[Luke has stepped out of the Ewok party. Leia joins him.]
Princess Leia Organa: Luke, what's wrong?
Luke Skywalker: Leia, do you remember your mother? Your real mother?
Princess Leia Organa: Just a little bit. She died when I was very young.
Luke Skywalker: What do you remember?
Princess Leia Organa: Just images, really. Feelings.
Luke Skywalker: Tell me.
Princess Leia Organa: She was very beautiful. Kind, but sad. Why are you asking me all this?
Luke Skywalker: I have no memory of my mother. I never knew her.
Princess Leia Organa: Luke, tell me. What's troubling you?
Luke Skywalker: Vader's here. Now, on this moon.
Princess Leia Organa: How do you know?
Luke Skywalker: I felt his presence. He's come for me. He can feel when I'm near. That's why I have to go. As long as I stay, I'm endangering the group and our mission here. I have to face him.
Princess Leia Organa: Why?
Luke Skywalker: He's my father.
Princess Leia Organa: [disgusted] Your father?!
Luke Skywalker: There's more. It won't be easy for you to hear it, but you must. If I don't make it back, you're the only hope for the Alliance.
Princess Leia Organa: Luke, don't talk that way! You have a power I don't understand and could never have.
Luke Skywalker: You're wrong, Leia. You have that power too. In time you'll learn to use it as I have. The Force is strong in my family. My father has it. I have it and... [looks directly at Leia] My sister has it. [waits for the words to sink in] Yes. It's you, Leia.
Princess Leia Organa: [astonished] I know. Somehow, I've always known.
Luke Skywalker: Then you know why I have to face him.
Princess Leia Organa: No! Luke, run away, far away! If he can feel your presence, then leave this place! I wish I could go with you.
Luke Skywalker: No, you don't. You've always been strong.
Princess Leia Organa: But why must you confront him?
Luke Skywalker: Because there is good in him. I've felt it. He won't turn me over to the Emperor. I can save him. I can turn him back to the good side. I have to try. [kisses Leia on the cheek, then leaves]
[A moment later, Han approaches Leia.]]
Han Solo: Hey, what's goin' on?
Princess Leia Organa: Nothing. I just want to be alone for a little while.
Han Solo: Nothing? Come on, tell me. What's goin' on?
Princess Leia Organa: [distressed] I... I can't tell you!
Han Solo: [angrily] What, could you tell Luke? Is that who you could tell?
Princess Leia Organa: [crying] I— [turns away from Han]
Han Solo: [grunts angrily and starts to storm away, but stops and returns to Leia a moment later] I'm sorry.
Princess Leia Organa: [leaning against Han] Hold me.
