I agree with that to an extent. I still think it would be nice to find some way to preserve the reveal. But I understand the argument against it. I was once watching a marathon with a friend and his girlfriend, who had never seen the films. We watched 1-6. She already knew the line “Luke I am your father” from pop culture, so that would not have surprised her. But she didn’t know really anything else about the movies. Throughout the prequels she asked a couple times “so who is luke? Where is Darth Vader?” Because all she knew was what she had picked up from pop culture references. She was actually genuinely shocked when anakin turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader. That was a far more impactful reveal to her than “I am your father” would have been had she not seen the prequels first.
