Star War -The Empire Strikes back

I am your father (Script & Translation into Latin)


Luke moves along the railing and up to the control room. Vader lunges at him and Luke immediately raises his lit sword to meet Vader's. Sparks fly as they duel, Vader gradually forcing Luke backward toward the gantry. Darth Vader: You are beaten. It is useless to resist. Don't let yourself be destroyed as Obi-Wan did. Darth Vader: Victus es. Frustra resistere. Noli permittere te perire ut Obi-Wanus fecit.

Luke answers by rolling sideways and thrusting his sword at Vader so viciously that he nicks Vader on the shoulder. The black armor sparks and smokes and Vader seems to be hurt, but immediately recovers. Luke backs off along the narrow end of the gantry as Vader comes at him, slashing at the young Jedi with his sword. Luke makes a quick move around the instrument complex attached to the end of the gantry. Vader's sword comes slashing down, cutting the complex loose; it begins to fall, then is caught by the rising wind and blown upward. Luke glances at the instrument complex floating away. At that instant, Vader's sword comes down across Luke's right forearm, cutting off his hand and sending his sword flying. In great pain, Luke squeezes his forearm under his left armpit and moves back along the gantry to its extreme end. Vader follows. The wind subsides. Luke holds on. There is nowhere else to go. Darth Vader: There is no escape. Don't make me destroy you. [pauses] Darth Vader: Luke, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy. Luke: I'll never join you! Darth Vader: If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father. Luke: He told me enough! It was you who killed him! Darth Vader: No. I am your father. Darth Vader: Nulla fugae est. Te destruire non volo Darth Vader: Luca, tuam amplitudinem nondum cognoscis. Invenire tuam vim incepisti. Iunge mecum, et ego tuam exercitationem complebo. Compositis viribus nostris, id perniciosum bellum nos possumus conficere et disciplinam galaxiae adducere. Luke: Nunquam tecum iungam! Darth Vader: Si scires Tenebrosi Lateris vim... Nunquam Obi-Wanus tibi narrabit quid accidit cun patre tuo.. Luke: Satis mihi narravit! Quia tu eum occidis! Darth Vader: Non. Ego...pater tuus

sum. Shocked, Luke looks at Vader in utter disbelief. Luke: No. No. That's not true. That's impossible! Darth Vader: Search your feelings, you know it to be true! Luke: [anguished] No! No! Darth Vader: Luke. You can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son. Come with me. It is the only way. Luke: Non, non, id falsum. Impossibile est! Darth Vader: Animum quaere, scis verum esse! Luke: Non! Non! Darth Vader: Luca, principem tollere potes. Is hoc providit. Fatum est. Mecum iunge. Coniuctis galaxiam regere possumus ut pater et filius. Veni mecum. Unum hoc modo.

Vader puts away his sword and holds his hand out to Luke. A calm comes over Luke, and he makes a decision. In the next instant he steps off the gantry platform into space. The Dark Lord looks over the platform and sees Luke falling far below. The wind begins to blow at Vader's cape and the torrent finally forces him back, away from the edge. The wind soon fades and the wounded Jedi begins to drop fast, unable to grab onto anything to break his fall.
