INTRODUCTION
Skywalker accompanied his friends on the mission to the forest moon of Endor to knock out the shield generator that protected the Second Death Star in orbit. Not long after, Skywalker surrendered to Vader in an attempt to bring the Dark Lord back to the Light Side, but he ultimately became a prisoner of the Emperor.

The Emperor goaded Skywalker to strike him down to save the Rebels who were being defeated in the Battle of Endor. Skywalker, in a moment of weakness, lashed out but Vader stopped his strike and father and son dueled one another for the last time. Luke Skywalker attacked Darth Vader with the power of rage, and just managed to regain control before killing him.

Throwing his lightsaber away, Luke Skywalker declared that he would never turn to the Dark Side and that he was a Jedi, like his father before him. Enraged, the Emperor unleashed Force-lightning against Skywalker in an attempt to kill the young Jedi. Seeing his son dying, and perhaps remembering the mercy shown him, compassion finally broke through to Vader. In an act of self-sacrifice, Anakin Skywalker re-emerged to destroy the Emperor. You to can recreated Luke’s battle against Darth Vader or the Emperor…

Luke is a new sculpt just for this line. The background image on the package is long enough to connect to the Darth Vader Base for a Death Star II Final Duel.

The Electronic F/X line of action figures was short lived. Only five figures were ever made: R2-D2, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, Jedi Luke Skywalker, and Emperor Palpatine. Though a short lived line of action figure this line had potential for further figures and accessories.
