I know he was on his deathbed and all, but I think a quick tip like "the Emperor can shoot motherfucking electricity out of his fingers and it hurts like a bitch, so watch out for that" was well within his verbal facilities at the moment and could have been helpful for Luke to prepare for his fateful confrontation with the Sith lord.

The will of the force was that luke get shocked a bunch and the resulting guilt would spur Anakin into his redemption ergo suffering is good OP.

Vader looked down at Bigger Luke, the electricity cracking across his skin. Luke could hear Vader's voice in his mind: "Luke, my son," he said, "try spinning"

When the Emperor is all zapping Luke he's like, "Young fool. Only now - at the end - do you understand that I shoot electricity from my fingers. It's kind of my signature move and all. You will pay the price for your lack of vision!"

I also like when the Emperor makes Luke witness through the window that the Rebel fleet has been led into a trap and certain doom awaits, Luke turns back to face him and goes "No." And the Emperor has this split-second long pause like he's thinking, "What do you mean 'no?' I didn't ask you a question. Apple sure didn't fall far from the tree, this one," before going back into his sales pitch for the dark side.

This all reminds me another one of my favorite moments is when Luke reveals to Leia that Darth Vader is his father and she gasps "Your father!" with this horrified look on her face and you can just tell she's thinking "I'm glad Darth Vader isn't MY father!"

Ha!" And he goes back to making out.

the people who raised luke got massacred by storm troopers and he found their dead killed skeletons in the remains of his childhood home two separate substitute father figures pulled him into a fringe religious group and trained him as a soldier. he saw both of them die in front of him. one of them lied to him about his biological father aforementioned biological father is darth fuckin vader, who also tries to pull him into a religious order as his own soldier. vader cuts him up and tries to murder him, then decides he actually loves luke, then dies, also right in front of luke he finds out that hes been trying to bone down w his own sister he ends up accidentally trying to kill his nephew or something. said nephew becomes hitler-two luke has the most traumatic, unhealthy family life and its no shock that he retreated to an isolated monastery to squirt teal milk into his beard straight from the teat of a rocky mole-ostrich

People always mock the obvious attraction between Luke and Leia as a source of ridicule but really it's actually a pretty accurate depiction of what happens during a long-lost sibling reunion, we should be more understanding

pre-prequel: force lightning is such a deep perversion of the force that yoda and kenobi may not have even been aware of it. post-prequel: it wouldn't surprise me if yoda and kenobi just assumed there was no way luke was going to be able to take on the emperor anyway. like, they were worried about whether he'd be able to handle vader, no way the kid's gonna be able to deflect ol' palpy's finger sizzlers. just take out vader, the emperor will roast you, and then hopefully the rebs can knock down the emperor a little easier without him having a ~sith apprentice~ to lean on. post-sequel: apparently nothing matters b/c the emperor can just resurrect somewhere else after being thrown down a shaft and then having the death star blow up around him? ???????

Dagobah changed Yoda. I don't think he even remembered it. Look at the way he act compared to the prequels, constantly laughing, stealing microwave dinners, being all weird.

Chewbacca should've told Han Solo or Luke he was good friends with Yoda instead of never mentioning it once in 20 years Han Solo: "I've been from one side of the galaxy to the other and I've never seen the Force" Chewie: "I have no information one way or the other regarding this matter"

To be fair, Chewbacca saw a goblin chop two soldiers' heads off. Telling Han about that isn't going to prove the Force is real
