Revenge Of The Sith Analysis

Quite possibly one of the most iconic openings in cinematic history is “A Long time ago in a galaxy far far away.” Of course, I am referring to Star Wars.

Yoda is meaning they become a part of the force, but it could be compared to saying that those who pass will go to
