Okay, I got the post that started thread point- >
Since before Darth Vader told Luke he was his father, Luke knew Anakin Skywalker was his father, but there 2-huge problems with that thinking 1st. & obvious, They are both males, how would produce Luke & 2nd. uncle Owen was the father that raised Luke, why does he know about Anakin Skywalker? Remember they were keeping Luke from discovering his biological father was Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.
Plus, the second part of the PIC, in the post that starts the thread, makes no sense to the first part, referencing my above point that first part makes no sense.
He knew his father was Anakin Skywalker. He didn't know that Anakin was a Jedi until Obi Wan told him in A New Hope (his uncle lied and said he was a freighter pilot or something), and didn't know Anakin and Darth Vader were the same person until the end of The Empire Strikes Back (because they weren't the same person until the writers decided on that twist while making that movie).
Leia being his sister was a similar twist pulled out of their asses while writing the third movie, in the hopes of recreating the "I am your father" hype.
I do not remember him knowing that Anakin Skywalker is his father. Who told him?
I agree with all the ret, which is what makes this thread assumptions not work.
If nobody else, Obi-Wan. Although the exchange at the Lars household over dinner suggests that Owen and Beru didn't exactly hide his father's name from him. Since "Anakin" doesn't appear at all in the script until after the twist, it's likely that there wasn't a firm name for him until ROTJ.
Luke definitely knew he had a father, though. And had an idea of who he was from the aunt and uncle who raised him, Obi-Wan, and even the rebel pilots.--
No they kept the rebels, evil empire & everything within that from him, because did want him to expose himself to being on that planet, to the evil empire.
