    I mean, hows he going to recognize him either way? Not like he raised Luke at all.

          It wasn’t that disfigured. When I first saw it when it came out I recognized him, whereas the people that usually watch it in release order now see some young guy they haven’t yet seen, like Luke would. And why is he young but Yoda and Obi-Wan not? Appearance at the end of life as a Jedi doesn’t work, as supposedly he’s been “saved” by Luke.

          Now I can easily explain why Luke understand who he is using the Force, they sense who each other is. Same reason why he can see them at all. But it’s one of Lucas’ bad ideas for edits.

          You know what edit is the absolute worst that I cringe when I see it? No, it’s not Rick Berman McCallum’ (“so much more detail, so dense”) add ons because CGI is so hot. It’s the one originally deleted scene (I think, pretty sure it wasn’t there) of Han and Jabba. I liked the scene, but the manner of edit and CGI work is so bad with Han stepping on his tail it stands out, and then Han’s ending line of “you’re a wonderful human being” leaves new viewers confused.

            My head cannon for that scene is Jabba always losses 300lbs before he goes out and walks around. When he gets back home he just automatically gains 300lbs back.

      Young Luke kind of looks like young Anakin so maybe he saw the family resemblance?
