AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: "I DON'T... I DON'T BELIEVE IT!"


Stunned by Yoda's abilities in the Force and the rescue of his X-wing fighter, Luke discovers that his belief in the Force and his potential gifts for using it still have a very long way to go, in this classic scene.

A selection of scenes showing Luke examining the X-wing alongside Artoo (who starts hose watering the ship down in a filmed but deleted follow-on moment). 



Deleted alternate footage, intriguingly showing reaction shots of a more surprised (and a more shocked) Luke towards Yoda and his abilities:

Rehearsal or alternate take footage shot of a non-jacketed Luke reunited with his X-wing fighter.
