If you really want to preserve the twist, I think the best option is to have Luke be Luke Lars for the first two OT films, as that would hit two birds with one stone, preserving the twist while simultaneously solving the issue of how Vader never figured out the guy named Skywalker living with his step-brother was his son. Granted there’s still the step-brother bit, but that’s something you’d fix in the Prequels themselves. Anyway, the only problem with my idea is Lars has got to be the lamest name in the Galaxy. Most notably, you’d lose “I’m Luke Skywalker. I’m here to rescue you.”
