The Unmasking of Darth Vader
We had glimpses of what could be under Vader’s mask in Empire, but there’s something still so potent about Luke tenderly removing his father’s mask to reveal the ravaged man beneath the horrifying visage. At this point, Vader is broken, on his path to redemption, and preparing to breathe his last and say goodbye to his son, and seeing his true self is still such a powerful climax to the film.
