Obi Wan: I suggest you try it again, Luke. This time, let go your conscious self - and act on instinct.

Luke: With the blast shield down, I can't even see. How am I supposed to fight?

Obi Wan: Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them. Stretch out with your feelings.

*Luke puts on the haptic sensor array.*

Obi Wan: You see, you can do it.

Han Solo: *drunk, in the corner* I call it luck.

Obi Wan: In my experience, there's no such thing as luck.

@alex681219 In the video itself it says theres a motor under each infrared module. When an object approaches the motor vibrates, stimulating the skin beneath.
