It all started when…
I was curious to learn more about why I found The Empire Strikes Back’s story so compelling.
Moral Dilemma Setup - Han risks his life to save Luke
Character Problem - Luke is impatient, looks to the future instead of present
Character Desire - to become a Jedi
Character Goal for the movie - To prove he’s ready to be a Jedi, around the 54 minute mark
Attempt 1 - FAILURE gives up raise the xwing
Attempt 2 - FAILURE the cave
Attempt 3 - FAILURE stack rocks, but he looks to the future, not concentrating
Attempt 3 - FAILURE Commit, stay and train, not to fall into Vader’s trap
Moral Dilemma - that presses him to make this choice: the Moral Dilemma Setup in the opening scenes
Attempt 4 - SUCCESS! he chose not to “take the quick and easy path like Vader did”. He’s proved he’s ready to become a jedi.
Yoda’s wisdom comes to life: The quick and easy path is literally across a crossway to his father. The path of a Jedi is stay committed and to go down the deep, daunting tunnel
