sethrakHa! I knew it! I wasn't insane! The Emperor DID say "search your feelings, you know it to be true," to Vader when we were watching the DVD of Empire Strikes Back the other day! I wasn't hallucinating, it was just another example of why George Lucas is an asshat.
List of the top ten things that need to be resolved in the final prequel, and also my vindication: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/7803983/
Specifically this portion: 2) Vader and family. When exactly does Vader figure out that Luke is his son, and why can't he sense a Force connection with Leia — especially when he tortures her in Episode Four?
One hole was tightened in Lucas' "Empire" DVD. In the theater version, the Emperor describes Luke as a "great disturbance in the Force," but doesn't really tie him to Vader.
In the new edit, the Emperor insists Luke is "the offspring of Anakin Skywalker."
"How is that possible?" asks Vader.
"Search your feelings, Lord Vader, you will know it to be true."
No, thanks. We're still wondering when Vader figures it all out.
So, I was going by the movie we'd been watching, and Dav, whom as I recall was doing other stuff as well as watching the movie, was going by his memories of the original movie. I have to admit, that scene, juxtaposed with Vader telling Luke to search his feelings, was giving me brain cramps. Because my deepest memories are also of the theatrical release. Stupid retroactive re-writing of history. Stupid george Lucas. Stupid decision not to release the REAL original trilogy on DVD..... ::poutsnarl::
