Star Wars Ask Me Again Sometime

The gang is reunited.

• Luke, Leia, Chewbacca, and Lando risking their lives to rescue Han from Jabba the Hutt.
  • There's as well moment when Lando has fallen into the Sarlacc pit and one of its tentacles has gotten him. Han, despite the fact that Lando set him to be captured by the Empire (Which he was forced to do for the sake of the people of Deject City), does not hesitate to assistance him. Of form, Chewie likely explained the whole situation earlier, simply after what Han went through because of Lando, it would still exist a leap to let bygones be bygones.
• When Han and Chewbacca are reunited. Chewie even gives him a Behave Hug. He's merely so elated to have his best buddy back. He even "pets" Han.
• 1 of Jabba's guards is seen consoling Malakili later on his rancor is killed.
• Han was skeptical about Luke's plan to save him. Simply who can arraign him? The first plan they did together, saving Leia aboard the Expiry Star, barely worked out, and the last time they were together, Han had to relieve him from Hoth's subarctic temperatures, that once more, both barely survived. Merely afterwards they get abroad, Han is grateful, telling him "Thanks for coming later me. I owe you one."
• When the heroes are virtually to exist executed past Jabba:
• When Luke joins the rebel conference (later on realizing Leia is his sis), Leia immediately hugs him in front of everybody, notices he is looking at her intently, and asks "What is it?". Luke simply says "ask me again erstwhile."
  • The scene where he does tell her is one of the almost touching scenes in the saga.
• After Leia has been hit by blaster burn down outside the shield generator bunker and Han is kneeling over her every bit troopers shut in, she pulls out her blaster pistol and they reverse their CMofH from Empire.

  Han: I love you.
  Leia: I know.

• The final lines between Luke and Vader/Anakin. Of course they border on Tear Jerker.

  Vader: Luke... help me take... this mask off.
  Luke: Just you lot'll die.
  Vader: Zero... can stop that at present. Merely for in one case... permit me... look on y'all with my own eyes.
  (Luke does just that, revealing the pale, emaciated face of Anakin Skywalker; Anakin greets his son with a weak, but unmistakably proud grin)
  Anakin: Now... go, my son. Exit me.
  Luke: No. Yous're coming with me. I'll not get out you here, I've got to save you.
  Anakin: Yous already have, Luke. You were right. You were right about me. Tell your sister... you were correct.
  (Anakin briefly smiles again, then his face up goes limp)
  Luke: Father... I won't leave you!

  • Anakin's grinning the moment he lays his eyes on his son. It tells the states his emotion with simply one expression, he'southward proud of his children.
  • one Meta case simply Anakin'south optics are bluish when Luke removes the mask, not sith yellow, symbolizing that he had truly returned to the light and died as Anakin Skywalker and not Darth vader
  • The line that "naught can end [his decease] now" is doubly heartwarming when you remember that much of Anakin's Start of Darkness in the prequels was caused by his inability to accept death as natural and inevitable, especially the deaths of his loved ones. The scene tin be read as Anakin both coming to terms with his past and encouraging his son non to make the same mistakes.
• The original theatrical catastrophe. The highlight of the ending is when Luke joins the celebration and Leia runs up and hugs him. For some reason, the 1997 endings onward truncate and dissever up this scene. And of course, Luke seeing his father equally the human he would take been had he not turned to the dark side, sharing a friendly await with Obi-Wan then favoring his offspring with a loving smile.
  • It's kinda funny but, the updated version'due south catastrophe is simply equally charming in it's own way. The young Anakin comes onto the scene equally a Force spirit and gives anybody a rather shy smile. It's really very adorable.
  • The Special Edition ending has the entire galaxy celebrating when the second Expiry Star is destroyed, which ways that the Imperial regular army is gone and liberty and democracy take returned. It's just... the fireworks, the cheering, the energy... *sniff*

    Gungan: (in Naboo) Wesa free!!!!!

    • Fabricated fifty-fifty better when Luke sees his redeemed father's spirit, returned to the man he once was earlier he cruel to the dark side, or as the man he would have been had he not turned, depending on your preference of editions, sharing a friendly look with his quondam primary, and and then favoring his son with a loving smile.
  • C-3PO dancing with an Ewok during the commemoration.
  • At the the very end, in the final few seconds before it irises to the terminate credits, you tin can hear Leia laughing.
• Luke and Darth Vader's interaction when Luke surrenders himself. Luke tries so hard to speak to his father and bring him back from the Dark Side, even though Vader repeatedly denies that in that location's any promise left for him. Heck, the fact that he calls him "Male parent" is an indicator that some love is in that location between them.
  • The fact that we come across the first possible kernels of Obi-Wan and Yoda being wrong nearly Vader in this scene; Luke offers Vader to come with him, and for the first time beyond the unabridged trilogy, Vader'southward beat out breaks and the Nighttime Lord of the Sith seems weary, placidity, and resigned. Doubles as a Tear Jerker if y'all consider that Vader is entirely aware of how his principal operates at this point, and that Luke is his intended replacement.
• The hug betwixt Luke and Wedge, especially when you consider how Wedge and Rogue Squadron fought nonstop while Luke trained in the Force. Their relationship may have been mainly professional, but their cover is warm and brotherly, each sharing their relief and thanking the other for their tenacity.
  • Hell, including Wedge in the final celebration menstruation. He's a tertiary character at best and usually merely shows upward in a fighter cockpit, but he made it through all three movies and became a massive Ensemble Nighttime Horse doing it.
• Threepio'southward "bedtime story" for the Ewoks. Highlighted by Leia snuggling close to Han, followed by an Ewok snuggling shut to Han. Han's expression post-obit the latter becomes a Funny Moment.
  • Doubly heartwarming when you consider that, in both the sequel trilogy and the Expanded Universe, Han and Leia have a child / children together, significant Han, Leia and a little thing all cuddled together could accept been in-universe foreshadowing for what will happen afterward
• Luke's Moment of Awesome, when he declares "I am a Jedi, like my father before me," to the Emperor, also doubles as Heartwarming, since it shows to Anakin/Vader that despite all he's washed, his son still believes in his inner goodness. And when Vader's killed the Emperor and is slumped confronting the railing, clearly dying by inches, Luke crawls over to him and supports him, doing his best to aid.
• One of the, possibly, more thoughtful tweaks to Return of the Jedi was showing diverse locations jubilant the fall of Emperor Palpatine. Yes, even Mos Eisley and the Purple capital are jubilant his death.
• It's blink-and-you-miss-it, but in the second movie, Vader says, "But your hatred can destroy me." Recollect about it: it would kinda suck if your own son hated you, wouldn't information technology?
• Luke's Close Up, Hannibal! to The Emperor, but one line always stands out because of its multitude of heartwarming implications;

  Luke: I am a Jedi, like my father earlier me.

  • Darth Vader's son, who has every reason to deny fifty-fifty the remotest connection with him, has only openly, and proudly acknowledged the relationship between them. Considering he's been trying to go his son on his side for two movies now, that's gotta mean something.
  • That the homo he was, someone who has made so many terrible mistakes, is a person his son has decided is worthy of his respect and admiration. In fact, the implication of that argument is that he still considers his male parent a Jedi, and is therefore capable of redemption.
  • His son has utterly surpassed him; he's mastered himself and the ways of the Jedi, has gained power greater than his own without falling to the dark side, and has shown up alone to face the well-nigh powerful evil in the galaxy and has basically merely won by refusing to give the Emperor what he wants—how proud would that make anyone feel, to encounter their son be so epically awesome?
• How the Emperor is defeated—not through force of arms, but through the love of a father and son. Heart Is an Awesome Ability, indeed.
• This Alternating Character Interpretation: Darth Vader seemingly throwing away the fight only so Luke can win; deep downwards, he knows the Emperor expects only one of them to come out live and he isn't willing to kill his own kid, so in an act of attempted sacrifice, he toys with Luke long plenty to go him aroused and leads both of them towards the shaft, allowing Vader to put himself on the railing and allowing Luke to bargain him every blow till he cuts his arm off, allowing Luke to come out as the victor.
• Han misinterpreting Leia when she says she loves Luke, and willing to step out of the fashion when Luke returns, non knowing Luke and Leia recently found out they're brother and sister. Fifty-fifty though it would break his center to lose Leia, he loves them both so much that he'd be willing to office with his Ane True Love so she could exist with one of his best friends. If that's not love, I don't know what is. Also counts as some serious Character Development from the Han at the beginning of A New Promise.
  • And then Han's adorable shocked expression when Leia clarifies that she establish out Luke was her brother. Han met Leia presently after Alderaan was blown up, with her parents and friends. He realizes that, rather than this revelation splitting them apart, it will bring them closer together.
  • Leia maxim that she loves Luke is, in it of itself, sweet and heartwarming!
• The Japanese dub has a sweetness moment. Throughout the flick Luke respectfully calls Vader "father". But when Sidious starts torturing him, Luke calls him "dad", calling out for him every bit his kid rather than a Jedi Knight.
• The fact that Yoda gets to laissez passer abroad peacefully. Most Jedi get out fighting, or get ambushed by some bad guy or another...simply Yoda? He lies down in his home with his student next to him, falls asleep, and simply...lets go, becoming one with the Strength. If that'due south not an Obi-Wan Moment, what is?
• Luke's Big "NEVER!" when Darth Vader learns Leia'south being and muses she may exist corrupted more easily, and the rage-fueled ass-boot he delivers to the Sith after. No one is allowed to snuff his twin's low-cal.
• "Yub-Nub", the Ewok celebration song from the original catastrophe. As epic and triumphant as the wider-scale celebration in the Special Edition is, in that location's something more than personal and tight-knit most the Ewoks singing victory music for their new allies.
• It's heavily implied through an unsubtle chat that Han gave the expert word for Lando to take the role of General, making clear he is redeemed in Han'due south optics and they are buddies again. The ending even has Lando getting comport hugged upon arrival by Han and Chewbacca (who was all set to crush his windpipe for his betrayal in Empire).
• The infant Ewok.
• Han lends Lando, the guy who (nether tremendous duress with considerable regret) betrayed him into Darth Vader's hands, his beloved Millennium Falcon, to lead the fighter set on on Death Star 2. Han loves that send similar it's his child, just realizing the odds Lando will be facing, nevertheless entrusts the fastest transport in the armada to his comrade, despite all that h2o under the bridge. Solo'southward comment "I know what she means to you lot" has even more than poignancy after viewing Solo, where we see the turbulent ancestry of Han and Lando's relationship, especially their battle over the Falcon's buying. For Han to put all that aside and call back simply of the welfare of his friend is nothing short of a wonderful attestation to the power of forgiveness and true friendship.
  • In a fashion, it must also be nice for Lando to exist reunited with L3-37 after a very long time.
• An ironic fact about Vader'due south sacrifice to salvage Luke is that information technology captures the spirit of Plagueis' story. Palpatine notes that Plagueis had the power to relieve others, but his ability to save people from death did not apply to himself. In the moment that Vader killed Palpatine, he had the power to relieve Luke just non himself. However, the irony of Vader'due south state of affairs is that he was empowered to save Luke because he was at a point where saving a loved one mattered more to him than his own life. He was able to save others considering saving himself was immaterial. Palpatine and Plagueis were not equally noble in their thinking.
• When Palpatine is torturing Luke, information technology's articulate to see the moment that Anakin realizes that, for the first fourth dimension in a quarter of a century, somebody needs him. And non just anyone, but his son. And Padmé's son. Who loves him. And in that moment of realization, Darth Vader is no more than, and Anakin Skywalker is back.
