"he is not your father, he is my slave," being a literal actual thing the emperor says in the ROTJ radio drama (THAT GEORGE LUCAS EVEN HELPED WRITE) and everyone expects me to just continue to be normal about that. the fact that when vader picks up palpatine and palpatine says, "i am your master!" and vader says, "darth vader's master.... not anakin skywalker's," and i have to be normal about that. i spend time on the internet spoonfeeding what the meaning of fucking star wars is to nerds who are so boring they may well have lived their whole lives in their parents' basement eating saltines and diet dr pepper and you bitches could just go listen to the characters them damn selves blatantly state The Point Of The Story
