In canon, Owen felt Kenobi was personally responsible for the deaths of Shmi and Anakin, and that the Jedi's actions tore the family apart. When Kenobi left Luke under Owen's reluctant protection, the farmer told the Jedi to stay away from them, fearing that Kenobi would create similar consequences with the boy.
If you knew Darth Vader's past identity, what would you have done? For me personally, I would have kept it to myself, no way am I risking pissing off Vader.
Executive 1 It would still help. As a matter of fact why didn't they just have him grow up thinking Owen was his father? Luke Lars has a nice ring to it.
Maybe they weren't the ones to give him Anakin's surname. Maybe it was Owen and Beru? Makes sense, they didn't know Anakin was Vader, they thought Anakin was dead. Maybe they just felt it was the right thing to do, for Anakin and Shimi
R2-D2 is aware of who he is. His memory is never erased throughout the entire seires, while C-3PO has his erased at the end of ROTS. R2 remembers everything, interesting to think about on a rewatch.
Listen, when order 66 was issued, the 501st legion saw Skywalker, get in the temple, they saw him, killing all the jedi, then the shocktroopers saw him half burned... then these clones would spread his identity....
Yes the clones were very disciplined soldiers andf extremly loyal, they wouldn't see any personal advatage by telling other people of it and they also those who knew that vader was the former jedi anakin skywalker didn't care about his identity, to them it was even rather a good thing to serve under one of the best republic generals of the clone wars and a good commander was the only think what counted to them and that he is loyal to the empire.
RebelMilitiaElite Most of them are loyal, but just look at what happend at Umbara... Clones with Independant thoughts like Jesse, Hardcase or Kix or look a guy like Dogma who those whatever they tell you
Lol I think R2 is the one of he characters who knows the most about the prequels, originals and sequels because he lived through it all and I am pretty sure he remembers it
Theres also the Darth Vader book, that picks up on the instant the movie ends and the Kenobi book, that picks up at the same time, except it follows obi wan
By Episode IV, Tarkin knew. When they discuss Obi Wan aboard the Death Star, he openly acknowledges Vader as a former Jedi after the latter calls Obi Wan "his old master".
Hitler was never enslaved with his family, never had the weight of the force on his back, never mentally and physically fucked beyond repair, had his family die and "betray" him. He got off pretty fucking easy, on his own terms. Even Josef Stalin had Hitler shitting in fear, because despite his psychopathic intellect, he was a pathetic, fragile coward. Plus, Vader killing his victims was paradise compared to the mind-shattering shit Palpatine was both willing and able to do to them.
Ahsoka didn't just have a _sneaking suspicion_ as you seem to put it; she completely knew it was him and this is quite obvious based on the dialogue between the two characters in 'Twilight of the Apprentice'. Secondly, Tarkin was also quite aware noting: "You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion."
just like the jedi who had suspicions of him being Anakin, then when he was struck down, Vader did confirm it was indeed Anakin Skywalker that lies beneath the suit
I've always thought it odd that in stuff like Rebels and the movies nobody seems to remember the name Skywalker. In the clone wars cartoon it was kind of implied that Anakin was pretty well known by the public as a hero of the war. Palpatine publicly credited him with victories and such. Yet when the kid in Rebels is watching a training hologram of Anakin with Ahsoka he didn't know who Anakin Skywalker was. Guess when he became Vader the Emperor may have attempted to delete any record of Anakin from public access?
Actually, in the Jason Aaron comics, it's revealed that Owen and Beru probably didn't know that Anakin was Vader. There's a conversation between Obi-Wan and Owen where Owen says he doesn't want Luke to go off and "wind up dead like his father."
Awesome video. Thank you! I really enjoy your Star Wars trivia. One thing I wanted to add is, in Jude Watson's Last Jedi Knight book series, Ferus Owen discovers who Darth Vader is because he is still acting a lot like Anakin Skywalker. Or at least, he had suspicions. I didn't actually read the book, just skip ahead to the end in a bookstore so I might be mistaken. Anyway, thank you so much again!
Intergalactic travel was also mentioned in KOTOR. Canderous Ordo says on the very edge of the galaxy he witnessed an asteroid glow with plasma and become a ship then blasting into hyperspace away from the galaxy into nothingness. They gave chase and the ship accelerated into a speed far beyond any craft could match in the galaxy and escaped.
Vader keeps getting his ass kicked by his Masters. First it was High Ground. In Return of th Jedi when Palpatine sent Force Lightning into Vader I wonder if Vader was singing to himself "meet the new boss.....same as the old boss...." :)
+Max Dove Before the mask closed on him, yes. However, Palpatine specifically told the Separatist leaders, "When my new apprentice, Darth Vader, arrives, he will take care of you." On top of that, the first words spoken upon Anakin's arrival, from Nute Gunray himself no less, were "Welcome Lord Vader. We've been expecting you." Clearly, they knew of a "Darth Vader", and recognized his face as that of Anakin Skywalker.
Great video, but I would have also added this information. I still can't confirm if Tarkin knew in cannon, but he definitely at least knew Vader was once a Jedi. During a private meeting between him and Vader, Tarkin told Vader he was quote,"All that's left of that ancient religion."
Because at that time the (New Canon) New Republic Senate hated everything/everyone that was affiliated with the Galactic Empire. Seeing that Vader was with the Empire that made anyone associated with him a dictator/enforcer like him. The NR Senate thought Leia was a warmonger since she’s the daughter of Vader which we knew as Anakin Skywalker. It’s like being related to Hitler since Adolf Hitler was an evil person & anyone related/associated with him was automatically an evil person in the public’s eyes.
luke skywalker sais to vader in return of the jedi. i feel the conflict in you i know the truth you were once Anakin Skywalker my father. so i don't know if you paid any attention to the movie but he said it so everyone knew
The reason I choose Waxer, as my favorite clone is because of his personality. He showed emotions that you barely saw a clone show which made Waxer, quite a unique character in the Clone Wars series in my personal opinion.
Vini Gaming True,but it's highly unlikely, especially seeing as how smart tarkin is, how he's so close to vader after working with Anakin before, how close he is with the emporer , and because it'd be weird that he'd know only that.
Lieutenant Tarkin fought alongside Anakin Skywalker in an episode of Clone Wars--Tarkin noted something "different" about Anakin from the other Jedi and considered Anakin the only Jedi he respected. Then in A New Hope he calls Vader, "My old friend."
Lol a rebuilt Grevious who came up with that one. "Who you reckon Vader is?" "General Grevious! They rebuilt him!" "whats evidence you have for that?" "Umm I don't know...they both have asthma?"
Tarkin's suspicions were probably confirmed in A New Hope because Vader mentions Obi-Wan as his former master, and Tarkin knew that Obi-Wan was Anakin's master. Also, in Thrawn: Alliances, which is a canon book, Thrawn realizes that Vader is Anakin.
And since the new Vader comics, Jocasta Nu also discovered his identity. When both were in the Jedi Temple, a droid that had remaned hidden performed a bioscan on Vader and identified him as Skywalker, which was overheard by Jocasta. She is, however, presumably dying in a few issues, taking the secret down with her.
Fact Free is best SW channel. I like your voice - even with my bad english I can easily understand + there are subtitles. Which is great. Other channels like SW Theory dont have subtitles which makes them useless for me :(
Vader states in the movies to Tarkin, "the last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master" BOOM Tarkin knows. If he didnt know before, he could figure it out now since they all worked together in the Clone Wars, but considering Tarkin seemed pretty calm during the conversation he probably already knew since there was no sudden epiphany/realization
It seems like its a known secret among the empires higher ups. His Aunt and Uncle clearly knew what happened as well. Obi Wan would have had to tell them.
sure with the knowledge u have now yes. but when Goerge Lucas first made the movie he actually intended for them to be 2 seperate people. Anakin was suppose to have been kiiled by Vader and Vaders Identity was suppose to be a secret. in Empire Strikes Back they got the idea that Vader could be his dad lol its crazy how it worked out perfectly like u said it seems like they just all know
kurtis mcneese I'm just going with the movie not the behind the scenes. Where the officers are arguing about the rebel base and one has "lack of faith" he seems to know who Vader is. Some Jedi leftover from the clone war with defunked religion. The admiral who fought with him has more respect. What they all appear not to know is that the emperor himself is a Sith.
Thales Sena he doesn't die in the 2nd death star !! he lives on as a bounty hunter and an informant and gives Kyle Katarn info about his father's death and that he was looking for the Valley of the Jedi where the brotherhood of darkness committed suicide to kill the army of light and trap their souls for eternity in the obelisk and if the power could be tapped could destroy entire galaxies.
In short: Obi-Wan, Yoda, Palpatine, Bail Organa, Luke, Leia, the Imperial doc, Ahsoka, Tarkin, and Thanoth knew. Owen, Beru, Palpatine's advisors, and several Clones *might have* known. Decades after Vader's death, the galaxy found out, and hated Leia for it.
Knowing there's a disturbance in the force doesn't necessarily mean they know what exactly causes the disturbance, maybe? Also, someone telling you to shut the fuck up is not a good indicator of their political stance, dawg. Resorting to insults is something people on both sides do. Neither the left nor the right has a monopoly on retards.
Kryptonic we out here huddling up on a 3 year old video. I read (on Wikipedia) that everything after 2012 when Disney acquired Lucasfilm, is considered Canon. Everything before, is Legends. So all books and comics from like the 80s, 90s, 00s falls in Legends and “isn’t canon.” Sounds like shit
Canon is anything following the story lines of the films. All three trilogies, Star Wars the clone wars cartoons, and I think Star Wars Rebels is canon too, not too sure. Also Han Solo and Rogue One. Everything else isn’t official until it’s acknowledged in the films.
Palpatine, Grand Moff Tarkin, Grand Admiral Thrawn, The Inquisitors, Bail Organa, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Maul, Sabe, Luke, Leia, Han, R2-D2, Ashoka, Jocasta Nu, Ferren Barr, Verla and Baylon Skoll all knew and possibly Owen and Beru
+Macauley Liam Curran Canon refers to the new Star Wars timeline that is being created under Disney, which includes the main movies, 3D tv shows, and all the new books, comics, and video games being published by Disney. Legends refers to the old Star Wars timeline, which includes all the old Star Wars comics, books, 2d shows, and video games published under Lucasfilms before Disney's purchase of Star Wars.
Comair485 Nah. Most casual viewers (and probably many fans) would rather forget his prequel-era self, because they just like seeing a hulking black mechanoid with a menacing voice being rather awesomely violent.
i hope captain rex never knows that Anakin is Darth Vader. Really close friends and it would bring so much pain to rex that his good old friend joined the side that they sworn to end and bring peace
Everyone that has watched star wars movies knows. What they don't know is Yoda is a Sith Lord. He was the one keeping the Jedi blind to Palpatines plans.
In «A new hope» Darth Vader tells Tarkin about Obi Wan kenobi. He also told that he hasn’t felt this presence since his earlier master. Tarkin then says that Darth vader is the last of his «ancient religion» So i think that Tarkin knew about his real identity!
I always contend that Tarken knew, but did not let on to others. His lines in Star Wars are what makes me believe that. "The Jedi are extinct. Their fire has gone out of the universe. You my friend are all that's left of their religion." I believe Dash Star or another addressed the same question in a video, and I said the same there.

there's no way Tarkin didn't know. Vader calls Kenobi his old master, and Tarkin was acquainted with both Jedi.
Racist Bassist Tarkin never heard Vader say that also in the tarkin novel it states that he knew it was Anakin
Elliott Quinton yes he did. It's in the board room
Tarkin knew, but didn't really care.
Tarkin knew by the end of the Tarkin novel, he just never brought it up.
Elliott Quinton A New Hope...
In canon, Owen felt Kenobi was personally responsible for the deaths of Shmi and Anakin, and that the Jedi's actions tore the family apart. When Kenobi left Luke under Owen's reluctant protection, the farmer told the Jedi to stay away from them, fearing that Kenobi would create similar consequences with the boy.
I think that's in both canons.
Bobby da Costa Dude the person he was replying to was named Revan. He said "and Owen and Obi-Wan etc..."
Shuraking Dino Well the way you worded it sounds like you were talking about revan
Just anikan skyguy
Responsible for the death of Shmi? Owen knew that the Sand people were responsible
If you knew Darth Vader's past identity, what would you have done? For me personally, I would have kept it to myself, no way am I risking pissing off Vader.
indeed
Fact Free True
Fact Free
It's either lose your head by telling the truth or stay alive but in hidding.
I think the answer is logical,I would keep it to myself
Fact Free I would've told others
i wouldn't really care
Why did Yoda and obi-wan not give Luke a different last name? Seeing as how they were trying to hide him from Vader.
maybe skywalker is a common last name
Executive 1 It would still help. As a matter of fact why didn't they just have him grow up thinking Owen was his father? Luke Lars has a nice ring to it.
***** Good point.
Maybe they weren't the ones to give him Anakin's surname. Maybe it was Owen and Beru?
Makes sense, they didn't know Anakin was Vader, they thought Anakin was dead.
Maybe they just felt it was the right thing to do, for Anakin and Shimi
***** True
R2-D2 is aware of who he is. His memory is never erased throughout the entire seires, while C-3PO has his erased at the end of ROTS. R2 remembers everything, interesting to think about on a rewatch.
I wonder what he thinks about Anakin becoming Darth Vader
I wonder if R2 told C-3PO about Anakin later
Guys, lets rebuild grievous, with SIX arms and XL cupholders. He would be unstoppable
Alex Groh Ahahahahahaha yeah!
We can rebuild him. We have the technology.
Yes, maybe this time he will succeed to kill Obi-Wan and make me happy.
Anakin Skywalker Traitor.
How about we rebuild a grievous, but instead of more limbs. We give them the ability to control (via tech) 2 MORE ROBOTIC BODIES IDENTICAL TO HIS!?
Damn, in real life gossip alone would make it widespread who Vader is.
Gossip across an entire galaxy. It's fair to say that misinformation and Chinese whispers would eventually confuse things.
BlackEagle352 yep, too many loose ends
Of course, but it would all be rumours. Just like rumours around Hitler in Nazi Germany.
It'd be like a conspiracy theory
André Rhine-Davis epic
Listen, when order 66 was issued, the 501st legion saw Skywalker, get in the temple, they saw him, killing all the jedi, then the shocktroopers saw him half burned... then these clones would spread his identity....
They won't... have you seen Clones? they're really crazy sometimes. specially Hardcase, but theres no way they havn't told anyone
CommanderCodyHD maybe they told other clones, but I don't think they would tell anyone other.
Yes the clones were very disciplined soldiers andf extremly loyal, they wouldn't see any personal advatage by telling other people of it and they also those who knew that vader was the former jedi anakin skywalker didn't care about his identity, to them it was even rather a good thing to serve under one of the best republic generals of the clone wars and a good commander was the only think what counted to them and that he is loyal to the empire.

Clones would not tell any one... -_-
Doesn’t r2-d2 know who Vader is
owen the Master memory wiped out in episode 3
C T That was for C-3PO
C T That was only C3PO
Lol I think R2 is the one of he characters who knows the most about the prequels, originals and sequels because he lived through it all and I am pretty sure he remembers it
C T only 3PO got wiped
Wish they would make a film that takes place moments later after revenge of the sith would be very interesting
L0NEWOLF 95 there are the darth Vader comics
That came out I think this year in june
L0NEWOLF 95 you can watch Star wars rebels
Lapis Lazuli Star Wars Rebels is 16 years after Revenge of the Sith.
Theres also the Darth Vader book, that picks up on the instant the movie ends and the Kenobi book, that picks up at the same time, except it follows obi wan
Everyone should have known. Since he was a kid, Anakins shadow formed the silhouette of Vader. Duh.
Yeah, duh.
By Episode IV, Tarkin knew. When they discuss Obi Wan aboard the Death Star, he openly acknowledges Vader as a former Jedi after the latter calls Obi Wan "his old master".
Being related to Vader is like being related to Hitler.
Sean Anthony Leia was really never able to get the credibility back after people found out....lol her bodyguards even call her lady vader
Sean Anthony no
The main difference being that you're related to a space dark lord badass instead of an ugly failed artist with a dumb stache and missing one ball.
Hitler was never enslaved with his family, never had the weight of the force on his back, never mentally and physically fucked beyond repair, had his family die and "betray" him. He got off pretty fucking easy, on his own terms. Even Josef Stalin had Hitler shitting in fear, because despite his psychopathic intellect, he was a pathetic, fragile coward.
Plus, Vader killing his victims was paradise compared to the mind-shattering shit Palpatine was both willing and able to do to them.
Hitler could kill millions of people just by giving a single order. Crazy power, most here are jealous.
I like REx, becus he the best! :)

Another fun fact. So did Jar Jar Binks. LOL

You missed R2-D2. C3PO got his memory erased at the end of episode III tho. But R2 did know

Or at least, he had suspicions. I didn't actually read the book, just skip ahead to the end in a bookstore so I might be mistaken.
Anyway, thank you so much again!
Can you do a video on if anyone ever came across another galaxy or thought about going to another galaxy
IIRC in legends, beings from another galaxy invade or something
steven hansen For example the Yuuzhan Vong conquer the whole galaxy, look it up
Intergalactic travel was also mentioned in KOTOR. Canderous Ordo says on the very edge of the galaxy he witnessed an asteroid glow with plasma and become a ship then blasting into hyperspace away from the galaxy into nothingness. They gave chase and the ship accelerated into a speed far beyond any craft could match in the galaxy and escaped.
That's interesting that the whole galaxy found out.
I've got a feeling that Captain Rex also knows who Vader is!
Yeah captain Rex knew
Gisela Vemba no he didn’t watch rebels
I would love some tv series from the Dark side perspective.
I feel like watching the whole Star Wars series
As others have said, in A New Hope Vader explicitly refers to Obi Wan as “[his] old Master” to Tarkin.
Vader keeps getting his ass kicked by his Masters. First it was High Ground. In Return of th Jedi when Palpatine sent Force Lightning into Vader I wonder if Vader was singing to himself "meet the new boss.....same as the old boss...." :)
The Separatist leaders knew as well.
Anakin killed all the Speratist leaders before he was made into Darth Vader.
+Max Dove Before the mask closed on him, yes. However, Palpatine specifically told the Separatist leaders, "When my new apprentice, Darth Vader, arrives, he will take care of you." On top of that, the first words spoken upon Anakin's arrival, from Nute Gunray himself no less, were "Welcome Lord Vader. We've been expecting you." Clearly, they knew of a "Darth Vader", and recognized his face as that of Anakin Skywalker.
Ooh, whoops my bad.
But we are talking about Darth Vader with the suit. Not when he was still Anakin Skywalker.
Max Dove He was already Darth Vader at that point you dumb fuck. Just because he wasnt burnt to a crisp doesnt me he wasnt darth vader
I read the Last of the Jedi series as a kid. Didn't Ferus Olin also know that Vader was Anakin? They were both rivals as padawan apprentices.
Reads title, Me: "Yeah, who knew, right?"
Great video, but I would have also added this information. I still can't confirm if Tarkin knew in cannon, but he definitely at least knew Vader was once a Jedi. During a private meeting between him and Vader, Tarkin told Vader he was quote,"All that's left of that ancient religion."
Why did it ruin Leia's reputation? She should have used this finding and her actions as a Military Leader to bolster her political career.
Because at that time the (New Canon) New Republic Senate hated everything/everyone that was affiliated with the Galactic Empire. Seeing that Vader was with the Empire that made anyone associated with him a dictator/enforcer like him. The NR Senate thought Leia was a warmonger since she’s the daughter of Vader which we knew as Anakin Skywalker. It’s like being related to Hitler since Adolf Hitler was an evil person & anyone related/associated with him was automatically an evil person in the public’s eyes.
I'm willing to bet that Grand Admiral Thrawn could induce Vader's identity if he saw Vader's lightsaber.
You forgot grand admiral thrawn
The thing that would suck for Vader is having to update his Facebook account & awkwardly unfriending & adding all of those new friends...
luke skywalker sais to vader in return of the jedi. i feel the conflict in you i know the truth you were once Anakin Skywalker my father. so i don't know if you paid any attention to the movie but he said it so everyone knew
+super gizmo They were alone when he said that. The only person he told in return of the Jedi was Leia, after telling her that they too were related.
+WillFanofMany exactly
Fact Free yes and everyonr knows women are like newspapers so everbody knew in 2 days
But you don't know what she did when she wasn't on screen again women are newspapers they like to gossip
That is what they make you think again she is a woman and women are blabbermouths
The reason I choose Waxer, as my favorite clone is because of his personality. He showed emotions that you barely saw a clone show which made Waxer, quite a unique character in the Clone Wars series in my personal opinion.
Tarkin knew who vader was. In episode 4 he says "you are all that is left of their religion".
Good point!
Vini Gaming True,but it's highly unlikely, especially seeing as how smart tarkin is, how he's so close to vader after working with Anakin before, how close he is with the emporer , and because it'd be weird that he'd know only that.
He knew that he's a former Jedi but he didn't know that he's Anakin Skywalker.
That just suggests that he was aware of the fact that Vader was once a Jedi, it doesn't necessarily mean he knew which Jedi in particular.
***** exactly. its not like he looked shocked when that happened to be said. its not like he went...hmmmmm so its not yoda....I just lost 10 credits!
Lieutenant Tarkin fought alongside Anakin Skywalker in an episode of Clone Wars--Tarkin noted something "different" about Anakin from the other Jedi and considered Anakin the only Jedi he respected. Then in A New Hope he calls Vader, "My old friend."
hey fact free can you make a video of jedis who were actually able to defeat darth vader in lightsaber duel other wise than obi wan and luke skywalker
Luke could not defeat Vader in a duel Vader was holding back because he didnt want to kill his son
xD
Well if a few jedis grouped and a,bushed him they would most likely win
Some tried that, they all died.
Conner Mars yup then sidious made up a story how he had killed 50 jedis
Luke defeats him in Lightsaber duel.
Starkiller and Ahsoka Tano has a chance against him.
Hitting me now: he has to keep wearing a mask like the Raiders he killed in translation to the dark side to reluctantly represent that culture- ooowee
Lol a rebuilt Grevious who came up with that one.
"Who you reckon Vader is?"
"General Grevious! They rebuilt him!"
"whats evidence you have for that?"
"Umm I don't know...they both have asthma?"
Tarkin's suspicions were probably confirmed in A New Hope because Vader mentions Obi-Wan as his former master, and Tarkin knew that Obi-Wan was Anakin's master. Also, in Thrawn: Alliances, which is a canon book, Thrawn realizes that Vader is Anakin.
Ok this is the most important question, is it really called blue milk
Yes, it's also known as Bantha Milk within the star wars galaxy. My friend and I actually did a school project on this in our Gourmet foods class lol.
Fact Free Badass
Fact Free Yeah.
In Legends, clones who took part in Operation Knightfall (Battlefront II campaign) knew Vader before he was put in his black suit.
Do you do the captions or does someone else? Whoever does them is very helpful if you can't watch a video with sound in public. Thanks!

What happened to IG-88 after episode 5?

Thales Sena he doesn't die in the 2nd death star !! he lives on as a bounty hunter and an informant and gives Kyle Katarn info about his father's death and that he was looking for the Valley of the Jedi where the brotherhood of darkness committed suicide to kill the army of light and trap their souls for eternity in the obelisk and if the power could be tapped could destroy entire galaxies.
whoops that was 8t88 not ig 88 my bad. it's been a while since I read the books

no.

Obi-Wan, Yoda, Palpatine, Bail Organa, Luke, Leia, the Imperial doc, Ahsoka, Tarkin, and Thanoth knew.
Owen, Beru, Palpatine's advisors, and several Clones *might have* known.
Decades after Vader's death, the galaxy found out, and hated Leia for it.
blue milk anyone
Made of pure Twi'lek!
That inspector was badass
wtf everybody knew, all the jedi instantly knew because of the force.
iare19 no
yes, I feel the disturbance in the force.
iare19 stfu lol
umm i dont live in us. MR stupid yank
Knowing there's a disturbance in the force doesn't necessarily mean they know what exactly causes the disturbance, maybe?
Also, someone telling you to shut the fuck up is not a good indicator of their political stance, dawg. Resorting to insults is something people on both sides do. Neither the left nor the right has a monopoly on retards.
I love how u seperate Canon and Legends.
I’m kind of a noob at Star Wars
So what’s canon?
I think canon is what happened on the movies, while legends(or expanded universe) is everything else.
Kryptonic we out here huddling up on a 3 year old video. I read (on Wikipedia) that everything after 2012 when Disney acquired Lucasfilm, is considered Canon. Everything before, is Legends. So all books and comics from like the 80s, 90s, 00s falls in Legends and “isn’t canon.” Sounds like shit
Canon is anything following the story lines of the films. All three trilogies, Star Wars the clone wars cartoons, and I think Star Wars Rebels is canon too, not too sure. Also Han Solo and Rogue One. Everything else isn’t official until it’s acknowledged in the films.
Tarkin DID know. Remember in New Hope - "you my friend....all that's left of their religion" when talking of Jedis.
0:53 could someone tell me what comic that's from I really want to read that!
+Dan Lane It's from the new Marvel Darth Vader comics.
Fact Free thank you :)
hHeHEHEhEheheHE
go to trutHCOnteSTCOm, ReAd The PResEnt
Didn't Kanan and Ezra know as well, or did they not because they didn't hear Ahsoka and Vaders's full conversation?
Did thrawn know? Or is there not enough evidence?
+Fleet Gaming Its unknown.
Fact Free thanks maybe it will be revealed later on.
Palpatine, Grand Moff Tarkin, Grand Admiral Thrawn, The Inquisitors, Bail Organa, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Maul, Sabe, Luke, Leia, Han, R2-D2, Ashoka, Jocasta Nu, Ferren Barr, Verla and Baylon Skoll all knew and possibly Owen and Beru
dude , i already know about this in SW Ep 3
+Akuiikem Ikak This video was about characters in Star Wars who knew, not about us the audience.
Fact Free thx for that reply
Akuiikem Ikak Sure no problem :)
Imagining vader as greivous reborn actually scares the shit out of me
What's the difference between Legends and Cannon?
Canon actually happened in the movie time line. Legends are like camp fire stories. They don't count.
Thought so, thank you!
+Macauley Liam Curran Canon refers to the new Star Wars timeline that is being created under Disney, which includes the main movies, 3D tv shows, and all the new books, comics, and video games being published by Disney. Legends refers to the old Star Wars timeline, which includes all the old Star Wars comics, books, 2d shows, and video games published under Lucasfilms before Disney's purchase of Star Wars.
And if I'm correct, some of the Legends will be incorporated into the new cannon if appropriate?
Macauley Liam Curran ish. Legends where never considered canon even before Disney acquired Lucasfilm
I think this is why everyone is excited to see Vader in rogue one because of the fact we all know deep down it's Anakin Skywalker.
Comair485 Nah. Most casual viewers (and probably many fans) would rather forget his prequel-era self, because they just like seeing a hulking black mechanoid with a menacing voice being rather awesomely violent.
The audeince
Thrawn finds out in the new Thrawn books
i hope captain rex never knows that Anakin is Darth Vader. Really close friends and it would bring so much pain to rex that his good old friend joined the side that they sworn to end and bring peace
Tarkin must have known cos in A New Hope he denies the possibility of kenobi being alive, and say that vader is the last of his old religiom
Everyone that has watched star wars movies knows. What they don't know is Yoda is a Sith Lord. He was the one keeping the Jedi blind to Palpatines plans.
We saw in family guy that Luke knew
“Luke! Tell uncle Owen not to tell you that Väder is your father “
1:38 I read that comic. It’s very good
In «A new hope» Darth Vader tells Tarkin about Obi Wan kenobi. He also told that he hasn’t felt this presence since his earlier master.
Tarkin then says that Darth vader is the last of his «ancient religion»
So i think that Tarkin knew about his real identity!
Geez, I knew of a few off the top of my head but damn!! This video has half the galaxy knowing the connection between the two.
please do a Christmas video . thanks for uploading and may the force be with you.
In legends, Jedi Knight Jax Pavan also knew Darth Vader's true identity after being hinted by Vader himself
I always contend that Tarken knew, but did not let on to others. His lines in Star Wars are what makes me believe that. "The Jedi are extinct. Their fire has gone out of the universe. You my friend are all that's left of their religion." I believe Dash Star or another addressed the same question in a video, and I said the same there.
