Luke reacts. The Emperor notes it.

Starts with the Emperor inspecting Luke's lightsaber, and ends with the Emperor saying "Your friends are walking into—"
Great Mark Hamill acting.

Mentioned: You'll be dead!
Luke's destiny is to end the Empire by ending the Emperor. How this is separate from his mission to confront Vader.
- The "Do as I say, not as I do" example set by Obi-Wan and Yoda.
- An earlier draft has ghost Obi-Wan and ghost Yoda show up to help Luke fight the Emperor.
  - Mentioned: The Simpsons.
Forced (no pun intended) transition from talking about lightsabers to why Vader can't be turned. Feels rehearsed.
Why is the Emperor (and Obi-Wan & Yoda) so confident that Vader cannot be turned? It's like being an addict.
Does Sheev still worry about personal hygiene?
- Referenced: The Naked Emperor.
The scene where Mace Windu melts his face, and the physical consequences of using the Dark side.
- Why he needs a healthy young apprentice.
Darth Vader hedging his bets.
The Emperor doesn't have years to corrupt Luke; he gives him the crash course on turning to the Dark side.
Does the Emperor have a "Darth" name picked out?
The Emperor does nothing to "sweeten the pot" to get Luke to turn.
Sanctuary moon.
Joseph will be back tomorrow.
