Star Wars fans have long been debating the plot hole surrounding Luke Skywalker’s identity. After all, how could Darth Vader not recognize his own son when he saw him in the original trilogy? Well, the mystery has finally been solved.
In the latest installment of the Star Wars franchise, The Last Jedi, director Rian Johnson has finally addressed the plot hole. In the movie, Luke reveals to Rey that he was aware of his father’s identity all along. He had been keeping it a secret from everyone, including himself, in order to protect himself and the galaxy from the power of the dark side.
This revelation explains why Luke was so shocked when he saw Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back. He had been keeping his identity a secret from himself, so he was unaware of the connection between them. It also explains why Vader didn’t recognize Luke in Return of the Jedi. By that point, Luke had already accepted his identity and was no longer hiding it from himself.
This revelation also helps to explain why Luke was so hesitant to confront his father in Return of the Jedi. He knew that if he revealed his identity, it would unleash the power of the dark side and put the galaxy in danger.
The Last Jedi has finally solved the mystery of Luke Skywalker’s identity and the plot hole that has been plaguing Star Wars fans for decades. It’s a satisfying resolution to a long-standing mystery and a great addition to the Star Wars universe.
