LUKE
I love you, father.
Luke rushes away, never realizing his actions are spurred by his father's hypnotic command.
After Luke has rounded out of sight, Vader rises, not as weakened as he had seemed only moments ago. It rapidly becomes clear that his dying was faked for his son's benefit. He moves rapidly and with purpose, knowing that he has precious little time. All that get in his way, be they obstacles or hapless Imperial personell, are tossed aside with a gesture of his hand and a wave of the Force. He enters an elevator, turning to face the camera as the doors close.
INTERIOR THRONE ROOM
Vader exits the elevator, striding rapidly, ignoring the shaking and sounds of explosion that reach even here. His destination becomes clear... it is the Imperial Throne. Reaching it, he turns and sits. His rightful place, at last. A fitting place to die.
As he collects his thoughts for the last time, he looks out through the window at the stars and at the myriad of ships escaping the dying Death Star. One of them catches his eye, and he speaks for the final time.
VADER
Goodbye, my son.
CUT TO DEATH STAR EXPLOSION
A very good possible alternate ending. I too am a bit troubled by the throne thing but perhaps.......
INTERIOR THRONE ROOM
Vader exits the elevator, pausing briefly to glance sideways over the railing, he strides rapidly, ignoring the shaking and sounds of explosion that reach even here. His destination becomes clear... it is the Imperial Throne. Reaching it, he pauses and says:
"It should never have come to this. I should never have come to this. "

VADER
Obi-Wan taught you well; as he did me. Thank you for helping me see that. Goodbye my son...
CUT TO DEATH STAR EXPLOSION
