After Luke has rescued Han from Jabba the Hutt (q.v.), he returns to the swamp planet of Dagobah, to fulfil a promise made to aging Jedi Master Yoda that he would return and finish his training.

You could be forgiven for thinking what a waste of time, as Yoda tells him that "No more training do you require." Importantly though, Luke is told that he is not a Jedi yet. In order to become a Jedi, he must confront and defeat Darth Vader and the Emperor. I am not sure if any other Jedi initiation was as hard as this, but there you go!

Yoda is looking more withered than when Luke first met him, and he informs Luke that no matter how strong he is with the force, he cannot prevent time from taking his life indefinitely.

Yoda gets into his bed for the last time, while Luke asks him whether Darth Vader really is his father or not. Yoda replies with "Yes, your father he is. Told you did he?" Yoda’s voice then starts to get weak and now, with his last words, he tells Luke that there is another Skywalker, but before he can tell Luke the name, then he dies in his bed – the melodramatic little scamp! To add to the mystery of the Jedi, when he does finally die, his corpse disappears and joins the long list of Jedi in the afterlife.
