Well, I liked the idea of Luke being reknown for his surname, along with the DS destruction. Surely, this would leave the emperor standing as a fool, when he says "he's the offspring of anakin skywalker"... but if we left the 1980 dialogue, it could work.

I insist, this "contradiction" (which is never officially stablished) of watching the saga in order and saying "hey, anakin was such an important figure, and 20 years after, other Skywalker appears and no one seems to relate them, or remember Anakin's great deeds during the CW" could be arranged in the prequels by makin Anakin some Mr Nobody (?), though for me it would be better to get it fix in the OT

Rookies.

It's already there, just not in the final edit.

RED LEADER
Are you… Luke Skywalker? Have
you been checked out on the Incom
T-sixty-five?

BIGGS
Sir, Luke is the best bushpilot in
the outer rim territories.

Red Leader pats Luke on the back as they stop in front of his fighter.

RED LEADER
I met your father once when I was
just a boy. He was a great pilot.
You’ll do all right. If you’ve
got half of your father’s skill,
you’ll do better than all right.

LUKE
Thank you, sir. I’ll try.

Rookies? Where does that come from, man?

I knew of that scene but it doesn't really adjusts to what I said. Where's the mention to Anakin the Jedi, not the pilot? Where's the astonishment of what I've talked in my post? Anakin, as it is shown in the Prequels (here's the thing) is rather a legend, someone you would say "Do you REALLY have something to do with Skywalker?"; not that mere alussion. And I always thought of this in ESB, where the Luke's father question is almost filling the air of the film.
