The First Half of Act II

Act I of STAR WARS ends with Luke joining Obi-Wan on his quest to deliver the Death Star plans to the Rebel Alliance,
save the Princess and become trained in the arts of the Jedi Knight. Starting with our Central Question -- Will Luke be-
come a Jedi, save the Princess and destroy the Death Star?
-- lets look at the plot points in the first half of Act II:

Will Luke become a Jedi, save the Princess and destroy the Death Star?

YES HE WILL - He goes to Mos Eisley with Obi Wan and the droids. Heʼs on the way to becoming a Jedi!
Heʼs going save the Princess! Heʼs going to blow up the Death Star! Only. . .

NO HE WONʼT - They are stopped by Stormtroopers. Theyʼre going to get caught. Heʼs failed the Central
Question. Itʼs over. Only. . .

YES HE WILL - Obi Wan uses the Force and they get past. Heʼs going to become a Jedi! Heʼs going to save
the Princess! Heʼs gonna blow up the Death Star! Only. . .

NO HE WONʼT - They go to the bar and Luke is attacked. Heʼs failed again. Only. . .

YES HE WILL - Obi Wan Saves him, they find Han Solo and make a deal to leave.

NO HE WONʼT - Han is stopped by Greedo who wants to kill him. Disaster! Only. . .

YES HE WILL - Han kills Greedo. Luke sells his speeder and they have enough money for the moment.

Heʼs going to become a Jedi! Heʼs going to save the Princess! Heʼs going blow up the
Death Star! Only. . .

Back and forth -- push and pull -- give and take -- for every action, there is an opposite. . .you get the idea.
