Love how the entire Galaxy sees Darth Vader as super scary and menacing, but the second he starts interacting with Leia he starts acting like a father catching his daughter misbehaving and lying about it; and the best part is that this was just a coincidence, in both, in universe and in real life. It feels like fate, born to be father and daughter without even knowing it from the very first scene

Hello! I'm not sure if you've been asked this before, but I was wondering what your favorite movie from the original trilogy is and why, and also what your favorite scene(s) is in that movie and why!

Empire is not just my favorite Star Wars film, but very likely my favorite movie of all time. I've posted it before but I absolutely love this little scene. Quite eerie but with a sense of pathos, the full orchestra temporarily dying out from the grander scene of The Falcon escaping Bespin into these faint woodwinds as Vader calls out to Luke, macro to micro. Looking at the music: The Imperial March played on that tiny flute in the background is quite curious, because it is the softest and most emotionally resonant that the cue has in the entire film. It is usually played strongly with gravitas or with impending doom, quite Wagner-esque, so there is significance of it being so quiet and gentle - it is clear to me that Williams definitely believed that there was no lie, Vader was Luke's father, and this little sound was the connecting line that echoed what came before: if it were a lie, it would be stronger and more sinister, but this is gentle, somber, like a haunting lullaby.

George Lucas has stated that Luke losing his hand is specifically meant to be a castration analogy, where the man tries to prove his worth and fails and is cut back down to boyhood, having to start over in his quest. Which connects quite well with how this cue of The Imperial March is used in the film, the boy in Luke instinctively calling out for his father, despite his adamant and tearful denial only a few minutes prior.

We don't really get to see a ton of how the ramifications of all of this effects Luke in the movies; we are definitely told some and get hints but much of it happens off screen. We see Yoda confirm what he already knows to be true (although, imho, mainly for the audience) and some brief anger with Obi-Wan. We see that he has grown with a new demeanor and confidence. The 2020 comics go into it somewhat more, but on screen, I think that this is where we get to see some hints of that; the despair, pain, longing, and confusion. But also, this is one of the few times where we do get to see a hint of father and son speaking plainly to one another. The stakes are high in the overall scene but it is conversational and natural, a strange juxtaposition.

It is a small little moment that lingers, at least with me.
