While DloraH is correct, you should try your own translations, I cannot
resist.

"In the same way..." doesn't make sense out of context.  Therefore I will
ignore it.

*Luke, wa'maH loS DoD wejmaH wej

chotlha'meH Hoch Daghajbogh DalonnIS.  Dalonbe'chugh chotlha'laHbe'.

Hmm, "my follower" may mean more than the literal "you follow me."  It makes
me think of /lalDan rewbe'/ or something.  No, eww, I don't like that.
Let's up the Klingon ethos a notch:

mangghomwIj DamuvmeH Hoch may'luchlIj DalonnIS.  Dalonbe'chugh, jIHvaD
bISuvlaHbe'.

There, much better!  :)
