RE: The Skywalker family tree
I firmly believe that Darth Vader is NOT Luke's father. However,
I do have one question--- How does Vader know who Luke is?
I don't remember any scene in Star Wars (4) where Obi-Wan introduced
them, ("Vader, meet Skywalker, the kid who is going to blow up your
fancy Death Star)
and don't recall anything in Empire (SW5) either. Did I miss
something? (I only saw Empire once...)
Also, the very first time I saw the movie, I seem to recall that
Luke got two shots at the port, the first time failing with the
computer guiding the firing, the second time succeeding "trusting
the Force". This is reinforced by the book version (original paperback)
I have. Anybody else have a similar recollection?
And a last trivia note: in the book version I have, in the scene in the
landing bay of the DEATH Star where
they have captured the scanning crew and one of them appears to indicate
that the radio link has broken, the supervisor-type person calls the
guard--- THX-1138!!! (the movie calls him TK-421)
