There’s no mystical energy

The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands. Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they’ve obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe. I suggest we use it!

Echo Base, I’ve got something! Not much, but it could be a life form. This is Rouge Two. this is Rouge Two. Captain Solo, so you copy? Commander Skywalker, do you copy? This is Rouge Two. Good morning. Nice of you guys to drop by. Echo Base, this is Rouge Two. I found them. Repeat, I found them. Master Luke, sir, it’s good to see you fully functional again.

I call it luck. As you wish. Ye-ha! I can’t get involved! I’ve got work to do! It’s not that I like the Empire, I hate it, but there’s nothing I can do about it right now. It’s such a long way from here. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan

And what of the Rebellion? If the Rebels have obtained a complete technical readout of this station, it is possible, however unlikely, that they might find a weakness and exploit it.

I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan Partially, but it also obeys your commands. Kid, I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe there’s one all-powerful Force controlling everything. There’s no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. It’s all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense. A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master.
