Star Wars has permanently damaged me...
You know that scene in TESB when Luke is hanging upside down in the ice cave with the beast approaching, and he uses the Force to get his light-saber out of the snowbank? My TV remote is across the room and I'm too lazy to get up it's REALLY PISSING ME OFF that I can't use the Force to have it leap into my hand. Goddamn movies, always reminding me of what I don't have...

3. You must unlearn what you have learned.
Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between your hand and the remote.

beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice.


So certain are you. Always with you it cannot be done. Hear you nothing that I say?

4. well

Luke: I can't. It's too big.

Yoda: Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.

10. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.
