“I was referring to how Obi-Wan did not lie in Star Wars because Darth Vader killed Luke’s father. A young Jedi named Darth Vader who was a pupil of mine before he turned to evil. Helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights, he betrayed and murdered your father.”
But this comes from viewing character exposition dialogue like Obi-Wan’s (Ben’s) in STAR WARS (ANH) as though it were documentary-level historical truth instead of the narrative constructs that they were. The fact that none of the characters mention Luke’s father by his given name in the film (and the next one) was a deliberate narrative choice, for example.
