    I don't see how that line correlates to his conflict. He's merely making an observation

    Yeah and the pride he feels for his son starts to cool his anger for Obi-Wan, he can't be as angry with the man who taught his son. So in that sense light does enter his darkness but only for a few seconds because he's quick to remind Luke about how powerful the Emperor is. And by the end of the scene Luke deeply hurts Vader when he says 'his father is dead', what Vader feels for the light side of the Force at that particular stage is probably more complex than anyone could imagine.

    He was definitely feeling a large amount of regret at the point of ROTJ, but I think that even he was denying it. He honestly seems insecure throughout most of ROTJ, from the very beginning when Palpatine arrives and their awkward conversation, when he consults Palpatine about Luke on Endor, etc
    Everything he says, he says so slowly, cautiously. One of JEJ's finest performances

    Well, he didn't slice Luke in half then and there, so I suppose you could make that leap...

    In that whole scene, Vader is neutered, wistful, and resigned. I did not buy it in my first viewing.

    Don't forget, in his first scene he gives Moff Jerjerrod friendly advice... This is the same character who spent the entire previous film murdering his subordinates. Or rather, I should say, this is NOT the same character.

    To me, Vader was never truly a bad guy. He always had good in him, he just didn't realize.

    I don't consider the lightsabre construction comment to be particularly significant, but the Vader of ROTJ seems to me to be a more conflicted, uncertain character than the ruthlessly decisive enforcer of ANH and particularly TESB.

    Agreed wholeheartedly. Having just literally watched SW I-VI, I just can't bring myself to see him as evil. Yeah, he had done some VERY evil things, but he himself was a good person

    That's because you're viewing it wrong, you should view it IV - VI.....the end

    He is evil

    Nope, if you have watched IV-VI and then have some time to kill I guess you could then go watch I-III, fast forwarding through most of II.

    Well I'm still gonna interpret that as a poorly executed, if not offensive joke

    Offensive?

    This is the CT, anything about the PT is considered offensive round here

    The fact that I and several other people here love the entire saga begs to differ

    Whatever, we're going off topic so let's get back to what this thread is meant to discuss

    Good call Seagoat. Not the place for a viewing order debate or a PT free for all.

    That's quite probably my favorite SW fanart, yet it's fanart nonetheless
