“What would we do, if we couldn’t run away from our responsibilities, away from all the awful things that are happening in the Galaxy.What would we do, if we couldn’t find ways to distract ourselves from all our pain, and suffering.We would be broken…and we’d never have the strength to fight back.The Empire would shove us on the ground and we would stay they forever.But they never really have, and they never ever will, because we have hope, and in the times that we’re most upset, and feel like the entire universe is against us, we look to each other, we look to our past, we look to our future, and that reminds us what we fight for, and so we never give up.We have hope, and that is why no one will ever truly silence us.As long as hope lives in the Galaxy, evil will never be allowed to flourish.That is our life’s duty, to make sure that this hope never dies.To make sure that love, happiness and unity always prevail over hatred, pain and suffering.
The Empire rules with fear.They think that because they beat us, we will never rise higher than them.But they’re wrong.The way they beat us, is why we have risen much much higher than they could ever dream of rising.So stand, don’t let fear control you, let hope control you instead.Let us rise up together.Higher and higher each day, until they finally fall so far beneath us, they will really never rise up again.”
She met raucous applause as she finished and soon Leia was breathing in her ear,”Nice speech”,with a sly smile on her face; they departed the bridge to go prepare for their next mission.
