Darth Vader revealing he is Luke Skywalker's father
This scene turned the entire STAR WARS story into a whole new direction, but what's remarkable about the STAR WARS trilogy is how the consistency of everything before this scene made sense, and everything led up to this scene. That being said though, fans of the original STAR WARS going in to see this sequel for the first time were stunned by this announcement, and it touched off a huge question -- is Darth Vader really Luke's father? This revelation comes toward the end of EMPIRE as Luke and Vader finally meet and battle. Vader attempts to convince Luke to join him in the battle for the Dark Side of the Force, and reveals that Obi-Wan never told him what happened to his father. Luke figured his father was dead, and when Vader reveals this truth, Luke seems to know it's true, and then cries out in agony for it not to be true. It made the whole STAR WARS series a lot more than just a bunch of spaceships and battles -- it re-emphasized the wonderful and moral story involved in the original trilogy, and set the stage for the next film, RETURN OF THE JEDI. |
