More curious, however, is the fact Luke Skywalker - generally seen as the greatest Jedi Master of all - was clearly unaware of Palpatine's resurrection. That's particularly disturbing given the Emperor seduced Ben Solo to the dark side under Luke's watch.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker revealed that Rey had been a descendant of Palpatine all along. And while that comes as a shock to most, Luke's Force ghost claims to already know about the dark secret.
The reveal of Luke (3) to them probably was more kickstarting their rivalry and attempts to outsmart each other in earnest, something which he liked, abused, but also feared and needed to make sure Vader and Luke would not ally, not until he could take over Luke's body.
According to legend, Exegol was the hidden world of the Sith. In 21 ABY, Skywalker began to sense the continued presence of the dark side. As a result, he began to investigate leads that mentioned Exegol. His friend Lando Calrissian joined him in his quest to find Exegol.
Nowhere in the movies does it say Palpatine ever knew that Luke fired the shot that destroyed the first Death Star. It doesn't even say Vader figured it out, though we can assume he'd probably recognize Luke from sensing him at the first Death Star battle.
How Luke Skywalker FINALLY Passed On FULL STORY (Legends) PERFECT ENDING - Star Wars Explained
When did Darth Vader realize Luke was his son?
In the post-2014 canon universe, the story that reveals Darth Vader discovering Luke Skywalker's identity (and thus the fact that the Death Star's destroyer is his son) is issue 6 of 2015's Star Wars comics by Marvel, which takes place sometime shortly after A New Hope.
Returning to Dagobah to complete his training, an ailing Yoda told Luke the terrible truth that Vader was his father, Anakin Skywalker. Rather than destroy his father, Luke sought to bring him back into the light. At 900 years old, Yoda passed away, telling Luke that there was another Skywalker.
secondly, in Legends, R2 was given programming that actually restricted him. from sharing any information with Luke or Leia. about their parents or relation to one another.
After his mission to Exegol, Darth Vader was brought back to the Imperial capital of Coruscant, where he faced the reconstruction of his cybernetic suit of armor in the secret laboratories of the throneworld. The Emperor was destroyed by the redeemed Anakin, who sacrificed his life to save his son Luke Skywalker.
While preparing for war with the New Republic and Leia Organa's Resistance, Snoke feared that Luke might return and rally the galaxy against the First Order. He ordered Ren to find Skywalker and destroy him – but a long-sought map to Luke wound up in the hands of Rey, a scavenger from Jakku.
Though Palpatine regarded Vader with the caution common in a Sith Lord to their apprentice, he nevertheless entrusted much of his plan to Vader's abilities. He even referred to the broken man as his friend on numerous occasions, though he still found himself betrayed by his apprentice during Return of the Jedi.
Only after locating the zombie-like Palpatine on Exegol in the opening sequence of The Rise of Skywalker does Kylo discover the truth. Revealing his behind the scenes machinations, Palpatine hints at the truth of Rey's bloodline, and Kylo asks to know more.
The Visual Dictionary for The Rise of Skywalker says that “Snoke knew that Rey and Kylo were linked through the Force, a prophesized “dyad” connecting two individuals across space and time”. Therefore, Snoke only knew that Kylo and Rey were “linked through the Force”.
Instead of being in the life suit, Vader looks like an older Anakin who never received the devastating injuries, and Padmé and Luke (who struck down Palpatine) are by his side. It's during these visions Palpatine realizes Luke - who he only knew as the Rebel who destroyed the Death Star - is Anakin's son.
Did Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader love Luke Skywalker? Yes he did. Now as someone consumed by the dark side, he really sucked at showing it at first. His idea of love was to turn his son to the dark side so they can rule the galaxy together.
Instead of facing him in battle, Luke calls Vader's bluff, challenging him to try and catch Luke in his X-Wing, resulting in the Dark Lord of the Sith sparing Solo to give chase (partly because he believes Luke's friends make him weaker.)
Vader's decision to block Luke from killing Palpatine was motivated by his knowledge that it would corrupt Luke and lead him down a similar path of suffering.
in the Dark Horse comic series star Wars Tales, which is now part of legends, it's revealed that Darth Vader did recognize C. 3PO on Cloud City. when 3PO was shot by Stormtroopers, his parts were brought before Vader. because the Imperials thought he could hold valuable.
R2-D2 was present when Padmé gave birth to Leia and Luke, so he knew Luke was Anakin's son – but what he didn't know was that Anakin became Darth Vader. In addition to that, Anakin's fall was surely a painful event in R2-D2's life, one that he definitely wouldn't like to remember or even talk about.
You saw how Luke's attitude completely changed when he realised that was actually Yoda and so did Yoda's behaviour. As for the r2 thing, is incredibly likely he just suspected R2 had had his memory wiped several times since they last saw each other.
Din Djarin has been teaching Grogu how to navigate the galaxy, and Grogu could honor his father by becoming a bounty hunter in the future. Grogu does not have to be the new Mand'alor or a Jedi Master. Instead, Din Grogu could make his own through the galaxy, perhaps assisting the New Republic as a bounty hunter.
Vader was hunting down the pilot who blew up the Death Star, and hired Boba Fett to find them. Boba was unable to, but he did give Vader a name: “Skywalker.” This, combined with his knowing Luke was Force-sensitive and had been trained by Obi-Wan, was what made him realize the truth.
Over the next decade, the galaxy was on the verge of civil war with entire star systems—led by Count Dooku, Yoda's one-time Padawan—threatening to secede from the Republic by 22 BBY.
