Luke's shock (EpV)

point taken, however, i must reiterate that your point just makes luke suck that much more. i mean your right he is "more machine than man" and decaying and all that other good stuff, but luke is a boy in the prime of life getting his hand cut off by a huge cumbersome vending machine that talks. luke sucks (wah i wanted go to tochi station and pick up some power converters wah im luke wah)

 

and besides no matter how right you may be, that scene is still hilarious and i bust up everytime.

I think that the scene in question was probably the most powerful in the series.

 

And the acting in it beats that scene in EP II after Anakin returns to Padme after slaughtering the Tusken Raiders, for believability anyway.

 

 

but hands down the funniest scene in ep V is just before the vader cuts off lukes hand, its as they are fighting on that little bridge and vader is pushing luke back and there is this scene where vader puts the saber over his shoulder and swings it vertically and his whole upper body just lunges forward. he is supposed to be one of the greatest jedi ever, no doubt superb with a lightsaber, but that move just looks so cumbersome its hilarious! and then he cuts off lukes hand! how bad must luke suck with a lightsaber to lose a hand after that move?

 

Vader might not be as agile as B4 he was burned, but lets not discount the advantages of size and power. He was probably not as schooled in the sabre art as Dooku was, but sometimes sheer brute force can be just as effective as speed and finesse. And Luke probably wasn't the greatest fighter at that stage of his training either.

I had always thought you would have worse than the dramatic girl-with-tears-sadness face if you never knew about your father and learned some evil, twisted, god-forsaken idiot from Hell (excuse my language towards Darth Vader. He's a good Sith Lord IMHO but I'm using examples) is actually your Father who's torturing your friends. That's what I believe. So I can understand Luke at that moment when Vader revealed the truth. And with Luke being mentally tortured by the Emperor and Vader (Episode 6 - Return of the Jedi) about the Rebellion losing (which didn't) and the friends'll be captured, tortured, and then dead (also which didn't happen as such), which is how I understand his hate mading him powerful in the end to kick Vader's butt and sever his mechanical hand.

Yeah in Return of The Jedi, Darth Vader probes Luke's mind and finds out about his sister, then tells him that if he will not join then perhaps his sister would. This naturally is enough to snap him and make him tap into the dark side. It is only until after he has brought down Vader that he realizes how terrible it is.

I remember Luke making that face. Oh, man. It was the funniest thing I had seen. It was all scrunched up and... kinda disturbing actually. I wonder what Mark Hamill musta thunk about it after he saw the movie. Heh.
