INVAR - Those points you make about the movie are very important indeed and I've also followed those since day one and been fascinated by them.

The opening crawl, Vader and Emperor's communication and finally Luke and Vader's confrontation are for me the three most important parts in what the the psychologically inside the story is all about.

They also play a huge role in the development and understanding of Vader's character arc.

I must admit though, the line "The young rebel who destroyed the Death Star" is pretty bad, for me at least.

I feel as though the original dialogue is all that is needed, so I'll be very happy indeed if no change is made there.

Nice to read your thoughts on all that though :)

I actually think the line "The young rebel who destroyed the Death Star" is a great addition, as logically Emp would want to convey to Vader the significance of the danger Luke posed to them.

From Emp's P.O.V. if he was informing Vader of his sense of the future - Emp's arrogance may be that Vader had no concrete info about Luke and he was letting Vader know how dangerous Luke has already been to their Empire.

Emp suggesting Luke could destroy them was immediately rebutted by Vader reassuring Emp that Luke was just a boy - and that he had no more help in the Jedi training department. Vader may have been trying to avoid an order to destroy Luke before Vader could convince Emp to try and convert him to the Dark Side.

"We have a new enemy. The young rebel who destroyed the Death Star, Luke Skywalker".

"Yes my master."

"He could destroy us."

"He is just a boy, Obi-Wan can no longer help him".

The original dialogue works fine also - I just think that one line addition adds some depth to the reason WHY Emp considers Luke to be a danger to them both. The boy destroyed the Death Star, and - Emp may have wanted to make that point clear of who this new enemy was before mentioning his name.
