OVER BLACK SCENE CARD

Empire Makes Training a Failure of Self-Reading

The Empire Strikes Back (1980) · Dagobah cave and training interruptions

Dagobah is not just mentor texture. The training fails whenever Luke treats power as equipment instead of self-knowledge.

Why it works

The cave, lifted ship, and interrupted lessons turn inner life into physical test. The geography teaches that the enemy is partly a misread of the self.
