^ But it's amazing the emotion it did reveal. Instead of just having Vader saying how he's feeling or even letting his expressions show it, they made it clear without. It wasn't just Vader looking back and forth, the music also and the way Vader's head tilted added to the emotion of the scene. The face we've all come to dread now, somehow, looks tragic. I was learning about this in my Media Arts class last year. My textbook described how George Lucas conveyed the emotions of Darth Vader, C-3P0 and R2-D2 without expressions and (much of the time) dialogue as a great achievement. Now he's throwing it all away... I just don't get it.

I don't see any of that in that particular scene. To me he looks like he's trying to decide whether to wear the black socks or...the black socks.
However, the scene where Luke and Vader are talking after Luke turns himself in, I find very poignant. When Luke says to him, "Then my father is truly dead." and leaves Vader, Vader leans against the rail, and I can feel the beginning of the conflict in him and probably emotions he hasn't allowed himself to feel in a very long time.
I think the conflict is resolved when Vader finally realizes as Luke's dying that Luke will never turn and Vader then becomes Anakin again, saves his son and fulfills the prophecy. I buy it, but I just don't see the emotion in Vader in that scene. It's not there in the body language like it is in the my father is dead scene.
