When Luke introduces himself to the droids in ANH, he should call himself Luke Lars.
When Obi-Wan tells Luke about his father, he should spell out his father’s name was Anakin Skywalker and thus his name is actually Luke Skywalker.
Ok but how is that terrible? It’d help explain why he was never a target for the Empire or Darth Vader. Is this just a thread for “Edit ideas that acknowledge the prequels” (even though this wouldn’t even be exclusively dealing with the prequels)?
Well first, it’s laughably bad. Second, it’s so insignificant that it barely registers as important to the plot despite the explanation for why the Empire didn’t find Luke. Once Obi-Wan tells Luke he’s a Skywalker, the Lars name might as well disappear from the movie entirely since it doesn’t serve any purpose. So all it does is complicate the movie for no reason. Third, it’s laughably bad.
As for this thread being “edit ideas that acknowledge the prequels”, I’d argue that this thread is way more cruel towards the sequel trilogy. But that’s only my opinion.
