Return of the Jedi: Choose Your Own Adventure
By Mina

Instinctive denial raced through Luke and his hand was going for the hilt of his lightsaber...
... and he halted the action, forcing back the burning protective anger.
He couldn't give in this easily. Leia was strong - stronger than him, he often suspected - and she wouldn't want him to throw his ethics aside to try and protect hers.
Instead, he shrank back further under the platform.
He heard Vader's growl of irritation, but where was Palpatine?
Luke frowned, glancing up at the underside of the platform. The Emperor must still be up there somewhere. Waiting - waiting to see what his second in command would do with his errant son, who refused to fight.
Palpatine was up there and Vader was down here. Which meant Palpatine was unprotected. And suddenly a third opportunity had opened up for Luke: fight his father, hide from Vader... or go after the man who was orchestrating this show.
If Luke goes after Palpatine, go to Chapter 20.
If Luke resists and stays hiding, go to Chapter 18.
