Daily Dialogue — December 19, 2010

EMPEROR: If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed. Young fool… only now, at the end, do you understand. Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the dark side. You have paid the price for your lack of vision.
LUKE: Father, please. Help me.
EMPEROR: Now, young Skywalker…you will die.

 — Emperor (Ian McDiarmid), Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Star Wars: Episode VI — The Return of the Jedi (1983), screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and George Lucas, story by George Lucas

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is Protagonist-Nemesis showdowns, suggested by Jonathan.

Trivia: When Vader saves Skywalker by killing Palpatine, he fulfills the Jedi prophecy. He destroys the embodiment of the Dark Side and returns to the light. In doing so, he brings balance to the Force, just as the prophecy predicted.
