Jedi mystery!
A lightsaber was found
on the moon of Oba Diah,
belonging to Sifo-Dyas,
a Jedi responsible for
the creation of the clone army.
The Jedi have learned
that before the start of the war
Count Dooku murdered Sifo-Dyas
and skillfully manipulated
the Republic
into the galactic conflict,
intending for the Jedi to fight
with the clones at their side.
Now as the Jedi Council meets
to discuss the purpose
of this deception,
Master Yoda meditates
deep into the Force
in search of answers.
[voice echoing]
Yoda
Hear you I do.
Who are you?
My imagination it must be.
[voice echoing] No.
It is I, Qui-Gon Jinn.
That cannot be.
Dead you are.
[Qui-Gon Jinn] No.
I am part of the Living Force, Yoda.
[whoosh]
Impossible.
I am not sure this Council is admitting
how grave a situation we are in.
What are you saying?
That Dooku is not the Sith Lord;
merely an apprentice.
That, like many things,
remains unclear.
Master Yoda, your thoughts
on these revelations?
Hmm?
Oh, oh, yes, yes.
Forgive me,
deep in thought I was.
[Yoda]
You were saying?
Master Ki-Adi-Mundi
is worried.
Yes, worried we all should be.
Lies and mistrust surround us
in the Senate,
and perhaps even within these walls.
Hmm.
On the precipice we are, yes.
The growing dark side
endangers us all.
Excuse me, everyone.
Master Kenobi,
may I speak with you in private?
Of course.
There is great turmoil
within Master Yoda.
Yes, we all sensed it.
For something to affect Yoda
this deeply concerns me.
We must keep an eye on our old friend.
The war has taxed all of us
to our limit.
I suppose we're just surprised
that Master Yoda has one.
I hope it's that simple,
but I feel the shadow
of something greater
on our horizon.
[Qui-Gon Jinn]
Yoda.
Oh!
Master Yoda.
Sorry, I didn't see you there.
Is everything okay?
Encountered something
difficult, I have.
Difficult?
For you, Master?
Spoke with Master Qui-Gon Jinn
on Mortis did you not?
Yes
So did Obi-Wan.
However, since he's dead,
we don't think it was actually him.
Rather an illusion
A mind trick formed out
of our memories.
That's what Obi-Wan believes
Why do you ask?
Perhaps nothing it is.
Everything that we know about
the Force
tells us that an individual
retaining their identity
after death is impossible.
Everything that we know, yes.
But what about what we know not?
Hmm?
Master Yoda, are you suggesting
that you have spoken
with Master Qui-Gon?
Suggest this I am not.
Rest I need.
Yes, rest.
Then speak with the Council I shall.
Sense something
that I have not before.
Impossible it seems.
Trust my feelings, I do not.
The voice I hear
does not come from within
but speaks from beyond.
Know I must if I am alone,
or if any of you can hear it as well.
Then together we shall meditate.
[dramatic orchestral music]
Hmm.
Hear the voice I did not.
I also sensed nothing.
Answers we will not find.
Tired I am.
Rest I must.
We have to consider that this
may be a deception by the Sith.
Surely you're not suggesting
Master Yoda is susceptible
to such manipulation.
Master Yoda,
you are older
and wiser than any living Jedi,
but this does not mean
you are beyond the corruption
of the dark side.
Agree I do.
A possibility we must consider it is.
Clouded so much of our vision
the dark side has,
deceived I may be.
All I can tell you is,
I have scanned Master Yoda
three times
and I find nothing wrong with him.
I am not an expert on his biology,
but from my point of view,
he is in perfect health.
And his mind?
No signs of any degeneration.
This section of the brain
is particularly active,
more than I have seen
in any other Jedi.
Probably what happens
when you approach 900 years old.
I think we are overlooking
an obvious thread.
Which is
Count Dooku was Yoda's apprentice,
and Count Dooku has fallen
to the dark side.
All of us have apprenticed
to Master Yoda.
He cannot be held accountable
for Dooku's descent.
But they are connected, profoundly.
Whoever the Sith Lord is,
he may be using this relationship
as a direct link to Yoda.
Impossible.
Are you so sure?
If the Sith Lord wanted to attack
the Jedi Order from within,
Master Yoda would be
the perfect choice.
I fear we are more vulnerable
than we think.
I would like
to suggest something:
a deprivation ritual.
It is a dangerous procedure
but one that will without question
allow Yoda to go to the source
of this voice
whatever, whoever it may be.
I'm sorry to bother you,
but the Chancellor's requesting
that Master Yoda attend
an emergency meeting.
I will go.
What about the treatment?
Ask Master Yoda what he wants to do.
Only he can decide now.
The chamber works
to deprive the patient
of any stimulation except from within.
Master Yoda will be taken
into an induced meditation.
This allows the patient
to go deeper than anything
we can achieve by ourselves.
Master Yoda, you don't have to do this.
Solve this puzzle I will.
But it could be more dangerous
than you realize.
The danger is not to know the truth.
See clearly I must.
Help this will.
Life signs are normal.
Beginning the procedure
What are you doing?
By reducing the flow of oxygen,
the body will be forced into
a deep meditative state.
It will take him as close
to death as possible.
I don't like this.
[Qui-Gon Jinn] Yoda.
No, this is not the way.
Come to Dagobah.
The answers you seek are here.
But why?
[Qui-Gon Jinn] You must
complete what I could not.
His vital signs are dropping too low.
- But the test.
- I want him out of there now!
Master Yoda!
[Obi-Wan]
Master Yoda, wake up!
[distorted]
Come back to us!
[Qui-Gon Jinn] Speak of
this to no one.
Trust no one.
Come to Dagobah alone.
[distorted] Master Yoda.
Master Yoda, wake up!
[coughs]
Welcome back, old friend.
Thought we lost you there.
[groans]
Speaking to the dead I was,
friends long gone.
Good friends.
How did the procedure go?
We're not certain.
Yoda seems to be under the impression
he contacted the dead
and spoke with them.
What are your thoughts
on this, Doctor?
Medically Yoda seems fine,
but I cannot speak
to his spiritual balance.
What Yoda claims is not possible.
As far as we know.
The dead are part
of the Cosmic Force
and lose their individuality.
I fear Yoda is under attack
by the Sith,
though how remains unknown
to us.
Until what's going on is clear,
I want temple guards placed
in the medical bay.
I am prescribing nothing
but bed rest
for you now, Master Yoda.
[door opens]
I will leave you two alone.
You asked for me, Master?
Yes.
Friends, we are?
Hmm?
Of course.
A choice you must make.
Worried for you I am.
Why is that?
Do for me something you must.
Blamed you will be.
What?
What must I do?
Help me to escape.
Yes.
Escape?
But you're not in prison.
No, perhaps,
but perhaps I am.
Already, all around us
the cage may be.
A journey I must make alone.
The Council will not want
you to travel at all,
alone even less.
Disobeying the Council
your expertise is.
That is why I ask
for your help.
It is the spontaneity you find so easily
which others do not.
That is what sets you apart.
Now, a walk you will take me on.
Come, come.
Where are you going?
Some fresh air I require.
It's okay.
He's with me.
I'll watch him.
[groans]
I hope I don't regret this.
[R2-D2 beeps]
Hey, Artoo,
I have a mission for you.
Doctor Nema is gonna notice
Yoda is missing
any minute now.
Get him to his ship as fast as
possible and get him out of here.
[R2-D2 beeps]
Where's Master Yoda?
What have you done?
Hey, for once,
none of this was my idea.
[dramatic music]
[animals squawking]
[squawking]
[R2-D2 beeps]
[whirs]
Yes, stay with the ship you may.
This task, for me alone it is.
[R2-D2 whirs]
[beeping]
Here I am.
Ready for my next instruction,
Master Qui-Gon.
[Qui-Gon Jinn] Yoda, my old friend,
you have come at last.
Qui-Gon Jinn.
Really you, it is?
[Qui-Gon Jinn] It is.
Losing my mind I am not?
[Qui-Gon Jinn] No, my friend.
No.
Why have you brought me here?
[Qui-Gon Jinn]
Follow the light.
The light will be your guide.
[gentle orchestral music]
Strong this planet is
with the Force.
[Qui-Gon Jinn] It is one of
the purest places in the galaxy.
How are you here?
[Qui-Gon Jinn] I am a
manifestation of the Force,
a Force that consists of two parts.
Living beings generate
the Living Force,
which in turn powers the
wellspring that is the Cosmic Force.
[squawks]
Show yourself, can you?
[Qui-Gon Jinn] I cannot.
My training was incomplete.
All energy from the Living Force
from all things that have ever lived,
feeds into the Cosmic Force,
binding everything
and communicating to us
through the midi-chlorians.
Because of this
I can speak to you now.
See the future, you can?
[Qui-Gon Jinn] I exist where
there is no future or past.
Know you who the Sith Lord is?
I can only show you a place
where the answers
will be revealed to you.
[gentle orchestral music]
[Qui-Gon Jinn]
Be wary.
Give power to that which you fear,
and it will show itself to you.
[tense music]
[eerie whooshing]
[all shouting]
[blasters firing]
[screams]
No!
No.
No.
You will die.
Sidious.
[groaning]
Sidious.
Sidious.
Join me.
There is no other way.
No.
No!
[panting]
[Qui-Gon Jinn] Yoda.
Come back to us.
Yoda.
Such darkness.
Such evil.
When will this happen?
[Qui-Gon Jinn]
It is happening right now.
It has always been happening.
With each day the Clone War wages,
evil is growing in its power.
What you felt in the cave
is merely a portion of
what the dark side now holds.
Such power.
Any hope that the Jedi
can prevail is there?
[Qui-Gon Jinn] There is
always hope, my friend,
though it often comes in forms
not looked for.
The key is knowing how to see it
and seizing that opportunity.
I have been tasked
with guiding you forward.
There can be many outcomes,
but your path is clear, Yoda.
You have been chosen,
as I was before you.
For what chosen am I?
[Qui-Gon Jinn] You will learn
to preserve your Life Force,
and so, manifest a consciousness
which will allow you
to commune with the living
after death.
How?
[Qui-Gon Jinn]
Dark times are ahead,
and forces of light must remain.
This is the path of only a few Jedi.
You will travel to one of the
origins of all life in the galaxy.
This place is where?
[Qui-Gon Jinn]
The Force will be your guide.
Good-bye, my friend.
[R2-D2 beeps]
Yes, my friend.
All right I am.
[R2-D2 beeps]
No, back to Coruscant
we are not going yet.
[R2-D2 beeps]
Afraid only begun
our long journey has.
