Darth Vader
I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.
Darth Vader
The Force is with you, young Skywalker. But you are not a Jedi yet.
Darth Vader
You are beaten! It is useless to resist! Don't let yourself be destroyed as Obi-Wan did!
Darth Vader
If only you knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-Wan never told you about your father. NO. I AM YOUR FATHER.
Darth Vader
Apology accepted, Captain Needa.
Darth Vader
Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny!
Darth Vader
With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict, and bring order to the galaxy!

Darth vader
[Darth Vader emerges from an egg-like chamber to receive a report from General Veers.]
What is it, General?
General Veers My lord, the fleet has moved out of lightspeed. Com-Scan has detected an energy field protecting an area of the sixth planet of the Hoth system. The field is strong enough to deflect any bombardment.
Darth Vader
[Angrily]
The Rebels are alerted to our presence. Admiral Ozzel came out of lightspeed too close to the system.
General Veers He felt surprise was wiser—
Darth Vader
He is as clumsy as he is stupid. General, prepare your troops for a surface attack.
General Veers Yes, my lord. [bows and leaves quickly]
Admiral Ozzel [Vader turns to a nearby screen and calls up Admiral Ozzel and Captain Piett.]
Lord Vader, the fleet has moved out of lightspeed, and we're preparing to— [begins choking]
Darth Vader
You have failed me for the last time, Admiral. Captain Piett.
Captain Piett [nervously]
Yes, my lord.
Darth Vader
Make ready to land our troops beyond the energy shield and deploy the fleet so that nothing gets off the system. You are in command now, Admiral.
Admiral Piett [Ozzel falls down, dead]
Thank you, Lord Vader.
Admiral Piett Our ships have sighted the Millennium Falcon, my lord. But, it has entered an asteroid field and we cannot risk—
Darth Vader
Asteroids do not concern me, Admiral. I want that ship, not excuses.
Admiral Piett Yes, my lord.
Darth Vader
[stepping down on one knee in front of the Emperor's hologram]
What is thy bidding, my master?
Emperor Palpatine There is a great disturbance in the Force.
Darth Vader
I have felt it.
Emperor Palpatine We have a new enemy, the young Rebel who destroyed the Death Star. I have no doubt that this boy is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker.
Darth Vader
How is that possible?
Emperor Palpatine Search your feelings, Lord Vader. You know it to be true. [pauses] He could destroy us.
Darth Vader
He is just a boy. Obi-Wan can no longer help him.
Emperor Palpatine The Force is strong with him. The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi.
Darth Vader
If he could be turned, he would become a powerful ally.
Emperor Palpatine [intrigued]
Yes... He would be a great asset. Can it be done?
Darth Vader
He will join us or die, master.
Darth Vader
There will be a substantial reward for the one who finds the Millennium Falcon. You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want them alive. [Points at Boba Fett] No disintegrations!
Darth Vader
You may take Captain Solo to Jabba the Hutt after I have Skywalker.
He's no good to me dead.
Darth Vader
He will not be permanently damaged.
Lord Vader, what about Leia and the Wookiee?
Darth Vader
They must never again leave this city.
That was never a condition of our agreement, nor was giving Han to this bounty hunter!
Darth Vader
Perhaps you think you're being treated unfairly?
No.
Darth Vader
Good. It would be unfortunate if I have to leave a garrison here.
Darth Vader
[Han is frozen in carbonite.]
Is he alive?
[checks the readout on the carbonite slab]
Yes, he's alive... and in perfect hibernation.
Darth Vader
[to Boba Fett]
He's all yours, bounty hunter. [to Lando] Now, take the wookiee and Leia to my ship.
That wasn't part of the deal! You said the wookiee and Leia would stay under my protection!
Darth Vader
I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further. [departs in an elevator]
Darth Vader
You have learned much, young one.
You'll find I'm full of surprises.
Darth Vader
Your destiny lies with me, Skywalker. Obi-Wan knew this to be true.
No!
Darth Vader
[Darth Vader cuts off Luke's hand. Luke attempts to escape by climbing out onto a projection in the middle of a long ventilation shaft.]
There is no escape! Don't make me destroy you. Luke, you do not yet realize your importance. You've only begun to discover your power! Join me, and I will complete your training! With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict, and bring order to the galaxy.
Darth Vader
If only you knew the power of the Dark Side! Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.
He told me enough! He told me you killed him!
Darth Vader
No. I am your father!
Darth Vader
Search your feelings, you know it to be true!
Darth Vader
Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny! Join me, and together, we can rule the galaxy as father and son! Come with me. It is the only way.
Capt. Firmus Piett [Aboard the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Executor, Captain Firmus Piett reports to Admiral Kendal Ozzel.]
Admiral?
Adm. Kendel Ozzel Yes, Captain?
Piett I think we've got something, sir. The report is only a fragment, from a probe droid in the Hoth system, but it's the best lead we have.
Ozzel [growing impatient]
We have thousands of probe droids searching the galaxy. I want proof, not leads.
Piett The visuals indicate life readings.
Ozzel Ridiculous! It could mean anything. If we followed up every lead...
Piett But sir, the Hoth system is supposed to be devoid of human forms.
Darth Vader
[approaching the two officers after hearing their conversation]
You've found something?
Piett Yes, my Lord. [shows Vader the location of the power generator on Hoth]
Vader
That's it. The Rebels are there.
Ozzel My Lord, there are so many uncharted settlements. It could be smugglers. It could be...
Vader
That is the system. The Force tells me so. The Rebels are there, and I am sure Skywalker is with them. Set your course for the Hoth system. [turns to General Maximilian Veers] General Veers, prepare your men.
Vader
[referring to the carbon freezing chamber]
This facility is crude, but it should be adequate to freeze Skywalker for his journey to the Emperor.
Imperial officer Lord Vader! Ship approaching, X-wing class.
Vader
Good. Monitor Skywalker and allow him to land.
[referring to Luke Skywalker]
Lord Vader, we only use this facility for carbon freezing. You put him in there, it might kill him!
Vader
I do not want the Emperor's prize damaged. We will test it... on Captain Solo.
Piett [Admiral Piett is making his report to Darth Vader about the Rebels]
They'll be in range of our tractor beam in moments, my Lord.
Vader
Did your men deactivate the hyperdrive on the Millennium Falcon?
Piett Yes, my Lord.
Vader
Good. Prepare the boarding party and set your weapons for stun.
Piett Yes, my Lord.
