"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Why is Luke's last name "Skywalker"?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
well. in that episode vader SOMEHOW knew to go to that planet.. (the force)... he knew because luke was there..
it all kinda winds in i think.
but just remember, when unexplained, think wizard.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The Lars (Owen and Beru) were not blood related to Anakin and Shimi. As far as everyone knows, Anakin was an only child! There may be some connection between the Lars and Obi-wan Kenobi. I heard somewhere that Owen was Ben Kenobi's brother.

Have you even seen the movies? Emperor Palpatine tells Vader that Luke is the son of Anakin Skywalker and Vader says something like "How can that be?"

Vader is holding a sheet of DNA lab results and says to Luke, "I'm 99.999% sure I am your father..."

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

That's only in the new, special edition versions. Those of us who grew up on the original un-bastardized versions remember that it originally wasn't mentioned till that fateful duel at the end of ESB.
Vader: Obi-wan never told you what happened to you father did he?
Luke: He told me enough, he told me you killed him!
Vader: No. I AM YOUR FATHER!
Of course, the totally rewritten special edition version of the Emperor and Vader's convo (notice the difference in the hologram and the voice from the original) totally undermines that revelation.
Just goes to show you: If something aint broke, don't fix it. That means you mr. Lucas!

It's more like a wandering samurai tale. I've seen tons upon tons of great movies where the protaginist have swords and have the ability to deflect bullets and what not.
And the whole "Master (fill in the blank)" thing, they might as well be saying Sensai. Starwars is a total rip from that motif no doubt about it. The only diff is the galactic fantasy apeal to it which caught on pretty big.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

He told lucas "I don't want to go out like no punk"
He also told lucas that he wanted to have a purple lightsabre because he likes purple...and so he could stand out more the some other people in the combat scenes in Episode 2.

They have the power of the force, they can just sense these things. Like when Luke revealed to Leia that she was his sister, even with her undeveloped power she could still feel that he was telling the truth.

Vader never forgot that he was once Anakin Skywalker. In the original version of Empire Strikes Back, the Emperor hologram (voiced by Clive Revill and looking somewhat like a cross between a human and lemur), told Vader that the son of Skywalker was the disturbance he felt in the force. Vader did not seem phased by this revelation. He simply mused casually that Luke could be turned and the Emperor thought it was a good idea. At the time, there was no reason for the audience to see any connection between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader other than the fact that we still operated with the assumption that the only connection was that Vader killed Luke's father, as reported by Ben Kenobi in Episode IV.
