It's been admitted that the whole Darth Vader as Luke's daddy plot was made-up after Star Wars, but I love something in print that puts the lie to all that "certain point of view" crap.

Its been a while since I've read this book, but, IIRC, it seems to imply as well that the emperor isn't really the villian, and definiately not a sith. He was explained that he is shut away from the people and the bureaucracy/military actually is the real power. Several things were changed from this point in the story.
