After hesitation, George Lucas decided to go with one of the best Star Wars moments

Screen Rant recalled that Lucas spoke in an interview about being the legendary Anakin reveal moment almost deleted from the third part of the first Star Wars trilogy:

After Darth Vader is forced into this huge personality that I never expected, I can still take the mask off and make him this funny little man? Well, I came to the conclusion that that was the original story, that’s how it should be, and if the public can’t handle it, then what can I do about it?
Lucas emphasized that the humanity in Star Wars was always most important to him: Many people objected to the fact that there was even a human in it. But in the film it’s about human weaknessesnot about monsters.

We can no longer imagine the Star Wars series without this crucial moment.
