Chapter 4-Final Moments
Luke felt more prepared for this encounter with his father. He was, in fact, more prepared than Vader this time. As soon as he saw him, he made many attempts to bring him back to the good side of the force.
"It is too late for me, my son." Vader claimed, as he took Luke's light saber. He seemed impressed by how nice the new saber looked. "So…you've constructed a new light saber. Very resourceful."
Luke didn't bother to respond. He was too busy studying Vader. He was hoping to find some ray of hope to act on, as they walked through the hallways. They stopped right outside a door and Vader sighed. Luke heard him. "There must be some part of you that remembers who you really are." He said, half-pleading.
Vader just shook his head, as he pushed a button. Then, he gave a small shove to Luke to get him to go inside. Hesitantly, he did. This was the last quiet moment between father and son, before they were forced into a light saber duel.
Luke stopped the duel after remembering why he had come in the first place. He deactivated his light saber and he tossed it to the floor.
Angry now, the Emperor began shooting sparks from his finger tips. "If you will not turn, you will die." He said, angrily.
Vader saw how helpless his son looked and he picked up his former Master. He threw him over the side of a power tube. Electrocuted badly, he collapsed to the floor. He saw Luke come over to him in a hurry and he said. "Leave me, my son. It is too late for me."
Shaking his head, he argued, "I've got to save you, Father."
"You already have, Luke." Anakin said, after Luke had taken the Vader mask off. Just before he died, he added, "Tell your sister, you were right about me."
Luke had a private Jedi type of funeral for Anakin in the Vader costume. He was sad that his father had died, but at the same time, he was glad Anakin had finally become good again. He had died a Jedi Knight.
