3rd person POV... (Episode 2)

In the swampy forests of Dagobah, Jedi Master Yoda stood still with his eyes closed, meditating as his lesson was still in effect. Nearby, R2-D2 gave off a few beeps and whistles, and then the sound of branches and leaves rustling overhead got his attention.

"Master Yoda! I think I got it!" Luke calls out excitedly. Yoda doesn't react except for the flicker of his ears twitching. "I think I-"

Whatever Luke was about to say was cut off as the branch he was standing on cracked, and he fell all the way to the ground with a startled cry, landing painfully on his back. R2 lets off a few beeps and Yoda sighs, walking forwards.

"No no. Concentrate you must," he says.

Luke rubs his head with a grimace before sighing dejectedly. "Ugh. I was concentrating. For a moment, I could see a path through the trees," he says, using his hands to emphasize.

"And then?" Yoda questions.

"And then? I... well, I didn't want you to miss it." Luke replies hesitantly.

"Miss it? Miss the branch, you did." Yoda points out in amusement. "Your mind, ahead of your body it was."

Luke gives off a defeated and frustrated sigh, standing up on his feet. "Alright. I'll go again," he says, stretching his arms.

"This time, go with you, I will." Yoda says, walking over to Luke's pack and belongings.

"Really?" Luke asks eagerly. "Oh, great! It'll be easier if I can follow you!"

"No. Not follow. Carry me, you will." Yoda replies, and then to Luke's bewilderment, starts climbing into his pack headfirst! "Come, come. Up we go now!" the old Jedi Master says, rather eagerly in amusement. His feet wave around in the air as he tries to correct himself.

"Carry you? Master Yoda, I can barely look out for myself up there." Luke says hesitantly, obviously unsure.

"Hmm? Then concentrate, you must!" Yoda replies, righting himself in the pack and looking out with wide eyes. "Or fall, we will. Worse for me than you, I think, Hmm?" he asks, seemingly unconcerned about the possible danger.

"I still don't know..." Luke says, still hesitant.

"Don't know do you? Hmm?" Yoda demands with narrowed eyes. "Many years before you, trained a young Jedi did I, yes! Look out for himself could he? No, but got better he did! Wonderful Jedi he became, yes!" the Jedi Master tells Luke. "Know not, you cannot!"

Luke considers before sighing, giving in to Yoda's words. He was the Master after all, and Ben told him that he was a great warrior, so he could still look out for himself... right?

"Which way should I go?" Luke asks, now standing on a high branch in the trees, with Master Yoda riding in his pack behind him.

"As in life, some paths are clear, some perilous. To step forward, walk the same path, your mind and body must," he instructs, and Luke nods along, although slightly confused.

"Now run!" Yoda says, and Luke takes off, running and leaping across the branches. He jumps to another tree and moves across the thick branch, but ducks quickly in surprise before an overhead branch could smack him and Yoda in the face, in a way that would be very painful.

"Unh! Sorry!" Luke quickly apologizes, and Yoda gazes back at him with narrowed eyes.

The branch that Luke was running on grows weaker, and suddenly cracks before he realizes it. He looks down in surprise before the branch breaks off completely, sending the two falling through the air. Both of them let off a few screams of surprise and worry, but Luke luckily manages to grab onto a passing branch a few feet thick, stopping the fall before they hit the ground.

"Aah!" he cries out, before pulling himself and Yoda back onto the branch safely, panting from the adrenaline. "I think that's enough for today."

Yoda gives off a disappointed sigh, shaking his head in disagreement. "Close your eyes." he tells Luke.

Luke widens his eyes in alarm and begins to protest. "Master, I-"

"Close them!" he snaps, and Luke does as he says, still unsure.

"Concern yourself not with what you see. Feel the Force around you. See inside the land, the trees, the branches. Feel the air." Yoda instructs. "Breathe."

Luke does so, taking in a deep breathe before exhaling, doing his best to focus on the Force around him like Master Yoda is telling him to.

"Now run!" Yoda orders, and Luke takes off again, however he has his eyes closed, with some... help from Master Yoda as well, who is holding his hands over his eyes. Listening to the Force, he allows it to help him sense the different surroundings of the forest, leaping from tree to tree and jumping across several large gaps, climbing up vines. He continues on eagerly, finding himself able to see a path much clearer, the Force helping to guide him ahead. Eventually, his path across the trees brings him back to the spot where he started, and he lands on the ground beside R2, opening his eyes with a look of excitement and disbelief. He glances back over his shoulder at Yoda.

"I could see the branches in my head. I could see a path!" he says happily.

"Hmm. Trust what you see, not what you think you see," the old master replies knowingly.

"I understand." Luke says with nod.

A small smile appears on Yoda's face. "Good. Now the vines, we shall climb. The trees, we shall jump. More difficult than before, yes."

"More trees?" Luke questions in exasperation.

"Many more. Many, many more." Yoda replies in amusement.

"Are we trying to get somewhere?" Luke asks again.

Yoda gives off a brief laugh of amusement. "Always, yes. Always," he responds rather cryptically.

"Alright," he replies, although a question has been nagging at his head. "Master Yoda, I know you've been teaching me about the Force and all of that, but is there any way I could also learn how to use a lightsaber?"

"Ha! Eager for battle are you?" Yoda exclaims.

"Well, it's just that Ben used one as well, and they are Jedi weapons right?" he asks for confirmation.

Yoda nods his head. "Yes yes, the weapon of a Jedi the lightsaber is. With the Force, a true ally it is. But a lightsaber teacher am I not!" he replies.

"Then, where will I learn that?" Luke asks with a frown.

Yoda hums thoughtfully. "Lessons from a student of mine, I have. A powerful Jedi he was, and Padawan to Obi-Wan, he was as well, yes!" he recalls fondly, a small smile on his face. "Show you lessons from him, I will."

Luke widens his eyes in surprise. "Wait, you said he was Obi-Wan's apprentice?!"

At Yoda's nod, he develops a nervous and unsure expression. "So... does that mean he's Darth Vader, like Ben told me?"

Yoda widens his eyes and quickly shakes his head. "No no, Darth Vader, he is not! Met him before, you have!" he says.

"I have?" Luke questions in bewilderment. "When?!"

"Answer later, I will." Yoda says. "Come come, the trees we will jump. The vines we will climb, follow your path we will!"

Luke wants to press for more answers but thinks better of it, giving off a defeated sigh. Master Yoda probably won't tell him until he chooses to, so he might as well go along with it.

"Ok master," he says, preparing himself for another attempt at tree jumping.
