Luke Skywalker: I will not turn, and you’ll be forced to kill me.

Darth Vader: If that is your destiny.

Luke Skywalker: Search your feelings, Father. You can’t do this. I feel the conflict within you. Let go of your hate.

Darth Vader: It is too late for me, son. The Emperor will show you the true nature of the Force. He is your master now.

Darth Vader: The Emperor has been expecting you.

Luke Skywalker: I know, Father.

Darth Vader: So, you have accepted the truth.

Luke Skywalker: I’ve accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skywalker, my father.

Darth Vader: That name no longer has any meaning for me.

Luke Skywalker: It is the name of your true self. You’ve only forgotten. I know there is good in you. The Emperor hasn’t driven it from you fully. That was why you couldn’t destroy me. That’s why you won’t bring me to your Emperor now.

Luke Skywalker: If I don’t make it back, you’re the only hope for the Alliance.

Leia Organa: Luke, don’t talk that way. You have a power I don’t understand and could never have.

Luke Skywalker: You’re wrong, Leia. You have that power, too. In time, you’ll learn to use it as I have. The Force is strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. And my sister has it. Yes. It’s you, Leia.

Leia Organa: I know. Somehow, I’ve always known.

Luke Skywalker: Obi-Wan. Why didn’t you tell me? You told me Vader betrayed and murdered my father.
