[Music]
we've entered the Alderaan system
governor talk I should be expected to
find you holding Vader's leash I
recognized your foul stench when I was
brought on board charming to the last
you don't know how hard I found it
signing the order to terminate your life
surprised you had the courage to take
the responsibility yourself
Princess Leia before your execution I
would like you to be my guest at a
ceremony that will make this special
station operational no star system will
dare oppose the Emperor now the more you
tighten your grip Tarkin the more star
systems will skip to your fingers not
after we demonstrate the power of this
station in a way you have determined the
choice of the planet that will be
destroyed first since you are reluctant
to provide us with the location of the
rebel base I have chosen to test this
stations destructive power on your home
planet of Alderaan
no although it is peaceful we have no
weapons you can you are another target a
visitor a target then name the system I
grow tired of asking this so it will be
the last time where is the rebel base
[Music]
Dantooine your own Dantooine
there you see lord Vader she can be
reasonable continue with the operation
you may fire when ready
what you're far too trusting Dantooine
is too remote to make an effective
demonstration don't worry we will deal
with your rebel friends soon enough
commence primary
[Applause]
[Music]
remember and yet I can feel the force
hokey religions and ancient weapons are
no match for a good blaster at your side
kid you don't believe in the force do
you kid I've flown from one side of this
galaxy to the other I've seen a lot of
strange stuff but I've never seen
anything to make me believe there's one
all-powerful force controlling
everything there's no mystical energy
field controls my destiny it's all a lot
of simple tricks and nonsense I suggest
you try it again Luke this time let go
your conscious self and act on instinct
with the blast shield down I can't even
see how am I supposed to fight your eyes
can deceive you don't trust them stretch
out with your feelings
[Music]
see Julie I call it luck in my
experience there's no such thing as luck
look good against remotes is one thing
good against the living it's something
else
looks like my coming up on Alderaan
you know I did feel something I could
almost see the remote let's go
you've taken your first step into a
larger world
I should be expected to find you holding
Vader's leash I should be expected to
find you holding Vader's leash leash
this is a piece of rope or cord used for
holding a dog or another animal but
metaphorically and as it's used in this
scene to hold someone's leash means to
watch and control the behavior of
someone I recognized your foul stench
when I was brought on board foul stench
stench describes a very bad smell
for example the stench of rotting meat
it can also be used metaphorically to
refer to an unpleasant situation as in
the example of the stench of corruption
fowl in this case emphasizes or
intensifies the meaning of stench which
already carries a strong connotation
this word is most commonly used as an
adjective to describe a bad smell but
it's also used together with several
different words to mean bad as in foul
language meaning filled with cursing or
bad words other common uses include foul
mouth when one says a lot of bad words
or foul play dishonest or unlawful
behavior on board on a ship train
aircraft or spacecraft this phrase is
used with different verbs like to be get
brain on board which defines the nature
of the action job
charming very pleasant or appealing
making you feel attracted to someone or
something
for example there's something so
charming about her personality that
makes everybody like her to the last to
the end especially to the end of one's
life example although she was very sick
she was good spirited and cheerful to
the last no this expression isn't very
common no style system of data posed the
Implanon
dare to to do something that others
aren't brave enough to attempt doing
example we didn't dare to complain the
more you tighten your grip the more star
systems will slip through your fingers
to grip is to hold something with your
hands if you tighten your grip it means
you hold something more firmly and
strongly just slip through your fingers
like in this picture is when something
you possess or near the possess
unexpectedly escapes the idea lay is
expressing here is a very visual one the
tighter you hold something the more
pressure you apply to it and therefore
that will push whatever you are keeping
inside of your hand to slip or escape
through your fingers what she means by
this is that as governor Tarkin exerts
more control over the galaxy the more
star systems will escape his control
just a quick interruption if you are
enjoying this lesson please let us know
by liking it and I also have a big
challenge for you not that big actually
I would like you to comment down below
making an example sentence with one of
the new expressions that you learn today
we might even correct it for you alright
let's jump back into the lesson since
you are reluctant to provide us with the
location of the rebel base reluctant now
willing or feeling doubt about doing
something example she was reluctant to
leave a tip for the waiter I have chosen
to test this stations destructive power
on your home planet of alderaan home
planet when we refer to our place or
region of origin we normally put home
before it in this way it's common to
hear hometown as one word or home city
or country
tired of asking this so it could be the
last time to retire to grow in this case
means to gradually become too retired is
a very common combination of these words
example as he watched more and more
learning as with TV series videos
understanding natives grew a lot easier
your photo trust den tween is too remote
to make an effective buddy
trusting tending to believe that other
people are honest good etc and without
the suspicion that they could harm you
or deceive you example learners should
not be so trusting of schools that
promise fluency in a question of months
we will deal with your rebel friends
soon deal with something to do a certain
task that might be either slightly or
completely unpleasant to you to handle
or take care of something example
although a lot of learners don't want to
deal with grammar it is an important
part of the process commence for a word
that means to begin example the
televised participant shall debate will
commence in 30 minutes remember a Jedi
can feel the force flowing through a
Jedi a member of the mystical Knightly
order in the Star Wars films trained to
guard peace and justice in the universe
the force in Star Wars the forces in
energy field created by all living
things it surrounds us and penetrates us
it connects the entire galaxy
but it also obeys your commands to obey
a command a command is an order to obey
means to do what you're told to the
meaning of these two words make them
naturally combine with each other other
common collocations uses of obey are to
obey an instruction or order or to obey
the laws or rules
[Music]
hokey religions and ancient weapons are
no match for a good blaster at your side
kid
hokey refers to something that is
sentimental in an exaggerated way a more
common way to say this nowadays is
cheesy to be no match for something if a
person or something is no match for
another person or something it means
they can't compete since one is so much
better or more advanced than the other
one example most boxers were no match
for Mike Tyson when he was in his prime
I've never seen a lot of strange stuff
I've seen a lot of strange I've ever
seen a lot of strange stuff it's all a
lot of simple tricks and nonsense it's
all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense
nonsense words or ideas that have no
meaning and are not true silly or stupid
example I don't believe in any
superstitious nonsense like Friday the
13th being an unlucky day or breaking a
mirror will bring you 7 years of bad
luck
with the blast shield down I can't even
see how am I supposed to fight blaster
shield a shield as a protective barrier
against enemy fire in this case blast
which takes the form of laser likes
bullets a blaster referenced earlier is
weapon that shoots blasts your eyes can
deceive you don't trust them deceive to
make someone believe something that is
not true example be sure to check the
facts before you believe a new story
many media sources are known to deceive
people with lies stretch out with your
feelings stretch out to put your arms
legs etc and positions that make the
muscles long and tight hear the phrase
stretch out with your feelings means to
connect or listen to your feelings or
intuition rather than rational instinct
in my experience there's no such thing
as luck there's no such thing as used to
say that something doesn't exist example
there's no such thing as magic results
when you're trying to achieve something
difficult all there is is consistency
dedication and hard work
[Music]
we've entered the Alderaan system natok
I should expected to find you holding
Vader's leash I recognized your foul
stench when I was brought on board
charming to the last you don't know how
hard I found it signing the order to
terminate your life surprised you had
the courage to take the responsibility
yourself princess Leah before your
execution I would like you to be my
guest at a ceremony that will make this
battle station operational no star
system will dare oppose the Emperor now
the more you tighten your grip Tarkin
the more star systems will slip through
your fingers not after we demonstrate
the power of this dish in a way you have
determined the choice of the planet
that'll be destroyed first since you are
reluctant to provide us with the
location of the rebel base I have chosen
to test this stations destructive power
on your home planet of Alderaan No all
we need is peace but we have no weapons
you can you will have another target a
visitor a target then name the system I
grow tired of asking this so it will be
the last time where is the rebel base
[Music]
Dantooine they're on Dantooine
there you see lord Vader she can be
reasonable continue with the operation
you may fire when ready what you're far
too trusting
Dantooine is too remote to make an
effective illustration but don't worry
we will deal with your rebel friends
soon enough
commence primary agent
[Music]
remember a Jedi can feel the force
flowing through him you control your
actions harshly but it also obeys your
commands hokey religions and ancient
weapons are no match for a good blaster
at your side kid you don't believe in
the force do you kid I've flown from one
side of this galaxy to the other I've
seen a lot of strange stuff but I've
never seen anything to make me believe
there's one all-powerful force
controlling everything there's no
mystical energy field controls my
destiny it's all a lot of simple tricks
and nonsense I suggest you try it again
Luke this time let go your conscious
self and act on instinct
but the blast shield down I can't even
see how am I supposed to fight your eyes
can deceive you don't trust them stretch
out with your feelings
do it I call it luck in my experience
there's no such thing as luck look good
against remotes is one thing good
against the living it's something else
