[QUOTE="The Serge, post: 1555967, member: 4049"] [i]Star Wars: Return of the Jedi when Palpatine almost kills Luke, and talks trash the entire time![/i]: Luke stares defiantly at the Emperor as his father's broken breathing hissing behind him. A look of shock and rage lurks across the Emperor's face before the decripid old man's visage becomes one of resolve. Palpatine slowly points at Luke with one hand. The Emperor says, "If you will not be turned," he lifts the other hand and Luke senses... something, "you will be [i]destroyed![/i]" Bolts of lightning surge from the Emperor's crooked fingers, blasting into Luke and knocking over a pylon. The pain is... immeasurable. Although Luke can smell the burning flesh -- his burning flesh -- the real pain is within his soul. It's been scorched by something unknown and yet terribly familiar. He tries to struggle to his feet, but his limbs will not respond. Even if they did, he would have fallen back to the ground for another bolt of energy arcs across his pain wracked body. He hears the Emperor's voice. "Young fool. Only now, at the end, do you understand." Again, the dark energy tortures him. Luke screams. He never screamed so loud. Never screamed so hard. Never felt such pain. It hurt more than seeing his aunt and uncle's bodies. It hurt more than learning the truth of his heritage. It hurt more than anything. He hears the Emperor's padded footsteps. "Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side!" the Dark Lord of the Sith declares as he punctuates his statement with more of the assault. "You will pay for your lack of vision!" Now the bombardment is an endless stream of agony. In the back of Lukes mind, he knows that his father stirs. He cries out, "Father, help me! Father, please!" But there is no salvation. There is no release. Just the torment. Abruptly it stops. Luke can't see the Emperor's face. But, if he could, he would have seen the wrinkled face, filled with merciless Evil staring down with him with nothing but contempt. But, he hears the voice. The soulless voice. "And now young Skywalker... [i]You will die[/]." Luke can hear the smile slither onto the Emperor's face. He can hear the skin crack and peel. Then, he knows only agony.[/i] [/QUOTE]
