[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] Now that's strange, I was thinking about this thread in the shower this morning, and one of the questions I had was concerned with knowledge of Luke's origins - but not while still on Tatooine, after. We know that a certain time period separates ANH and TESB. During this time Luke Skywalker's name and fame obviously spread quite far. He's one of the poster boys of the Rebellion. And there seems to be no doubt in Palpatine's and Vader's minds that this Skywalker is the son of that Skywalker. But never mind what the Imperial leadership know or guess, what about people in the Alliance? For a long time the Senate continued to function despite the presence of a ruling Emperor. But in fact what wasn't public knowledge was that most of the Senate was under the control of the Emperor, probably by Sith mind-control means. The Rebel Alliance then become a kind of bunch of conspiracy theorists, as it were, but they're the poeple who know what's really going on. So wouldn't Anakin Skywalker's betrayal of the Jedi be reasonably common knowledge within the Alliance? And we also know he was called Lord/Darth Vader even before he got the biomechanical togs. So these people would know those facts. They wouldn't know about the existence of a son (or daughter) since only three people (and one droid; Mrs. Organa needn't have known the origin of her foster-daughter; the medical droids could have had their memories wiped at the same time as C-3PO) knew Amidala lived long enough to give birth. But then along comes adult Luke with a princess and a bunch of plans, and becomes a hero. So we're expected to believe not one of those Rebels put two and two together, hearing of Luke being the son of the Great Jedi Pilot, Hero of the Clone Wars, Anakin S., and thought to themselves "But he's. . ." And then didn't mention it to their closest associates, their cell leaders, the Rebel leadership or Luke himself? [/QB][/QUOTE]
