crosspost: the original trilogy and family

[anghraine]

Unless I’ve missed something, this is every reference to family in the OT:

 

LUKE: Now that you've been around those giant starships you’re beginning to sound like my uncle. You’ve gotten soft in the city.

LUKE: But what if this Obi-Wan comes looking for him?

OWEN: He won’t, I don’t think he exists any more. He died about the same    time as your father.

LUKE: He knew my father?

BERU: Luke’s just not a farmer, Owen. He has too much of his fatherin him.

OWEN: That’s what I’m afraid of.

LUKE: What happened?

OBI-WAN: Rest easy, son, you’ve had a busy day.

THREEPIO: There’s no sense in you risking yourself on my account. I’m done for.

ARTOO: *beep*

LUKE: No, you’re not. What kind of talk is that?

OBI-WAN: Quickly, son … they’re on the move.

OBI-WAN: Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan … now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time … a long time.

LUKE: I think my uncle knew him. He said he was dead.

LUKE: No, my father didn’t fight in the wars. He was a navigator on a spice freighter.

OBI-WAN: That’s what your uncle told you. He didn’t hold with your father’s ideals. Thought he should have stayed here and not gotten involved.

LUKE: You fought in the Clone Wars?

OBI-WAN: Yes, I was once a Jedi Knight, the same as your father.

OBI-WAN: I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn’t allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damned-fool idealistic crusade like your father did.

LUKE: What is it?

OBI-WAN: Your father’s lightsaber.

LUKE: How did my father die?

OBI-WAN: A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights. He betrayed and murdered your father.

LEIA: General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father’s request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it.

LUKE: It’s not that I like the Empire. I hate it! But there’s nothing I can do about it right now. It's such a long way from here.

OBI-WAN: That’s your uncle talking.

LUKE: Oh, God, my uncle.

LUKE: I want to come with you to Alderaan. There’s nothing here for me now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father.

WILLARD: When we heard about Alderaan, we were afraid that you were lost along with your father.

ANAKIN: He’s just a boy. Obi-Wan can no longer help him.

PALPATINE: The Force is strong with him. The son of Skywalkermust not become a Jedi.

YODA: Why wish you become Jedi? Hm?

LUKE: Mostly because of my father, I guess.

YODA: Ah, your father.  Powerful Jedi was he, powerful Jedi, mmm.

LUKE: Oh, come on.  How could you know my father?  You don’t even know who I am.

YODA: Hmmm. Much anger in him, like his father.

ANAKIN: Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.

LUKE: He told me enough! It was you who killed him.

ANAKIN: No. I am your father.

ANAKIN: Luke. You can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy asfather and son. Come with me.

ANAKIN: Luke.

LUKE: Father.

ANAKIN: Son, come with me.

LUKE: Master Yoda … is Darth Vader my father?

YODA: Mmm … rest I need. Yes … rest.

LUKE: Yoda, I must know!

YODA: Your father he is.

YODA: Luke … Luke … Do not … do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor, or suffer your father’s fate, you will.

YODA: Luke, the Force runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned…

LUKE: You told me Vader betrayed and murdered my father.

OBI-WAN: Your father was seduced by the dark side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and became Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed.

OBI-WAN: You see, what happened to your father was my fault. Anakin was a good friend. 

OBI-WAN: When I first knew him, your father was already a great pilot.

LUKE: I can’t kill my own father.

OBI-WAN: The other he spoke of is your twin sister.

LUKE: But I have no sister.

OBI-WAN: Hmm. To protect you both from the Emperor, you were hidden from your father when you were born. The Emperor knew, as I did, if Anakin were to have any offspring, they would be a threat to him. That is the reason why your sister remains safely anonymous.

LUKE: Leia! Leia’s my sister.

PALPATINE: I told you to remain on the command ship.

ANAKIN: A small Rebel force has penetrated the shield and landed on Endor.

PALPATINE: Yes, I know.

ANAKIN: My son is with them.

LUKE: Leia, do you remember your mother? Your real mother?

LUKE: I have no memory of my mother. I never knew her.

LUKE: I have to face him.

LEIA: Why?

LUKE: He’s my father.

LUKE: You’re wrong, Leia. You have that power too. In time you’ll learn to use it as I have. The Force is strong in my family. My father has it…I have it…and…my sister has it. Yes, it’s you, Leia.

ANAKIN: The Emperor has been expecting you.

LUKE: I know, Father.

ANAKIN: So, you have accepted the truth.

LUKE: I’ve accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skywalker, my father.

LUKE: Search your feelings, Father. You can’t do this. I feel the conflict within you. Let go of your hate.

ANAKIN: It is too late for me, son.

LUKE: Then my father is truly dead.

LUKE: You’re gravely mistaken. You won’t convert me as you did myfather.

PALPATINE: By now you must know your father can never be turned from the dark side. 

LUKE: Your overconfidence is your weakness.

PALPATINE: Your faith in your friends is yours.

ANAKIN: It is pointless to resist, my son.

ANAKIN: Obi-Wan has taught you well.

LUKE: I will not fight you, Father.

ANAKIN: You are unwise to lower your defenses.

LUKE: Your thoughts betray you, Father.

ANAKIN: Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for…sister! You have a twin sister. 

PALPATINE: Good! Your hate has made you powerful. Now, fulfill your destiny and take your father’s place at my side!

LUKE: Never! I’ll never turn to the dark side. You’ve failed, Your Highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me.

PALPATINE: Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the dark side. You have paid the price for your lack of vision.

LUKE: Father, please! Help me…

ANAKIN: Now … go, my son. Leave me.

LUKE: No. You’re coming with me. I can’t leave you here. I’ve got to save you.

ANAKIN: You already have, Luke. You were right about me. Tell your sister…you were right.

LUKE: Father, I won’t leave you!

HAN: When he comes back, I won’t get in the way.

LEIA: Oh. No, it’s not like that at all. He’s my brother.

I notice there's no reference to "aunt," so I guess we can assume that Beru just came by one day to sell some droids and wound up crashing there indefinitely.

lolol

I actually totally forgot to include Luke shouting out "Uncle Owen" and "Aunt Beru." Oops?
