Song is "Baby It's Cold Outside," by Dean Martin.

🎬 So Luke shows up in Return of the Jedi, right? He’s back on Dagobah — robes, confidence, the whole thing — “Master Yoda, I’ve come back to complete my training.”

But nothing compares to these. As a child I was captivated by this universe. However it was the characters I loved. Luke, Leia, Han, Yoda, Obi-Wan…years later it was Queen amidala, and then Rey.
