Vader está sentindo uma série de emoções nesta cena.
Ele está sentindo uma atração para o lado da Força . Isso está provocando medo .
But Luke isn’t going to be distracted.

“Search your feelings, Father. You can’t do this. I feel the conflict within you. Let go of your hate.”

Vader seemed almost to smile through his mask at his son’s use of Jedi voice-manipulation. He looked down at the lightsaber the captain had given him—Luke’s lightsaber.
