Anakin. What you did was perfectly right. I am your son, and I'm grateful to have the chance to get to know you. What's more, what you want is perfectly right and reasonable. It's the Force Bond between us.
[Luke stepped closer, setting his jaw.]
Your bond with me is what saved the entire galaxy, in my time. The idea that attachments are some how bad is something utterly against the very nature of the Force. It surrounds us all, binds us together. Without those bonds there is no Force. Attachments do not lead to the Dark Side. Denying them does. Force Bonds, the connection between family and friends, are an essential part of being a Jedi. If you can't understand and connect with the people you're supposed to be protecting, then how can you protect them at all?
[Another blunt statement just stumbles out. One he believes with all his heart.]
The old code is wrong, Anakin. Setting ourselves apart like that does far more harm than good.
