Ugh. Any chance of getting McDiarmid to record the line? ;-)
Not willing to reconsider “the son of Anakin Skywalker”? How about “the Rebel Skywalker”? We’ve got to be able to come up with something more fitting than “young.”
Here’s an outside-of-the-box idea. They both know who they’re talking about, right?
VADER: What is thy bidding, my master?
EMPEROR: There is a great disturbance in the Force.
VADER: I have felt it.
EMPEROR: We have a new enemy.
VADER: Yes, my master.
EMPEROR: He could destroy us.
VADER: He's 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. He would be a great asset. Can it be done?
VADER: He will join us or die, my master.
I’ll keep trying to come up with other alternatives. What are acceptable audio sources for the Emperor’s voice? Musical Journey has been ruled out. How about ROTS and ROTJ?
I was actually just thinking of that (omitting Luke's reference entirely, in the beginning part of the dialog), as I was reading through this page. It'd work pretty damn well, IMHO...
why we all up in debate about this?
adywan has it basically written out as it is in the novel with a few minor changes. why wouldn't he use young skywalker? or even young rebel who destroyed the death star? at least with that he won't mention his name.
here, i'll give u the exact lines from the novel for u guys:
VADER: What is thy bidding, my master?
EMPEROR: There is a grave disturbance in the Force.
VADER: I have felt it.
EMPEROR: Our situation is most precarious. We have a new enemy who could bring about our destruction.
VADER: Our destruction? Who?
EMPEROR: The son of Skywalker. You must destroy him or he will be our undoing.
VADER: He's just a boy. Obi-Wan could not have taught him so much that-. Emperor cuts in
EMPEROR: The Force is strong in him. He must be destroyed.
VADER: If he could be turned, he would be a powerful ally.
EMPEROR: Yes...yes. He would be a great asset. Can it be done?
VADER: He will join us or die, my master.
