The reason i'm saying this is imagine your seeing empire for the very first time, as their will be people doing being younger and newer to star wars, it gives away the ending of the movie making it anticlimatic. Not only that, originally we had to wait three years musing that vader lied to luke, only to find out the horrible revelation from yoda in jedi. The first movie IV made us trust obi-wan and like him, so we would be more willing to believe that old ben was telling the truth, and vader was lying.
I wish the dialog hadn't been changed either. . . just on principle. But how does the new dialog give any more away than the original dialog? He doesn't say that Luke is your son. He refers to "Anakin Skywalker" in the third person just as in the original ("the son of Skywalker"). And, I'm sorry, the line "how is that possible" could mean anything to anyone. It hardly says: "But I'm his father and I think Padme died before she had him!"

Revenge of the sith revealed that the jedi were all too willing to lie for their own agenda, and do immoral things to achieve their ends.
The Jedi knew that a Sith was operating within the Chancellor's inner circle. How was it "immoral" of them to attempt to gain more information by requesting Anakin to report on Palpatine's doings and who he met with? They were trying to save the Republic, not the Order. Indeed, they even reluctantly realized that they might need to temporarily take control of the Senate until Palpatine's puppets were replaced by honest Senators. All of this is in the book, which is based on the screenplay by George Lucas. This "the Jedi deserved it" argument is getting sorta outta hand. I have no idea why our last few generations love to root for the bad guy so much.

So palpatine lied to him, a lie with a grain of truth.
Again, he didn't know that Padme had died of a broken heart. . . how could he? He just knew that she died. He was telling Anakin what he thought was the truth. . . though he seemed to take pleasure in doing so. . .
