Having the original dialogue, or as much as possible, has always been something i wanted to do from the start. The new dialogue is horrible and has to go. If this idea doesn't work then it will stay as "Young Skywalker" because that line still works miles better than how its been changed for the 2004 DVDs

I agree, I remember listening to the Hologram scene for the first time on the 2004 DVDs and thinking, that was completely awful and unnecessary . Its one of my most hated changes to the trilogy and if I could Id like to discuss why.
There was no reason to add this altered dialogue.
Emperor- We have a new enemy, the young rebel who destroyed the death star. I have no doubt this boy is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker
Vader- How is that possible?
Emperor- Search your feelings Lord Vader, you will know it to be true. He could destroy us
It adds absolutely nothing to the story or the scene, it goes nowhere. The conversation worked just fine as it was, I really think it would be worth cutting out those new additions by the emperor and Vader completely and try to recreate the original conversation.
Heres the two versions
Original dialogue
Vader- What is thy biding my master?
Emperor- There is a great disturbance in the force.
Vader- I have felt it.
Emperor- We have a new enemy, Luke Skywalker
Vader- Yes my master
Emperor- He could destroy us
Vader- Hes just a boy, Obi wan can no longer help him
Emperor- The force is strong with him..The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi
Vader- If he could be turned he would become a powerful ally
Emperor- Yes..Yes he would be a great asset. Can it be done?
Vader- He will join us or die Master
