Da novelização de James Kahn:
NOTE QUE
-
ISTO ACONTECE ANTES DA LUTA. Logo depois que Luke entrou em sua presença. O que significa que antes de Vader descobrir as habilidades de Luke melhoradas de acordo com a curiosidade do OP
-
Obviamente, Vader estava de pé ao lado dele e ouviu o que o Imperador disse. Então, ele sabia que Luke foi treinado por Yoda antes de descobrir o quanto Luke melhorou
The moment passed. He did nothing.
“Tell me, young Skywalker,” the Emperor said when he saw Luke’s first struggle had taken its course. “Who has been involved in your training until now?” The smile was thin, open-mouthed, hollow.
Luke was silent. He would reveal nothing.
“Oh, I know it was Obi-Wan Kenobi at first,” the wicked ruler continued, rubbing his fingers together as if trying to remember. Then pausing, his lips creased into a sneer. “Of course, we are familiar with the talent Obi-Wan Kenobi had, when it came to training Jedi.” He nodded politely in Vader’s direction, indicating Obi-Wan’s previous star pupil. Vader stood without responding, without moving.
Luke tensed with fury at the Emperor’s defamation of Ben—though, of course, to the Emperor it was praise. And he bridled even more, knowing the Emperor was so nearly right. He tried to bring his anger under control, though, for it seemed to please the malevolent dictator greatly.
Palpatine noted the emotions on Luke’s face and chuckled. “So, in your early training you have followed your father’s path, it would seem. But alas, Obi-Wan is now dead, I believe; his elder student, here, saw to that—” again, he made a hand motion toward Vader. “So tell me, young Skywalker—who continued your training?”
That smile, again, like a knife. Luke held silent, struggling to regain his composure.
The Emperor tapped his fingers on the arm of the throne, recalling. “There was one called … Yoda. An aged Master Jed … Ah, I see by your countenance I have hit a chord, a resonant chord indeed. Yoda, then.”
Luke flashed with anger at himself, now, to have revealed so much, unwillingly, unwittingly. Anger and self-doubt. He strove to calm himself—to see all, to show nothing; only to be.
“This Yoda,” the Emperor mused. “Lives he still?”
Luke focused on the emptiness of space beyond the window behind the Emperor’s chair. The deep void, where nothing was. Nothing. He filled his mind with this black nothing. Opaque, save for the occasional flickering of starlight that filtered through the ether.
“Ah,” cried Emperor Palpatine. “He lives not Very good, young Skywalker, you almost hid this from me. But you could not. And you can not. Your deepest flickerings are to me apparent. Your nakedest soul. That is my first lesson to you.” He beamed.
Por favor, note que a novelização (que é totalmente canon da Disney) não tem a famosa linha de cinema "Obi-Wan lhe ensinou bem". No lugar onde está no filme, só temos:
Para completar, Junior Novelization de Ryder Windham NÃO tem a progressão da história de Kahn, e em vez disso segue fielmente o diálogo do filme (basicamente é uma cópia do roteiro do filme), com este treinamento de leitura da mente pelo Imperador NÃO acontecendo, e com o famoso "Obi-Wan ensinou-lhe bem" linha sendo a única pista sobre os pensamentos de Vader. Tendo dito isso, fica claro por que o treinamento de Obi-Wan é o que Vader se importa, e não o de outra pessoa.The Emperor, watching joyously, saw this, and goaded Luke on to revel in his Darkness. “Use your aggressive feelings, boy! Yes! Let the hate flow through you! Become one with it, let it nourish you!”
Luke faltered a moment—then realized what was happening. He was suddenly confused again. What did he want? What should he do? His brief exultation, his microsecond of dark clarity—gone, now, in a wash of indecision, veiled enigma. Cold awakening from a passionate flirtation.
He took a step back, lowered his sword, relaxed, and tried to drive the hatred from his being.
In that instant, Vader attacked. He lunged half up the stairs, forcing Luke to reverse defensively. He bound the boy’s blade with his own, but Luke disengaged and leaped to the safety of an overhead gantry. Vader jumped over the railing to the floor beneath the platform on which Luke stood.
“I will not fight you, Father,” Luke stated.
-
Ele era o aluno anterior de Obi-Wan. Agora, Luke tomou o seu lugar. É uma rivalidade.
-
Se incluirmos o Episode III canon, ele tem um relacionamento realmente intenso com o Obi-Wan. Irmão. Professor. Professor ele ama odiar. No final, alguém Anakin está com inveja até Padme, quando ambos saem do navio de Padme. Obi-Wan é o centro do mundo de Anakin, e Yoda (ou qualquer outra pessoa) não está nem perto de suas preocupações.
