Crazy how powerful Vader was that a mere dream sent shockwaves through The Force.

[@aronmakan]

Palpatine probably saw a second chance to get the potential of The Chosen One.

@matthewbee128 Actually, he agrees it's cannon so do som research before misleading people

[@PixelKnight93]

Well Palpatine's gamble backfired quite badly

[@loudboy317]

Palpatine: I have no doubt this boy is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker. Vader: How do you know??? I never told you that Padme was pregnant. Palpatine: I saw him in a vision??? Vader: Really??? If he's Anakin's son, how can he be alive??? You said I killed Padme in my anger. Palpatine: Uhhh...

[@Khalif-AllahEntertainment]

I always thought Luke is the chosen one's backup lol

[@hhivegrf]

He was raised by the family, in the same planet and kept the surname. The Force is note needed to know that. It's pretty obvious.

[@RetneysHolocron]

Palpatine did not know Luke's first or last name until he had the vision. The story explains how he learned who Luke was! 👍

[@lsporter88]

Fascinating. Great video.

[@TaraCicora]

I loved this short story

[@brokenbridge6316]

Sidious had good reason to be concerned.

[@oliversherman2414]

I read the Vader comic where Boba told him about Luke. It's an interesting one

[@nicholaspreston2020]

Never heard this before, great video!

[@sunnyv5718]

Somehow, Palpatine knew. -writers from the sequels

[@mark_spit7839]

Palpatine took one good look at his Hot Toys Skywalker next to his Hot Toys Vader and noticed the resemblance immediately

[@michaeldietz4190]

The whole argument that Luke's last name was a dead giveaway, especially because he was on Tatooine, ignores the fact that there were obviously already "Skywalkers" on Tatooine before Anakin. Shmi had the Skywalker name and never married, so logically her parents (or at least father) were of the same name. Even though we don't see them, there had to have been a lineage on that planet. And in terms of the locals connecting Anakin to Luke, Anakin left Tatooine 20+ years before Luke showed up (except for one day when all he did was interact with Owen/Beru and Watto). Sure, he was probably famous for a bit for the podracing win, but then he was gone. It probably wasn't that hard to give Luke a plausible backstory to the name if there were other Skywalkers elsewhere on the planet, or at least people alive who remembered some. Leia, on the other hand, would have had to have a name change. A "Skywalker" showing up on Alderaan as the adopted daughter of a powerful senator who had multiple interactions with Anakin and Padme? That would have been much more unexplainable and more highly scrutinized, IMO.

[@Hermestrismegistus565]

Or it’s all make believe.

[@josephcamenzind1305]

Luke Skywalker from Tatooine. How could he have known. ? Lol

[@nopeace3689]

He probably thought they wouldn't put him on sand because of how much anakin he hated it

[@teamdeo6313]

Good work

[@ChetYoubetchya-it5zv]

Palpatine probably felt a similar feeling in the force with luke that he did with Anakin so he knew the similarities led to knowing they had to be family

[@TheMandaloreAnimation]

This Remains an ancient historical right now

[@nickma71]

A young man named Luke Skywalker, very strong with the force destroys the Death Star with the force helping, and there is question as to who he is?

[@TheJpf79]

Lukes surname and home planet never gave it away.

[@supremejoseph]

How was he hiding why is his last name Skywalker and lives with Anakins mother’s family 😂

[@jakeusaf9401]

Skywalker isn't a common Sir name. It's pretty obvious he's his son.

[@tylersheridan8376]

Haha I was thinking the same thing

[@antoniojuan9549]

He did not know his name until the vision

[@crimsionCoder42]

Palpatine was able to more clearly see in the force with the Jedi gone. He once made a comment to Thrawn that something was calling to him in the unknown regions (Abeloth). Stands to reason he'd sense Luke as his powers awakened.

[@aronmakan]

Pretty interesting🤔

[@antoniojuan9549]

We don't know if it was Abeloth what was calling him

[@kagemaru259]

“What is thy bidding, my master?” “Some punk farm kid from a desert planet blew up our Death Star. Kill him.” “If he could be turned, he would be a valuable ally.” “Oh damn, didn’t think of that. Make it happen.”

[@jimc5754]

Ummm maybe because he had the name Skywalker and never tried to hide it

[@coreywigent7693]

The last name probably gave it away

[@RetneysHolocron]

Palpatine did not know Luke's first or last name until he had the vision. The story explains how he learned who Luke was! 👍

[@weaselton]

Uh his name was skywalker?.. they didn’t really hide that.

[@RetneysHolocron]

[@miahconnell23]

It’s a cool last name. That dude from 2-Live-Crew coöpted it, & with him becoming a public face for 1st Amendment Rights, it all worked out ✔️

[@jimokane9891]

I always thought it was strange that Leia was adopted by the Organas and give the name Organa but Luke is raised by Owen and Beru Lars but keeps the name Skywalker. Would it not have been dangerous for him to have the name Skywalker. The same last name as the famed Republic General Anakin Skywalker. Now granted being on Tatooine granted him a lot more anonymity than Leia being a prestigious senator's daughter on Alderaan and of course Darth Vaders reluctance to ever set foot on Tatooine again would make it unlikely he would ever go there but still who knows what spies the Emperor had all over the galaxy.

[@RetneysHolocron]

At least in Legends, in the old Dark Horse comics, Beru says that they named him Skywalker to honor the memory of Shmi

[@user-nn1ex5lw3d]

@@RetneysHolocron Wow, I didn't know that! That's incredible... which DH comic was this in? I've read many of them but can't place where this happened... cheers :)

@@user-nn1ex5lw3d It happened in Star Wars Tales Issue 15 I believe

Because he knew Dutch?

[@supermandefender]

I never thought that much about this to be honest. I just thought Luke Skywalker's name became famous for destroying the Death Star.

[@t3jf]

Imagine Palpatine had a vision he was destroyed by a Mary Sue

[@jmcfintona999]

Last name maybe?

[@sidestyle05]

Perhaps it was his name. How many Skywalkers could there really have been in the phone book?

[@adamarnold4263]

Probably the name skywalker was a give away

[@85MBaker]

"Your don't need to see his identification."

[@mariocrivello6733]

I always thought the emperor just learned lukes last name. Lol

Did Domino's deliver pizza to Palpatine in 30 parsecs or less?

[@jeffreyconner2937]

Surprise? I don't see Vader acting surprised when Papaltine says the son of Skywalker.

[@KrazyJohnny]

Could it be the last name

[@mothersmucker1]

Not that hard, same last name both Jedis... he'd have to be a real tard not to know he's Vaders son.

[@patrickdepoortere6830]

Your idea of what constitutes canon is fascinating, the ultimate in subjective crowd sourcing...but fun nonetheless.

[@whunt5533]

I dont know how he knew, maybe because thier was only one other motherhumper named skywalker in the galaxy

[@dmsturgeon8762]

It might have been his last name, it's not like the name skywalker was very common.

[@kjdempsey]

Palpatine had really bad diarrhoea that night

[@swgraphics9059]

Why did Palpatine have a other apprentice? (In new Canon)

[@mxt87]

He googled it

[@barryschultz4947]

umm because his name was skywalker????

[@nes4tw214]

Because his last name is Skywalker?

[@TheMICMusicInspirationChannel]

George Lucas told him.

[@jeffsframe9927]

So the Emperor could “ see “ that Luke was Vaders son, but could not “sense” that Vader already knew this and was lying to him 🤨😵‍💫🤪

[@RetneysHolocron]

No, he knew that Vader already knew, because he sensed/watched Vader's dream of Luke. Thats how he found out.

[@yusrashah1173]

tea

[@scottr2314]

There is a much simpler way that the Emperor could have learned Luke was Vaders son. The Emperor knew that Vader's real name was Anakin Skywalker and he found out the name of the main character was Luke Skywalker. He knew that Anakin and Padema were getting very friendly and he put two and two together. On the other hand when the first Death Star was destroyed, the emperor used the force to try to figure out who did it and put two and two together that way.
