William Shakespeare's the Phantom Menace (2015)
“On the planet Coruscant.
Enter JEDI 1 and JEDI 2.
JEDI 1 Well met, my friend! Say, art thou well?
JEDI 2 —Indeed, As merry as the day is long. And thou?
JEDI 1 A pleasant afternoon I just have spent A’poring o’er the Jedi archives here.
JEDI 2 What is within to perk thine interest?
I do confess I find them rather dry.
JEDI 1 O, say not so! The archives are a key That opens up a world of scholarship.
JEDI 2 I never took thee for a bookish owl.
What didst thou find today t’excite thy mind?
JEDI 1... A pattern hid within the history Of our vast galaxy leap’d fore my sight.
JEDI 2 A pattern, aye?
JEDI 1 —As clear as is the sun.
It seemeth each millennium or two There is a backward movement in the Force— Indeed, in all of life—such that the things That now seem commonplace would, in some years, Seem wildly futuristic.
JEDI 2 —An example?
JEDI 1 We have technology appropriate Unto our era, and we Jedi have Th’ability to leap across large chasms.
Imagine, then, if in some future time All life betook a giant backward step: Our ships would duller seem, we Jedi would Not soar and spring as we are wont to do.MoreLess
