Star Wars - Episode VI - Return of the Jedi Quotes
Admiral Ackbar: You can see here, the Death Star orbiting the forest moon of Endor. Although, the weapon systems on this Death Star or not yet operational, the Death Star does have a strong defense mechanism. It is protected by an energy shield which is generated from the nearby forest moon of Endor. [the projector shows the DeathStar and the yellow lights indicating the sheild]
Admiral Ackbar: The sheild must be deactivated, if any attack is to be attempted. [the projector enlarges the Death Star image]
Admiral Ackbar: Once the shield is down, our cruisers will create a perimeter, while our fighters fly into the superstructure and attempt to knock out the main reactor.

Darth Vader: You cannot hide forever, Luke.
Luke: I will not fight you.
Darth Vader: Give yourself to the Dark Side. It is the only way you can save your friends. Yes, your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for... sister. So, you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her, too. Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete. If you will not turn to the Dark Side... then perhaps she will...
Luke: [igniting light saber, screams] NO!

[Han and Chewbacca are reunited]
Han Solo: Chewie! I can't see, pal. What's going on? Luke? Luke's crazy! He can't even take care of himself, much less rescue anybody. A Jedi Knight? I'm out of it for a little while, and everyone gets delusions of grandieur!

Luke : [ approaching R2-D2 ] I can't do it, R2. I can't go on alone.
Obi-Wan : [ from out of sight ] Yoda and I will always be with you.
Luke : Obi-Wan. [ Obi-Wan's spirit approaches Luke ]
Luke : Ben! Why didn't you tell me? You told me that Darth Vader betrayed and murdered my father.
Obi-Wan : Your father... was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and "became" Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So what I told you was true... from a certain point of view.
Luke : A certain point of view?
Obi-Wan : Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view. Anakin was a good friend. When I first met him, your father was already a great pilot. But I was amazed how strongly the Force was with him. I took it upon myself to train him as a Jedi. I thought that I could instruct him just as well as Yoda. I was wrong.
Luke : There is still good in him.
Obi-Wan : He's more machine now than man. His mind is twisted and evil.
Luke : I can't do it, Ben.
Obi-Wan : You cannot escape your destiny. You must face Darth Vader again.
Luke : I can't kill my own father.
Obi-Wan : Then the Emperor has already won. You were our only hope.
Luke : Yoda spoke of another.
Obi-Wan : The other he spoke of is your twin sister.
Luke : But I have no sister.
Obi-Wan : Hmm. To protect you both from the Emperor, you were hidden from your father when you were born. The Emperor knew, as I did, if Anakin were to have any offspring, they would be a threat to him. That is the reason why your sister remained safely anonymous.
Obi-Wan : [ from out of sight ] Yoda and I will always be with you.

Darth Vader : Luke... help me take this mask off.
Luke : But you'll die.
Darth Vader : Nothing... can stop that now. Just for once... let me... look on you with my *own* eyes. [ Luke takes off Darth Vader's mask one piece at a time. Underneath, Luke sees the face of a pale, scarred, bald-headed, old man - his father, Anakin. Anakin sadly looks at Luke ]
Anakin : Now... go, my son. Leave me.
Luke : No. You're coming with me. I'll not leave you here, I've got to save you.

Luke : I feel his presence. But he also can feel mine. He's come for me. He can feel when I'm near. That's why I have to go. As long as I stay, I'm endangering the group and our mission. I have to face him.
