[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1108588, member: 158"] Here's my take on the ROTJ scene. Both Vader and Palpatine are attempting to turn Luke. Each one is trying to turn him for THEIR advantage. Regardless of who wins, there will be a new Sith Lord, and one dead for him to replace. Vader however, blocks the blow once Luke has given in to Palapatine. In that last instant, he realizes that he CANNOT let his son do the one thing that sealed his fate. (My guess is he kills Dooku in the same way in the Third Episode.) But why was the Emperor not afraid of Luke actually striking him down? I think he was prepared for it, and knew it was coming. Even if Vader had NOT blocked the blow, Palpatine was powerful enough to have likely blocked it himself using sheer Force alone. We see hoiw easily he manhandled Luke when he saw he couldn't be turned. Vader stops Luke's Blade not out of loyalty to his Emperor, but out of love for his son. ----------------- And back off from my Ewoks. I loved those little guys beating the :):):):) out of the Imperials. :D [/QUOTE]
