Star Wars: Return of the Jedi alternate ending

Leia sneaks aboard the ship that takes Vader and Luke up to the Death Star. She hides steps behind and later makes her way through the death star and climbs into the ventilation system. The original conversation amongst Palpatine, Vader and Luke ensues, and Leia eventually finds her way up into the Emperors head-quarters. She overhears the part of the conversation in which Vader makes the connection that there is a twin sister. There is a longer pause as now that he is aware of her he feels her presence, but thinks it is just the new awareness. He inadvertently looks in the direction that she is hiding and she becomes scared and pulls back some. Vader continues his monologue in which he starts threatening Luke to hurt Leia and their friends; or turning her to the dark side. This invokes the iconic scene in which Luke gets pissed and starts wailing on Vader. Leia cringes at the sight of Luke losing his nerve, especially when he chops off Vader’s already prosthetic hand. Palpatine starts his eerie pressuring of Luke to give into his feelings. Leia thinks she sees for a brief moment Luke thinking through his options and begins to cry silently. Vader senses her presence again, but is unsure of why he is sensing her. When Luke refuses to join, the Emperor goes about using the force to shock him. Leia becomes enraged as she watches her brother being electrified. She sees Vader struggling as the realization of what has happened sets in, but he is extremely warn out and cannot stop it. He shouts out to Palpatine to stop, who gets angry and directs his electricity at both Vader AND Luke. Leia’s anger heightens and without think, she holds out her hand. What happens next was subject of conversation for many years after. Leia inadvertently used the force to retrieve Vader’s lightsaber and jumps into action. She chops of Palpatine’s hands in a successful attempt to stop. The Emperor falls to the floor in utter shock at this vigilante rebel who out of nowhere harnessed her power. She holds the lightsaber up to his neck to gain control over him. She tells him she isn’t going to kill him… rather, she was going to let him blow up with the rest of the death star. It’s at this point Luke runs up behind her, questioning her presence and her ability to use the force. She tells him not to worry and they retrieve Vader. They are able to leave the death star moments before the rebels blow it up. Once on Endor, Vader requests to have his mask removed so he can live amongst the others, however briefly, as a person; not a cyborg. He enjoys his last few moments seeing peace in the galaxy. He then shows up in force ghost form alongside Obi Wan and Yoda. He is Anakin Skywalker again; whole, healthy and good.
