t-darko Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Straight up fact... Anakin and Vader were separate characters.... even on Bespin the idea was that "Luke I am your father thing" was supposed to be uncertain. In the first movie the intent was to have them as two different characters. In the 2nd movie it was supposed to be a question for luke. Basically "is he my father? Is he lying?" etc. However while preparing the original story for RotJ Lucas spoke with a Child Psychologist who said that it could/would be harmful for children to have this as an unresolved question and/or beliveve someone was lying about fatherhood. So he felt he had to resolve it and chose to resolve it in the way we know today. Heck originally Yoda was not to be in the movie nor were their scenes on Dagoba to bring us the PAINFUL "point of view speech" by Obi Wan to rationalize it all. There are SO MANY things that we get beaten over the head with because Lucas had one story in mind when he wrote one Episode then changed his mind 1 or 2 episodes later. "Beaten over the head with . . . " now that is a bit harsh . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
