Question

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 Sister is (-5[1])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 (10[1])kept this (10[1]-5[1])fact from him, one man killed devotees of his dead wife on Polis Massa. David Prowse was given a fake (10[1])line about Obi-Wan to protect this secret (10[1])while filming a scene set in Cloud City. For 10 points, (10[1])a plot (10[1])twist (10[2])in The Empire Strikes Back reveals what relationship between a Sith 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.)
