Of course Darth Vader is Luke's father.  Besides the veiled references to
Darth (the bad side of the man) killing Luke's father (the side we like) and
so forth, the tip-off is that VADER is an obvious cognate to the Indo-european
root VATER or FATHER ... get it?

The most interesting question is: OB1 says Luke's "our last hope" (or is it
Yoda) and Yoda replies, "no, there is another."  (An obvious tie-in for the
Revenge of the Jedi!)  It can't be Solo because he's too handy with a blaster,
not mystical, very impure.  I'm positive it's the princess.
