Luke and Vader's final lightsaber battle
The entire STAR WARS trilogy finally comes down to these final moments, when Luke is tested one last time to give in to the Dark Side of the Force, and defeat his father Darth Vader. The Emperor attempts to appeal to Luke's hatred and anger, but it is Vader himself who brings out the anger in Luke once and for all. Luke is hiding somewhere and Vader attempts to bring him out by saying that if Luke can't convert to the dark side, then perhaps his sister, Leia, will -- Luke yells in a rage "Never!" and dashes out with his lightsaber ready attacking Vader with a renewed passion. The brilliance of this sequence is what follows, and it's most noticeable because of the maturity of the musical score by composer John Williams. As Luke and Vader fight, father and son in their destined battle, Williams's score contains a dark, male chorus along with it, providing a somber backdrop on the sadness of this scene. It's the final battle between good and evil, and Luke rescues his father, finally returning to the good and leaving the Dark Side behind forever, as it is Darth Vader himself who eventually kills the Emperor. |
