When we heard about Alderaan, we feared the worst. Princess Leia : We have no time for sorrows, Commander. You must use the information in this R-2 unit to help plan the attack- it's our only hope. Share this quote Princess Leia : General Kenobi. Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to convey my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack, and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope. [ pause ] Obi-Wan : [ to Luke ] You must learn the ways of the Force, if you're to come with me to Alderaan. Luke : Alderaan? I'm not going to Alderaan, I've gotta get *home*, it's late, I'm in for it as it is! Obi-Wan : I need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I'm getting too old for this sort of thing. Luke : Look, I can't get involved. I've got work to do. It's not that I like the Empire; I hate it, but there's nothing I can do about it
