While this was not the Ben that he had met, Luke was touched by his words. He could only imagine how difficult it must have been for him to see his apprentice turn to the Dark Side even knowing that Anakin thought he was doing the right thing. "Yoda told me that I was impulsive, like my father, so I can easily believe that," he finally said, looking up. "I abandoned my training because I wanted to save my friends and when I came back, Yoda was dying. You came to me as a ghost and told me the rest of the story. I believed there was good in him, I don't know how but I did and that's why I went back to him. I wish it could have been sooner but at least at the end, I know...I saw his Force ghost in a vision on Endor and it was him as a man, not as Vader. I never saw his real face, he had been hurt badly but it was him."
He took a deep breath. "I worry about Leia. She didn't have that experience, she suffered a great deal at his hands and lost so much. We haven't talked about it much, I think it's something she isn't ready to think about yet and I understand that."
