If you have to give the other guy a name, why not call him Luke?

That way people will assume Luke Skywalker is named after his father and not after the friend of his father who is later betrayed and murdered by him.

GENIUS!

No way this works. Im sorry. It sounds interesting actually, but no way it actually makes that a shock. I say again. Ask yourself, if YOU would be fooled. Not some hypothetical first timer. Would YOU see this, and then see A New Hope and not say Oh, I see where this is going.

No, and that's why I hate this whole "preserve the secret" thing, because none of the suggestions are good. None of them. Not a single one.
