Well, since you're insisting on the topic: I'll go on . . .
The Empire Strikes Back was one of the first movies I ever saw, back in the midnight blue couloir of the early to mid '80s, when I was receiving affective cohesion on the hard rocks of post-postnatal happenstance. The scene above can bring tears to my eyes on an evening like this. What it formulated for and in me was that things need not be as they are; and that Yoda, in this moment of particularity, was not saying that there was another because he was referring Luke's sister or anyone or anything, or to produce a sense of or evoke a further hope, or for any wisdom: He was saying it for no reason, and the scene and the tone and the mood is what it is, with no meaning or reason whatsoever.
