If you were bothered by the way Vader treated his daughter in “A New Hope”…
…and if you were bothered by this:
Know that you are not alone. GEORGE LUCAS didn’t know that Leia was Vader’s daughter until “Return of the Jedi”… How could Vader know? Lucas only improved his characters’ stories after he realized the success of “A New Hope” (“Star Wars”, right?). This legend that he already had the nine films in his head before he started recording is a bedtime story for Bantha!
(This is a Bantha):
It’s obvious that if everything had already been thought out, we would see some strangeness in Vader when he met his daughter (due to the Force). There would have been a hint there… But there wasn’t.
Because George Lucas DIDN’T HAVE NINE FILMS IN HIS HEAD BEFORE HE STARTED SHOOTING “STAR WARS”.
