When Luke Skywalker surrendered to Vader's forces and was brought before Emperor Palpatine, he was overcome by the power of the dark side, actually thinking some incredibly dark things in the presence of the Sith...

This is my favorite moment in all of Star Wars, and it's why Luke is my favorite character. The Last Jedi did everything possible to undo it, and it breaks my heart.

Luke is my favorite too! I also don’t like The Last Jedi, but I do find some comfort in the fact that Luke returned to his heroic legendary self at the end on Crait, and inspired an entire generation as a Jedi Master again!

@RetneysHolocron hopefully, somebody will go back adapt Legends content for Han, Luke, and Leia. I've always wanted to see it. Keep up the great work man. I love all the videos!

I agree TLJ is a poison, and shouldn’t exist.

I hope someday someone will make the real Star Wars movies with Darth Caedus, Mara Jade, Ben Skywalker etc. The Disney movies suck.

"So you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her too. Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete. If you will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps she will" "NEVER!!!!!"😤

And people say VADER was conflicted. Luke's mind was a dark, cloudy mess here.

In the EU, Luke did join Palpatine so he could learn how to defeat the Emperor & to know why his father chose to the dark side.

I never really understood the point of Luke aboard the second Death Star. I think there are 3 possibilities, other than the one that actually played out. 1) Upon reaching the throne room, if Luke does nothing, everything would play out as it did, except he would be dead too. The rebels still would have destroyed the shield generator, the Death Star, the Emperor, and Darth Vader, anyway. 2) Luke kills Vader. In that case, why would Luke ever join Palpatine? Luke's goal was to kill him and save his friends. Joining Palpatine would not save them, as Anakin believed the dark side would have saved Padme. 3) Even if Luke was more curious about the dark side and wanted to learn from Palpatine (as in Legends), the Death Star was about to be destroyed anyway. What was Luke going to do? Order his friends to surrender or die? Palpatine would never let them live, just as with Padme.
