I think it was a pretty interesting contribution G&G Fan. I’ve never read the original draft of Star Wars to be honest, so it was new information to me that one of the characters Darth Vader was based on was the father of one of the characters Luke Skywalker was based on. It shows that George Lucas clearly wasn’t just pulling him being Luke’s father out of his ass, even if that’s not what the intention was in 1977. With how pervasive the narrative that he just come up with this idea out of nowhere, and it didn’t exist at all to influence his decision-making before the later drafts of The Empire Strikes Back, it’s interesting to see this point of information.
