Vader regrouped, and upon seeing the true evil that was Sidious, threw his Master down a deep shaft. The Sith Lord angrily shot Force lightning into Luke, intending to destroy him.

Sidious had not foreseen this, and could not comprehend Luke’s compassion for Vader. When the young Jedi came to his senses, he threw away his lightsaber, refusing to turn to the dark side.

Sidious toyed with him, encouraging the Jedi to use his hatred and strike him down. When Luke willingly arrived, seeking to turn Darth Vader, his father, to the light side of the Force, he was brought before Sidious.
