4.) When Vader tells the Emperor Luke is on Endor with the revels the Emperor says it's strange he hadn't sensed him.  Yet a few lines later he tells Vader to go down and wait for Luke because he will go to him.  He knows this because he'd foreseen it.  It's always seemed like a contradiction to me.  One of these lines needs to be removed.

To me, the contradiction is meant to show us that the Emporer isn't all-knowing, and that he's starting to make things up as he goes along. 

Interesting. I used to figure Empy had forseen Luke coming to Vader, but didn't know when it was going to happen. When he found out Luke was on Endor, he figured this must be the time. He's more into the forseeing than he is into the sensing.
