WHEE!

Hey everybody, another post from me! Yay!!

Anyway, does it bother anyone else when Vader says lines to Luke that underline his growing weakness? To me, the scene where Luke surrenders to Vader is nearly ruined by having him say two particular lines: "I MUST obey my master" and "It is too late for me, my son."

On the one hand, they lay bare a yearning inside Vader-- on the other hand, that yearning would be more powerful as an unspoken subtext.

Particularly the line "You don't know the POWER of the Dark Side" would stand better without the next line "I MUST obey my master."

And the last part of the scene will work way better without the totally false line of "It is too late for me..." -- I mean, is Vader a tough guy or an unwilling pawn?

My 2 cents. (added to all the others, I supposed).
