Favorite Darth Vader Quotation
Well, this is awkward. My favorite Darth Vader quotation coincides with my favorite Episode V quotation. Now what am I supposed to do?
No, I guess that’s okay. I have another Vader line that I like very much that I can use!
The original Anakin vs. Obi-Wan
The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner — now I am the master.
And then in the style of the ancient webcomic Surf Rat and Spencer, I have to quip, “What circle?” “You and me, we make a circle.” “No, we don’t! Two points make a line, not a circle!” “Ugh, let’s just fight!” “Fine! You were always a terrible student!” Man, I miss Surf Rat. . . .
Not actually visually stunning
Anyway, while this is the least visually stimulating duel in the entire saga, there’s a lot of emotion that goes on with it. Vader’s “Your powers are weak, old man” is another great line. More than the emotional culmination of the encounter that has been brewing for 20 years, this duel always sparked off in my imagination as I used to watch it and wonder about their last encounter, the duel over a lava pit where Vader was so horribly damaged in the first place. Episode III fulfilling my mind’s vision hasn’t reduced the drama of this moment.
Use the comlink?
