YODA and ANAKIN sit in Yoda 's room, deep in thought.
YODA: Premonitions... premonitions... Hmmmm... these visions you have...
ANAKIN: They are of pain, suffering, death...
YODA: Yourself you speak of, or someone you know?
ANAKIN: Someone...
YODA: ...close to you?
ANAKIN: Yes.
YODA: Careful you must be when sensing the future, Anakin. The fear of loss is a path to the dark side.
ANAKIN: I won't let these visions come true, Master Yoda.
YODA: Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed, that is.
ANAKIN: What must I do, Master Yoda?
YODA: Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.
i love this scene for many reasons, but mostly because both people involved in this conversation have wildly different interpretations of what was just said
for instance, on anakinâs side: iâm literally going crazy dreaming about my wife dying that i am desperate enough to seek out yodaâs guidance, despite the fact that iâm sure this guy hates me. âmaster yoda, iâm really scared of the people i love dying. what doâ âshit happens, my man. live with it. go w the flowâ goddammit master yoda, this is why i hate this fucking family
while on yodaâs side, he probably viewed it more like this: man, skywalker really hasnât been able to catch a break recently. the warâs been really hard on us all, but seeing ahsoka and having to leave her behind again must be really stressful for him. âmaster yoda i might be. possibly. having. a feeling.â âa bad feeling?â âi guess.â âabout?â âlike. death. i guess.â âyours? anyone specifically?â âno one. just. someone i know. and like. a lot.â oh man, he must be really worried about ahsoka. you know, i just lost my own padawan, maybe i can open up a little and let him know that i feel the same way. âyou know, anakin, death is an inevitability. one day the people we love are going to die, this is a fact of life and you canât change that, but what you can do is love them while we can, and when they die, donât think of them as being gone, because no oneâs ever really gone. matter and energy canât be destroyed, right? they just change form in the force. like iâm super sad about dooku, but i know that despite the things heâs done, some part of him while always be with me, even if itâs just my memories of him. does that make sense?â â........................i guessâ i should have obi wan and mace keep a close eye on him. with the added pressure of the chancellor, im afraid he might actually snap
