Why this must be read:
This is a powerful piece with Luke in the aftermath of The Empire Strikes Back dealing with the revelation that Darth Vader is his father. He dreams of his family, of Anakin Skywalker, and Tatooine; he see's the face's of Qui-Gon and Shmi, Obi-Wan and Padmé. And they all tell Luke the same thing, that all is not lost, that his father can really be saved. One of my favorite Original Trilogy stories, and one everyone should read.
He feels raw, stretched thin, bloodied and battered. He feels deeply and strangely bereft. He feels alien in his own body, uneven, off balance.
"Vader," he whispers. He didn't expect it, but somehow the memories are there. There is no jolt of realisation, no shock of discovery. Fighting… his hand… father… The knowledge, somehow, is too great and terrible to forget even in unconsciousness.
"We're back at the base, now," Leia says. "Vader's gone. You're safe, Luke."
"I know," he says softly. "I know."
