Well, it’s not a picture exactly; it’s a portion of the ROTS script. There is something iffy about it, though, something very iffy. If you can spot what it is, you’ll win a frosty chocolate milkshake!*

**222 INT. POLIS MASSA-OBSERVATION DOME-NIGHT

**On the isolated asteroid of Polis Massa, YODA meditates.

YODA: Failed to stop the Sith Lord, I have. Still much to learn, there is …

QUI -GON: (V.O.) Patience. You will have time. I did not. When I became one with the Force I made a great discovery. With my training, you will be able to merge with the Force at will. Your physical self will fade away, but you will still retain your consciousness. You will become more powerful than any Sith.

YODA: Eternal consciousness.

QUI-GON: (V.O.) The ability to defy oblivion can be achieved, but only for oneself. It was accomplished by a Shaman of the Whills. It is a state acquired through compassion, not greed.

YODA: . . . to become one with the Force, and influence still have . . . A power greater than all, it is.

QUI-GON: (V.O.) You will learn to let go of everything. No attachment, no thought of self. No physical self.

YODA: A great Jedi Master, you have become, Qui-Gon Jinn. Your apprentice I gratefully become.

  • The frosty chocolate milkshake is of the spiritual, metaphorical variety, not the literal; if you want a literal milkshake, buy or make one yourself.
