Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough

>Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough

Why did he say this? Was he just lying?

Yeah it's a lie

>Was he just lying?
Yes you retard

Yes. Any other questions about Star Wars?

From a certain point of view

>Was he just lying?
Not originally, no. Lucas fucks up his universe the more he revisits it.

Vader basically begged the emperor to not kill Luke then he tried to get Luke to join him and rule the galaxy together, I'm sure indirectly he'd want his son to have his old light saber and know how to use it like he used to.

They made the story up as they went along.

It's not exactly a lie. His father would want him to learn to use a lightsaber. Obi-Wan just didn't tell him his father would want him to use it to chop up kids and bring order to the galaxy.

Luki I know you think you can't trust me,
that I am a liar you just shouldn't believe,
but please know its all true,
from a certain point of view

At this point Vader was not planned to be the father of Luke.

Not when the movie came out, but it retroactively became a lie.

I don't understand why people shit on this, and the "Darth Vader betrayed and murdered uour father" line. Ben was obviously lying to him, because Luke was a fucking sheltered farmboy. He wasn't mature enough to have those truth bombs dropped on him. He literally couldn't handle the truth.
>come with me to Alderaan
>oh, and by the way, your father is Darth Vader
>that evil guy who hunted down and killed the Jedi, including the women and children
>I cut off his arms and legs and that's why he wears the black suit lmao
Luke wasn't ready for that shit.

Why does he pronounce it Light. Sabre.

>Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough. I took it and left him burning and dismembered near a riverbed, only it was a river made of melted lava. Before I left him to die he told me how much he hated me. He was a good friend.

>Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough to murder your own pupils

STOP FUCKING MAKING STAR WARS THREADS I DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR SHITTY MOVIE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>Why did he say this? Was he just lying?
He wasn't aware of later retcons.

He was living alone in the desert for the last 20 years. He just forgot how to properly pronounce things. Shit I sometimes go two-three weeks without talking to people so when someone suddenly wants me to say more than hey or bye I have a hard time forming words with my retard mouth.

I'm sure Anakin wanted someone to turn him back to the light side and who better to do it than his own son.
So in a way Anakin wanted his son to have his old Jedi lightsaber.

Thats bullshit but I believe it.

yeah i got one. how come everything in the "future" has a 1970's aesthetic?

Because when they made Star Wars, Luke’s father was a Jedi and pilot killed by Darth Vader, a separate character

Cost effective due to war. Also tech goes downwards as time goes in most fantasy series.

Real answer? The first films were in fact filmed in the 70s.

>A long time ago ...
>"future"
You can figure this one out on your own.

>A LONG TIME AGO IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY

Right, except an even longer time ago(episode 1-3) they didnt have that look. So yeah

Luke did I even lie to you about your father?
He was a good friend

There was some economic crisis between III and IIII caused by the empire rising to power and more resources allocated to war. So everyone had to buy the plastic-looking cheap stuff.

Honestly I'll be surprised if the answer isn't on wookipedia somewhere

Obi Wan was full of shit.

The line will be explained in the inevitable Kenobi solo movie, similar to how Rogue One exists only to explain why the Death Star had a nuke shute

In the prequels they didn't invent solid matter yet so they had to live in digital cgi worlds. As the Empire brought stability and economic growth they could finally live in actual rooms that did not look as flashy but at least kept the cold out.
