    How the hell would he have figured out which pilot destroyed the Death Star

    Vader saw lukes xfighter.

    From Wookiepedia:

    All spaceships have transponders that identify them, are vital for fleet/spaceport navigation, and are illegal/difficult to modify or remove; which the rebels did not routinely do.

    It makes sense a vehicle make and model would be enough for one of the galaxies best bounty hunters to go off of.



  • I love that George Lucas was in it for the love of the game. He’s a true artist.

    edit: fuck me he’s pro AI in movies.

    People love to shit on his creative decisions in the prequels… but at least he wasn’t making them for the vapid commercially driven motivations infecting everything now a days.

    Dude was passionate about making cool movies in new ways; and he succeeded.

    Between ANH and ESB Vader sent Boba to hunt down the pilot that destroyed the death star. This led Boba to Tatooine, where he investigated/interrogated people who knew Luke and eventually found/fought him at Obiwans house.

    Boba returned to Vader with only 1 thing. The name Skywalker. This is what revealed to Vader he had a son, and after dueling Luke, a daughter as well.

    As far as Kenobis name… My head cannon is that he mind tricked people into thinking they knew someone to send vader on a wild goose chase. Obiwan would use a false name instead of putting innocent people with the same last name in danger.
