"How is that possible?" -Emperor Palp and Vader during the hologram scene in Empire.
this was the line that was in the novel. it would've fit the story much better. of course, there was the EU, i support btw. but if ur going off those who don't read the EU, the line would fit better.
instead of vader saying, "And im sure skywalker is with them!" he should've said, "And im sure the jedi is with them!"
or just take that line out entirely.
Why? The revisionist dialogue is almost as poorly-delivered as it is written; why bother changing the storyline to allow for it? That Vader is aware of Skywalker's identity is supported not only by the line of dialogue that you would change, but also in the opening crawl:
- The evil lord Darth Vader,
- obsessed with finding young
- Skywalker, has dispatched
- thousands of remote probes into
- the far reaches of space...
So I don't really see how the dialogue you quoted above would've "fit the story much better" when the story itself would have to be altered or gutted to allow for it!
