Although Luke had beaten Vader, he refused to kill him and reaffirmed his promise to the Jedi way. Which caused the Emperor to torture Luke by unleashing a torrent of Force lightning on him. Upset by the sight of his son in pain, Vader smashed the Emperor at the cost of his own life. Resulting in the extinction of the Sith and the fulfillment of Anakin Luke's destiny as the Chosen
