Somehow he managed to avoid the biggest movie spoiler of all time lol that being said, if he had watched it chronologically with 4-6 first, he would have just been left confused by the twist reveal. Most people in 1980 were left in complete confusion when they first saw Empire, because they didnt exactly know what it meant. it wasnt until the third movie, and then the prequels, that things were much more explained and understood. theres a video on YouTube of opening night for Empire in 1980 and theyre interviewing people walking out of the theater, and everyone is confused --- https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EW9g3dsXQAMEOyV.jpg <cite>FrozenBananas posted [p:941438765] in I just wat...

The movie wasnt confusing...hasnt ever been considered so in any mainstream way. Simple as that.

Between the possibilities (and combinations) of stress, genetics, diet and activity, visibly ageing more than 20 years in 20 years time is definitely possible.

By that point two statements had been made about Luke's father, which are framed as mutually exclusive. ~~Luke's father is death~~ and ~~Luke's father is Vader (and alive)~~, up to that point, Luke and the viewer have no reason to assume Obi was lying. Jones his original response makes sense, but the second statement does cause doubt, which Jedi resolved. Then again, my mom would say it was always obvious.
