Quote #7

THE EMPEROR: Good! Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you!

If the Dark Side wanted to embroider their spiritual motto on a throw pillow, this is what it would say.

Quote #8

DARTH VADER: Obi-Wan has taught you well.

Darth Vader's trying to get a dig in at Obi-Wan here, but what he doesn't know is that he's speaking the truth. Obi-Wan was Luke's spiritual mentor: He helped Luke strengthen his faith and focus his belief in the goodness of others like a laser.

Quote #9

THE 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. Now, you will pay the price for your lack of vision.

Lack of vision? Ha. Luke's vision is his greatest strength. That's why he doesn't give into the Emperor's constant "Jump in the hate pool! The water is fine!" taunting. That's why he never gives up on his dad, either.
