Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Sidious? I thought not. It’s a story the Jedi would not tell you. It’s Sith and meme legend. Darth Sidious was a dark lord of the Sith. So powerful and so wise. He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side, the only thing he was afraid of was getting thrown down a 65 story reactor shaft, which of course, eventually he did. He taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him. Ironic. He survived an attack from his lightning blast, but not a fall from a great height.

[@stormthrush37]

If you will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps she will." It's interesting to think about what Obi Wan said about only Sith dealing in absolutes, because as Luke says "Never!" and attacks, he's dealing in an absolute and tapping into anger and aggression. Which is almost guaranteed what the Emperor and Darth Vader were trying to accomplish, bait Luke into acting from there. Thankfully, Luke realized what was going on and stopped when he saw what was going on.

[@tooru-kun4178]

I'm pretty sure what obi wan said was to show again how Jedi view was flawed too. Saying that only sith deal in absolute is literally saying something absolute making a big contradiction

[@stormthrush37]

@@tooru-kun4178 Agreed 100%. Either way though there were little things intentionally done in the prequels that tie into the originals and this may be one of them. Personally I took Obi Wan's prequel absolutes line slightly differently, very similar but slightly different - that the Jedi were operating from more of a dark sided place than they realized, that they had been corrupted by it themselves and didn't really even see it, which I think kind of ties into the whole Mace/Yoda exchange about how their ability to use the force was diminished. There was at least some small awareness at the top something was wrong with the Jedi, even if they ultimately didn't do or say anything about it. Speaking of a Jedi doing something dark sided, how about the end of the Mustafar duel? Leaving a crippled and helpless man alone to burn in agony and likely die? Not light sided by any definition I can think of!! Pretty dark sided in fact!

The face of Sidious turning from a sadistic grin to just sheer fucking anger always gave me goosebumps, the man is pure evil and I absolutely love it

[@oludotunjohnshowemimo434]

Luke won by refusing to kill Vader, getting his anger back under control and not allowing Palpatine the satisfaction of corrupting him to the dark side and controlling him like his dad Anakin. That act of defiance from Luke, annoyed Palpatine because he failed to manipulate and corrupt a Jedi to the dark side for the first time ever, He then proceeded to kill Luke with his force, displaying that sadistic face, later turning to anger, rage and hatred. Palpatine thought he had broken Vader to the extent that he won't fight back, boy was he wrong Anakin had finally broken free from the dark side and Palpatine's control over him, picked him up and threw him down the reactor shaft to his death. He was not going to idly stand by and let Palpatine take away what he had left of Padme, his son Luke and kill him. Luke was right, Palpatine was cocky and it became his demise in the end.

[@Jessica-wo6px]

I love this movie. A son redeeming the father whom he had idolized before learning the actual truth and deciding to love and save him despite of what he has done. The OT will always be superior!

[@wdhubb]

One of the greatest lessons I learned in life was from this scene. A father is supposed to be there for his children, no matter what. Especially in times of trouble. My dad taught me this as I watched a conversation between my parents and my father explained to my mother why Darth Vader sacrificed himself to save his son. Later, when I became a dad myself, I was still there for my children (even now as young adults) as my dad was for my brothers and me so many years prior.

[@MG-ok2bn]

luke was right about u sidious your overconfidence is your weakness

[@PopcornGirl2]

Both in the fact that his father will never abandon the dark side of the force and that Luke will switch to it.

[@TheMail518]

damn that made me almost cry vader realizing the torture of luke and how he is special to him, just like padme. He didn't want to make the same mistake losing his son. Sure, he was fighting Luke but he was ordered to by the emperor. Emperor caused so much hate to vader from being turned to the dark side, losing every single friend he possibly imagined, and his wife. Luke was the only person that Vader had so by not killing him, Vader would be free and not have chaos again. Killing the emperor made him free and prevent further mental damage. Sure, he died from killing him but it was a moment of relief and freedom.

[@ThunderBZaper]

To be honest, this fight doesn’t bring any emotion to me anymore. It’s gotten boring, and all I really care about is the music now. Mostly cause I never cared about the original trilogy in the first place, not being from that generation, but also because I rarely feel any emotion at all with these types of things so it’s kinda just “meh” at this point.

I’ll take it one step further - I think Vader’s “No!” was not only unnecessary in the 21st century version of ROTJ… it was very un-Vader like and almost made him cartoonish. Vader was at his best maintaining relatively monotone, emotionless vocalizations. The Vader “No!” - which didn’t exist in the original ROTJ version I saw in theaters in 1983 - just takes away from the Vader mystique IMHO.

[@brossy4411]

I think Vader saying “No” takes away from the non verbal communication in this scene. Even though Vader’s mask has no way of expressing emotion, the way they capture Vader makes it seem like he is pondering. He doesn’t need to say No. we already can see what is going on in his head.

[@Megrez-Alberich]

_I think Vader saying “No” takes away from the non verbal communication in this scene_ It sure does. _He doesn’t need to say No. we already can see what is going on in his head._ This alteration has nothing to do with making Vader's inner conflict more obvious. It's merely to mirror the scene in ROTS where Anakin watches as Palpatine tries to electrocute Mace Windu before begging for his life. Anakin screams "NOOOOOO!" as he ultimately decides to turn against Windu and save Palpatine instead. That's the moment when he ceases to be Anakin Skywalker and officially becomes Darth Vader. Now in ROTJ, we have Vader who screams "NoOoOooOo!!!" as he ultimately decides to turn against Palpatine and save his son instead. That's the moment when he ceases to be Darth Vader and becomes Anakin Skywalker once again. The change is purely symbolic. As Lucas explained, the 2 trilogies mirror each other, and just like poetry, they rhyme.

Having watched this in the cinema on release it was So much better and powerful before they added the stupid ‘Noo’ in.

Did we really need... No

[@MisterHowzat]

That easy access to a very dangerous drop is a definite occupational hazard. The emperor oughta sue 😂

[@IzraMurillo]

"NO" vaders first and last words

[@AzulStryer]

Both versions of this scene are great in my opinion. OG - The silence adds to Vader pondering whether he should save his son, who by all counts should despise him but sees good in him, and true to Luke's belief, Vader chooses good Edited - The one with the two "no's" adds a small but poignant addition, **the reawakening of Anakin Skywalker.** Luke went through what he did, but never turned to the dark... and right now he was going to lose Luke just like how he lost Padme, and he didn't want to fail Luke like he failed Padme

[@Jessica-wo6px]

Agree with this!

"But somehow he came back"

[@Rob-qn6od]

Luke was right that the Emperor's weakness was his overconfidence. Darth Sidious didn't see Vader coming back to the light to destroy him utterly.

And that's when Anakin brought balance to the force
