Repost from Risa@startrek

As a millennial, the Trek VS Wars debates always confused me. Star Trek is philosophy and political science class in a scifi, flavor of the week format. And Star Wars is fantasy in a science fiction setting. Why can’t we all just love them for what they are?

Here we see Deeana Troi poking fun at how quickly a couple retcons about family and the force sort of ruin the first half of a New Hope. If Luke could call out to Leia at the end of ESB then how did Vader not know here?

    That wasn’t related to their familial connection, though. Their familial connection wasn’t established until ROTJ.

      I mean, you low key hit the nail on the head.

      In Vader sucks at noticing obvious things because nothing was planned and everything got reconned as they went along. For forty-five years.

      It’s absolutely shocking that the time-warped remnant of Vader can find his own face, let alone sense a force-sensitive daughter that wouldn’t exist for years and wouldn’t make sense for decades.

      My point still stands. Did Vader not realize she was force sensitive? Luke was able to determine their relationship through the force in ROTJ
