I understand why George made that change, but from my understanding, people felt the additional dialogue just made things more confusing. The opening crawl and Vader’s actions at the beginning of the film, demonstrate that he already has a personal obsession with finding Luke, which implies he already knows who he really is. Having Vader find out during the movie seems to contradict that. Is he now just obsessed with find Luke because he destroyed the Death Star and he wants revenge?

You could argue Vader is feigning surprise, but already knows and pretends because he is planning to use Luke to help him usurp the Emperor, but it arguably just makes things more complicated.
