There have been two notes recently asserting that OB1 was lying about Luke's
parentage (one in fa.sf-lovers).
What people don't seem to be realizing is that there is a model for this story.
It is known as the GOOD GUY/BAD GUY model.
OB1, Leia, Chewbacca, Han, et cetera are GOOD GUYS. These people are kind (if
kindness is returned), noble, honest, et cetera. They kill BAD GUYS.
Darth is a BAD GUY. He kills for pleasure, lies, is deceitful. For example,
he kowtows to the Emperor but later offers to help Luke kill him for their
own benefit. He enjoys strangling people (a nassssty man, my precious . . .).
BAD GUYS lie. GOOD GUYS tell the truth.
OB1 says that Darth killed Luke's father. Darth says the he IS Luke's father.
Now, who are you supposed to believe?
