From my point of view, everything changed after the massive success of TFA. The idea of the Anthologies/Star Wars stories was they'd be much different than the Episodes. Different feel, different vibe. R1 was supposed to be a war movie and it sounds like Edwards delivered. Bob Iger and Alan Horn changed the trajectory after TFA, making unlikely that future directors and movies will be allowed to veer of the proven course. |

Also, even though this is a spoiler thread, I'm putting this in spoiler tags because if true, changes the dynamic somewhat of ANH.
Spoiler!

Awesome!
Good thing Vader said "...a presence I haven't felt since....", and left that ambiguous, eh? |

In hindsight one thing that bugged me was when Luke was on his torpedo run and Vader finally had him locked in that Vader could tell the "the Force was strong with this one", but couldn't recognize his own son? I know that's nitpicky, but I always thought of that after the big reveal in Empire. |

I've always interpreted that line as being a reference to obi-wan. Vader has no idea about Luke (or Leia, obviously) being his offspring at that point. He recognizes the presence of his old master. Luke at that point is barely even aware of the force. It takes Ben's death for Luke to really begin to take that next step as a force sensitive. He's not even a blip on anybody's radar prior to the deathstar run, the first time Vader senses him (and I think still has no idea of their relationship).
The thing that's never made sense to me is leaving Luke with the Skywalker name. Once it gets out who destroyed the deathstar, Vader wouldn't even need the force to connect the dots. 'Hey that kid who's about the right age has my old last name. Hmm.' Good work there, rebel conspirators. |

Anakin felt Padme and his child's presence on Mustafar, before his fight with Obi Wan.
After surgery, he says "She was alive. I FELT her" before Sidious lies and tells him that he killed her. While it seems obvious that Vader was referring to Obi Wan, I've always interpreted that scene to be about Luke. |

Things could change, but every bit of side-filler in existence between IV and V continuously points to Vader not having even a marginal clue that "the young rebel who destroyed the death star" is his son Luke at the time of Epi IV.

Lucas himself didn't know Vader was Luke's father so that line is clearly talking about Obi-Wan.

No you're thinking he didn't know Leia was Luke's sister.
Vader always was going to be Luke's father. Vader MEANS father. |
