wars I was once a Jedi Knight the same as your father I wish I'd known him he was the best Star pilot in the galaxy and a cunning Warrior I understand you've become quite a good pilot yourself a good friend which reminds me I have something here for you your father wanted you

to have this when you were old enough your uncle wouldn't allow it he feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damn fool idealistic Crusade like your father did sir if you're not been eating me I'll close down for a while sure go ahead others lightsaber this is the weapon of a Jedi Knight not as clumsy or random as a blast An Elegant weapon for the more civilized day for over a thousand Generations the Jedi Knights were the Guardians of peace and Justice in the Old Republic before the dark times before the empire how did

my father die a young Jedi named Darth Vader who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights trade and murdered your father now the Jedi are all but extinct Vader was seduced by the dark side of the force the force and the forces what gives the Jedi his power it's an energy field created by all living things it surrounds us and penetrates us it binds the Galaxy together now let's see if we can't figure out what you are my little friend and where you

come from I saw part of the message I seem to have found it who served my father in the Clone begs you to help him in struggle against the empire I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan is failed I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit my father will know how to retrieve it must be destroyed safely delivered to him on

Alderaan this is our most desperate hour help me Obi-Wan Kenobi you're my only hope you must learn the ways of the force if you were to come with me to Alderaan Alderaan only to Alderaan I better get home it's late I'm important as it is I need your help Luke she needs your help I'm getting too old for this sort of thing get involved work to do it's not that I like the Empire I hate it but there's nothing I can do about it right now such a long way for me that's your uncle talking
