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! :)
