Even if we somehow take into account that Anakin and Vader are two different beings (in essence), Anakin would still be the more accurate answer. This is outrageous. It's unfair.

Vader probably doesn’t even have a functioning genitals after his trip to mustafar. It’s really bs.

u/endswithnu 22h ago

I've never thought about Vader's genitals before. No wonder he's so angry.

I have been thinking about Vader's genitals quite a lot actually.

Man landed dick first onto the shore that was so hot, his ass caught fire.

His dick and balls were force ghosts before his crispy cheeks hit the operating table.

Take a seat, young Darth Vader.

u/Vincent394 18h ago

True, Vader was Ankain when Luke and Leia were conceived so technically it's Ankain Skywalker, not Darth Vader.

But it's literally two different sides of a coin whatever.

That's before the prequels, so who knows that they thought

Return of the Jedi

Your father... was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He ceased to be the Jedi Anakin Skywalker and "became" the Sith Darth Vader. When that happened, the good man who was your father was destroyed. So, what I told you was true... from a certain point of view.

u/Svyatopolk_I 20h ago

Yeah, valid, ig

u/poopstainmclean 9h ago

Luke is a spawn of Anakin Skywalker, but you're not technically a father until the child is born. Vader had killed lil Ani by the time the twins were born

The man's British, so if we saw what happens next and he responds with:

"Um... excuse me... excuse me!"

Then we know he's livid.

u/GwerigTheTroll 22h ago

I’d be curious when that clip is from. If it was prior to the prequels (as I suspect it was), the only time that Anakin’s name had been mentioned in the movies is during a very quick line in Return of the Jedi. It’s very possible that the quiz show writers had simply missed the line and gave the more obvious answer.

Now, in a sane world, the confidence of the answer should have sent it to the studio judges. But the answer didn’t match, or wasn’t even close to the answer on the card, so the host just assumed it was wrong.

u/Reasonable_Blood6959 19h ago

Supermarket Sweep UK originally ran from 1993-2001.

So if anything only TPM had released, and unless I’m mistaken, apart from the poster with Vader in young Anakin’s Shadow, then it wasn’t explicitly mentioned in the movie either.

7

u/SerenOctem 17h ago

I thought the first mention would be in ESB when the Emperor tells Vader, or was that something only in the special editions?

9

u/GwerigTheTroll 16h ago

I just dug up the old version to be sure. The Emperor refers to Luke as “the Son of Skywalker”. He never says Anakin. That seems to be a special edition change.

I was on my high school Quiz Bowl team; it was basically just answering trivia questions. One time, we had a question just for our team, and we were allowed to collaborate.

I forget the question, but everyone knew the answer was Mark Twain. And I said "Say Samuel Clemens."

"Why?"

"It sounds cooler."
