| | Using a captured Imperial shuttle, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Leia, and Luke, with a strike team of Rebels go to Endor with the intent to destroy the shield generator. Unbeknownst to them, the Emperor has set a huge number of Stormtroopers in ambush around the generator. The strike team meets up with some native tribes called "Ewoks" which are friendly and promise to aid them in attack. That night, Luke reveals to Leia that she is his sister and that he must confront Vader to turn him back to good. He turns himself in to Vader, but the Sith Lord tells him that "it is too late for me" and brings him up to the Death Star to the Emperor. The Emperor attempts to enrage Luke and turn him to evil, but Luke resists. | | Using a captured Imperial shuttle, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Leia, and Luke, with a strike team of Rebels go to Endor with the intent to destroy the shield generator.

| − | On the Death Star, the Emperor succeeds in making Luke angry and a [[lightsaber]] battle between Darth Vader and Luke begins. Luke fights mainly on the defensive, until Vader tells Luke that he cannnot be turned to the dark side, but perhaps Leia can. An enraged Luke attacks Vader, disarming him and cutting off his hand. The Emperor tells Luke to kill Vader and that if he does so, he will replace him. Luke, horrified, deactivates his lightsaber and throws it away, with the announcement "I am a Jedi, like my father before me." | + | On the Death Star, the Emperor succeeds in making Luke angry and a [[lightsaber]] battle between Darth Vader and Luke begins.

| | The Emperor retaliates with Force lightning against Luke, badly wounding him. Luke calls to his father to save him, and Vader rebels, hurling Palpatine down a reactor shaft to his death, although he is badly injured by lightning in the process. As the ''Falcon'' and several other Rebel fighters speed to the Death Star's reactor room, Darth Vader tells Luke to unmask him so that he can look at him with his own eyes; as Vader cannot survive without the helmet, he dies shortly afterward. Luke brings out his body on a shuttle just as the station explodes, and later burns it in a funeral pile on Endor. At the end, the Force spirits of Yoda, Obi-Wan, and the freed Anakin appear to Luke. | | The Emperor retaliates with Force lightning against Luke, badly wounding him.
