10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About Star Wars
1. "Luke, I Am Your Father" - Nope!
Being a franchise fan often brings about plenty of debate, with one of the most compelling questions being, "what is the series' most iconic moment?". But, while most fandoms can argue that until the sun goes down, every Star Wars fan knows it's the shocking reveal that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father.
This moment had a huge impact on popular culture, with parodies all over the place and almost everyone remembering that iconic line, "Luke, I am your father". Except, that's not what Vader said at all. It seems instead to be a big old slice of the Mandela Effect. The actual dialogue went a little something like this...
Vader: Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.
Luke: He told me enough. He told me you killed him.
Vader: No. I am your father.
Cue poor mind-blown Luke having a screaming fit.
As you can clearly see, the line was a response to something Luke said, rather than being an explicit declaration. Plus, Vader never addressed Luke by name. Even so, it feels strange to say the line without the name included. It's a truly bizarre example of everyone getting something wrong but agreeing to do so together.
