#its so hilarious
Imagine if the climactic confrontation between Luke and Vader were cut from Empire Strikes Back. No hand getting chopped off, no offer from Vader to join forces, no “no, I am your father.”
Now imagine the title crawl for Return of the Jedi just casually started “Luke Skywalker, having learned that his father Anakin did not die, but took up the mantle of Darth Vader…” And just fucking expected everyone to go along with that without asking questions.
But actually, it was established in ONE place before Episode VI came out - on an episode of Taxi which Darth Vader guest-starred in, where he casually talked about his estranged kids and there was a joke where he pulled out some wallet photos of Luke and Leia.
This is the world we live in after the Palpatine thing. I’m losing my mind. Who greenlit this shit
Fucking Fortnite man…
