     son side by side bediggin' hoth de gaze uh de Empuh'o'. Vada' bows to
     his Master.  Ah be baaad...

                              EMPEROR
               Welcome, yung Skywalker.  Ah be baaad... ah' gots' been

     den looks waaay down at Luke's binders.

                              EMPEROR
               You's no longa' need dose.  What it is, Mama!

     De Empuh'o' moshuns eva' so slightly wid his fin'a' and Luke's
     binders fall away, clatterin' t'de floo'. Luke looks waaay down at
     his own hands, free now t'reach out and grab de Empuh'o''s neck.
     He duz nodin'.

                              EMPEROR
               Guards, leave us.

     De red-cloaked guards turn and disappear behind da damn elevato'.

                              EMPEROR (to Luke)
               I'm lookin' fo'ward t'completin' yo'
               trainin'. In time ya' gots'ta call me Master.  Ah be baaad...

               Youse gravely missnatchn.  'S coo', bro. You's won't convert me
               as ya' dun did mah' fader.  Ah be baaad...

     De Empuh'o' gits waaay down fum his drone and walks down real close to
     Luke.  What it is, Mama! De Empuh'o' looks into his eyes and, fo' de fust
     time, Luke kin puh'ceive da damn evil visage widin de hood.

                              EMPEROR
               Oh, no, mah' yung Jedi.  Ya' know? You's gots'ta find dat it
               be ya' who are missnatchn.  'S coo', bro...about some great
               many wahtahmelluns.

                              VADER
               'Sup, dudes lightsaber.  Ah be baaad...

     Vada' extends some gloved hand toward da damn Empuh'o', revealin' Luke's
     lightsaber.  Ah be baaad... De Empuh'o' snatch'd it.

                              EMPEROR
               Ah, yes, some Jedi's weapon.  'S coo', bro. Much likes yo'
               fader's. By now ya' must know yo' fader
               kin neva' be turned fum de dark side.  What it is, Mama! So
               gots'ta it be wid ya'.

                              LUKE
               Youse wrong. Soon I'll be wasted...and ya'
               wid me.  What it is, Mama!

     De Empuh'o' laughs.

                              EMPEROR
               Perhaps ya' refa' to de imminent attack of
               yo' Rebel fleet.

     Luke looks down sharply.  Slap mah fro!

                              EMPEROR
               Yes...I assho' nuff ya' we are quite safe fum
               yo' homeys here.  What it is, Mama!

     Vada' looks at Luke.  What it is, Mama!

                              LUKE
               Yo' overconfidence be yo' weakness.

                              EMPEROR
               Yo' faid in yo' homeys be yo's.

                              VADER
               It be pointless t'resist, mah' son.  'S coo', bro.

     De Empuh'o' turns t'face Luke.  What it is, Mama!

                              EMPEROR (angry)
               Everydin' dat gots'ta transpired gots'ta done so
               acco'din' t'my design.  'S coo', bro. (indicates Endo')
               Yo' homeys down dere on de Sanctuary
               Moon.  'S coo', bro...

     Luke reacts. De Empuh'o' notes it.

                              EMPEROR (cont)
               ...are walkin' into some trap. As be yo' Rebel
               fleet.  Right On! It wuz ah' who allowed da damn Alliance to
               know de locashun uh de shield generato'. It

               An entire legion uh my best troops awaits
               dem.  'S coo', bro.

     Luke's look darts fum de Empuh'o' t'Vada' and, finally, t'de
     swo'd in de Empuh'o''s hand.

                              EMPEROR
               Oh...I'm afraid da damn deflecto' shield gots'ta be
               quite opuh'shunal when yo' homeys arrive.  What it is, Mama!


95   INT MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT                                95

     Lando looks wo'riedly at his alien copilot, Nien Nunb, who points
 t'de control panel and raps t'Lando.

                              LANDO

     Lando shoots some concerned look out at da damn approachin' Dead Star
     as de implicashuns uh whut he's plum said sink in.  'S coo', bro. He hits a
     switch on his comlink.

                              LANDO

     de Dead Star move off right.


98   INT DEATH STAR - EMPEROR'S THRONE ROOM                         98

               Come, boy.  Slap mah fro! See fo' yo'self.  What it is, Mama!

     side.  What it is, Mama! Luke moves t'look drough some little-ass secshun
     uh de window.

                              EMPEROR
               From here ya' gots'ta witness de final
               destrucshun uh de Alliance, and da damn end of
               yo' insignificant Rebellion.  'S coo', bro.

     Luke be in to'ment. He glances at his lightsaba' sittin' on de
     armrest uh de drone.  What it is, Mama! De Empuh'o' watches him and smiles,
     touches de lightsaber.  Ah be baaad...

                              EMPEROR
               You's wants' dis, duzn't ya'? De hate is

               moment, ya' make yo'self mo'e mah' servant.

     Vada' watches Luke in his agony.  Slap mah fro!

                              LUKE
               No.  Right On!

                              EMPEROR
               It be unavoidable.  What it is, Mama! It be yo' destiny.
               Slap mah fro! You's, likes yo' Big Daddy, are now mine.
               Right On!


104  INT EMPEROR'S TOWER - THRONE ROOM                             104

     De Empuh'o', Vader, and some ho'rified Luke watch de aerial battle
     firewo'ks out da damn window and on de viewscreens. Anoda' Rebel
     ship 'esplodes against da damn protective shield.

                              EMPEROR
               As ya' kin see, mah' yung apprentice, yo'
               homeys gots' failed. Now witness de

               battle stashun. (into comlink) Fire at will,
               Commander.  Ah be baaad...

     Luke, in shock, looks out across de surface uh de Dead Star to
     de Rebel fleet beyond.


114  INT EMPEROR'S TOWER - THRONE ROOM                             114

     Out uh de window and on de view screens, de Rebel fleet is
     bein' decimated in blindin' 'esplosions uh light and debris. But
     in here dere be no sound uh battle.  What it is, Mama! De Empuh'o'
     turns t'Luke.  What it is, Mama!

                              EMPEROR
               Yo' fleet gots'ta lost. And yo' homeys on de
               Endo' moon gots'ta not survive.  What it is, Mama! Dere be no

     Luke's eyes are full uh rage.  What it is, Mama! Vada' watches him.
     'S coo', bro.

                              EMPEROR

               waaay down wid all yo' hatred, and yo' journey
               towards de dark side gots'ta be complete.  What it is, Mama!

     Luke kin resist no longer.  Ah be baaad... De lightsaba' flies into his
     hand. He ignites it in an instant and swin's at da damn Empuh'o'. Vader's
     lightsaba' flashes into view, blockin' Luke's blow befo'e it kin
     reach de Empuh'o'. De two blades spark at contact. Luke turns to
     fight his pops.  Ah be baaad...


117  INT EMPEROR'S TOWER - THRONE ROOM                             117

     Luke and Vada' are engaged in some man-to-man duel uh lightsabers
     even mo'e vicious den de battle on Bespin.  'S coo', bro. But da damn
     yung Jedi gots'ta grown stronga' in de interim, and now de advantage
     shifts t'him.  'S coo', bro. Vada' is fo'ced back, losin' his balance,
     and be knocked waaay down de stairs. Luke stands at da damn top uh de
     stairs, eyebally to attack.

                              EMPEROR (laughin')
               Good.  Use yo' aggressive feelin's, boy.  Right On!  Let
               de hate flow drough ya'.

     Luke looks momentarily toward da damn Empuh'o', den back t'Vader,
     and realizes he be usin' de dark side.  What it is, Mama! He steps back,
     turns off his lightsaber, and relaxes, drivin' de hate fum his bein'.

                              VADER
               Obi-Wan gots'ta taught ya' sheeit.

                              LUKE
               ah' gots'ta not fight ya', fader.  Ah be baaad...

     Vada' walks back down de stairs t'Luke.  What it is, Mama!

                              VADER
               You's are unwise t'lowa' yo' defenses.

     Vada' attacks, fo'cin' Luke on de defensive.  What it is, Mama! De yung
     Jedi leaps in an amazin' reverse flip down t'de safety uh de catwalk
     over'haid. Vada' stands below him.  'S coo', bro.

                              LUKE
               Yo' doughts betray ya', fader.  Ah be baaad... ah' feel de
               baaaad in ya'...de conflict.

                              VADER
               Dere be no conflict.

                              LUKE
               You's couldn't brin' yo'self t'kill me
               befo'e, and ah' duzn't recon' ya''ll destroy me
               now.

                              VADER
               You's underestimate da damn powa' of de dark side.  What it is,
               Mama! If ya' gots'ta not fight, den ya' gots'ta meet
               yo' destiny.  Slap mah fro!

     Vada' drows de lasa' swo'd and it cuts drough de suppo'ts
     holdin' de catwalk, den returns t'Vader's hand. Luke tumbles
     t'de ground in some showa' of sparks and rolls out uh sight under
     de Empuh'o''s platfo'm.  'S coo', bro. Vada' moves t'find him.
     'S coo', bro.

                              EMPEROR (laughs)
               Good.  Good.


122  INT EMPEROR'S TOWER - THRONE ROOM                             122

     Vada' sraps de low-ceilin'ed area on de level below de
     drone, searchin' fo' Luke in de semi-darkness, his lightsaber
     held eyebally.  Slap mah fro!

                              VADER
               You's kinnot hide fo'ever, Luke.  What it is, Mama!

                              LUKE
               ah' gots'ta not fight ya'.

                              VADER
               Give yo'self t'de dark side.  What it is, Mama! It be de
               only way ya' kin save yo' homeys. Yes, yo'
               doughts betray ya'. Yo' feelin's fo' dem
               are strong. Especially fo'...

     Vada' stops and senses sump'n. Luke shuts his eyes tightly, in
     anguish.

                              VADER
               Sister.  Right On! So...ya' gots' some twin sister.  Ah be
               baaad... Yo' feelin's gots' now betrayed her, too. Obi-Wan
               wuz wise t'hide ha' from me.  What it is, Mama! Now his failure
               be complete.  What it is, Mama! If ya' gots'ta not turn t'de dark
               side, den puh'haps she will.

                              LUKE
               Never-r-r.  Right On!

     Luke ignites his lightsaba' and screams in anger, rushin' at his
     Big Daddy wid some frenzy we gots' not seen befo'e.  What it is, Mama!
     Sparks fly as Luke and Vada' fight in de cramped area.  Sheeeiit. Luke's
     hatred fo'ces Vader t'retreat out uh de low area and across some bridge
     overlookin' a vast elevato' shaft. Each stroke uh Luke's swo'd rolls his
     Big Daddy furda' toward defeat.

     De Dark Lo'd be knocked t'his knees, and as he raises his swo'd
     t'block anoda' onslaught, Luke slashes Vader's right hand off
     at da damn wrist, causin' metal and electronic parts t'fly fum de
     mechanical stump. Vader's swo'd clatters uselessly away, ova' de
     edge uh de platfo'm and into de bottomless shaft below. Luke
     moves ova' Vada' and holds de blade uh his swo'd t'de Dark
     Lo'd's droat. De Empuh'o' watches wid uncontrollable, pleased
     agitashun.

                              EMPEROR
               Good.  Right On! Yo' hate gots'ta made ya' powerful. Now,
               fulfill yo' destiny and snatch yo' fader's
               place at mah' side.  Right On!

     Luke looks at his fader's mechanical hand, den t'his own
     mechanical, brother-gloved hand, and realizes how much he is
     becomin' likes his fader.  Ah be baaad... He makes de decision fo' which he
     gots'ta spent some lifetime in preparashun. Luke steps back and hurls
     his lightsaba' away.  Slap mah fro!

                              LUKE
               Never.  Right On! I'll neva' turn t'de dark side.  What it is,
               Mama! You's've failed, Yo' 'Sup, dudeghness. ah' am some Jedi,
               likes mah' Big Daddy befo'e me.  What it is, Mama!

     De Empuh'o''s glee turns t'rage.  What it is, Mama!

                              EMPEROR
               So be it...Jedi.  Ya' know?
