“So be it, Jedi.” I always think of Sidious’ response to Luke after the latter proclaims himself a Jedi. In particular how Palpatine says “Jedi” with such venom, as it disgusts him to his core.

[@BlackMarvel25]

I always felt that it wasn’t just Luke unleashing his Jedi fury on Vader during the last part of their duel but that he briefly did fall to the dark side and only regained control after he cut off Vaders hand and saw just how close he had come to following the same path and resolved himself back to the light side

[@michaelray3865]

Absolutely. George Lucas wrote it precisely that way. You can mark Palpy’s sadistic joy turn to fury by the expression on his face as Luke sees his fate if continued down the Dark path.

[@minnumseerrund]

Definitely. There's no such thing as "Jedi fury" - unless we're talking about Mace Windu's Vaapad, a style notoriously difficult to master to such a degree that every Jedi who used it, except Mace, fell to the dark side.

Luke did turn to the dark side. When Vader mentioned "sister, so, you have a twin sister." And her going the dark side, Luke lost his shit.

[@feiery]

“Your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong especially for……your sister. So, you have a twin sister. Obi wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete. If you won’t turn to the dark side, then perhaps she will!” I would’ve lost my shit too.

[@stepheneddington1667]

I don't think it was wrong for Luke to just stroll into Jaba's and use any force abilities that might seem to be rooted in the Dark Side. He did attempt to use diplomacy by sending 3PO and R2D2 to negotiate. Arriving at Jaba's and finding out that Jaba wouldn't see him told him there would be no negotiation with him. Luke already knew that Jaba would kill anyone he didn't agree or was willing to deal with. Plus, he most likely was able to sense that Jaba was going to give the order to kill him, so what Luke did was self defense.

[@dominickgaramella6431]

[@eds1942]

They had actually filmed an alternate final scene with Luke putting on his father’s helmet and announcing himself as the new emperor.

[@ozmozis6073]

I knew Luke was close to the dark side, as he was to the light side. When we judge Luke, we do so with the notions of the Jedi in the Republic. That's not who the Jedi were when the order was formed. They've evolved and as the dark side left it's mark on the light side, so has the opposite happened. Luke is of the new and improved Jedi, not shunning the dark but accepting that there must be a balance and I knew that's how he acted. He brought balance to the Force. Palpatine wanted to see what he wanted to in Luke; Vader was likewise blind to his son's force choice. They were both thinking in paradigms of the past. Yoda and Obi-Wan made the same mistake and underestimated Luke. It was Luke who evolved.

[@Hiipower23]

As a kid i didnt realize how close luke was to the dark side as i grew up and started getting into the lore of star wars and actually seen how close he was and for him to not to turn really makes me cry as a adult its just beautifully done the ending ROTJ really is emotional imo

[@pachalos6462]

I believe on the deathstar Anakin already came back, and he wasn't protecting Palpatine by defending him from Lukes blow. He was defending his son from the dark side.

[@tyranix9785]

The ending is so good because several competing plot points built up over time (The Emperor's plan, Vader's plan, the Alliance's plan, and Luke's plan) converge in the throne room to create a moment of doubt surrounding the outcome of the encounter and the hero's journey. ... And what better way to resolve uncertainty on screen that with ACTION.

[@hugoh26]

I love the dark empire series, this showes the enigma portrayed here perfectly. You can sum it up to the point of contact when the empreor land luke’s mind touch in the force storm on corruscant, the mind of two, one in the purest light and one in the darkest of darkness. Also it gives a good arc on how luke is able to walk the part between, so i belive luke at the end of dark empire is probably one of the most powerful of all times, also that he was closer to a grey jedi like mace windu. Also that luke and leia at the moment of using the Power of light is as close to a full potensial chosen one we will ever see. I could like parts of the last 3 movies as a close to the skywalker saga and new beginning with Rey, but only if they would make the dark empire series and let us see luke bloom into full potensial and going through and learning his fathers lessons. I mean crushing a droid in mando is cool, ripping a star destroyer from space or just crushing a at at with the force like waving your hand well thats a statment.

[@okamireader5]

I did feel that Luke was in true danger of losing himself, of getting too close to the edge and falling into the void of darkness, and forever would the Dark Side rule his destiny, as Yoda had warned him But in that critical moment, when Luke drew closer and closer to the edge as he unleashed his fury upon Vader, it was seeing his father's cybernetic hand and being reminded of his own, a physical representation of how alike they actually were and how dangerously close Luke was to becoming as trapped in the Darkness as his father had been It was sympathy, empathy, and relation and understanding about his father in a way he had not been able to before, despite Obi-wan's journals and all the secondhand accounts he'd gotten of his father. This moment helped Luke understand father more than he ever had before and it was that understanding along with the realization that taking this path to the end would be the end of himself as Luke Skywalker, aspiring Jedi, Rebel Hero, and Hope of the Galaxy Thus, he was able to regain focus and steel himself, cementing his adherence to the Light in spite of how closely he's skirted towards the Darkness and spit in the Emperor's face by his declaration that he would never turn to the Dark Side for he had become a Jedi like his father before him And Sidious, infuriated yet focused with frigid hate upon this insolent boy, could only respond by acknowledging Luke's declaration to be true by addressing him as 'Jedi'

[@nektariosh3470]

Great analysis. Thanks

[@idiocrat3744]

You know, this makes sense. Yoda pointed out correctly that Luke was always looking to the future, never mind on where he was, what he was doing. He tried to kill Jabba, the Emperor, and Vader because of a hypothetical future where his friends die or become monsters. Only when he stops this way of thinking does he realize that he's becoming a monster himself.

[@Sleeves444]

I never for a second doubted Luke

[@davelange8368]

I think this was required for Luke to bring balance, to learn that ignoring the dark side wasn't the answer. The Jedi and sith were both at fault for skewing the force the way they saw fit.

[@firstnamelastname9237]

The jedi didn’t ignore the dark. They literally had a man make a form just because he had dark tendencies so he could stay in the light and still fight effectively in his own way.

[@davelange8368]

@@firstnamelastname9237 hiding anything dark side related and not allowing the study of them, essentially pretending they didn't exist would be ignoring. And the Jedi also ignored emotions because of fear of the dark side, but both Qui-gon and Luke accepted emotions and used them to strengthen their ties to the force.

[@firstnamelastname9237]

@@davelange8368 So, not something they actually did then. Mace windu literally being a prime example of that. Juyo itself has a dark origin. Some stuff was restricted, but not that much was genuinely forbidden. Additionally, it was restricted because dark sided artifacts and knowledge can, with their mere presence, corrupt those not prepared for them. And dark sided knowledge is more likely to turn an unprepared jedi or padawan too quickly, and as evidenced by how often Luke's jedi fell to dark artifacts, the jedi of the prequel era were exactly correct in that concern. Legends wise, Luke's jedi had a TERRIBLE track record for going dark sided compared to the prequel era of jedi. It was an extremely common occurence that one was either turned dark sided, or mind controlled by someone or something. They also fully showed they existed, they just restricted access to them. So....what any rational person would do with stuff that can turn an average padawan into a knight or master level threat. But they didn't ignore emotions. As mentioned, there's literally a jedi known for his love of fighing, and not only do multiple jedi explicitly (and openly) express friendships and even familial or cultural connections. They also encourage enjoyment of things, many jedi drink and eat well, young jedi play games and have friendships, many jedi have had pets. The acceptance of the existence of emotions, but refusal to bow to them, both existed during the prequel era and in Luke's. Luke was more lax on formal and more permanent attachments like Marriage, but even in that area the jedi were not all encompassing on their strictness over it. The idea jedi tried to pretend emotions shouldn't exist is basically a fan invention, the films directly contradict that with obi wan, nearly the most traditional jedi imaginable, flat out saying he loved anikan, and how often jedi just full on ignored or encouraged the relationships people had only warning about being attached, but not about being friends or enjoying company. Jedi's usage of attachment is pretty clearly more specific than just 'oh you like person BAD.'

[@benjaminfinch4499]

The duel on the second Death Star has actually perplexed me over the last few years for one reason: when you look at the Battle of Endor as a whole, did Luke confronting the Emperor and Vader do anything that actually HELPED the Rebellion blow up the damn thing???? Seems to me like that was going to happen whether or not Vader was redeemed.

[@TheDevilofDallas666]

And this is exactly why we need a Rogue Squadron series in the Clone Wars format set between A New Hope and Return of the Jedi. Star Wars: OT OG's. Written by Filoni, with folks like Famuyiwa, Howard, and Favreau contributing. Luke's character development was great in the movies but you have three years between IV and V and one between V and VI and there's so much more to expand on for him, Leia, Han, Chewie, Lando and even Vader.

[@drkinferno72]

Im amused that bith obi wan and yoda werent gonna call luke a jedi,but palpatine would 😂

[@bobsbasscovers]

He did turn for a bit and was apprentice to the reborn emperor

[@mathewquigley9672]

Vader was not just taunting Luke in their dual. He was teaching Luke how to beat him. He wanted Luke to kill him and one day kill his master. In death he would have peace knowing there was no more pain and his evil master would pay for his crimes at the hands of his son. Vader loved his son from the second he knew of him to is last breath. Vader never wanted Luke to die or fail. He prayed Luke would embrace the darkness to gain the power to save himself and his loved ones as he wanted to do years ago for his.

[@brentlashley2138]

If Luke gave Sidious a hug and called him Grandpappy, it would've literally killed him with kindness.😂

He was on the edge - of that I have no doubt.

[@Healzmon]

The redemption of Vader was so beautiful and well done. It sucks that seeing Palpatine (one of the coolest Sith Lords) again in the new trilogy felt wrong because of the original storyline. I love the cloning concept and that whole plot line is pretty cool, it still feels bad that Vaders redemption just slowed down Palpatine rather than destroy him.

[@israelfields5721]

Luke was almost a sith it is interesting the idea if Luke had killed his father and joined the emperor and I am Glad to see that this channel is talking about it

[@jamesmeeks4852]

Great content. I feel that because Luke wasn't taken as a child to learn as a Jedi from a youngling after the Jedi Council didn't exist, Obiwan taught him realizing the mistakes of Jedi dogma. Luke was encouraged to reach out and search with his feelings/emotions allowing him to get opportunity not to be restricted by his emotions, but to embrace his personal intuitions to truly allow The Force to lead his own individual spirit to judge the situation with The Force. Not through the rules and regulations of The Council, but to experience the situations The Force allowed through his own eyes and with his own heart.

Horseshit

[@theghettogourmet6762]

Just like Yoda warned, Luke started down the Dark Path when he first went to Vespa. His choices were driven by fear, which later turned to anger during his duel with Vader and finally hatred upon discovery of their relation. And, just like Yoda warned, it forever dominated his destiny. Only it wasn't how Yoda expected it would. Luke's second confrontation with Vader on the second Death Star brought him to the brink of falling to the Sith and it was through this that Vader was able to finally fulfill the prophesy of bringing balance to the Force, not by killing Palpatine, but by Luke learning to balance the Light and Dark in himself as he stood over his defeated father and saw their true resemblance for the first time. Also, stop calling Disney 'Cannon'. It's shitty Fanfics with a billion dollar budget.

[@KepaniGrayson]

Luke came very to following in his fathers footsteps. Fortunately he was able resist going down such a dark path.

[@heavyarms55]

I never doubted Luke because it's still a movie and I couldn't imagine them having the hero of the story do that. That said, everything you say about the fight in the throne room I pretty much agree with. Luke was offered the galaxy and ultimate power, and turned it down over and over. It's what made him a hero to me as a child. Luke could have killed both of them and ruled as Emperor himself eventually, but he still picked the light, picked love, compassion, forgiveness. That's what makes Luke Skywalker a hero. Not that he beat Vader and Palpatine, but that he saved his father and stopped the emperor.

I always felt that what Palpatine felt was that because of Luke’s inexperience he was a great candidate. Unlike Anakin Luke went most of his youth ignorant of the force and the dark side, he didn’t have years to repress his feelings etc. So to that end there was no indoctrination to the Jedi for all those years. That to me would make him especially not only easily to convert but because of his emotions would be more easy to push to use them to great effect in the dark side.

Note how he highlights that Luke believed throughout that there was still good in his father and uses selflessly casts his lightsaber aside forcing Anakin to choose to be the father.

well it was in the moves but then that was ment for the story that became the leghains timeline but disny have allready have thew all of that out of the window so short sightly allready. like by the way alot of legans metral that disny threw out bascly covered so much stuff. what wat if a told you that it was like what dsiny did was bacly would be what would be like logcaly be bascly exactly like thwoing out star trek TNG DS9 and voager lore all at once out of the alpha canon offcal winndow. heck disny realy when they thew out starwars legaids was the worse move they could have done.

Emperor palpatine had yellow eyes because he slept with darth vader and got hepatitis c.

You're wrong. It wasn't done as a moment of passion for his friends. It was planned out, every move. It had to be in order to end up on that plank on the Sand Barge which is where Lukes plan came to fruition. You see Dark Side use in a moment of passion, I see cold, calculating precision, (and more than just a little plot armour). Palpatine thought Luke was stronger than Anakin because the Force is manipulated by living tissue and Vader didn't have as much as Luke did at that point.
