No big deal though, after a couple of reiterations my points get mentioned anyway. I'm glad you liked my suggestion about revealing the truth to Luke on Dagobah before the leaves for Bespin. That, IMO, would be the most logical place for Ben and Yoda to tell him. He's nearly completed his training and is off to face Vader and save his friends. He deserves to know what he's up against. Did the Jedi think Vader wouldn't tell Luke he was his father, as they must have assumed Vader was aware of Luke's identity by then. Yoda does say in RotJ, "Unexpected this is, and unfortunate," so I guess they did. This takes care of the numerous issues of Luke knowing in ANH and early ESB. Luke's behavior towards Vader on Bespin could go either way, then at the end of the duel he would find out anyway, so the flow of Luke's character wouldn't be disrupted as it would be if we have dozens of scenes with Luke knowing Darth Vader is his father but not reacting to or doing anything about it. To be honest I think the saga would be alright the the revelation going down the way it already does, but if not, this would be the preferable alternative. The biggest challenge here would be Luke's reactions. If only he had worn his orange jumpsuit in RotJ...
In regards to a "Star Wars Saga Ranch-Edit Bible" thread, I am in agreement that we are in need of one, but how would we make sure to make it different from the threads for the specific movies? Surely the two would overlap? Like I said I'm all for it; I just want to know how exactly we should seperate the discussions from then on.
