"Master?"
Yes, Lord Vader, what can I do for you?
"Military intelligence reports that... the rebel responsible for the destruction of the Death Star... was Luke... Skywalker."
Oh yes. That'll be your son.
"My son??"
Yes, old friend, how many Skywalkers do you think there are in this galaxy?
"But... you told me..."
That Padme's child died with her, yes. I was lying.
"...lying."
Yep, lying through my teeth. Have you got a problem with that?
"..."
This is the Dark Side of the Force, Lord Vader! Lying is all good if it leads to more power! Have you got a problem with that? Hmmm...?
"... no, Master."
Good. Anyway, I'm not going to take moral lessons from the guy who murdered an entire kindergarten of Jedi younglings. Now, go find that kid and bring him to the Dark Side. Tell him we have cookies, if necessary.
