"Luke, help me take this mask off." Vader's modulated voice pleaded. "But you'll die." Luke said.<br/><br/>"Nothing...can stop that now..please..let me..for once...look on my son..with my own eyes."<br/><br/>Luke reluctantly took off the helmet to reveal a milk white bald head with burn scar tissue around it and veins crawling this way and that. He gently peeled the mask back to reveal the sad elderly face of Anakin looking tearful as he saw his son.<br/><br/>"N-now...go...my son....leave me." Anakin said weakly. "No! You're coming with us, I can't leave you here..I have to save you!" Luke said desperately.<br/><br/>Anakin managed a smile, "You already have, boys. ...You were right....You were right about..me. Tell....your sister....that...you were right." Anakin slowly lay back as Luke started to cry.<br/><br/>"Father..."<br/><br/>"Thank you..." Anakin said with his last breath.
