Note to players: description acceptable. In order to protect this piece of information, the former intelligence agent Malorum was defeated and thrown into a power generator by Ferus Olin. After losing the title Grand Inquisitor and being left to die on Jabiim (jah-BEEM), the Third (-5[1])Sister is able to piece together this fact from a (-5[1])message. Before assaulting a cloning facility on Wayland, a Noghri reveals this fact to (*) Mara Jade, causing her to reconsider her last mission from her master. While punishing those who kept this fact from him, one man killed devotees of his dead wife on Polis Massa. David Prowse was given a fake line about Obi-Wan to protect this (10[1])secret while filming a scene set in Cloud City. For 10 points, a plot twist in The Empire Strikes Back reveals what relationship between a Sith (10[1])Lord and the protagonist of Star Wars? (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: Darth Vader is Luke’s father [or Luke Skywalker is Darth Vader’s son; accept Anakin Skywalker is Darth Vader; accept dad or parent in place of father; accept obvious equivalents such as “Luke, I am your father”; prompt on answers like Luke and Leia are siblings by asking “what other relationship does that imply?”] (Prowse said “Obi-Wan killed your father” while filming.)
